We'll see how that plays in the newsroom.

  1. Say WHAT?!? Ok, I may understand BB out, but putting in TW as GM after the Ishimaru debacle makes NO sense. BTW, does this move have to do with Wendy McMahon being promoted to Prez O&O's from ABC LA?

  2. Tracey W is top talent, other opinions are those of haters.

    1. Yes, Ms. Trixie is on top. Hands down the most despised manager in SF Newsroom history. Just ask.

  3. Would really like to see law & order come to the news room, if Tracey can do it great.

    1. What "crimes" (besides Trixie bullying rank-and-file workers) are being committed there now.

      When I worked there it was the happiest, most productive newsroom in the Bay Area (and I've worked at them all). They were also number one in many slots. Then they brought back Darth Moll and now the numbers are slipping and the morning show is a parody of a parody. So they promote her. Typical idiots.

  4. Only if Ashley and Finney are okay with this. Otherwise, this is beyond stupid because of her poor relations with staff.

  5. If getting promoted to corporate qualifies as "out" I would like to have Mr. Burton's problem 8 days a week.

  6. So I guess say goodbye to Natasha but still keep Reggie along with Jessica...they make a nice strong anchor desk in the morning!
