Lauren Kummer leaving Fox17

Unread post by dwp49423 »

Weekend morning anchor Lauren Kummer announced that August 14 is her last day at Fox17. She did not announce what her future plans are.

I swear they are dropping like flies over on Plaza Drive. I didn't think anyone could run a station worse than Tegna but Scripps is starting to prove me wrong.

Seriously, why are they firing all the good talent at Fox17?? I'm scared to think who will take her spot on weekend mornings! They already ruined that slot by firing Isabella and keeping Reece...

Firing is probably a misnomer, since Kummer and others are announcing their departures. Maybe she is taking the institutional/corporate communications route that on-air talent can often assume.

If things are bad, you don't have to stay forever in the bad just because it's "media."

Her presence lives on. They're running segments with her announcing.

And of course, on her last day, they had her in Byron Center covering Shady "Vladimir Futon" Vance's visit, so they didn't get to give her a nice send off in-studio... *sigh*
