Horrendous. The worst leader you could ever have in a professional setting.
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
The men and women in management positions are the most duplicitous, disingenuous group of people I have ever seen of or heard of. The station pays you like crap, treats you like crap and will do absolutely anything to gain leverage on you, no matter how long you’ve been there. I wouldn’t wish having to work at WNKY on my worst enemy.

Management has no idea how to run a newsroom.
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
The newsroom is constantly short staffed. Management has no clue how news actually works. The GM is a sales lady & will convince you it’s wonderful, beware ITS NOT! You can have a doctors note and they will still ask you to come in. You may have vacation days, but good luck getting it approved. Many times you are stuck driving your personal vehicle. “Volunteer“ events are mandatory & happen every weekend. You will not have a photog. You will be asked to do a minimum of a pkg & 2 vosots per day. You shoot, edit, write, front the pkg, and post all content to the web yourself. Management is very unprofessional & talks poorly about their staff to other staff members. DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT HERE. You will be overworked & underpaid. This is where news dreams go to die. They fire staff constantly, it’s a rotating door. Please do yourself a favor & avoid this place.
DO NOT WORK HERE.
