Re: Lauren Scafidi is leaving

9&10 seems to have lost some luster. Management changes? Looks a little on the budget side.

It's a small market. People usually get experience and move on to better opportunities.

Re: WOOD-TV8 staff push back on internal memo to tone down Pride Month coverage

Does Nexstar have proof that Luke and Madeline released the memo?. Do they just have statements that may have been made under duress of being fired? How was the investigation conducted? Who conducted the investigation? How much experience did this person or persons have in conducting investigations....

Re: WOOD-TV8 staff push back on internal memo to tone down Pride Month coverage

Mr. Tang needs to take his cult like views to a Sinclair station. He can push his right wing agenda all he wants.

It appears to me that if GM Brinks had done her job correctly, all this could have been avoided. She seemed to have turned a deaf ear on her employees.

Re: WOOD-TV8 staff push back on internal memo to tone down Pride Month coverage

Let's not forget the voter suppression memo. Did the GM know about that? Do the people that Nexstar interviewed about the memo and who leaked what, want to tell the same story under oath during a deposition?

Re: WZZM 13's Kirk Montgomery

I would go solo with Juliet for a while. Then maybe move Jay to 6 and 11. I like Jay in the mornings. Really don't want to move him. Maybe put Veronica and Emily together in the morning. Probably gradually add more airtime for Travier. He has a lot of talent, just needs more experience.

The vote memo was clearly voter suppression. He needs to go and if the GM knew about the memo, she needs to go to.

Re: WOOD-TV8 staff push back on internal memo to tone down Pride Month coverage

I believe there is no confidence in the management. No trust. It's probably time to replace Julie, Amy and Stanton.

Re: WOOD-TV8 staff push back on internal memo to tone down Pride Month coverage

GM Brinks should have never let Tang run the newsroom like Trump. Maybe Julie needs to retire. Tang might be happier at a Sinclair station like 7&4 in Traverse City known as Upnorthlive. You are always going to get heat in the newsroom. You need to deal with it. In my opinion, Fox and Tang do not be...

Re: WOOD-TV8 staff push back on internal memo to tone down Pride Month coverage

Nexstar is doing an investigation. It appears Tang and Fox can't stand the heat. As news management, you are going to get complaints about a lot of things. You have to deal with it. It appears they are not in line with Nexstar.

Re: Emmy winners

It's almost like pay your membership fees and get an Emmy. So many people win all these Emmys and still can't get out of a small market.

Re: WOOD-TV8 staff push back on internal memo to tone down Pride Month coverage

The Amy Fox memo triggered the investigation by Nexstar. Maybe 13 is just following the policy of Tenga to exclude stories that might upset the hate filled West Michigan Republicans.
