Re: Demotions at Fox47
Gary is liked because he never says no to corporate. They want to lose anchors, Gary’s the first one to offer to slash positions. He has no new ideas, just excuses why his decisions are right and when it doesn’t result in bigger ratings or more ad dollars, then he blames others. It’s a old routine t...

Re: TV 8 weather/traffic
Unless there’s a highway that’s shut down due to a crash, snow that is making the commute slower, or major construction project, traffic reports make no sense. Most people rely on real time traffic apps like Waze if they want road updates.

Re: Macomb County Scanner: WDIV Workers Fight
Who allows a decommissioned vehicle to leave the station without taking off the wrap? Someone in operations or engineering F’ed up big time and has done ‘splaining to do.

Re: Another leaving WXYZ
The problem is GM Mike Murri. He’s involved in newsroom decisions that are well below what a GM should be weighing in on. Plus the goals move depending on which way the wind blows. I agree that I don’t think the issue is with the journalism or talent. They just can never stick with a plan. Like it o...

Re: Paid for news articles
Sinclair is probably in the clear for this one. The FCC can (and has) fined stations for payola type violations. The articles are technically labeled as sponsored content. But that’s confusing at best, most likely ethically questionable to make it look like a legitimate news article mixed in with re...

Re: FOX 47 revolving door
No one cares about Brad — especially those “Flint fans” who haven’t figured out how to unfollow Brad, now living in Grand Rapids and forecasting for small market Lansing.

Neille has quit once, she’ll do it again. She doesn’t need to put up with the crap she’s getting from the demoted GM Gary.

Re: CBS Detroit Job Cuts
CBS Detroit is now getting slammed for firing a reporter who dared criticize management for not being balanced in its coverage of the Israel-Gaza war: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2024/03/22/palestinian-journalist-cbs-news-detroit-sues-alleges-retaliation-racial-discrimi...

Re: Another leaving WXYZ
Bonds was a million dollar anchor. Abel isn’t making anywhere near that amount. I thought he did a nice job. If you want journalists who know the area and provide real news, you have to provide them a wage that encourages them to stay. Abel is no Bill Bonds. But if WXYZ is trying to reverse years of...

Great news. I’d love to see these games without having a cable, satellite or streaming subscription.

Re: WUD T-Vee Speling Errers
Real leaders inspire… not shame their staff. I’m sure there are people who would love to suck up to their boss. I’m offended by his enail’s tone and would rather him donate the money. That way I wouldn’t be stuck in the same bar making idle chit chat with Brad.

Many people are already tuning out due to this crap. The problem is some of these people don't care that their antics are driving away news viewers.

One of the main complaints from viewers is that all the news is the same. It doesn’t matter which station you turn to, it’s all the same press release fed talking points.
