Station market rank#2
Lauren Weppler and Anthony Knopps
Anthony was a nice enough guy, but was somewhat lazy in dealing with issues, and would often pass duties on to Lauren
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
Newsroom is filled with gossip, backbiting, and selfishness. Extremely rude, aggressive, and crass producers—one particular producer refuses to ever be wrong or admit to it, and was often known to complain or send management emails about people she felt “wronged” her, even though she did most of the provoking. Very “clique-oriented” newsroom. EP would often chase breaking news with questionable judgment (vacant house fires, single-car crashes, grab-and-go gas station thefts). Snotty female anchor with ego issues, who loved shaming people over group emails.
Not a good market in general. Toledo is gloomy, dangerous, and cold. You’ll be greeted to an even icier newsroom if you choose to work here.

Anthony Knopps
Did not work under current ND. Leadership is constantly changing at the station due to low ratings
An Overall Toxic Work Environment
I’ve never worked for a station with so much turn over. The majority of people there are unhappy and leave fast. Management is terrible, all reporters are MMJs who are overworked, and tanking ratings are constantly blamed on talent instead of poor leadership from management. You do NOT want to work here.
