I found this today on WOOD TV web site.
Wonder if someone is leaving or they are adding to their staff.

Maybe they are looking for Bill’s replacement and it’s only going to be a part time position? Usually when someone is named Chief Emeritus at a station they only stay on for 1-2 years before they disappear. Although there are a couple of exceptions.

As far as I know in my EEO travels, part-time postings are not necessary to report for EEO.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 5:06 pm I bet they already have a candidate; that posting was probably made for EEO purposes only.

My understanding is that the Storm Team 8 office has their five on air talents, a couple of part timers that never see air time, and a couple of interns. Probably one of their part timers got hired full time in another market.
