I realize but I think they and he want to forget that part… I didn’t think it was quite that long a stint… Edited June 1 by ns8401 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He been a mainstay for 30 yrs. He’s probably there as long as he wants to be but must figure he has more work to do or he’s having fun while it lasts. They won’t cut him unceremoniously or anything. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand an 18-year-old because their legal adults, but under that age is sick. Keep in mind these people aren't even old enough to drink.

James 1 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 On 5/30/2024 at 10:16 PM, ns8401 said: WDIV Is giving 4 of its veteran on air people and several behind the scenes people buyouts. Bernie Smilovitz (main sports anchor joined in 1986), Paula Tutman (reporter joined 1992), Rod Meloni (reporter joined 1995) and Mara McDonald (reporter joined 2004) have all accepted the incentives. This will take effect July 1. The GM even penned an open letter trying to convince everyone it’s not a cost savings move. Their quality has been slipping lately… I can’t imagine that’s going to markedly improve with the talent drain. https://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/television/2024/05/28/wdiv-tv-confirms-departure-four-veteran-members-news-team/73887265007/ Tom Sorrells, Chief Meteorologist at WKMG (who was also at WDIV before WKMG), has also taken the buyout, retiring on June 28th.

tyrannical bastard 3541 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Well, Thomas Geboy was supposed to debut as WPMI NBC 15's new Chief Meterologist today at 5pm.... But then the power went out.... So they had to simulcast WEAR's news out of Pensacola for 5 and 6. We'll see if they're back at 10pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidwestTV 1177 Posted Monday at 04:42 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:42 PM Megan Conway has been unceremoniously let go at KLKN-TV after nearly a decade at the station. It's actually made news across the state (even in the Omaha newspaper). Nebraska viewers can be very loyal to their favorite news talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
