CBS 3 Anchor Alycia Lane Released From Contract
PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ―
CBS 3 (KYW-TV) announced Monday that Alycia Lane has been released from her contract effective immediately.
CBS 3 President and General Manager Michael Colleran stated, "After assessing the overall impact of a series of incidents resulting from judgments she has made, we have concluded that it would be impossible for Alycia to continue to report the news as she, herself, has become the focus of so many news stories. We wish to make clear that we are not prejudging the outcome of the criminal case against Alycia that is pending in New York. We understand that Alycia expects to be fully vindicated in that proceeding. We hope that is the case and we wish her the best in all her future endeavors."
Lane has been co-anchor of CBS 3's Eyewitness News at 6 and 11 p.m. since September, 2003.
CBS 3 (KYW-TV) is part of CBS Television Stations, a division of CBS Corporation.
