Lauren Scafidi is leaving

[T’Variuness King]

She's leaving in two weeks, People in the newsroom tell me her last day is September 1st. They're desperately looking for a replacement.

Why is she leaving? Better opportunity? Canned?

[TC Talks]

Which station? What shift?

Glad to see someone still watches.

Big loss for 'vine&10. I'm sure she will do well, wherever she lands - be it in broadcast or not. I hope she is well.

As an outlier viewer, she always seems positive and a pro in her presentation on MTM. It also seems that she has the queen of time off, though, for whatever reasons... Unlike others on the team who seem to fill in whenever, wherever, I've rarely seen her on-air outside of MTM hours.

Sad to see her go, but I wish her well.

She did take a lot of vacation time, but our boss had no choice. He wanted to keep her, so he allowed it. Apparently it didn’t work.

Bill Froelich strikes again..... pushing out talent .....
If they want a morning anchor with talent .... go get Danielle King.

Lauren isn't from the area and if she's taking a ton of time off... then she is likely visiting her hometown area .... thus why she's probably leaving...

Godspeed Lauren

And Michigan Tits Morning.

Danielle King was fired, so that’s not an option.

We have no one to replace Lauren.

9&10 seems to have lost some luster. Management changes? Looks a little on the budget side.

It's a small market. People usually get experience and move on to better opportunities.

While true, most don't stick around ~6 years 'to get experience and move on.'

Here's the announcement of her departure on the stations website:

Today was her last day. She's Denver-bound.

[T’Variuness King]

She’s left the station, and her bio is STILL on the website? Why are we so slow with taking her off the website.

Today was her last day. She's Denver-bound.

I don't blame her. She will probably be trying to figure out what the big bright "wheel in the sky" is that shines every day.

(hat tip to Steve Perry, of course)

Ruby Arora joined 9&10 as a morning anchor and multimedia journalist (replacing Lauren)

She is a Midwest native and loves learning, volunteering, working out, and boxing. She has worked as a journalist and host for the Phoenix Mercury, Wall Street Journal, and The Guardian.
