The early bird doesn’t always get the worm.

CBS’ ‘Early Show’ is playing musical chairs yet again by replacing its on-air team. Making their exit are Maggie Rodriguez, Harry Smith and Dave Price.

Moving in are Chris Wragge and Erica Hill, co-anchors of the Saturday edition of the ‘Early Show’ since 2008, who are scheduled to take over as co-anchors of the weekday show starting Jan. 3.

Also joining the team will be Jeff Glor, who has been anchoring the network’s Saturday newscast, and Marysol Castro of ABC’s ‘Good Morning America’ weekend edition, who will serve as a weather anchor.

Smith will become the primary substitute anchor for Katie Couric’s evening newscast, ‘Face the Nation’ and ‘Sunday Morning.’

New roles for Rodriguez and Price are to be determined.

What do you think of the new team, Show Trackers? Will it be enough to break the show out of third place?
