Re: Brent Ashcroft leaving WZZM

More likely that Nick would depart next. Brent's departure leaves a H*** hole at 13.

Re: Changing of the Guard at WZZM

Tegna, schmegma. Look for major departures at TV 13 soon.

Re: Angela Cunningham WZZM

And that's only a few of the recent departures. John Hogan, the cops and courts reporter, decided to leave. So did the chief photographer, who had been there over 30 years.

Re: Laura Hartman Leaving WZZM

Yes, George and Juliet are the last of the people paid decently at ZZM. They cut Laura's pay, so, wisely, she left.

Re: Laura Hartman Leaving WZZM

Yes, George and Juliet are probably "treated well" in terms of being relatively well paid. But they will be the last to enjoy that. Management cut Laura's pay, so she cut out. Best wishes to her.

Re: Shanna Grove

People at TV 13 are like ghosts - they appear and then one day disappear -sometimes they make an impression, but usually not. Does anyone still watch them?

Re: WZZM Morning Anchor James Starks Leaving Station

Starks' contract was not renewed. Great to go back home, but I'm betting it wasn't his first choice. Amazing how ZZM's morning show has melted down since the departure of Lauren and Dan and Aaron, all who stayed in the market, but left the business.

COVID impacts on West MI media

Surprised it took this long - WZZM will get even thinner. What about the other chains/stations - what have you heard?

Re: Kristen Mazur Leaves TV13

This person was very hard to listen to, correct? That place does have a hard time hiring decent people. Suffice it to say, the economic meltdown will mean more cuts at TV 13 and other stations, especially as the Detroit 3 go into shutdown mode.

Re: Meteorologist Aaron Ofseyer Leaving WZZM

Tegna loves to cut costs, always has, always will. Many thought the revolving door might slow once Janet Mason left, but no. Hard to watch that station.

Re: WZZM Continues to Hemorrhage Talent...

And now, the WZZM assignment manager is leaving, the newsroom traffic cop.
