Ukee Washington reporting from Wildwood for CBS3 Eyewitness NewsQ&A

Veteran broadcaster Ukee Washington considers himself “old-school,” and he’s proud of it. His approach to broadcasting (and to life) is that “we are family and all in this together.” 

Over 33 years in the Delaware Valley media scene, Washington has covered some of the region’s most momentous events: the 2016 Democratic National Convention, Pope Francis’ historic visit in 2015 and Superstorm Sandy in 2012. He switches gears often, going from a prison interview with a former classmate on death row to guest hosting CBS’s “The Talk” to cameo appearances in movies – some starring his famous second cousin Denzel Washington – where he always plays “the newscaster.”

Washington isn’t ready to turn in his mike any time soon. “They always say, if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life,” he says. “I’ve been on vacation almost 40 years.”

    Ulysses Samuel “Ukee” Washington III (is an American news co-anchor for the weekday evening newscast on KYW-TV in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He currently anchors Eyewitness News on CBS 3 at 5,6 and 11 PM with Jessica Kartalija and Eyewitness News on The CW Philly at 10PM on sister station WPSG-TV, also with Kartalija.

    Washington originally co-anchored the opening segment of CBS3@4 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 layoffs that occurred due to corporate restructuring in the wake of both the December 2019 merger of Viacom and the station's parent company CBS Corporation to become ViacomCBS and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, however neither Brown nor Hoff were laid off from the station. Kartalija was added to join Washington in co-anchoring the broadcast until October 2021. In that month Brown was reinstated as the sole anchor of the 4pm newscast until she would be joined by former WMAQ-TV sports an
