Kathy Reynolds
She hasn't been here long. Either shes busy cleaning up the horrendous mess left by the last one, or shes just as bad. Not sure yet
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Its just a miserable and toxic work environment. Our last News Director was absolutely horrible and luckily shes finally gone. Hoping our current one is able to clean up the mess and get everything back on track but so far in her first three months nothing has changed and I'm beginning to think shes just as useless.
If your expecting a healthy and fair work environment your coming to the wrong place. Favoritism is rampant first and foremost with zero regard to how well your perform your job. You can be the best and highest performing director on the team and you'll be kicked aside for someone who makes the same damn mistake day in and day out just because the boss likes them. Better be good as brown nosing and swallowing your dignity if you think your going to get anywhere here.

An Overall Toxic Work Environment
If you like covering city council and school board meetings look no further! This station has actually made me a worse photographer. My last couple weeks there I didn’t hit record one time. I came here thinking it would be a great place to work but, I was wrong.

Nicole Hogenson
Nicole was the cheap option when there was a news director position for Scripps to fill. She was inexperienced in upper management prior to becoming news director. She has trouble finding focus in morning meetings and story assignments. She has comprehension issues when checking scripts. She also shows favoritism to a few and beats down everyone else. She was by far the most toxic and incompetent news director I’ve ever worked for.
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Mostly great people at this station. Everyone bonds by commiserating management together. Toxic management and overwhelming workloads. Lots of overtime at this station, whether you’re up for it or not. MMJs turn multiple packages/VOSOTs for back to back shows, generally with multiple studio or newsroom hits daily. When paired with a photographer, two and sometimes even three packages are expected with live hits in multiple shows. It can feel like a sweat shop at times.
Many don’t last at this station. Management has driven a number of talented employees to break contract and get out of the business.
