Sean Mahon is the new deuce at ABC 12:

https://www.michiganmedia.com/2022/10/2 ... s-wjrt-tv/

https://www.linkedin.com/in/smmahon

Graduated from Central Michigan. Worked as a photog in Detroit. 4 years as News Director at 9&10 News in Cadillac. Left to become Managing Editor at Spectrum News in Wisconsin.

Let’s see how he does… Sean should be the heir apparent when Denise is eventually let go.

However it appears that management didn’t do even a basic search online. If they did, they would have found the following red flag comments about Sean on Rate My Station:

“Sean is very disconnected from his staff. Has no idea how to run a newsroom by himself and treats his staff like absolute crap. Sits in his office most of the day, if he even bothers to show up at all. He doesn’t even know the most basic stuff about stacking or producing a show and only knows how to micromanage.”

“Sean takes several employees to the golf course and tells them “what happens at the golf course stays at the golf course.” He makes sexual comments about the female workers to other employees constantly. He said “do you think anchor x and anchor y go home and sc*ssor each other every night?” To other employees. Management will not do anything about this. It’s embarrassing, humiliating and harassment.”

Sean Mahon
“He does not know how to manage people and really doesn’t ever know what’s going on. He can be nice and has good news judgement when he’s participating. He gets over-involved a lot.”

This is not a good initial first impression for a station that desperately needs leadership…

Looks like Sean Mahon will run everyone out at ABC12 and females may sue him for those types of comments as well.

You should see the comments on WNEM and 25-66 on Rate My Station… just as bad.
