  1. Christie McDonald has apparently left WDIV after about 2 years there… she’s been off and on in Detroit TV since the 90’s having worked a number of years at WXYZ and later at WTVS doing public affairs programming.
  2. That implies they have a file of those somewhere. Somebody grabbed the wrong Friday.
  3. That last part I’ll never understand… unless he’s terrible at finances he’s made of money… so he could take that kind of pay and be fine. It’s that kind of thing that makes the press releases about how much they love making a difference ring slightly more hollow. There are a lot of normal folks whose HOUSE is worth the same money he’d make in a year.
  4. Entertaining the thought for a minute… is 32 still the cellar dweller with poor quality relative to the other stations in town? My knowledge of the other stations is pretty out of date.
  5. What if he just wants to ride off into the sunset? The guy is 69… it’s check your watch to see how much longer he can do this time.
  6. I know of at least one station that used the 5pm anchors for the noon newscast back in the day… that may be 6 of one and a half dozen of the other to do it that way. It saved killing the morning folks in terms of a grueling day.
  7. Joel Sebastianelli is joining WDIV from Buckeye Cable Sports Netork as the weekend sports anchor. Hobie Artigue will officially become the weeknight sports guy.
  8. Thank god nobody put you in charge of say product safety or getting potholes fixed.
  9. Really it says something about humans being creatures of habit. Like anything else disrupting routines is usually a net negative.
  10. Yeah one of the more enjoyable things about this week and next is seeing weird things like the lead sports anchor doing the 6pm newscast as an anchor or some young street reporter giving it a try when few are watching anyways. It’s a break from the mundane.
  11. If you listen closely to what she says some of it sounds a little poorly worded at times too.
  12. There is a reason a lot of TV folks hang around past their expiration dates. Many of them will go until they literally can’t anymore.
  13. WXYZ Has added former WJBK reporter Randy Wembley who spent 10 years there before leaving in 2023.
  14. Good reason for that…. She did a program on public TV that was current affairs focused.
  15. Their weather lineup isn’t exactly a group of world beaters…
