A High-Pressure 'Wattage' at KPIX; Staffers Unease with High-Profile Consumer Reporter; 'She Treats Us Like Shit!'

 Julie Watts is the Consumer Reporter at KPIX and a good one at that although there seems to be a ton of friction between Watts and staffers at PIX, just enough to warrant some significant heat from those who insist Watts is a "control freak", and that's just the beginning.

Says one veteran station source: "There's been a lot of tension between her and others, especially camera people--she's real tough--it's an ongoing issue."

My spies tell me the issues with Watts and Channel 5 is that she simply doesn't get along with what she considers underlings. "She treats us like shit, offered a source.


"It's reached a point where she's impossible to deal with and they, (presumably management), won't touch her. It's bad."


Attempts to reach Watts were unsuccessful.


Wonder if this issue will be TRENDING at 855 Battery Wednesday night.
