How was JRT’s coverage? I assume Kevin Goff was working. How about Kirtek?
Kirtek was not there, but Burkhart came in to help Goff with Matt Franklin at the news desk. I thought their coverage was ok, but only caught a little bit of it as I was mainly paying attention to WLNS out of Lansing.

Re: Caleb Meute Gone from WILX

Per a post on his Facebook page, he was let go due to a "reduction in staff and a realignment in its focus." The full-time position was eliminated and replaced with a part-time position. https://www.facebook.com/WxCaleb/posts/1616464688559726

Re: Gray TV buys Meredith TV group

I wouldn't sleep on the idea of Byron Allen making a play for WJRT, considering what happened with the Quincy Media castoffs. Would also provide sister station support from WFFT/WLFI/WTHI in Indiana.
