https://tvnewscheck.com/journalism/article/wjbk-detroit-news-director-stepping-down/ I'd be willing to bet money the Taryn Asher saga is the cause, and I'm not so sure this decision was purely by his own choice. You’d be wrong. I have a phone full of proof of him quite literally trying to escape t ...

My hunch. Same with Mr Ellis at TV4 “sudden resignation”

Not jumping to another station/market, leaving on his own, by choice.

I know him, great dude and he ran a killer shop in GRapids. Will the last one off the Titanic please shut off the lights...?!

How is it after cuts? Same as before the cuts, just fewer people there to see the trainwreck that it is. Station has steadily gone downhill the moment Tribune sold to Scripps. Some of us just brushed it off as their coverage being a casualty of covid, but nope, just a real bad company that spends ...

BTW, I’d love to piss on Bob Price’s grave for his destruction of WZZM in the late 1980’s. Late 80s WZZM certainly wasn't as good as mid 80s WZZM, but the product remained pretty good into the first half of the 90s. I thought Channel 8 at times looked like crap in the first couple years following re ...

Yep. Who’s going to be the new Robert Price? BTW, I’d love to piss on Bob Price’s grave for his destruction of WZZM in the late 1980’s. The new destroyer of local stations in my opinion is none other than Adam P. Symson, President and CEO of Scripps News Group. Scripps has its for sale sign up all t ...

But it sounds like all is well according to you...Amanda is thriving in a new career, she is no longer subjected to a "racist newsroom/company" and we viewers are no longer subjected to bad anchoring? Sound about right? Great, we ALL win! This sounds like a good opportunity for moving on. Everyone ...

LH is a Leon Hendrix, a black man who got away with things in that newsroom that any other person NOT of color would have been fired for IMMEDIATELY....YEARS earlier. "I wouldn't have chance at dating her". I literally have no idea who this woman is, nor do I have any clue what she looks like...I ...

Only a matter of time till the newsroom at 17 goes away. I actually sampled about 20 mins of Fox 17 news it last night (by accident) for the first time in a LONG time, and it appears the newsroom is already gone. Literally jumping from story to story, some were local...others randomly in Colorado ...

“if you are unable to accurately pronounce routing English words, you are fair game to be let go. It's real simple, anchors are hired to "deliver the news"...so when an anchor is unable to do that in a clear and accurate manner, they are not successfully fulfilling their job requirements.” By “ro ...

Kevin talked often about his investments. Yes, also posts quite a bit about pinching pennies ...etc. Odd for sure. Investing and spending money wisely....yes, so odd Telling complete strangers about your investments is odd...yes. And fixating on$$$ in all of your posts is obsessive for sure. And ...

This thread is shocking because if the public had true insight on WOOD TV8 and how the people there operate, I don’t think there would be this misplaced hate for Amanda Porter. I worked at WOOD TV for several years even before Porter arrived and the station was truly going downhill even before the n ...
