WILX Mornings
WILX Mornings
Is Mallory Anderson solo again on WILX mornings? I know Lansing is a revolving door of talent, but this was a super quick one (like a handful of weeks). WILX introduced Amicia Ramsey as a morning co-anchor with Mallory on May 11, but today I noticed she was gone from the WILX website. She hasn't posted a WILX-related Facebook post or tweet in a few weeks. Her latest Instagram post from 5 days ago is a photo from the WILX set with the caption: "They can't stop me, even if they stopped me." I wonder what's going on there...
Re: WILX Mornings
Yes, Amicia Ramsey was released after less than 2 weeks on the air. She struggled during the second week while Mallory was on vacation. She was solo the first day, but had the morning weekend anchor added the next day. Mallory was back solo on Friday of that week and Amicia wasn’t seen on air again. WILX has had the position posted for a week or so.gotigers wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 9:20 pmIs Mallory Anderson solo again on WILX mornings?

Maybe Gray shouldn't own stations if the can't manage them.

Re: WILX Mornings
I enjoy viewing Mallory Anderson in the mornings but I do miss Claire Cameron. I thought that Emily Wahls would become a weathercaster. Where is she?

Re: WILX Mornings
Not any time soon, Darrin Rockole had been promoted back to chief, and will be back on mornings next week. I guess we look for Emily on the 11am newscast?wsummers wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 8:57 amBeginning on Monday…dirtymind410 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 8:41 amI enjoy viewing Mallory Anderson in the mornings but I do miss Claire Cameron.

Re: WILX Mornings
Obviously, things have recently changed. Darrin said a couple weeks ago he would be splitting weekends and the 11am news. He announced he would be taking over mornings next week this am. They also had an ad campaign for Emily joining on the air beginning today airing for the last month.
Here is the news release. Note, no mention of Emily Wahls…. https://www.wilx.com/2021/08/30/wilx-ne ... reporting/
Best guess is a contract dispute as this would be one year and it would likely be up for negotiation.
Also, new graphics package and branding began today.
Re: WILX Mornings
This has been such a strange year for the WILX weather department. First Darrin "retires," then he comes back part time, then he comes back full time (but says on his social media that he's not the chief meteorologist), and now here we are... right back where we started with Darrin doing mornings as chief, Andy in the evenings, and Justin filling in the gaps. And to top it all off, the Fox 47 news share agreement ended so we lost a couple other meteorologists at that point.
Is Emily Wahls even at WILX anymore. She didn't even get a mention in the article. Her LinkedIn has said "chief meteorologist - WILX-TV" for a while now, so I wonder what happened.

Re: WILX Mornings
So their "big change" is that they reverted back to the same weather lineup they had for years, and turned the logo they've had for years red. Oh how exciting!
Re: WILX Mornings
Interestingly enough, the open meteorologist position from Diane's departure at WLNS is no longer on Nexstar's jobs page. Have to wonder if Emily is going back there...

Re: WILX Mornings
The day before Emily was supposed to start -- she got an offer somewhere else out of state and told Wilx she was leaving. Whole plan blew up on them. A year getting paid to do nothing at WILX completely worthless. So, back to Darrin whose retirement happened before Emily was even in the picture. Looks like grass wasn't greener on the side so it worked out for him.
so- all that buzz for nothing new but a new logo.
