Fox 2

Of course his departure was the result of a totally botched firing of a popular anchor. No one just leaves a 200K a year ND gig in a top 15, because they just didnt like it.

“After much thought and reflection,” Blanton said, “I have come to the decision to step aside as Fox 2’s news director

“After a great deal of reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as General Manager at WDIV-TV” Ellis said in a statement

The similarity between the two statements is hilarious to me.

I don't know for sure but my guess is Brooks resigned because he was continuously undermined by a micromanaging GM. Anyway he wasn't shown the door by security and will remain in his job until October, which would get him to the first year of his contract where both parties have outs. He is not leaving because of a scandal like 4's GM.

I'd be willing to bet money the Taryn Asher saga is the cause, and I'm not so sure this decision was purely by his own choice.

You’d be wrong.
I have a phone full of proof of him quite literally trying to escape this abusive workplace from several months ago. And despite what so many people on Buzzboard seem to think, people actually DO choose to leave this industry BY CHOICE (I did). And sometimes even when they dont have their next job lined up as may be the case with Mr Blanton

I wish him well. As they say, a fish rots from the head. That appears to be the case with Fox 2. Dysfunction seems to be the order of the day over there as of late.

Anyone who thinks this man resigned voluntarily is a dumb dumb.

The very next thing after the ad is a black screen that says “the rules have changed.” Also a Chris Edwards sighting.
