CN8 continues to be the haven for anchors and reporters that depart other stations in town.  Former 6ABC personality Wally Kennedy will be subbing for Mary Caraccioli of “Money Matters Today” for part of her maternity leave.  She is due at the end of July. 

 

Also, former Fox-29 reporter and anchor Janet Zappala will be working as a freelance reporter at CN8.  Zappala was a reporter for several years for the morning show “Good Day Philadelphia” until her contract wasn’t renewed a few months ago. 

 

Sources say that Karen Thomas, who recently decided not to return to Fox, may also pop up on CN8.

Remember this classic theme?

 

Good Times
Any time you meet a payment
Good Times
Any time you need a friend
Good Times
Any time you're out from under
Not gettin' hassled, not gettin' hustled
Keepin' your head above water
Makin' a wave when you can
Temporary lay-offs
Good Times
Easy credit rip-offs
Good Times
Scratchin' and survivin'
Good Times
Hangin' in a jury
Good Times
Aint we lucky we got 'em
Good Times
