Station's Ratings
News Dirctors
The current news director is good. News share - producers and anchors work out of South Bend but reporters, photogs, and everyone else is in Toledo. The newsroom environment in Toledo is overall exciting & not toxic.
At times, things are unorganized but overall it’s not a bad place to work.

An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Although WNWO is a Toledo station, it's news is broadcast from South Bend (WSBT) . Leading to a disconnect with reporters/photogs (Toledoans) and anchors/producers (South Bend crew). Not only that but the anchors were given pretty much all control, basically acting as news directors. There was no "teamwork". A former news manager told my reporters racist, sexist, and anti-semitic things on the Toledo side, I was told I could not report it because they did not happen to me. On the South Bend side, WSBT seemed like a great station to work for.
It's a newshare, operated out of South Bend. It leads to power struggles between the 2 stations in completely different states and markets. They also operate another newshare for a Pennsylvania station. They are all not great in the market and will never be given full attention.
