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.

Re: Demotions at Fox47
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.

Sharing Video
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. This just proves the point… https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2024/3/18/when-you-swipe-the-story-from-the-competition If you can’...

WUD T-Vee Speling Errers
Well that’s embarrassing when your boss calls you out for not knowing how to spell. It’s even more embarrassing when the email is passed along to FTV Live to put the entire station and its management team on blast. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2024/3/19/what-happened-at-wood You’d think that af...

Re: More layoffs at 9&10 News
Might make sense for Gray, Nexstar or Scripps to go after 9&10 since they have several other Michigan stations — if they’re interested in building a statewide profile. But I think Nexstar and Gray are at or near the FCC cap.

TC: wrong again. Gainfully employed just out of TV news. Not that it matters, but I have more than three decades in broadcasting.

Re: More layoffs at 9&10 News
If 9&10 were to become an independent station, how would they do it with fewer employees. The station is in a death spiral.
