Re: Local 4 buyout packages
.....including a year of health insurance. Hopefully they don't have sticker shock when that runs out. Half way decent insurance will run $700 to over $1000 a month at that age (Over 55) Not sure what the job market would be in that industry at that age. I'm guessing not good. Right, I would not ca...

Re: Gannett screws over award winning Holland Sentinel editor
The internet has hurt TV and radio, but not to the extent that it has affected newspapers. Most newspapers have skeleton crews and little to no local coverage, so it's no wonder that people don't read them.

Re: WOOD TV Sports Personnel
Grand Rapids is a weird sports market. It is a larger market. A lot of various sports teams. People are very supportive of those teams. That being said, those teams are ones that in the grand scheme of things, no one cares about. No major college teams. Minor league professional sports. Due to that...

Re: Wsym weather in house
Fox 17 doesn’t want sweaty Brad anywhere needs its broadcasts. In fact, they don’t even want Brad working out of GR. They put up with him, because they are told to by Scripps management. But as bad as morale, revenue, and ratings are at Fox 47, this “arrangement” with Sugden needs to change. Why we...

Re: Audacy files Chapter 11
I have noticed that Audacy is now producing the Fly on the Wall SNL podcast with David Spade and Dana Carvey. Previously it was produced by Cadence 13. Note: I just looked it up. Audacy is the parent company of Cadence 13.

Re: How much time off do you get at cbs62
The benefits are the best in the market for anchors and meteorologists. They begin with 3 or 4 weeks vacation time depending on contract, several days of personal time, a week or two of sick time, etc. CBS recognizes the national holidays as paid holidays as well which allows more paid time off. Fo...

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 more likely that they would just have Scripps sister station WXYZ simulcasted on 47 — kinda like what happened in the ...

WILX sports on weekends?
Occasionally I will watch the WILX 6:00 pm news on Saturdays. Do they ever have a sports segment on the weekends? The past few times I watched it, it was just news and weather...no sports. That seems odd since often times the biggest events in sports happen on the weekends.

They are Scripps stations, just like WXYZ stories show up on FOX 47 in Lansing.
