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...

Re: Amash for President...?

In May, Amash voted against the TRUTH Act, which sought to increase transparency around the PPP and the companies that received assistance. The bill, which failed to achieve the supermajority House Democrats needed to pass it under an accelerated procedure for consideration they chose to use, would ...

Research has shown the viewers watch more if it's live (eg, Live with Regis & Kelly, etc).

Re: Upward Mobility

You guys need to totally reset your thinking. The highest paid TV-radio personality in recent years in this market was barely making $100K although there were some nice perks thrown in.

Re: Amash for President...?

The Washington Post covered a local congressman suggesting he's going to run for president and you don't think that's newsworthy? :hat

Re: Amash for President...?

What is the POINT of having local political reporters if, by 11 am, they still don't have a story up about the local congressman probably running for the highest office in the land? It'd be like The Press being asleep when Jerry Ford was sworn in and, in fact, The Press covered it very well back then.

Re: WOOD TV 70 Year Special

Seems obvious to me that Nexstar, with annual revenue of $1 billion, could have hired Suzi's production company to help with the anniversary special. That's a way you show appreciation and respect.

Albin on WOOD radio: "I'd like to interview him but haven't yet."
Dude, hang out at his district office or a public event and stick a mic in his face.

Amash news

Great job to 13 for the Amash interview; it's going national. Would have liked a few tougher questions (What do you think of DeVos dropping you? What do you say to all the loyal Kent County GOPers who stuffed envelopes and knocked on doors for you just because you were a Republican and not because o...
