Re: WOOD-TV8 staff push back on internal memo to tone down Pride Month coverage

Are they looking into his decision-making regarding gun issues? He belongs to a pro-gun group. Will he advocate for getting the other side during the next school shooting?

The Point Show on Wood

Can someone tell me what is point of the To The Point show on TV-8? I just watched a bit of it. It was a half hr of people talking about the state budget and not even the final budget just what may happen. I mean it was like cable access.

Re: Old school TV 8 promotional videos from 1984

There's a bit of confusion in some parts of this thread. You have to keep in mind that NBC was in the toilet in the ratings in the late 70s and early 80s so all NBC stations were suffering. This was also a time of innovation, so more live trucks and new ways of presenting news were going to happen, ...

Meijer Goes to Afghanistan as Media Go Missing

What if I told you one of the heirs to the richest fortunes in the area, who also is elected to public office, took a surprise trip to Afghanistan during the chaotic evacuation? And what if I told you this trip resulted in condemnation from the Speaker of the House, SECDEF and others? Do you think i...

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

The word "chief" is offensive and disrespectful to Native Americans. She should be called the "Main Meteorologist."

Yep, that's what I'm reflecting on.
It's all transactional.
Even at the senior management level.

Re: Fox 17 Poaches Wood TV News Director

Bill wasn't in management and didn't have access to strategic marketing research and coverage plans; he was a credentialed professional when he joined ZZM. I guess my view is old-fashioned; personal connections and loyalties matter to me more than a few extra dollars to be earned at the station acro...

Re: Fox 17 Poaches Wood TV News Director

I'll explain how TV news works. If Mr. Boers is successful in his new job, which I'm sure he hopes he will be, it'll result in higher ratings at Fox 17 and lower ratings at News 8. That then will result in budget cutbacks and reductions at WOOD, his former professional home where older colleagues to...

Re: Fox 17 Poaches Wood TV News Director

It's fine to leave for a new job. However, it seems particularly disloyal to leave a station where one has spent his entire career to go to the direct competition. Basically, he's seeking to undermine the very people who mentored him and gave him so many opportunities through the years. There must b...
