GoldenShine9 1513 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Yet another reporter gone because of vaccine mandates, and she goes full conspiracist. KMOV's Kim St. Onge has been fired by Meredith (and would have been fired by Gray if they had not aligned their policies). 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/463/#findComment-266065 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathannah 2428 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) KREM broadcast some certain images they shouldn't have on the Sunday 6 p.m. newscast through a weather center monitor, and of course, it involves police and corporate investigation, and no doubt, the FCC will be there soon. Speculation is suggesting a WDBJ-level fine, but even worse since it involved the type of nudity that's more than Cinemax-level. 15 hours ago, GoldenShine9 said: KMOV's Kim St. Onge has been fired by Meredith (and would have been fired by Gray if they had not aligned their policies). And she does happen to mention a 'non-disclosure payment', which I had a feeling the Gray folks who separated but don't go to the media are happy enough about to accept. So she agreed to full masking and testing...but not being a part of meetings except on Zoom? I'd be bouncing if I could just watch news meetings in another room and stay there.

GoldenShine9 1513 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) One more fired by Gray over vaccine refusal: KGNS - Barbara Campos, morning anchor The common thread seems to be that nearly all those who were fired were in smaller markets (very few were in markets above 100) and in very red areas. Most of them also seemed to be those with high levels of experience. If that is the case, the bloodletting should be less when Tegna and Scripps impose theirs next month, since they are much more prevalent in larger markets.

Most of them also seemed to be those with high levels of experience. Or else they seem to be very green and didn't get proper counsel about how to proceed. As I said above with the KMOV reporter (whose management moved heaven and earth to keep her on and she still tossed the toys from the pram), all of those who have left either have plenty to live on in retirement or think the industry has short memories and will just allow them to come back once a magic 'herd immunity, you don't have to get the vaccine!' line is crossed (and it's a hindsight relief that Ben Swann was canned from WGCL well before the pandemic). The Tegna and Scripps lines fall just before the holidays, so there may be a few holdouts who will likely capitulate for family gatherings or getting to be part of the year-end promos. I know I'll be interested locally to see how the WTMJ newsroom falls, remembering the lawsuit a couple years back where a former employee had issues with co-workers pressuring their beliefs on him.

Scott Steele? Turn over at WTMJ has been significant since Scripps. It’s going to difficult to track who is leaving on there own/ getting the boot for other reasons and who’s leaving because of no vaccine.
