More on KFXO Firings

Submitted by LynnS on Sat, 06/23/2007 - 7:54pm.

If you're wondering why so many of the KFXO postings sound so bitter, here's a possible reason, from a source emailing the OMI Anchor Desk:

They were all called in at 3pm Friday and the entire newsroom was fired at once. Then the employees walked out the door. Pretty brutal eh?

KTVZ will start doing the 10pm news on Monday night.

Sweet.

KTVZ took over 10pm news Friday night-they barely waited until KFXO'ers could empty their desks.... "Newschannel 21 on FOX".

I wouldn't have expected this from my experience at the KTVZ. It's a bummer to hear that's how it ended up. I know a lot of this stuff was kept 'hush, hush' while I was there, but still, I enjoyed working for NPG when I did. I was looking forward to a positive outcome had a better job opportunity not opened up in Seattle.

I hope the turmoil at KFXO wasn't a contributing factor to this. ;-)

The "finace'" might've detected an ulterior motive in his bride-to-be.
