Re: Brad Sugden out at 12 to be chief in Lansing
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.

Re: Brad Sugden out at 12 to be chief in Lansing
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?

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!Under New Management wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 8:17 amSounds like Sinklair may have a point.

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.Under New Management wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 9:26 amSoundchaser: making a living out of trolling online forums without adding any useful perspective.

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.

Re: Brad Sugden out at 12 to be chief in Lansing
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.Under New Management wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 7:13 pmSoundchaser: You don’t seem to disagree with my observations about how bad our local stations have become.

Stink liar quit? I assumed he was fired because he bitched about his non-compete.Soundchaser wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 8:31 pmStink, I don't agree with much of anything you have to offer.

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 fox47whitebalance wrote: ↑Sat Jul 09, 2022 10:40 amBrad is in a better place.
