CBS2HD 1 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Newsbyte2 reports that Brendan will leave for a job in Cincinnati. He gets an anchor position and reporting duties. I think this is a major blow to CBS2. Brendan is an excellent reporter. He will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuitSnob 19 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I don't understand why he would leave New York for a similar position in Cincinatti? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qunewsguy 376 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Well not everyone's dream job is in NYC. It's possible he got tired of the city and wants to do something new someplace smaller, not that Cincy is exactly tiny. It's also entirely possible that if the station he's leaving for wanted him bad enough he'll get paid better than he was at WCBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showdown 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Bottom line is that WCBS is a dump! They need to get a totally new building but they'll never spend the money for it. Besides, Brendan will have a much better quality of life in a small community like Cincy. I liked him and wish him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbs2idiots 21 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 What a loss. I will surely miss his creative style of reporting. I cant blame anyone who decides to leave WCBS at least their job is more secure. I hope he get to say goodbye on the air before he leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsman123 104 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 he was a reporter at WCBS. He will get to be an anchor in Cincy. Its a bigger position and probably pays more money. The station is stronger and quality of life will probably be better. Your priorities change when you get older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad 276 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Again who can blame them? I mean their job is basically instable and they can be let-go at anytime, so I don't blame him at all for the leave. Good Luck to Him! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewsMan 0 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 If you wanna see Brandon's First show at 5:30 tonight go to WCPO's website and you can see it live online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewsReporter25 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hey... I don't blame Brendan for leaving New York. I reported in Houston (radio market #6), but left because I didn't like working in major market, and now work in Fort Myers, FL which is in the mid 60s. It was a quality of life issue for me, and plus...family is close by. Any one of those reasons could be the reason why Brendan left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Newsbyte2, quoting Brendan: "When you have a baby, it changes everything in the world, and I've got that little six-month-old boy at home. When you look into those eyes, suddenly you decide that maybe going to Iraq every other year isn't necessarily the assignment. So that's why the decision was made."

TrfRptr 3 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I lived in Dayton for 4 years before coming to NY, I can tell you that Cincy isn't anything special...but yet, it would be a nice place to raise a family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewitness_news 5 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Brendan Keefe used to anchor at WFSB here in Connecticut before leaving to NY. Best of luck to Brendan in Cincinnati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrfRptr 3 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Snob, He's been anchoring in Cincy for a week already. He anchors the 5:30 show, and is lead reporter for th 11PM newscast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
