Crazy Times in The Rocket City Broadcast News Arena

WOW so yesterday we, WAAY 31 had our general manager resign. (the owners said, basically, screw the 2 weeks peace out yo). Peter is moving to Illinois (2 markets up). I can't say that noone didn't see this. A new owner keeping the old GM? iffy at best.

Apparently WAFF 48 lost thier GM too (30 minutes before we did). I think I heard that he went to Memphis (don't quote me on that). Just a normal moving on up to the east side type deal there I suppose.

the only station to actualy gain a key figure is WHNT 19. They finally decided on a new News Director, I hear from Montgomery. So Nancy (the interim, from ATL?) can go back home. Probably means that the newsroom will take on a slightly different tone and a more stable atmosphere as far as that goes.

Honestly not much to say outside of that. We made up news today because there was nothing going on. Some report came in that the SWAT teams use of deadly force a month a ago was within guidlines. and it was hot...we rolled with that (5&6 and 10 repsectively)

I guess interesting is the fact that ... <_< ^_^ >_> (shhh) calkins media is spending the next couple days with us...new owners? It would be good for this station...they turned around a dying Sinclair in Florida and made it a winner...so there is hope!

That is all
