He is now a financial advisor at Edward Jones, Grand Rapids, Michigan
If I Heart GR really wanted to save money, it would sublet two of it's three floors at 77 Monroe Center.

The Weather "Giant Perv" was shown the door for bad behavior in the newsroom. He was very good on-air, but if even 20% of the stories coming from his co-workers are true, it's surprising he's employed at all.

What are these allegations? Genuinely curious. Direct Message them if you don't want to publicly share.

I assume you're in the business (either radio or tv) or you wouldn't be on here. Just ask anyone who has worked at Channel 8.

I thought WoodTV/Nexstar didn't renew the contract at the end of 2018. I always liked Kyle Underwood and figured he'd replace Bill as Chief didn't know that he had issues at the station, if there were issues wouldn't Kyle not say goodbye to the viewers?
