Re: Conklin Leaving?!?!

One change to your statement: I would say Beer is “hardly working”. Wrong again Stink! If you would have made your one change: I would say “Beer isn’t working”. That would be correct. How can you call yourself a journalist if you can’t write facts. But look at the bright side of all this. When the ...

Re: Conklin Leaving?!?!

Once again, this proves how poor of a leader the accountant in chief is... Who leaves in the middle of this pandemic that is causing many disruptions on our news gathering and sales operations? For someone who says he “cares” about the workers here, it feels more like he’s locking the door on a hou...

Re: Conklin Leaving?!?!

R: yes, they will likely promote another Sinclair Director of Sales to take over. However there’s fear that maybe the station would be sold or cut news altogether — going back to a news share arrangement with 5 or 12. Many of us worry that Chad has driven the station so far into the ground that SBG...

Re: Conklin Leaving?!?!

Not that the staff is being told anything, but the rumor mill is on overdrive and now industry websites are saying 25-66’s accountant in chief is leaving Flint... to become Sinclair’s GM in Seattle: https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2020/3/19/the-next-seattle-gm So wait... you run the last place st...

Not really. We’re focused on reporting good, actionable information focused on empowering our viewers to keep themselves and their families safe. We’re setting aside competitive differences with our colleagues to work together to show the various impacts on our viewers. You just like to post on a b...

Re: They have gone mad.

I think it’s horrible that you’re conflating the decisions made by healthcare professionals to try to slow down this pandemic and save lives to the Nazis who exterminated millions for ethic-based genocide. Words matter. Hey, look everybody! Stink has a conscience! And a new thesaurus! And yes, word...

The 12's weather channel always cuts spots. It's bad.
Been that way since day one.

I saw the same newscast. Totally unacceptable unless Gray wants to run a high school public access channel. TV 6 in Marquette does a better job.
While Gray is a terrible company, I think 95% of 12s problems are created in house.

Re: WJRT is taking a beating on Facebook

I watch ABC12 for my 6pm weekend news (can’t stand TV5 and I watch FOX66 at 10pm) and am getting sick and tired of the weekend amateur hour. Both last night, and especially tonight, were bad I.e. - Stories and commercials just abruptly ending - Cutting away from Gov Whitmer’s press conference for a...

Re: They have gone mad.

If you have an issue with the approach the government is taking, you should probably read up one he science. I hope you and your family are safe. But attacking local reporters who are informing people of what’s happening in local communities isn’t going to end this pandemic any faster. What is this...

Re: 25-66’s lack of Coronavirus response plan

Herm: some people like Beer aren’t the brightest bulb in the studio... and therefore like most commercials, you need to hear it 5 to 105 times in order to comprehend what’s being said. Beer is apparently at the upper end of that range. The Zima apparently has killed off all his good brain cells... ...

Re: 25-66’s lack of Coronavirus response plan

Lovin: good one. But remember Beer doesn’t work at 25-66 (wink, wink) Plus, if Beer did work here, he wouldn’t be in a “cubicle”... he’d be so far up the GM’s butt that there’s no chance he’d be exposed to Coronavirus! Stink and Lovin. Just like chocolate and peanut butter. They are perfect together!

Re: 25-66’s lack of Coronavirus response plan

Having essential people not get infected probably does more to control the spread of disease. That’s it! Whew... when Beer didn’t respond immediately I was worried that he’d mistaken bleach for Zima. Glad you’re back to gaslighting again this morning, buddy! Controlling the virus is important. They...

Re: 25-66’s lack of Coronavirus response plan

I definitely know the difference between wine spritzer and JD. I’m pretty sure you’re a Zima type of guy... but you digress again by taking a serious, current topic affecting stations and it’s employees again off topic. If you know so much and are as well connected as you say you are, you will know...

Ask your buddies at the White Horse (two words)... I’m self quarantining myself with a bottle of Jack Daniels.
Jack Daniels? You sound more like a wine spritzer kind a guy.
So, essentially you're saying you don't know.
