I assume Terry was part time and thus paid hourly. Wondering if part of the reason her salary was a ridiculously high number could be related to her working more than three days a week when when Kevin Craig was hospitalized in the ICU with exhaustion. Trying to remember if Kevin was active on ...

According to their website: FOX 17 Neighborhood Reporters: Waleed is still listed so right it shows 10 which will drop it to 9 however former Fox17 sports anchor Zach Harrig recently shared a FB post from Matt Wilkos stating he will soon be leaving not just the station but the journalism field, so ...

I honestly wonder if Terri saw the writing on the wall at Fox17 and got the hell out of there when she could but being how Terry is pleasant on air, she used the retirement story to avoid ruffling feathers on Plaza Drive. Imagine if she said she was leaving because Scripps management sucked. As for ...

Looking at on air staff listing page of their website, 10 neighborhood reporters, three listed as news staff (Janice Allen, Josh Berry, Andy Curtis) and three meteorologists plus the four bozos associated with the informercial in disguise called Morning Mix.

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.

From reading one of Kevin Craig's Facebook posts, it sounds like there will be four people left in the newsroom: Janice, Matt, Andy and Daren. Assuming this will be the ones who appear in studio where the community reporters will be work from home in the cities they live and email it in. (I cannot ...

Well, news of another casualty on Plaza Drive whas been made known: Kevin Craig . According to a post he made early this morning on Facebook, he was told in May his contract was not being renewed and his last day on air was August 4 and the one year non-compete within West Michigan would be enforced ...

I seem to recall them (WWMT) doing the weather very old school with with a large pad of paper on an easel (think of the 80s game show Win Lose or Draw) during this. They could do programming but had no graphics or B roll but could do commercials. WOOD's issue got resolved sometime during the day ...

WOOD-TV is suffering from some serious tech issues. I noticed it early Thursday morning when they were airing Early Today instead of News 8 Daybreak, prompting me to watch via WOTV. The odd programming continued in the afternoon when NBC News Daily was airing instead of News 8 at 4. I wound up ...

So far the only known on air casualty is Elliott Grandia. I agree with SHolmes in that Fox17 News pretty much gets downgraded to a small segment leading into Michigan news from WXYZ. Similar to roughly 35 years ago how then WUHQ 41 operated as "News 8 South" opening the newscast with Mark Bedore ...

Who, if anyone, will replace Kolker on the Target 8 investigative team??? The position will likely go unfilled until the NexStar/Tegna merger is approved or denied and we know if the 8 and 13 newsrooms will be combined or not. I haven't watched 13 News in years but they used to have an ...

George is very much still alive.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Antenna TV owned by NexStar? Probably made sense financially to no longer lease transmitter space from Scripps owned 17. Antenna TV was originally on 17 only because at the time of Antenna's launch, both were owned by Tribune. When NexStar bought Tribune, it would ...

Adrianna announced today where she is going next: WESH-TV in Orlando. It's a Hearst owned NBC affiliate on Channel 2. If the call letters look familiar, former WWMT meteorologist Amy Sweezey was here for roughly two decades after leaving Michigan. What has me confused with Adrianna's announcement is ...

I doubt they got many outside applicants. I highly doubt anyone right now right now would want to apply at a Tegna station in a market where there is also a NexStar station until the merger is finalized or SCOTUS rejected. For all we know, Blake could be unemployed in 12 months assuming the merger ...
