Brad, you're just another one in the long and illustrious list of people that have abandoned ABC12 because of terrible management. The Chief Engineer ran off his entire engineering team. A News Director that is burning up people left and right. Not a hard decision to leave a place like that.

Good luck Brad! But I don’t understand the new gig. You’ll be Chief Meteorologist for a Lansing station… but you won’t even live or work in the Lansing market? This seems like a new trend of working out of market. Although Grand Rapids is a great city.

Will you be seen on Fox17 in GR from time to time or just WSYM Fox47?

Same complaint Stink had about people at his old station not living in shitty flint...


What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

Sounds like Sinklair may have a point. Not sure how you’re expected to effectively cover the community you serve or participate in community events if you live in another market an hour plus away. Even so, getting out of ABC12 is a good career move these days.

Stinklair to Stinklair, I think I agree with Stinklair. Amazing!

Awe shucks Stink. I don't make any money doing this. I do it for the shear pleasure. As far as being a troll. As Stink you took the art to a whole new level. And then to come back as UNM! Bravo! You can change your name, but its really hard to change your M.O.

Soundchaser: You don’t seem to disagree with my observations about how bad our local stations have become. If that makes me the new Sinklair in your mind, so be it.

Fact is so many ABC12ers have left the station recently because of Denise, Skip, and others. If you want to confirm that, just ask around. Won’t be hard for you to find someone on Lapeer Road who is planning their exit.

Stink, I don't agree with much of anything you have to offer. The fact is, the mass exodus from ABC12 started about 7 years ago with engineering, programming, promotion and weather moving over to 25/66. The fact that you have maligned so many good people over the years on this board amazes me. It's funny that if you would have waited a few months instead of quitting, the news directors job could have been yours. Your dad would have been proud.

Stink liar quit? I assumed he was fired because he bitched about his non-compete.

I don't think we knew what Brad's last day was. He said his goodbyes today. Didn't we know he was leaving before we knew Ahmad was leaving? That's a long notice.

Brad is in a better place. He won't have to do weekend news anchor and sports duties. He can be a meteorologist doing the weather. What a concept 👏

I wonder how bad that station was holding him back? I'll be following to see what he creates over there at fox47
