Re: Local 4 Photographer Contract
Top scale photographer is less than 7 and about the same as 2, 62 only has a few unionized photogs and I feel like they are paid comparable to 7 but I am not positive. 2 and 4 are represented by NABET, 7 and 62 are represented by IBEW but different locals. WXYZ's technicians; photographers, editors,...

Re: Sinclair getting into show creation
Advertisers won't pay for hash marks, so they dumped the List and paid a few sheckles for Extra and Mario Lopez.

Re: Sinclair getting into show creation
Scripps tried to force feed its stations with bad syndications and it failed miserably. The odd thing is that they could produce quality shows for HGTV and Food Network but after selling those properties they couldn't do it anymore.

Re: Former WXYZ ND is at it again
Oh Rhonda, the stories I could tell. I believe the Mayo Clinic is in Rochester, MN, probably a lot of female visitors from Texas visit the city to get top notch health care not available in Texas and other states anymore.

Re: Sinclair’s Sports Channels Prepare Bankruptcy, Putting Team Payments at Risk
Amazon as a white knight for Diamond would keep MLB and the teams patient enough to give RSMs another year. It also would be a setback for the unionization of the broadcast technicians that put those shows on the air, Amazon's hostility towards unions is well known.

Re: Sinclair’s Sports Channels Prepare Bankruptcy, Putting Team Payments at Risk
I think MLB and the teams decided it was too late to negotiate new deals and build the infrastructure to broadcast a full season in a little over 3 months, thus decided to give Diamond one more year to figure it out. Cleveland and Dallas must have gotten a jump start in getting a new broadcast netwo...

Re: Sinclair’s Sports Channels Prepare Bankruptcy, Putting Team Payments at Risk
MLB and Diamond made some sort of agreement today that will likely keep the Tigers on Ballys this year. The details will probably come out Jan 10th in the next scheduled court date. Diamond will likely lose The Cleveland Gaurdians and Texas Rangers from those RSMs but keep the other 9 MLB teams it h...

Re: Demotions at Fox47
Simulcast WXYZ for all day parts except 6 and 10 which would be local Lansing and have local WX cut ins in the simulcasts. Then they can have a small staff that can focus on those 2 newscasts and do a proper job of it.

Re: How much time off do you get at cbs62
They seem to pay their below the line people pretty well, but they have a smaller staff.

Re: Bally Sports May Lose TV Rights to MLB Next Week
Tigers could be playing on TV 20 this season. I'm guessing Illich would produce the show and sell it to 20 or 50 for cash and or time. Would be a golden opportunity for the technical crew who works the games to unionize and get a contract right off the bat. If Ballys Detroit loses the Tigers this se...

Re: WDIV Detroit Launches Newscast With 15-Minute, Commercial-Free Investigation
A lifetime ago Steve Wilson did an 18 minute investigation story on the collapse of Kmart on ch 7. Line 5 is a big story with a lot of competing interests. I'll have to watch it sometime.

Deena and Taryn are both in their 50's now. Hair dye, not smoking and sunscreen are the reasons Gen X looks way hotter in middle age than Boomers did.

Re: WJRT Changes
The Scripps Family Trust would only sell if someone grossly over paid, Allen looks like a bargain shopper and more likely would go after Sinclair stations in a fire sale.
