I wonder if Scot got tired of the lack of support for sports at TV5. Other than Friday Night Lights and the 11:00 news, they offer very little in sports coverage. I think I once heard that their GM is of the opinion that people can catch the scores on the internet. Using that logic, we can also get our news and weather online too.

Very strange goodbye on Facebook from Scot.

Listening to Jim Morrison. Hair disheveled. Stubble on the face.

Didn’t seem like he was ready to go. Didn’t say why he was leaving. Didn’t thank coworkers or News Director Jayne or GM Ken.

Ken gave a rambling goodbye. In the anchor intro they say he’s “retiring”, but then Ken wishes Scot good luck in his next adventure. Something stinks as they try to spin Scot’s departure.

Scot did take credit for inventing Friday Night Football while at WEYI. The anchors spent their time sucking up to Scot.

But management didn’t even wait for Scot’s body to get cold. His bio was taken off the website BEFORE he signed off for the last time. I guess the message from TV5 management is “thanks for 29 years of service, don’t let the door hit you on the way out!”

Now it’s Mark’s turn — along with Austin and Cole. Why bother even airing sports?

TV5 just doesn’t take sports seriously. Never has, never will.

David Custer was conveniently off tonight… but in his Facebook tribute to Scot, Custer once again made it all about himself: “He once told me that the biggest compliment he could ever receive is a gay man complimenting his fashion. Real men wear pink and Scot wears it well!”

Is Scot still on sportstalk 1440 WMAX?


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

That hasn't been a sports talk station in many years.

David Custer always wants to make it about himself. All the best Scot Johnson.
