Ukee Washington

Ulysses Samuel 'Ukee' Washington III (born August 20, 1958) is an American news co-anchor for the weekday evening newscast on KYW-TV in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He currently anchors CBS News Philadelphia on CBS 3 at 5, 6, and 11 PM with Jessica Kartalija and CBS News Philadelphia NOW on The CW Philly at 10 PM on sister station WPSG-TV, also with Kartalija. Washington originally co-anchored the opening segment of CBS3 @ 4pm along with main anchors Natasha Brown and Alexandria Hoff until May 2020, when Brown & Hoff were inexplicably removed from their anchor positions on the broadcast. The move came as a result of corporate restructuring in the wake of the Viacom and CBS Corporation merger and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Kartalija was added to join Washington in co-anchoring the broadcast.
