They won’t cut him unceremoniously or anything. 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/510/#findComment-297753 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
