It's been an eventful fall in Philadelphia for new CBS3 sportscaster Don Bell, 27, who got married in September and moved to town in October to begin his new position with the station.

"I went from St. Louis to Maui [for his Hawaiian honeymoon] to Philadelphia. I'm still trying to figure out the best place to go to the grocery store," said the Union, N.J., native who arrived from the WB affiliate in St. Louis.

Bell earned his bachelor's degree from Boston University and master's from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern. He began his career in Sarasota, Fla., then worked in St. Louis before joining CBS3.

Thrown into the T.O. drama, Bell witnessed some differences between St. Louis and Philadelphia.

"Football is the top sport here, where in St. Louis, it's baseball all the time," he said.

Bell will anchor sports for the 4 p.m. news on Thursday and Friday and report the rest of the week.

He joins CBS3 sports director Beasley Reece and weekend sports anchor Steve Bucci on the sports team. Garry Cobb will continue at CBS3 through the football season, then pursue other interests.
