I notice the other day that FOX 17 weather team is also on FOX 47 in Lansing. Does any other stations do the same thing? Do they get paid more?
just curious
Acceptable registrations in the queue through May 12 at 7:00p ET have now been activated. Enjoy! -M.W.

Re: Fox 17 weather
The "hub" and "spoke" method of corporate content distribution meant I had responsibilities for newscasts in Battle Creek, then several years later in Madison, Wisconsin and Minneapolis, while going about my business in GR. Look at websites for your towns of responsibility and do the best you can.
I can only say that my employment continued, because I picked up more work. Whether jocks who voice-tracked shifts got more, I thought in certain cases, they did.
Between NWS content and whatever radar resources are available, these FOX folks have much the same requirement.

Yes - other stations do indeed do the same thing. A newscast that airs on WKBD in Detroit is taped in Dallas. The NBC affiliate in Toledo gets its newscasts from a sister station in South Bend. WLAJ in Lansing years ago received its newscasts from WWMT, or at minimum, the weather from WWMT.
Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

Re: Fox 17 weather
I suppose if there's one *good* thing about 17 and 47 sharing weather resources is that it should, theoretically, make for rather seamless severe weather coverage when there's a storm system that moves from GR market territory into Lansing market territory.

Could this be the reason for Laura V to leave? for not getting paid extra.

Re: Fox 17 weather
Nothing to do with it. The weather team has overlap with their Mets on each shift when the Lansing segments are taped so it's not like they're "swamped". While some call it "consolidation" which isn't wrong, Fox 47 NEVER hired Mets when their news operations started up a year ago so 17 has been doing this the whole time and the little extra work is hardly quit worthy. I just don't understand why people on here still "can't understand" why people are leaving this biz. The entire world is going through a great resignation with Covid/time away from home vs. time spent with family, so when you throw in the crummy hours of this industry, it's a no-brainer for many.uncleducky wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 9:04 pmCould this be the reason for Laura V to leave? for not getting paid extra.
