ElliotJones 52 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Not to mention he's someone's hero... if you know who I'm talking about. "A big thank you" indeed. A struggle ensued, and Carey grabbed Yi's arms and tried to pull her through her car window, police said. Silver Lining: Maybe WFTS gets some decent management in there since this guy's outta here!

jestbiteme 13 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Silver Lining: Maybe WFTS gets some decent management in there since this guy's outta here![/b] I bet they'll let him back, this market is very forgiving when it comes to "personal issues" (eg Reg Roundtree's DUI, Andy Johnson's DUI/vase incident, etc) And not to mention Preston Rudie, but Preston Rudie. I hope they can the guy. WFTS needs decent management and this certainly isn't helping their image. Is this the red-headed stepchild of Scripps? Did they just forget about this station?

Well, WFTS is the laughing stock of the market. Like Jestbiteme said it's not helping their image at all. This is how everyone sees WFTS...

TSSZNews 1052 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Speaking as a red-headed stepchild for almost 2/3rds of my life now... What goes around, comes all the way back around.

I hope this means the fine administrator at FLNewsCenter will be able to provide WFTS videos and caps again. -T LOL! I also am a red-headed step child (fabulous satire I must say).... Thanks for your support! However...I don't think that Carey was totally to blame for the Scripps attack on my site. So, I doubt I'll put any more WFTS video back on FNC (however, someone has posted some gems on YouTube...with more to come from what I hear). I will however put the Carey story and his mug on the WFTS FNC page though and have also decided to put Tracey Connor's fantastic DUI arrest video on the WJHG page. What a great way to represent your station. :-* What do you think, to big?

Correction (sorry to say): It was Bud Carey who fired seven reporters and anchors from WCBS in 1996. Bill Carey was the WCBS news director from 1996 to 1999. Bud was dismissed in 1997 when WCBS ratings did not improve and was replaced by his boss at CBS, Jonathan Kilen.

So wait a minute.....you're telling me that: Bud Carey was GM until 1997, and Bill Carey was GM from 1996-1998. I did a Google search on those two names. My secret is to search one name at a time in quotation marks along with "WCBS". Klien was Bud's replacement in '97 while Bill was just the news director.

Sam Horn 78 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 My secret is to search one name at a time in quotation marks along with "WCBS". **My secret is move away from the mic to breathe in. Carl "Bud" Carey was GM of WCBS from April of 1992 to November of 1997. From a New York Times article about Bud's resignation dated 18 November 1997: Thirteen months ago, Mr. Carey dismissed seven veteran anchors and reporters, including Michele Marsh, John Johnson and Tony Guida, and embarked on a rebuilding plan. It produced improved ratings in the 7 A.M. and 5 P.M. news programs, but little growth elsewhere. Bill "The Bruiser" Carey was ND sometime very near or around Bud's departure. So our friend, NBC Niner, was correct. He just can't explain things plainly, it seems.

FirstNews8 13 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Sorry to bring up an older topic, and it seems no one posted this. But a month or two ago, Bill Carey was hired as the Manager and News Director here at WQAD. Quite a bit different than DMA 13. http://blogs.tampabay.com/media/2008/10/former-channel.html Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2034-wfts-gm-bill-carey-arrested/#findComment-44748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
