CBS3 fires Reece, May, Orr

New management at CBS3 has axed three of the station's biggest on-air names - Beasley Reece, Kathy Orr and Chris May.

Just before 2 p.m. Tuesday, "Eyewitness News" anchor May tweeted: "I've anchored my last broadcast at CBS3. Hope to see you all again."

A source close to the station informed me Tuesday that the station's new general manager has been on a mission to "turn things around" because of unsatisfactory ratings, and that people are being let go left and right.

A spokeswoman at Channel 3 confirmed for me that May, weatherwoman Kathy Orr and lead sports anchor Beasley Reese are no longer with the station.

"We thank them for their years of service and wish them the very best in their future endeavors," she said.
