Re: Some drama at Loco 4

Jason Carr: always the definition of pomposity. And just like all live TV drunks, or hot heads, or those who delude themselves that they’re irreplaceable … he’s now learned that they all end up … sooner or later … firing themselves. In any live on air job management must feel it can trust that empl...

Re: Have I missed it?

Funny, but Mr. Free Speech Elon Musk started shutting down or suspending accounts that made fun of him...............He also suspended Kanye West for his bigoted bullshit, but hey, free speech even if it's ugly. Private Companies suppress every single day. And unless someone was arrested for what t...

Re: Have I missed it?

That bit of hot news belongs on conspiracy media. It also lends to how seriously Twitter had damaged it's creditability. Go fuck yourself, asshole. Seriously. That is so not true. Musk has one hundred percent brought what was happening to the forefront - and any real person would see that it’s inte...

I heard the news on my way home tonight. Jackie Paige made an announcement of sorts. She seemed choked up. Sounded like he was a really good guy.

Most people I've worked with that came out of Specs weren't worth a darn. They had some really bad on-air habits. First thing the PD had to do was re-program them.
That’s such BS. Many big names graduated from there and have done quite well. MANY.

No, this was a good ten years before that. All Podell said was that she was tired of covering black violence in Detroit, but she'll probably not work on TV again either.

Re: WWJ - Jonathan Carlson

In his defense, 5 hours is an exhausting air shift. Impossible to keep the energy always up. Also, the anchors are reading scripts cold.. and the writing is piss poor. Not his fault. He also runs the audio board, plays commercials, keeps logs etc while reading at the same time. Not an easy task. So...

Re: Hmmm,is the news drought at CBS62 about to come to an end?

No anger here, just realism. I see you ducked my earlier questions. The traits I listed are generally what TV stations look for in a news director. To the best of my knowledge, the gentleman we are discussing has never run a television news room, has never been in second in command of a television ...
