Some people say that humans' attention spans are short, but the fact that people are still mad at Tom Brady for "Deflategate" three years after the AFC Championship game in which the incident happened - and this employee was willing to do express his opinion in a way that got him/her fired - more or less proves otherwise. When you do something even potentially shady, people have an elephant's memory of that. Edited January 30, 2019 by T.L. Hughes

I've probably done worse things on the air, but all of it happened before Twitter existed. 1

Oh you said it! This stuff always happened...just now it's so much easier to get caught and busted because there is instant proof of said "mis-deeds". You just can't have ANY fun anymore.

Social Media is Social Justice Warrior for everything. Had that gaffe happened as deflate-gate just developed, at best he would've been suspended, not fired. Put the employer at a poor light? What standards? How extreme. The employer had to cover their asses when it flamed on social media, get real. The peeps in freakin' Steeler Country are laughing their asses off, not embarrassed. Let's face it, It ISN'T that far off from the truth. I was gonna say it reminded me of KTVU "Ho lee fuk" gaffe, but...i digress. *jets fan here*-editor's note Edited January 31, 2019 by justin2kx 2
newsbot 271 Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 I suspect that if KDKA wasn't a CBS O&O the producer might have gotten off with a suspension.

MikePulse 319 Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 You remember that commercial shoot I mentioned at WKMG? Where I met everyone? They're chunking up a good amount of promotional blitz for it. If you take a look at their youtube, you'll get to see some of the people News 6 'got results' for. They'll be featured on Sunday's ad, and the ads going forward. And here's the behind the scenes stuff. [that one features me. I'm the one holding the phone recording Troy and Lisa recalling a story about his new car.] 1

TheRolyPoly 2649 Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 KCDO (K3 Sterling - Denver) has just started to repeat some of KMGH's newscasts, most notable the weekday 6:00 (at 9:00 a.m.), 11:00 a.m. (at 1:00 p.m.), one of the weekend morning hours (10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. Saturdays and 10:00-11:00 a.m. Sundays), weekend 5:00 p.m. (at 7:00 p.m.) and nightly 10:00 p.m. (at 11:00 p.m.).

Something tells me that Scripps is seriously looking at forming a duopoly in Denver with KMGH and KCDO
Asomrjsurf 6 Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Also looks like WDAF filled Anchor position to.
