In 2004 and 2005, WCBS went to the creators of the hit Broadway show Avenue Q to create puppets to promote their morning show. This particular promo aired between September and October 2005. It announced the arrival of New York legend Jim Ryan to the morning show. Puppets of anchors pictured left to right: Dave Price, Shon Gables, Mario Bosquez, and Jim Ryan.
