25-66’s former GM/accountant in chief/egomaniac was bumped up to Sinclair’s station in Seattle… only to run out its News Director. So who does he hire to replace Bill Dallman? The News Director in Tulsa, Oklahoma!

It is obvious that Conklin thinks so little of his handpicked In Over Her Head Flint News Director that he didn’t even consider Neille-Ann for the “upward mobility” promotion.
It also says A LOT that so few people would consider working for Sinclair that they had to resort to Tulsa for this big market hire. Phil is a nice man, but he won’t last two years before Conklin drives him out of his last place station.
Acceptable registrations in the queue through June 3 at 5:00p ET have now been activated. Enjoy! -M.W.

Bypassing Neille-Ann
Re: Bypassing Neille-Ann
Bill Dallman got a job in the Twin Cities he worked for WZZM years ago. Were you hoping 25-66 was going to get a new ND?

Re: Bypassing Neille-Ann
Master: yes. I’ve been hoping and praying for that for years. 25-66 needs new leadership if we’re ever going to be more than a distant #3&4 TV station.
Re: Bypassing Neille-Ann
If you were appointed news director, what would you do differently to bring ratings out of the basement?
Re: Bypassing Neille-Ann
BTS: I don’t want to be news Director. I enjoy my job. However I expect management to do their job.
When managers make decisions that affect the livelihoods of others, they have a responsibility to fix problems that can improve ratings, revenue, morale, etc. 25-66 management fails in all three areas. They need to support its workers, give us the tools to compete against 5 & 12. They need to pay us better to reduce the revolving door of talent. They need to promote more persons of color into senior management roles at the station and corporate level. They need to stop airing Sinclair’s one-sided corporate must-run propaganda.

Re: Bypassing Neille-Ann
Why no vote yet for forming a union at 25-66 would the reporters/anchors band together and form a union if a vote happened?

Re: Bypassing Neille-Ann
Master: 25 had a Union. It was a failure. The Union was so ineffective that the UAW just gave up and dissolved the local bargaining unit. Management rejoiced and haven’t treated employees past and present well since then.
I’m not sure another Union would fare any better. Plus Sinclair is known for its Union busting tactics, so reestablishing a presence would be an uphill battle, especially with Michigan’s anti-Union laws.
But it once again fails to address the core issue of management incompetence. This is a problem that 25-66 and the corporate Death Star should fix… if for no other reason it would improve morale, reduce turnover, improve the quality of the newscasts we air. The only reason 25-66 and it’s new Shipped In from Out of Town new Sinclair GM, the ASSistant GM, the In Over Her Head News Director, the Director of Declining Sales and the HR Director/Party Planner won’t do it is because it’ll cut into the stations’ bottom line.
