The news director was new and bent over backwards to coddle entitled Gen Z kids, leaving the few experienced journalists in the room to pick up the slack. She removed quality assignment editors, managers and producers from their positions. Do not trust this News Director for one second. She will switch up on you and throw you under the bus in a heartbeat.

The newsroom is full of talented, hard working journalist. There's no sense of just phoning it in or slapping it together, everyone works very hard to bring the best stories possible to air. This has got to be one of the strongest, most competitive markets in the 20's and if you're coming from a smaller market you'll notice the difference right away. There's room for career-minded producers and desk people to get hired, go to work, and benefit from working with some really top talent I have a tremendous amount of respect for the reporters I worked with; with class and tact they always chased sound, covered what is rather than what's thought to be, and then wrote a great script. I'm proud of my time there, wish I was there longer, and would immediately without hesitation accept another job, or a similar position, at WSMV or elsewhere.

During my tenure, WBTV had three news directors. One was demoted within Gray, the next was at the station for two years before being fired and the current news directors started a month before I left.
