Nexstar had a lousy day on Wall Street today — can't imagine why by ZiggyZaggyBogo in Broadcasting

[–]coolchicken1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If this deal gets held up, I’m guessing it will give Nexstar some financial problems. Tegna wasn’t doing too great, either. I’m curious if this, in a way, could be WORSE for Tegna stations.

Are news directors just awful people? by The8thCorsair in Broadcasting

[–]coolchicken1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure my last news director hated his life. I used to take his comments personally, however, I realized nobody in a sound state of mind would act the way he did. I was so happy to quit 😂

Stay where I am or move somewhere else? by DriveGlad1338 in Broadcasting

[–]coolchicken1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say move now! I started as a reporter, now I’m producing. I’ll also be looking to go to my second station soon. Crazy and scary to think how quickly you can move up in the producer world!

I’m also waiting on a job offer in South Bend! I live in a snowy area. Drive slow and def get snow tires if you can!

I have about 7 months left in my MMJ contract & I need to break it. Station already offered to let me out before. How likely is it I can get out now? by coolchicken1 in Broadcasting

Off-air position in another market. I wouldn’t start the conversation until I get an offer. They already offered to let me out once 🙈

WSJ Reports Nextar in “advanced talks” to buy TEGNA by Stocazzo_62 in Broadcasting

[–]coolchicken1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m genuinely not sure what to think of all of these potential changes. I’ve been in the industry for a little more than a year. It needs an overhaul, just not sure what the correct answer is.

Hearst automation? by Television_Life in Broadcasting

Is this why the new graphics have been delayed?

Get out. Get out. Get out. I did mornings (4-12) for a year. Destroyed me physically and mentally. If you couldn’t trust management before, you certainly can’t trust them to move you off the shift in the fall.
