KARE 11 has been doing Sunrise six days a week for what feels like forever, yet has always been absent on Sunday mornings. Starting this weekend, they'll finally join that frame... 7-8am Sunday mornings.

Woah. Scripps continues to go to the gutter.

 

WEWS' longtime Chief has been fired. After 22 years, Mark Johnson is OUT.

Whoa -- haven't really seen any news outlets do a quick story like this... He really must've done something wrong for them to post something like this...

Meteorologist Colton Williams is heading north. As I previously mentioned he left KTUL at the end of April and was helping KJRH and still is until the end of the month, then he will be heading up I-35 to Wichita and joining the KAKE First Alert weather team and will start in June doing the 4pm newscasts Monday through Friday.

I'm sure something will come to light about Mark Johnson's firing, but it may be tied to him hawking merchandise on the side. 

This is scuttlebutt based on Reddit and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Makes me wonder what it would take to get James Spann canned.  He has enough of a following that would riot in the streets if anything happened to him.  But he is very good at explaining all sides of an issue, whether it's weather related or not, and does a good job trying to tow the line and/or staying neutral on controversial issues.

Good meteorologists often negotiate the leeway to market themselves outside of their news roles, especially if they have existing speaking or educational arrangements in place.  Whatever Mark Johnson may have done was probably out of line with his contract and Scripps exercised their right to terminate for cause.

Sheri Jones has retired from WLNS Lansing after a 37-year run.

 

The announcement was back in March, but last night's 6pm news was her last.
