Gone too soon. R.I.P

Gone too soon. R.I.P

how much longer would he have to work for it not to be "too soon"?

He meant.. there are only two investigative reporters left in the market. Ross and Heather at 7.

Each station used to have a robust team. It’s very sad.

Rob wont be replaced. These positions are being eliminated. The Fox O and O in Atlanta had one of the most honored I Team’s in the US. Fox shut it down earlier this year. As contracts come up, they arent offering new ones.

I see- it was in context of Detroit market not just channel 2... maybe its a new thing at Fox and hopefully not everywhere. Agree Wolchek was one of if not the best in depth investigative reporters there were, he will be missed.

Wonder if there is any real job market in tv for investigative reporters anymore or locally if maybe WWJ or WJR is looking to expand their programming in any way to include an deep investigative program related to local issues- one that relates to Wolchek's on 2 but maybe in radio form?

I doubt it on the radio… that seems to be in a state of constant cutting and atrophy now.

I know, I was just trying to being hopeful (while also giving these program directors some ideas).

Just a shame when people go out right before they reached their peak

such a shame to be on air for so long and never reach the peak potential

I agree, an underachiever. never realized peak potential
