Re: The Local Roster for Scripps TV keeps changin'...

Ironic to think how much relief there was when Sinclair was ruled unable to keep 17, yet Scripps falls into their laps, and while clearly a less unethical company than Sinclair, Scripps is quickly becoming one of the least desired companies to work for in the industry nationwide.

Re: Changing of the Guard at WZZM

After reading what they did to Shanna Grove.....nevermind. One has to wonder why the talent has abandoned TV13? Kristin Mazur, Sarah Makuta, all the female weather reporters...so yeah. Never Mind. Guessing you never spoke to anyone at 13 about their side of the Shanna Grove story? I'm no 13 apologi...

Re: Jackie Green - Mrs. America

We had her at our business to do a remote. What an expensive mistake. She was rude to our customers and staff. That was a waste of money. It's clear that she's not a very nice person. Now, what ever station she's on...we change the channel. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk Incredibly immature ...

I like how their current news set looks other than the oversized video wall.

George does a very good job; I hope he sticks around for a while.

Re: Changing of the Guard at WZZM

I hope you’re wrong. Barrens imo is hard to watch. Gives me bad Kyle Underwood vibes. His on-air presentation is hokey small market. He fits nicely on weekends or whatever. Great voice, perhaps has the looks best fit for radio, but if "hokey" is your concern, after all we are talking about George L...

Re: Larry Figurski Leaving TV Full-time

We've heard all about the post-Covid career reboot but man, it appears an endless number of people in the TV industry who actually got to spend some extra time with their family while working from home have all come to the same realization, the industry flat out sucks for work/life balance. Good for...

Re: WOOD-TV Looking for a Meteorologist.

I gotta feeling that Laura is going to sit for six months and then Re-Appear on WOOD TV, in her old position. Non-competes start from the end of the contract, not from the time you leave. She clearly left her contract early so she'd have to sit out for more than a year and a half by my calculations.

Re: WXMI Fox 17 Job opening for Meteorologist.

I was watching 17 over the weekend and Laura announced she was leaving the station and thanked West Michigan for inviting her into their lives. Wow… she’s only been there 8 months. Hmmm, okay if I throw out a speculation regarding her next employer? The upcoming Oct. 25th launch of Fox Weather (web...

Re: Fox 17 hires Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn

Watching her on WXMI; her on-air skills are excellent. Cannot comment yet on her forecasting ability, but I'm surprised she isn't working in a larger market. Such a big upgrade over Candace what's-her-face (the tall lady with the hoarse voice). Is she still with the station? Candace is not only sti...

Re: Ellen Bacca named first female Chief Meteorologist in West Michigan

Hands down the best TV meteorology crew in the state. ZZM, despite being down a person, is also darn good. WXMI has lost some good people lately, and I haven't watched WWMT enough in recent years to form an opinion. Michael (Don't call me Catherine) Behrens already has a better delivery and on scre...

Re: Ellen Bacca named first female Chief Meteorologist in West Michigan

The weather deck is stupid; I agree. I didn't mind the target, though. I liked the fact the weather team was held accountable for forecast accuracy. The weather ball is even more stupid than the deck. The physical weather ball is obstructed from view from most directions. The on screen weather ball...

Mike Avery asked him earlier this week if he had any plans to...and he said no. Not sure about Kevin Craig. Maybe he'll head down to Fl...
