John Laughrin
I worked under a variety of management and the station greatly improved when the old news director left. John is far from perfect but an improvement on the hell that was David Lee.
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
In general it’s a fine place to get your start but that’s about it. They will work you like a dog, never say thank you, pay you shit because it is Nexstar and make you produce as a reporter despite that not being in your contract.

I’m not sure. There’s a lot of turn over.
Complete disregard for safety, employee respect, a news room fueled with Degrading comments towards women
Sexual Harassment, An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Male Reporters were treated differently by station management. Derogatory comments towards women at the station were acceptable by management. Female MMJs were held to ridiculous standards compared to their male counterparts. Female MMJs were also paid substantially less than their male counterparts.

M. DAVID LEE
ADVERSARIAL AND HORRENDOUS
Sexual Discrimination, Racial Discrimination, An Overall Toxic Work Environment
In the year M. David Lee has taken over, more than 13 employees have quit.. to include our Chief Photographer with 25 years of experience
DO NOT TAKE THIS JOB BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A JOB!!! WAIT IT OUT,YOU'LL GET SOMETHING BETER. ALL MMJ'S HAVE TO PRODUCE.. YOU CAN'T PUT TOGETHER A REEL IF YOU HAVE TO PRODUCE THE SAME DAY YOU REPORT!!!! GOT TO WBAY, FOX11, WKOW OR ANY STATION IN MADISON.. PICKING UP DECAYING DEAD DEER IN THE SUMMER ALONG THE INTERSTATE IS BETTER THAN WORKING AT WFRV.
David Lee
Verbally abusive, put me down, mocked me, degraded me bullied me, drove Good people out. Any pushback meant he didn’t like you and he wasn’t going to make your time there easy, disrespectful, didn’t know what he was talking about half the time when it came to stacking and producing shows, clearly targeted me and certain employees while purposely trying to clean house. It was a nightmare to be working for him. Had anxiety during shows waiting for an email he was going to send to talk down to me about. A lot more to say but you get the jist of it. He’s a horrible “leader” which is not what he deserves to be called at all. Did I mention the 30 plus jobs he’s had? Yup.
Sexual Discrimination, An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Look at the paragraph above about my boss.
Don’t work here. Underpaid people as well. They run on a skeleton crew to save a quick buck. People have three different position titles and don’t get paid extra.
