Re: 4 Adds A Couple of Weather People

Ron has done very well in Flint and his family is in Detroit. Even without having a full degree at this time he seems to be on par with degreed meteorologists in terms of coverage and knowledge.

Staffing at WEYI as another reporter exits

Alexis Ware has posted she is leaving and starts her new job at WWJ Radio next week. How are they able to get a news product on the air and if they can at what point will they run out of people? One might assume more people will leave as it seems the flow is constant out the door right now.

Add two more to the growing list of those running away. The evening executive producer and a director.

Re: Goodnight and Good Luck

Herm,
I can confirm that she is truly as terrible as mentioned. And rumors coming from WEYI are horrendous. I disagree with Sinklair on almost everything, but this ND is a disaster waiting to happen.

Re: Do malcontents add ANYTHING to this forum?

I hate to defend Sinklair as they seem to want to stir up trouble but the only feedback I have ever heard about Ms. Toldo is how horrible she is to coworkers and how terrible she is as an employee. The list is short of those who remain friends with her. Multiple women who worked for WEYI in the past...

Re: Poor presentation on NBC25

Ron was trained by Ahmad directly. He has come far since he started. I wonder if he will get a full meteorologist title soon instead of forecaster. Erik did well last week but the longer coverage seemed to wear on him today. With more time and practice he may improve. I'll give him one more chance b...

Rumor has it the new News Director has been hired.
The former ND nightmare Karin of WNEM will be back in the market at WEYI.
Time will tell if they add an assistant News Director.

Good talent can come from anywhere, low ranked stations included. Seems to me he was smart for recognizing 25/66 for what it was and getting out.

Re: Bajjey Gone

I was told by a few people there that they had Ahmad in on the process of picking the next chief, and that he met one on one specifically with the person chosen. To me that sounds like the new person should at least know how to handle that newsroom.

He has told the staff he is going to CBS for their new launch. Seems from his post on his Facebook page this morning he has to wait for them to send that information out first.

Good hire, but the fact it took this long to hire and on top of that how Paul was not given the job is sad. He deserved his chance.
