*maybe* someone will be hired that knows what they're doing?
As it seems almost the entire market has gone to hell. I could be wrong about that thinking though.

Re: ABC12 News Director calls it quits
Will they hire some people back? Would like to see it the way it was a couple years ago. Mallory had some real talent along with Sugden and that other weather kid. The blonde reporter in saginaw was there forever and was great. Cheri lost her election maybe they should hire her back to

Mallory had talent? Must not of seen the talent you speak of when I watched her on channel 12. 
Re: ABC12 News Director calls it quits
Hire Cheri back? 
Please spare us. She couldn’t get to the first break without stumbling over her words at least once, if not more.

I don’t understand the love for Sugden. He was okay at best.

She is a hoser. Loser who couldn’t do crap. The whole station is screwed.

Cheri doesn’t pay rent. She’s a low life

Sugden is far better than arrogant JR. As long as cheap Allen Media own them, they will look like a public access channel operating from a basement.

Might they just promote the recently hired assistant news director Mr. Sean Mahon?organman95 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 08, 2022 2:05 pm *maybe* someone will be hired that knows what they're doing?

Perhaps his onboarding isn't just coincidental timing? Just guessing, as I'm not even in the biz.

Re: ABC12 News Director calls it quits
Mahon is seen as a Denise stooge.
They needed to promote Pat Wilson… who was the Assistant News Director until Denise drove him out and he reunited as Jayne Hodak’s #2 at WNEM. Pat knew the market, the people. People liked and respected him.
GM Brock refused to get rid of Denise before permanent damage was done. Now we’re stuck with Mahon and a bunch of open positions that they will hire under qualified new college grads to fill.
What was once a proud station is now a shell of its former self. Great job, Byron Allen!
