Greggo 361 Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 So they essentially demoted Justin for someone who, while very accomplished, is a WSB newbie. That’s atypical for them. They usually groom folks for years and promote from within. I guess it’s possible Justin wanted it, but it seems like he would’ve announced he was stepping back to spend more time with family or whatever if that was the case. 1 1
MorningNews 1528 Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 I’m curious about this as well. Does anyone have BTS details on this change?

I gather this was what Justin wanted, in order to spend his evenings with his family, per replies on Jovita's post.
rkolsen 1693 Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 From a friend on Instagram.... WBTS and WNEU will undergo another branding when they move into the new Boston Media Center. They apparently got some gear that just has the Peacock and the big T logo.

I’m not sure it was a post to a WNBC employee who liked the an NBC/Telemundo beanie style hat. The photojournalist said they just got new ones for another rebrand with their move.

MorningNews 1528 Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Saw this one coming honestly. They demoted her to weekend evenings either right before or after she began maternity leave.

Nelson R. 569 Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Brigida Mack, formerly of WBTV, just announced she is jumping to rival WJZY. She will soon be working for Nexstar. https://twitter.com/brigidamack/status/1215728675108413440?s=21 She’s the second former WBTV employee to jump to a rival in the past several months, the first being Ashley Strohlein to WCNC Edited January 10, 2020 by Nelson R.
Greggo 361 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Longtime WSB chopper pilot Jason Durden posted on Twitter that he’s no longer with the station. Pretty abrupt. Last time in the air was apparently last week. Sister stations WJAX and WFOX grounded their chopper. Surely the mighty WSB wouldn’t have gone that route, too. Or would they?
east-tx-tv 121 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Brian James, a KXAS meteorologist, has accepted a meteorological position with Tenet Healthcare. His last day at KXAS will be January 22.

They needed a big name veteran talent like Brigida Mack and they got it. 2

That's probably what happened now that WSB is owned by a hedge fund, which are always looking to cut costs whenever possible.

qunewsguy 378 Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 That's going to be interesting to see what they do considering WHCT doesn't even have must-carry status anymore.
Nelson R. 569 Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 WBTV’s Molly Grantham just announced on the 11:00 news she is expecting baby #3 in July! She told her kids last night. Good for them.
