Dumb question, but for those of us who don't know, who is Scott Winters? Was part of the Q Morning Zoo on WKLQ around 20 years ago, then part of the GRD morning show, later WOOD-FM with fellow former KLQ and GRD morning show personality Rick Beckett. Now on WFGR in the afternoons. Ok, Thx for the i...

Dumb question, but for those of us who don't know, who is Scott Winters? Radio maybe? Or TV. And is he still in local radio/tv or is he out of the business? Thx

I don't know where this would fall, but my top 10 things I won't miss when the pandemic ends will include Zoom/Skype/home-reporting and interviews. Ugh. I am so over the poor quality of it. Agree 100%. While zoom has been a life saver of sorts, and great temporarily, personally if I never see anoth...

Why would anyone watch 13 instead of 8 or 17? Is there anything ZZM excels at?

Turnover

Non-competes do not keep you from working in the industry, they keep you from working in the same DMA for a term of usually 6 months after the end of a contract. I have never heard of a "stipend". This is standard industry wide, but if you know someone who went "across the street" immediately after ...

I’m pretty sure she would not be welcomed back in West Michigan. She plays the mother Theresa act really well but she was ruthless in her pursuit of success and earned a lot of enemies when she tried to bully out one beloved morning anchor. I’d put money she tried this tactic at circle 7 and failed...

Looks like they hired one meteorologist. The hiring ad is no longer on the site.

I love when people who work at a particular place use the ol' "no longer on their website". Either way, that's good news because no one would want George to have to work 6 days straight and wear a repeat bow tie.

If we're talking the anchor "A" team - probably somewhere in the range of $250,000 to $500,000 a year. "B" team? Probably $125,000 to $200,000 a year. I suspect Devin Scillian and Huel Perkins are the highest paid news anchors in the market. I bet Scillian makes $750,000 a year at least. Reporter s...

Marlee was a very capable anchor. WOOD has a short bench in that realm. I hope they don't go "el cheapo" by simply expanding Susan Shaw's hours. Eva Aguirre Cooper did a terrific job with community relations, but the woman has zero gravitas when appearing on camera. She is robotic. Perhaps she's mo...

No mention of her shoplifting charges? Looks like the m-live reporter simply copied and pasted her goodbye letter.

I've heard she is a really bitchy person to work for. Explains that's why many people suddenly quit on 3 Mile. I can imagine those whos have stayed their the longest have kissed her ass. I have never heard that about her and I don't think slamming her personally is fair. Her rep has been and remain...

I read that Janet was retiring last night enjoy retirement Janet. I wonder if Fox17 is nipping at WZZM in the ratings? "nipping at 13"? Seriously? 13 has been in the rear view mirror of 3,8 and 17 for years. 13's efforts are only in applying for and trying to win emmy's and MAB's. They submit the m...

Sorry. Don't watch TV news anymore. Barely know any of them.

Yet you peruse a website and click on a link directly about a local TV personality? Okie dokie then....

Very sharp set, I like it.

How on earth do my earlier comments represent "WOOD bias?" Care to post something constructive, or do you wish to continue trolling this thread? Yes, I absolutely believe Kyle's contract was not renewed, and I suspect compensation is probably the biggest reason why it was not renewed. Then your "su...
