Darrel Lieze-Adams
He is fair, honest, has great new judgement and will fight for his employees
This station is one of the few I know left that do not make you anchor/produce or wear multiple hats. If you are a reporter, you are a reporter. If you are an anchor, you are an anchor.
The station does have the most newscasts in Southwest Florida. You will be getting plenty of experience going live. You have to be prepared to hit the ground running. If you aren't prepared or up for a challenge you will not have a pleasant experience. Management is more than willing to work with you, if you are willing to work with them.

If you’re one of the favorites, life is not terrible. But the expectations of everyone are very very high.
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Management tried to foster teamwork by fostering competition. It was not healthy. There was no consideration for personal lives… Working there was seen by management as a privilege, not a mutually-beneficial relationship.

Bad
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
He has horrible news judgement. Unless you're gay or a kiss ass you'll get treated poorly. He's never around anyway.......his minions are just as bad.
Be prepared to turn at least 2 pkgs a day. If you have no experience anchoring this is the perfect place for you. Its only a matter of time before reporters shoot their own live shots.

unless you're gay or a kiss ass it sucks
Be prepared to shoot your own stuff.You'll be expected to turn stuff for the 4, 5, 6-sometimes two pkgs a day. Live for the sake of live. Its a very clique-ish place much like high school. Poor news judgement. Very consultant driven.
