Maybe some places didn’t see as big of impacts, but I lost power and saw significant ice. Other places had flooding. My point is if the station claims to value weather so much... where is 25-66 management’s priorities? Clearly “Storm Ready” is only when it’s convenient. Weather coverage is only imp...

Wrong again. The term “poor slobs” is a term of affection. I know those people well, and don’t envy the position they are in. But if we are going to tell the truth, there was a lot of down time, and just a matter of time before it was addressed. TMP. I will give you credit where credit is due. Tom a...

So Beer are you claiming your meteorologists screwed up the forecast and that’s why you pulled back on plans to do morning updates? There was never a plan to do a morning update... And if you’re so concerned about the accuracy of your weather forecasts, maybe don’t be the only station in the market...

As usual you are wrong in your assessment of me and my attempt to provide clarity on some of your issues., Down time was a H*** factor in 12s decision to “hub”, which by the way was a H*** failure. After a year or so of having the absolute worst looking air product imaginable, they brought back MCR....

When you have a major ice storm, you need to be on the air providing important weather and safety information. By listening to Ahmad and other meteorologists, this was a more than just your average winter storm. So you’d think “Mid-Michigan Now” would air a special weekend morning news. The other s...

Focus should be on building systems that prevent mistakes. Less people who are overworked doing more tasks/newscasts lead to these types of preventable mistakes. We need to stop excusing the mistakes and demand better from workers and managers who create the conditions that allow for sloppiness. I’...

LL: no they aren’t alone. You have young and overworked journalists doing more with less. When you’re producing multiple newscasts or turning multiple stories per shift, you limit your ability to catch these mistakes. Is it right? Hell no. But it’s the reality for money hungry station managers who ...

Then I guess that makes you the fool.

Beer: if you love Easter Egg hunts, apply here: sbgi.net.

If I wasn't retired I would.

I don’t think this thread will change much. Sin will still be on the job looking for change. People will apply for jobs. Some will get hired, others won’t. Some will stay, some will go. Some will make the best of their opportunities, others won’t. Oh, I just realized you have an Easter egg hunt also...

I wish you guys well in your quest to change the world. With the way the industry is changing, I think you have a long row to hoe. I don’t think public shaming is the answer, but it seems to be the way the world is. I never met a person in this business that didn’t think they should be paid more for...

To think that there is some super secret scheme to not hire minorities is ridiculous. Are you implying that there are no people of co...

Does he have to pay to leave?

So sad that many are leaving with nothing to go to. Unemployment is more appealing than working there.

If he broke his contract I’m sure he paid.
