When did Bill Harris retire?

Post by factchecker » Thu Jun 24, 2021 10:06 am

I don't see him anywhere on the stations' websites.

I thought he was still doing special projects and filling in as anchor as needed, but he's nowhere on the websites anymore.

Anyone know if it was mutual?

Bill was “laid off” in the latest round of Sinclair cuts. Another example of a classless move by the corporate Death Star. The new handpicked Sinclair GM and the In Over Her Head News Director were able to get around the position cut by essentially making Bill a freelance independent contractor working on special projects. So if you’re counting, you work 50 years in broadcasting, jump across town to help out a fledgling new Sinclair news organization and management throws you out when they look to cut costs.
Wow, bummer. Always enjoyed his reporting and anchoring.

If my mind serves me correctly, I thought I saw where Bill was going to be semi-retired a few years ago. Was that his decision or was that when the cuts started?
