Mike Grogan has left KOTV after 9 years Christmas night was his last broadcast hasn't announced yet where he will be heading next.

Plus KAMR in Amarillo is also hiring for a Meteorologist since Britany Trumpy left for Myrtle Beach. And I believe KXXV in Waco is also.

KOCO has an opening for a meteorologist...but since it was a female that left they may hire another lady.

The PTZ cameras they have (Panasonic HD130/HN130) are really not good at recalling saved shots "nicely", which is why that crash zoom at the top of the newscasts is really jarring and uncomfortable. They're designed to have their shots recalled when the camera isn't on-air. You can slow down the speed at which they recall the saved shots, but then it wouldn't be as dramatic and timed with the music (big groan). They play up that new ability right at the top of the show, but I have yet to see any camera shots change outside of that, period. The sports segments ALWAYS use the wide shot with both monitors. Weather is ALWAYS showing the whole weather center. The only tight shots are at the news desk, and even those are always the same two shots coming from two different cameras.
