After her "What the fuck are you doing?" incident, Sue Simmons wasn't fired. In fact, she's getting what some might term a promotion. Betting on a ratings surge thanks to increased interest in Simmons and co-anchor Chuck Scarborough, WNBC/Channel 4 is increasing their on-air presence.

The twosome will begin co-anchoring, in addition to their 11pm broadcast, the 6pm news, too, kicking Michael Gargiulo and Lynda Baquero out of their anchor slots. That can't be good for camaraderie. (The change to put Simmons and Scarborough together only at 11pm was made last year.) [NYDN]

As for the ousted pair? Gargiulo remains a "valued member" of the WNBC team, while Baquero will play a "prominent role" there. Heh.
