Re: another departure from Fox17 Weather department

If Laura stuck it out she could've been M-F weather met evening newscast when Anthony left a couple of weeks ago. Someone said Laura wasn't a team player at Fox17 when she left in the fall. Maybe, but have also heard that she and ND Boers were less than chummy from their time together at 8 so who r...

Re: another departure from Fox17 Weather department

My guess would be it wasn't his choice. They were looking to fill this role with a familiar popular face from years ago, all the way back in January, before he had anything in the hopper. Besides, if he had another gig lined up, why wouldn't he say?

Re: Meghan Bunchman hired at woodtv

I remember her. She was definitely lousy. So it didn't surprise me when GVSU hired her as an adjunct given quality level of some of the professors I had there. In fairness to her however, as bad as she is on air....at-least she's even more bat#### crazy off air, so she's got that going for her. And...

Re: Leigh Ann Towne says Nichts to "The Morning Mix"

Apparently her side gig, High Five Bargain Bling is doing well enough to give up her co-hosting role. She's been on there about 7.2 years and will be done with the show, March 1. https://www.fox17online.com/morning-mix/leigh-ann-towne-leaving-fox-17?fbclid=IwAR148AFU_q0HLSg4IMbNj039VFCFiTb7xVnX4pCy...

Re: Doctor complains about TV 8's Whitney Burney's looks on screen

Upon further thought, I must say the remarks were so out of line, that I cannot help but wonder if someone was blackmailing him. I think it is a distinct possibility. Never underestimate how stupid (and in this case sexist and borderline racist) someone can be. Fool me 37 times...shame on me. Real ...

There is just one in West Michigan with that name and a phone number that starts with a 2

Should figure out which hospitals he has access to and complain to those health systems

Re: Fox 17 weather

Could this be the reason for Laura V to leave? for not getting paid extra. Nothing to do with it. The weather team has overlap with their Mets on each shift when the Lansing segments are taped so it's not like they're "swamped". While some call it "consolidation" which isn't wrong, Fox 47 NEVER hir...

Re: Brent Ashcroft leaving WZZM

13 has been a mess since Price Communications bought it years ago. It never recovered from the great West Michigan Telecasters days. Revolving door. While you're not wrong about 13, aren't most stations these days a revolving door? I know most on here think WOOD walks on water, but even they have s...

Re: Brent Ashcroft leaving WZZM

Asscroft got shafted from TV-17 years ago, after literally building that team (they did the same to Chan). Hopefully not the case again. Apparently he's either retiring or the coin adventure will be more lucrative than TV-13. Best of luck, Brent. Honest Q, every time someone known in this market le...

More likely that Nick would depart next. Brent's departure leaves a H*** hole at 13.
Yes, Nick is leaving. Isn't that common knowledge at this point? Gone in December.
