OnTopic: Ahmad’s departure was set in stone a LONG time ago. When they started laying people off and kept piling up newscasts with no additional help, he said screw or to the mandated 1% raises. The only reason it took him so long to leave was that he was under contract. CBS made it very easy for him to make the jump. Of course, the former GM tried begging him to stay and the HR Director/ Grilled Cheese Party Planner threatened that he would NEVER work for another Sinclair station ever again. It just shows how tone deaf local station managers are when they can’t/won’t address bad morale, bad pay and fail to understand career progression in a bigger market.

But did he pronounce Clio correctly?

Ahmad always pronounces all cities correctly. No help needed there…

He left for A. BIGGER. FUCKING. MARKET.


What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

I seem to recall that he had stated other Detroit TV stations tried to lure him down there but he turned them down as he loved the area. I’m thinking a brand new start up venture that spared no expense and thru a boatload of money at him made the decision easy.

Not really - you suggest in the whole post that Flint could have kept someone from Detroit. You acknowledged that people do go to bigger markets, but your post could have been one sentence.

Realist: Ahmad started his career at WDIV as an intern under Chuck Gadica and Paul Gross. I was surprised when he said he was going to CBS 62 as opposed to WDIV… but I’m sure you’re right that CBS showed him the money.

And Matt, I f’n love you. Your fake outrage always brightens up my day. You’re the best, buddy!

No M60. He won't. His work is more of the same scare tactics seen too often over the last few years. People are slowly tiring of it which is why he has to beg for new followers every other post. Not to mention the "independent journalism" we see includes sharing real news stations links. So much for independent. If he really wanted to be an independent journalist he would work privately finding his own information and avoid working for a one-sided think tank.

One-sided think tank? Like Wnem, Abc12 and on to goes. He will do just fine.

What exactly does this mean, “he will last longer than you”?

I don’t think he’ll work in broadcast journalism again
