This is why we have a "Great Resignation" in the first place. Who the hell wants to get screwed in the ass so much? He asked for a schedule changed. They refused and he walked. Easy as that.

I hope this gets laughed out in court and they get to pay his legal fees... It's might not be as clear cut as that, as they mentioned there was a two-year contract involved. It might have included provisions of giving an x amount of days notice to quit and vice versa to fire. Or any number of provisions that protects either party from the other in regards to terminating the contract. While New York is an at-will state, if a contract is involved, the contract's provisions trump certain employment regulations. 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11663-news-12-networks/page/8/#findComment-269080 Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsman123 112 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Thats what contracts are for. You cant just quit. He violated it, and a judge will side with the station for damages. Or likely, they will reach a settlement for him to pay back moving expenses etc. If they didnt enforce the contract, no one would take them seriously. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11663-news-12-networks/page/8/#findComment-269083 Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read, the major changes are that all the NY stations are merging, with no mention of any changes in CT or NJ. Time will tell. If News12NJ becomes another NY centric station, that will become an issue.

newsman123 112 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 They all suck at this point. Crappy reporting from subpar reporters and anchor rejects. It was always basic and lower tier, but had well known long time faces, that provided some comfort. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11663-news-12-networks/page/8/#findComment-269116 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, Altice probably doesn’t care. They seem to have been moving toward integrating the News 12 networks anyway, and these resignations will give their out-of-touch management team an excuse to move further with that effort.

It can be run on one of their sub-channels The deal that was made many years ago was that WWOR ch 9 would move to NJ, and be NJ centric with news. That lasted a few years when they started to be more a tri-state newscast then dropped NJ coverage after being bought by Fox. Eventually Fox closed their news department. Several politicians want to challenge the license in saying Fox is in violation with the old agreement. Thing is, Fox has closed and destroyed the former studios. The channel today is of little value with judge shows, many hours of Family Feud and the My Network repeats. NJPBS has an evening show, but its produced by Thirteen, and is only a half hour, so it scapes the surface of a few news stories. When News 12 NJ started, it was co-produced with the state's largest newspaper. That deal ended, and since then Optimum has diluted the effort, getting a lot worse the last few months. It is a shame since there is a need despite the coverage of big stories by the NY flagships or Philly stations.

WMGM was in the viewing area of their Philly duop of WCAU/WWSI. Members of WMGM would end up creating SNJ Today.

Its so bad here on Long Island they'll talk about sharks, fluff, with NYC centric and finance news, meanwhile they fail to report on actual news, such as an armed home invasion last night in Old Brookville. The FCC really needs jurisdiction over this situation and soon. These cable networks need to be regulated just like the broadcast stations, especially when areas like New Jersey and Long Island don't have any of their own broadcast TV stations.

Geoffrey 857 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) News 12 Long Island moved to Bethpage this week. I don't have access to the channel but one of the anchors posted this: There's also this mirrored vertical video tour of the studio where Samantha Augeri says this is a temporary studio, which makes me feel better because it definitely seems temporary or secondary from the little I've seen online.

NYNewsCoverage 300 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) She said that the main studio will be ready in a couple of months, and the current area they are in will be used for segments. She also said News12 Westchester will be broadcasting from there as well. Definitely seems like an upgrade from their old studios. It seems like this was in the works since 2018, and likely got delayed with the pandemic considering construction is still ongoing. https://libn.com/2018/09/13/new-studios-for-news-12/ Edited August 19, 2022 by NYNewsCoverage Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11663-news-12-networks/page/8/#findComment-276366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
