Qualified that in Chicago, WBBM weeknight 10 p.m. anchors Brad Edwards and Irika Sargent do get weeknights off individually and in those instances the other does the newscast by themself. (Edwards may get nights off because he's still with the station's investigations unit--WBBM does a lot of enterprise reporting on their 10 p.m., not just easy to do crime stories and sweeps crap.)
