Station's Ratings

Warren Stewart
He’s very picky. There is no wiggle room for learning or making mistakes as you learn. In life there will be hiccups. Some people learn slower than others, some need visuals, some need numbers. He’s not very patient to those with disabilities, and he cannot admit when he is wrong. He brushes his own mistakes under the rug just to give 44 a good face. It’s hypocritical when he’s not allowed to make mistakes. When he does it, it’s swept under the rug. He also mistreats his employees of color. So if you’re not white, RUN!

I’m not from Evansville and I’m from a bigger more robust city. I thought midwesterners were more polite and conservative but it turns out they are no worse than the catcallers in Miami. I’ve been asked inappropriate questions by one of the male reporters. When I made mistakes, I was heavily called out, but when someone else made a mistake it was swept under the rug, especially Warren’s own mistakes.
There is no wiggle room for your own creativity. If Warren doesn’t like it, it’s not going to be used. No matter how good or creative you may think, your own ideas will never matter. There is too much drama here. Mind you, there are adults in the 30s-60s here and instead of being an adult and focusing on the news, they are more concerned about gossip and slander against each other. The theme is “Focused on Family & the Community.” WHAT A BIG FAT LIE! The people inside can’t get along and they aint practicing what they preach! And if you’re not white, you’re not welcomed. You don’t need a common white person’s name, but if it don’t sound white, you’re never going to be in anyone’s favor here. You can’t be walking in here being a “Mrs.Katsuki Bakugou” or a Ms. Lakeesha Braxton.

Awful. We were warned before he arrived and it was much worse than we could have expected. Let’s just say, one year after he jumped on board, 20+ people have been fired, pushed out or simply walked because it’s so horrible.
Sexual Discrimination, An Overall Toxic Work Environment
The managers spend all of their time focusing on gossip, rumors, name calling, etc and not the real issues. Five years after launching, the station is circling the drain and it’s entirely the fault of Warren Stewart and Eric Stremming (station manager... what a joke) If I didn’t have ovaries, I may have stood a chance to be heard.
My coworkers were great. Management let a really good thing fall a part because they are too proud to admit they don’t know everything.

He is toxic. Changes his own rules to suit him. Creates drama.
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
The station overall gets along well together. We work together fantastically. But Warren likes to stir up drama because there is none otherwise. People have left because he runs people off with his attitude and intimidation tactics. The stress level in the news room is at a high level when he's there and a more productive level when he is not. He is trying to destroy the station from within. Apparently he has done this at previous stations. Our ratings are good but if he keeps on they will fall. Your opinion on news or what is news must be his or you are in the wrong. Constantly changing run downs, some times at the last minute. Criticizing choices of subject matter because it wasn't his idea nor giving someone a chance to defend their choices and if he does your choice will still be wrong. Causing people to fail at positions just so he can be right.
There is no chance for creative control. When ND is in, the environment is toxic and negative and unhealthy stress in the atmosphere. Nobody cares for him except general manager.
When ND is gone, the environment is much more positive, fun and things run more smoothly and there is much less stress in the atmosphere.
If this ND were to leave or be fired it would be the best thing for the station. Because it was the best station to be a part of prior to his arrival. I hope new owners see this and make the right decision so we can be the best station to work at again and keep our ratings soaring.

Okay. Not the best ND but not the worst. Understanding of situations and give reporters a lot of freedom.
Decent gig for someone straight out of college. Not the worst, but not the best. Very gossipy. Management doesn’t have much experience in their roles which can sometimes cause a problem.
