WREG

I came from a long contract in TX, where the station was (and continues) to go downhill. Coming to WREG has been a breath of fresh air! I have been challenged by other producers, management, and anchors/reporters to become a better producer. I'm so happy I have been able to work for WREG!

Creativity and strong personalities not welcome. Fall into line. As he has told employees, “I control your destiny.”

Ratings are an illusion. Now that Nexstar has taken over, just wait

An Overall Toxic Work Environment

Station morale is falling faster than the ratings (we're really #2 now at 5 & 6 despite the promos) and operates on a culture of fear. No one feels free to speak their mind. The upcoming takeover by new ownership is only making things worse around here. The ND prides himself on how many detailed "notes" he keeps on every employee and only likes you if you are one of his "yes" men or women. Although some people, especially anchors making big bucks, can be very good at pretending. He loves to bring up the Bible, but will stab people in the back and is very passive-aggressive. His #2 is clueless and always out the door by 6:20 and doesn't know how his desk is a joke. He only has his job because he never stands-up for the newsroom and has figured out how to brown-nose everyone above him - from the GM to consultants or corporate. Turnover is very high unless he traps you under a contract. He never gets out of his shell or reaches out to the community beyond his suburban bubble.

We all know we are only holding on because we have anchors who know the community and CBS is so strong.
