Re: Demotions at Fox47

I would challenge you to find one GM or ND in this market who stands up to corporate. They’re all terrible.

Every.

Single.

One.

Re: FOX 47 revolving door

Sink has issues with everyone. It’s sorta his niche in life. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Re: Demotions at Fox47

He’s to blame for attempting to keep up morale? There’s something to be said about a GM who is both approachable and kind. You don’t find many of those. Here’s the million dollar question, sink. Have you worked in Lansing? As for the in your neighborhood idea….you’re right. Awful. But I can’t help b...

Re: Demotions at Fox47

MasterB: I agree. Either Fox47 should get serious about putting on a quality newscast — not this gimmicky “In Your Neighborhood “ crap — or just not do it at all. I’m not sure a market the size of Lansing NEEDS three TV stations producing news. That being said, I think it’s great that there is a th...

No ramen?! How much were they paying you in Flint? You fancy, Sink. You fancy.

Re: Demotions at Fox47

They are jumping off the ship and FAST! Morning anchor Mikayla Temple just announced that she was leaving her “dream” job for… you guessed it… a PR job at Okemos public schools. While that’s an interesting enough development what also caught my eye was current and past coworkers posting messages li...

Re: WJRT Changes

That’s not the reporters’ fault. Station managers, news directors, HR directors can hold the line on quality and experience… and pay better to get and keep veteran reporters. They choose not to. They choose to lower the bar. Don’t blame the reporter if you’re unhappy with the low standards at local...

Re: Demotions at Fox47

47 should go back to having WILX produce the news for them (but they won’t and/or WILX wouldn’t want to take on the additional shows since they just added a bunch of newscasts). It was 47 that terminated that partnership. Not the other way around. I’m sure 10 would happily take back the thousands t...

I think the weather comes from Fox17 unless they hired a met.
They hired their own met. He’s just based out of GR. Probably cheaper to have him work out of 17…than have to buy all that equipment for Lansing. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Re: WOOD-TV8 staff push back on internal memo to tone down Pride Month coverage

I hope the who TV8 newsroom does walk out in solidarity with Luke and Madeline. They get fired — for at worst — fair comment on work policies. Doubtful that other staffers walk out. Who do you think ratted them out? Nexstar execs interviewed everyone to try to pinpoint the leak. That story again, s...

Re: Deja Vu! WILX Adding "First at 4" Newscast... Again

Good for WILX — building up their station instead of axing jobs like Sinclair is doing in Flint. I doubt they are adding staff,only adding more workload to those who are currently there. Maybe they add a producer, but I do not see any new faces in their promos. Just rearranging the staff that is al...

That last post tells me that Sinclare has his head up his ASS cause 25 has been a starter station for over30+ years! I was there where were you still hanging on a tit?
There’s a difference between being a starter market and hiring sub-par talent. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Re: Being cheap at Christmas

Soundchaser: keep your comments to what you know… The fact is I didn’t go to 25-66 to build character or whatever BS you’re peddling. I went to work at 25-66 to do a job. A job I expected to be fairly compensated for. It became clear very quickly the the former GM/egomaniac was not interested in pa...
