Re: History in the making
Many of you have said “journalism is dead”. However when it comes to a clear story of importance —the Sinclair run WSMH Fox 66’s decision to mainly focus on the Pence-Trump visit and to not air the impeachment debate is exactly the point. If you claim to be a real journalism station, then you have t...

Re: Kathy Overbite
Don’t make fun of Kathy Reynolds. She is still pulling strings at 25-66. Reynolds is best buds with News Director Neille. They talk on a regular/daily basis. I guess there’s not enough news happening these days in Washington DC to keep Kathy busy.

Re: Kiss-gate
The GM will protect those who are “yes men”... but he’ll throw others under the bus who have a different viewpoint. It’s very much a good ole boys network on Pierson Road. If you want to succeed, you need to shut up and play ball. Or you’ll find yourself on the outs with reviews filled with tons of ...

History in the making
Today, President Donald John Trump will become only the third president in US history to be impeached by the US House of Representatives. So what will you see on Sinclair owned Fox66? Fox News coverage of the debate and vote? Nope. Instead, we will be airing judge shows, trash like Jerry Springer. I...

Re: Another one bites the dust
Also an Executive Producer position is posted. You won’t be treated well... you won’t get paid much... you’ll have to laugh at the GM’s bad dad jokes... you’ll be forced to sell out all journalistic principles to air partisan propaganda... and you can work in one of the worst areas of Flint’s north ...

Another one bites the dust
Another example of how far WEYI has fallen... Jeanna Trotman, sports director at 25-66, is fleeing when her contract is up. She turned down a renewal... for a job in a bigger market? Nope. To spend more time with family? Nope. Because she is pursing a career outside broadcasting? Nope. Trotman is ju...

Ahmad moved into the Chief role when Jamie left/contract wasn’t renewed.

Re: Kiss-gate
Also not talked about during last week’s holiday party at 25-66: the married supervisor who’s sleeping with a married subordinate (actually not much sleeping goin’ on if you know what I mean) and the GM and HR Director who are helping cover up the affair.

Organman: technically you are correct. Ahmad was given the position and responsibilities of Chief Meteorologist without the title.

Re: Appalling lack of diversity at NBC 25/Fox 66
The GM, Assistant GM, Sales Director and News Director took this issue seriously and met Monday night to discuss how WEYI could become a more inclusive home... Just kidding. They all left work early to go watch a Pistons game down at Little Caesers Arena. They had court side seats to the Wizards gam...

Re: Appalling lack of diversity at NBC 25/Fox 66
Herm: couldn’t agree more. Change needs to start at the top. But right now, that’s impossible with the current management that is pushing out persons of color. Dudley: take a chill pill and follow others’ lead when it comes to addressing topics in a respectful manner. I didn’t attack you. I’d apprec...

Re: Appalling lack of diversity at NBC 25/Fox 66
Dudley, instead of attacking other posters here... how about staying on topic and addressing the lack of diversity in local media??? Or maybe you’re one of those anonymous posters from inside Pierson Road who think there’s nothing wrong with the lack of inclusion from persons of color, LGBTQ, gender...

Re: Appalling lack of diversity at NBC 25/Fox 66
Dudley, sorry to disappoint, but I’m not lovinlife. If I were, everyone one of my posts would turn into a Bill Harris rant. But instead of trying to criticize me, I’d prefer if someone — anyone — would like to defend the lack of diversity on and off air at WEYI. There are many people at 25-66 (inclu...

Re: Appalling lack of diversity at NBC 25/Fox 66
The GM, Assistant GM, News Director, and HR Director are all scratching their heads... trying to figure out who this “sinklair” poster is. Instead of fixing the massive problems at the station, they are obsessing over who is airing their dirty laundry in public. Is it a current employee? Is it a dis...

Re: Appalling lack of diversity at NBC 25/Fox 66
Instead of doing a nationwide search for a new News Director, Sinclair’s GM promotes Neille Giffune to the position. Neille is an extremely hard worker and deserved the chance. However before now, she had never been a news director in any market... and her first opportunity is in market 65. Process ...
