I worked with a news anchor who battled an alcohol addiction. It's not just about someone having too much fun and getting carried away, there sometimes are much deeper issues we don't know about. My co-workers and I tried to build up a strong support network around her, but she still ended up losing her job and eventually her life due to this addiction. When we're talking about on air talent on this website, I don't think it's a lot to ask that you try to have some kind of respect for the person - as we have no idea what they were going through when they made the decisions they did.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I give you the BEST of South Florida television history. The premiere of WSVN Newsplex, debut on April 27, 1994.

In that case, I will ask you, TVNewsLover, what are the chances of Colleen Campbell moving to a bigger market than where she is at now (WDTV in Clarksburg, WV) in a few years? Would that viral video from 3 years ago still be a factor in her possibly going to a bigger market, if she decides to??? That infamous quote from her on the CBS Morning News in the mid-‘80s is NOT how Phyllis George would want to be remembered.....

Wow, way to go! Taking joy in someone else’s misery. Was it the right thing? A good employer would’ve tried to get them the right help. Yeah, good luck getting an answer to that question. He rarely responds. Thank you, finally a voice of reason.

From Robin Swoboda:

Case in point: Former WAGA & WGCL anchor Amanda Davis.

I hated that damn era for so many reasons.

Let us not forget the forgettable conference room

AMEN.

You can say this about most news studios you see on TV.

Good. She had a good secure job in a top market and all she had to do is not drink and drive and she couldn't even do that. What a dumbass. I have no sympathy for her
