James Munoz
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Many of the young female reporters were allowed to show up to work when ever they felt like it. Never put in any effort. And were able to leave the station half way through their contract. Don Brubaker is one of the news anchors, he used to be the stations sports director. He is the most ungrateful, self-obsessed human being I have ever met.

Amie Hudspeth
She is racist towards white people. She doesn’t train anyone, yells at/calls workers stupid and to “pull your head out of your a**.” Everything done in the newsroom is inspite of her. No leadership abilities or good news judgment.
Racial Discrimination, An Overall Toxic Work Environment
At least 3 white employees quit while I was there due to treatment from Amie Hudspeth. Other employees also quit because they were over-worked and not given pay for overtime. Amie will comment on talent/reporters appearance to the extent of asking them if they are pregnant and telling them to “maybe get something to hold all that in.” One employee worked 100 hours over 2 weeks without being granted overtime pay.
If you want to learn to become a better journalist, DO NOT COME HERE. Newscenter 25 (KAVU) is where dreams go to die. There is also a bat infestation that shut down the studio for almost a week to clean the air, because talent was getting rashes and irritated throats/eyes.
Amie Hudspeth
An utter nightmare. No leadership or organizational skills. No productive criticism. Yeller, screamer with no purpose. Really has no newsroom skills and tries to cover through a berating and condescending attitude. A fourth grader would be an upgrade.
Sexual Discrimination, Racial Discrimination, An Overall Toxic Work Environment
If I were a minority or female, I might’ve had a chance, but the black female news director has a serious chip on her shoulder regarding white men.
The GM has no desire to change things. First-timers beware. Don’t just jump at the first opportunity. Do research.

Sexual Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, An Overall Toxic Work Environment
The ND is very aggressive and even tried to physically fight another employee.
Located in a wonderful city and the GM is a nice guy and the production manager is amazing. Lots of individuals usually break their contracts.
