Wow, now I really wonder where his next stop will be...

 

Somewhere where people are willing to put up with his attitude and antics.. (maybe LA) that's the only place I can think of.

Steve was always a nice guy, but his demons will always catch up to him... The guy has deep deep issues, and I don't think he can successfully carry out a career in the public eye anymore.... at least not in a big city where all his triggers are so easily available.

or maybe he will wind up on PIX11..I mean they seem to hire anyone with any kind of background.

I'm noticing that he don't stay too long in a market. :unsure: Does that say a lot about the person or the station?

 

 

Actually, he had a pretty long run here in New York. He spent about 7 or 8 years at WABC and almost 2 years at WCBS.
