Non-competes do not keep you from working in the industry, they keep you from working in the same DMA for a term of usually 6 months after the end of a contract. I have never heard of a "stipend". This is standard industry wide, but if you know someone who went "across the street" immediately after ...

I’m pretty sure she would not be welcomed back in West Michigan. She plays the mother Theresa act really well but she was ruthless in her pursuit of success and earned a lot of enemies when she tried to bully out one beloved morning anchor. I’d put money she tried this tactic at circle 7 and failed...

Looks like they hired one meteorologist. The hiring ad is no longer on the site.

I love when people who work at a particular place use the ol' "no longer on their website".

Either way, that's good news because no one would want George to have to work 6 days straight and wear a repeat bow tie.

If we're talking the anchor "A" team - probably somewhere in the range of $250,000 to $500,000 a year. "B" team? Probably $125,000 to $200,000 a year. I suspect Devin Scillian and Huel Perkins are the highest paid news anchors in the market. I bet Scillian makes $750,000 a year at least. Reporter s...

Marlee was a very capable anchor. WOOD has a short bench in that realm. I hope they don't go "el cheapo" by simply expanding Susan Shaw's hours. Eva Aguirre Cooper did a terrific job with community relations, but the woman has zero gravitas when appearing on camera. She is robotic. Perhaps she's mo...

No mention of her shoplifting charges? Looks like the m-live reporter simply copied and pasted her goodbye letter.

I've heard she is a really bitchy person to work for. Explains that's why many people suddenly quit on 3 Mile. I can imagine those whos have stayed their the longest have kissed her ass. I have never heard that about her and I don't think slamming her personally is fair. Her rep has been and remain...

I read that Janet was retiring last night enjoy retirement Janet. I wonder if Fox17 is nipping at WZZM in the ratings? "nipping at 13"? Seriously? 13 has been in the rear view mirror of 3,8 and 17 for years. 13's efforts are only in applying for and trying to win emmy's and MAB's. They submit the m...

Sorry. Don't watch TV news anymore. Barely know any of them.

Yet you peruse a website and click on a link directly about a local TV personality? Okie dokie then....

Very sharp set, I like it.

How on earth do my earlier comments represent "WOOD bias?" Care to post something constructive, or do you wish to continue trolling this thread? Yes, I absolutely believe Kyle's contract was not renewed, and I suspect compensation is probably the biggest reason why it was not renewed. Then your "su...

He was likely shown the door due to budget cuts. We've already discussed that here. I like Kyle, and I think it sucks ass his contract was not renewed. 17 follows the same course as 8 when it comes to hiring young people for weekend weather duty. Again, more WOOD bias. If you truly think KU simply ...

The WOOD TV love fest continues on here. Any other station that hires a Weather person with two years experience is hammered, but WOOD gets credit on here for hiring a Weather person with "good educational background". And after all, this hire is Kyle related, yet nothing on his future or why he was...

E.W. Scripps to acquire WXMI, the Fox affiliate in Grand Rapids as part of Nexstar divestiture . I think the bigger get from that article is Scripps is getting WPIX New York. That's a big deal. It would be interesting if Scripps could use its leverage as the largest ABC affiliate owner and change 1...
