Some people just assume TV Spy is a reliable source of info... It's not...

Do they serve those little white castle burgers in the jail?

 

If they do, I bet that reporter got arrested on purpose.

 

The media will do anything for free food.

You're right about the free food. But the town's got a history of stiffing the public when it comes to public records requests.

 

And you can only fine White Castle burgers in the grocery stores down here.

I don't think they have an actual White Castle brick and mortar in the South...They have Krystal...

I don't think they have an actual White Castle brick and mortar in the South...They have Krystal...

 

Nashville is as far south as White Castle goes....it's one of the few places that has BOTH Krystal and White Castle.

 

Heck, Louisiana is probably too far away for Krystal itself. This town seems like the place where the cops pull you over for a taillight they busted themselves!

 

EDIT: There are a few Krystals around New Orleans....but that's it. The closest one to White Castle is in Laplace

Jon Brady is the new ND for XETV-6 CW San Diego. Jon comes from KING-5 .

Judging by the canned response it sounds like she didn't leave on her own account .

Word from FTVLive that long-time anchor/reporter Murray Feldman of Detroit's WJBK FOX 2 is heading out the door. Reason is because his contract deal

will not be renewed and he'll be gone from station in May. There's also word that two on-air staffers have been told they are done after their deal comes up.

And look at here. Another Hearst station adding a 9pm show on its Me-TV sub. This time, it's KOCO.

 

KOCO is also adding a hourly 9am show on its main channel. These shows go in effect next Monday.

Depending on who else they cut DIV or XYZ might pick the other 2 talents up, nobody else there was close to Feldmans age...

Another main anchor departure, but this time in Austin. Tyler Sieswerda is leaving Austin's KVUE ABC 24 will soon depart ABC affiliate in late May, with plans to

to Dallas. That's where his partner CBS News correspondent Manuel Bojorquez, lives. No word on who will succeed Tyler in the anchor desk.

The ax swings the wrong way. There some other on-air personalities that should of gotten the boot, and Murray was the wrong person to get kicked to the curb. He been there for 40 years. WOW!

Here hoping they don't get rid of Sherry Margolis, because a few years ago they were trying to get rid of her, but she was saved. She another mainstay that been with the station since 1984.

As it turns out, its not just Murray who going to be gone soon; but Lee Thomas and Jason Carr as well. The station has also cut a few behind the scenes staff as well.

Of the two Carr is most likely to land elsewhere in town...

I agree. I see Carr being picked up by WXYZ, and maybe an anchor chair. Since Jeff Vaughn gone to LA who anchoring the 5pm news on 7 nowadays?
