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

ZZM does not allow talent to have more than one contract unless the person responds "Oh Thank You". Want to be paid what you are worth or have an idea of your value and express that to management and it is out the door for you. Especially if a woman shows she knows her value.

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...

Weather Games

I am.in town visiting relatives and saw the most hideous sight walking in the hotel lobby. WLNS 11pm weather on the 4th had someone in bright red pants, blue blazer with white stars, white shirt and red tie. Has this station gone that down hill since I lived here in the 80's? What will I find at Chr...

Re: Ridin that train with

13 on the wrong side cannot be doing that good in the morning that WOOD feels the need to shake up the team and bring in new talent.

Re: Fox 17 Poaches Wood TV News Director

Why would it be disloyal. The corporate overlords at these media companies have no loyalty to the reporters and anchors.

Respecting Legacy On Air Staff

I would be nice to go back to the stability of the Golden Age when On Air staff were respected, and allowed to have a following and here local celebrities. I remember Martha Dixon from the old WJIM in Lansing. She was respected for her years of dedication and allowed to leave on her terms with great...

Re: Meteorologist Laura Velasquez joining Fox 17 WXMI Feb 15

I don't think of a chief doing mornings thou which I get that Kevin wanted the weekends off and I guess he said is a morning person when he left the evenings last fall. WILX in Lansing had a Cheif that did the morning shift for years until they unceremoniously did not renew his contract and showed ...
