Working on the holiday

On this Memorial Day weekend, I am going on a trip instead of spending this whole week at a gas station or a rest stop to talk to people that are traveling. Journalists most definitely feel the pain at the pump. We have to pay those same prices and it can cost a significant portion of our minuscule ...

Re: Sinclair Profits

Nope. Now do you want to argue the question I posed? With station profits rising and cost of living/inflation at recent record highs, that fat cat station groups like Sinclair Broadcasting need to start paying a fair wage.

Re: Jonathan Deutsch out

JD just got married. He’s from Texas. Move allows him to get back home. But why would he stick around? He’s sports director with no help. Neille has made it abundantly clear that she doesn’t care for sports. Johnathan is one of the very good guys. A hard worker. A great teammate willing to help out ...

Re: Brad Sugden out at 12 to be chief in Lansing

EVERY TV station has seen upheaval. 12’s is on a completely different level. A good manager would have been able to stop some of the departures or at least slow it. Denise is not a good manager.

Re: Bajjey Gone

So no one wants to dispute the facts I’ve presented? That JRT and EYI are in a race to the bottom? Good. My job here is done!

Re: Bajjey Gone

Not Sinklair. But I do agree with what he/she said. 12 and 25 are in a race to the bottom.

Divided Country is good for Sinclair’s Profits

If you want to know about the culture at Sinclair, all you have to read is the latest ramblings from its CEO Chris Ripley. https://deadline.com/2022/05/political-division-midterm-elections-primaried-jd-vance-sinclair-broadcast-1235028187/amp/ Gotta give it to the guy.

The next time Neille, Becky or anyone at Sinclair tells you that they can’t give you a raise, remind them of this…

Re: Bajjey Gone

After Jamie Kagol left, Ahmad should have been promoted on the spot. Instead, they played games, made Ahmad wait, and low balled him to save money. It was only a matter of time before Ahmad decided enough was enough. Leslie is a train wreck on a good day. Ron isn’t qualified as a meteorologist to ta...

Re: Brad Sugden out at 12 to be chief in Lansing

Brock should have fired Denise on Day 1 of his tenure as WJRT’s GM… and promoted Pat Wilson. It wouldn’t fix everything at 12, but I guarantee that this mass exodus wouldn’t have happened. 12 used to be the place to go to. Now it’s a laughing stock. 12 is still better than Sinclair’s 25/66/46, but t...

Re: Brad Sugden out at 12 to be chief in Lansing

What is with the exodus of 12’s meteorologists to smaller markets? First, Colton Cichoracki goes to WILX… now Brad Sugden is leaving for WSYM. Are JR and Denise that difficult to work with? 25/66/46 is a disaster too. To say that 12 is worse than the Sinclair run triopoly is to ignore its mass exodu...
