After a round of layoffs from Scripps this week, I'll bet losing another body hurts.

It seems that Channel 7 has the highest turnover rate in Detroit, especially their morning news. It's had like 5 different male hosts in 10 years, not including the weatherperson rotation.

At this point all but a couple of their airstaff has roots in Michigan. Maybe that’ll breed longevity.

I like her a lot. Great personality, presence, delivery, and very attractive.

I agree. This is a significant setback for channel 7.

Fortunately their hiring of late has been decent… hopefully whoever replaces her is decent.

Jenn Schanz is also leaving WXYZ. Shes moving to Chicago.

Posted on Facebook that her last day is June 28th.

Back in the day, the market paid enough to keep people from leaving. The weekend anchor job at 7 pays 115K. A weekend anchor in Chicago pays 200. Why would you stick around?

Sorry to see her go. Very pleasant and friendly. Like her chemistry with Hally Vogel.

It’s also possible her husband got another job.

Channel 7 seems to have the highest turnover, Channel 4 being second. What is up with that? Kim Russell is no longer listed on the WXYZ staff page. You can get to her old direct WXYZ profile link from Google, but her picture is missing. When did she leave? There is no announcement on her social media and she hasn't posted anything related to WXYZ news since the first week of May. Her LinkedIn shows Jun 2011 - May 2023 at WXYZ. She has said on social media that she would never leave Detroit, but job availability can change that. Alex Bozarjian or Brett Kast is probably next to leave.
