Andrew Humphrey just quit WDIV. Maybe Denise can hire him to do weekend mornings. Or get rid of JR and his tacky Fourth of July suit and hire Andrew as WJRT’s new Chief Met.
Yes, because people typically go from Detroit to fucking Flint...

Stink, you really need to get out of your Flint box.


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

Brad posted a team picture without JR in it. I think that speaks volumes. I never liked him much on air but he sounds like a real piece of work from what I hear. Clearly he can't come in to help during severe weather, either. Wnem is being handed the market on a silver platter. Firing JR and Denise would be a great rip the band aid off situation and just start rebuilding.

To me JR reeks arrogance. Andrew would have been perfect for Chief Meteorologist at CBS 62. I doubt he would want to go to ABC 12 and slum it with Matt and Angie.

I read somewhere CBS62 isn’t going to have a chief.

I worked with a lot of fine people at 12. JR is not one of them. He's a pompous pissant.

Now, there's an example of a Detroit market alum who actually deserves to be working in a much smaller market. She is someone whose voice I will never miss hearing.

I saw this the other day and meant to post something similar. I think Flint might be a little too big for her "talent."

It's debatable if she can even do news reporting competently. Her speaking style is very unusual. Hopefully she's received some much needed coaching and will sound better on-air than she did in Detroit.

To the WREX TV , Rockford, ILL meteorologists who do the local weather lol, for ABC 12, because the world would end if JR had to work a weekend, it's pronounced My OH, not. Mee o, spelled Mio. Finally, it's Caseville , not Cassville.

OH. MY. GOD.

While I’d heard of the name Ronnie Dahl, I’d never seen her or her work. Just watched a live report from her on ABC12. Voice drives me nuts, along with her speaking style. She sounds like a goofball on the air. She interviewed some nut job woman about the election who ended up making Ronnie sound decent (as hard as that sounds).

What a horrible hire. ABC12’s reporters and recent hire sports team are bringing their newscasts way down.
