Re: Numbers game

I don't think they can function with where they're at. I'm almost thinking they should consider merging their Michigan stations into one broadcast. Maybe call it Michigan News Now with more local meterologists to handle the weather segments. Open a newsroom in Detroit and focus on just professional ...

Re: Hmmm,is the news drought at CBS62 about to come to an end?

I'm curious about programming. I think it's safe to assume we will see the traditional newscasts (4:30 - 7:00, 12:00 - 12:30, 5:00 - 6:30, 11:00 - 11:35 and 10:00 - 11:00 on CW). What about more non-traditional times? 9am - Most CBS O&Os are now airing half hour newscasts at 9am followed by a half h...

Re: Jason Fielder gone

Never cared for the guy. I lost a lot of respect when a friend posted a video of him at a spirit game cussing and acting like a total jerk while working.

Re: TV5 Loses a Meteorologist

Not surprised since he wasn’t given the morning show after Easlick’s promotion. Looks like his bio is already gone from the website.
Best of luck to him, although honestly he came across as a creep to me.

Looks like Jeff Skversky is on board as a news anchor. He comes from WPVI in Philly.

Re: Christy McDonald Joins WDIV

Good hire, but I feel like there’s more to this. Remember when Kimberly Gill was hired as a general assignment reporter and then Carmen retired? I can’t help but wonder if Karen Drew is leaving? Pearly speculation, but it just seems like they have no room for her right now. They have plenty of capab...

Wow. She was so young with two young children. My sympathies go out to her WNEM family.

Re: Queen's Funeral

Is Kimberly Gill sick? It sounded like she lost her voice on the one live shots I saw. That would suck to go all the way to England to cover a H*** event and end up working through an illness.

I’m not a forensic linguist, but based on the posts it certainly seems like sink is one person.
