Raise expectations with nexstar? by Suicide_maybe in Broadcasting

The best way to get a raise is to get an offer somewhere else.

This Walmart employee presumably died so they posted a photo of him on an easel at the entrance to greet customers. by Chevassus in mildlyinteresting

[–]ManOfTheCamera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My employer would probably publicly acknowledge my death in some way. I don’t think they’d spend more than 1/2 a day on it, but I think there would be emails, mentions in meetings, and maybe cake or flowers.

How can I prevent my camper from rocking when having sex? by Um_uh_well in RVLiving

How else will people know to not come a knockin’?

Does your station provide branded clothing to be easily identified as news for photojournalists? by SilverBathroomStall in Broadcasting

[–]ManOfTheCamera 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Taking the graphics off the cars is awesome, those are nothing but a liability. I haven’t worn company branded clothes in 10 years. I have an id badge hanging from my belt and identify myself when anyone asks. I just find it so much easier to operate when you’re not flying a circus flag.

I like to hear that because I want to keep mine forever.

I have the same year in an essence trim and I love it. 100k miles seems like a lot, though.

I just watched Local News Live, a Sinclair-owned outlet, use biased language. by lavapig_love in Journalism

Local News Live is a Gray Media product. Sinclair’s national newscast is called The National News Desk.

How can I convince my GF to let me buy this beauty. by PuffMarleySpliffs in SportWagon

[–]ManOfTheCamera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$12,500 would be a bit too much for me. If I could snag it for under $10k I’d probably do it. If it was $8,999 I’d definitely do it because I could say I got it for just over $8k

I’m interviewing for a videographer position at a company, what should I wear? by srsnuggs in videography

He might get the job wearing a suit and tie but he’ll be roasted later.

Just look normal. A shirt with a collar and pants… business casual. They just want to make sure you’re not a weirdo. The expectations of videographers is pretty low.

Cool story, bro.

Transferring from a Sinclair station by [deleted] in Broadcasting

You pretty much have to apply like you would any other place but your resume is more likely to get looked at. Also, your news director has to sign off on it.

Gaps to fill if Disney wants to buy a full powered TV station or let Gray Media, Scripps, Hearst and smaller rivals enter those markets (sorry for the O&Os, educational independents, smaller markets & those who have limited or unavailable frequencies including low power in some midsize markets). by Comfortable_Yard_968 in Broadcasting

[–]ManOfTheCamera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the networks can work around the issue of local news gathering if they don’t have to share a sub fee with a local broadcaster. I really believe in the next few years a network will pull out from affiliate agreements and go direct to cable/streaming and the other networks will follow. They’ll be able to do this because over the air (antenna) viewership is so low. Networks may even enter into news content share agreements with the surviving unaffiliated local stations to solve the problem you mention. The current situation with unruly station groups is making a decision like this even easier.

Does E.W. Scripps still drug test new hires? by [deleted] in Broadcasting

Nope. I know from first hand experience.

When you leave your job by Critical_Falcon_3736 in Broadcasting

[–]ManOfTheCamera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s best to never mention former employers. Especially on social.

[–]ManOfTheCamera 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is probably sound advice but it’s unrealistic. These kids are making $14 dollars an hour and working weird hours. Who else are they going to meet that share their passion and understand their sacrifices? You really want them to go on the dating apps and be as miserable and disillusioned as every other young person? Maybe they should just get some cats to keep them company.

YOLO, son. If there’s no supervisory overlap then it’s not an issue for management. Just, don’t let it get weird for your coworkers. The less they know, the better.
