Re: News director opening

She finally got tired of making excuses for corporate never allowing open positions to be filled and paying well under market average? The long hours and having to produce newscasts, edit shows, etc. had to take a toll on her. However, even with Neille leaving there is less than zero chance that who...

Re: Coverage of Jan. 6 Hearings

Matt: since I’ve never worked at 25-66, consider it done that I’m “over it”. However you seem to have some pent up anger. I’m sure Sinklair must have done something to make your life this miserable. If he/she/it doesn’t work there as you allege, you might to take your own advice and get over it, mov...

Re: Coverage of Jan. 6 Hearings

Yes, WEYI is carrying it — NBC, ABC, CBS all are blowing out prime time programming to carry tonight’s hearing. Fox is providing a Level 2 special report, which means it is leaving it up to local stations to decide whether or not to air it. Instead, WSMH is choosing to air MasterChef Junior and Don’...

Re: Coverage of Jan. 6 Hearings

Matt: since you seem to have an obsession with Sinklair, I will once again state that I am not him/her/them/it. However, you once again fail to stay on topic. Is anything about my initial post factually incorrect? If the political slant of the story goes against WSMH, Sinclair, or Fox News’ talking ...

Coverage of Jan. 6 Hearings

Fox 66/Sinclair Broadcasting will not carry the January 6th hearings on air today. That should tell you everything you need to know if you think that's the place to go for truth.

Re: New Sports Director at 12

Molzon and Slocum were both good. I agree Phelps was the GOAT. After Ryan was forced out, management decided to deemphasize WJRT’s sports coverage.

Re: Working on the holiday

The difference is management makes the rules and they’ve accepted the responsibility of building a culture that promotes the well being of its staff. If recognizing staff who are working on holidays when management clearly doesn’t want to be bothered to show up, there are many other ways to show app...

Re: Working on the holiday

You’d be a perfect candidate for management, Jack! Please apply online ASAP with your crappy attitude and lack of empathy for employees. One of my former bosses (now retired) used to and still does go to his employee’s kids graduations and sporting events. He sends birthday cards. He reaches out to ...

Re: Working on the holiday

I don’t work at WEYI. But it’s not a bad idea.

I’m sure the Union busting GM Becky Butcher and News Director Neille-Ann Giffune would do everything in their power to prevent that from happening.

Re: Local podcasts

Duff Tyler was a sports anchor and reporter in Indiana before coming to WEYI where he was initially hired as a photographer/editor. He left after station management didn’t follow thru on their promise to promote him to a fulltime sports position. Ryan Slocum was the Sports Director at ABC 12 before ...

Re: Working on the holiday

When you can make more money at McDonalds, working every holiday these days for a few extra pennies just isn’t worth it. That’s why so many are getting out of news.

Re: Working on the holiday

Dave understands that news is a 24-7 job. However, you won’t see any manager, sales account exec, or other “non essential” personnel show up today. It would send a strong message if the GM or News Director would even pop in for a half hour to just thank his/her employees for having to sacrifice givi...
