CBS11 freelance reporter Stella Payne is no longer attached to the station.
She had been a regular contributor since 2005 and most recently reported on Monday's Martin Luther King holiday parade in D-FW. Payne previously worked at TV stations in Harrisburg, PA and Hattiesburg, Miss. She also had a two year stay, from 1994 to 1996, at KETK-TV in Tyler, TX.
Management confirmed dropping Payne while also noting that two new freelancers will be reporting for CBS11. Marianne Martinez, who starts on Friday, Jan. 25, comes from Fox affiliate KDVR-TV in Denver. Takisha Roberson, starting next week, most recently worked at WXYZ-TV in Detroit.
