GoldenShine9 1508 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 2 hours ago, Ntropolis said: Vicki Gardner, the lone survivor of the 2015 shooting that happened live on-air while being interviewed by WDBJ, is suing the station. The $6 million lawsuit claims the station was negligent in hiring Vester Flanagan, the shooter. https://www.roanoke.com/news/crime/gardner-shot-and-injured-in-attack-at-bridgewater-plaza-sues/article_959a802e-fe18-57f9-a3e0-c8dcd1240ddb.html Gray Television was initially named as a defendant, but was nonsuited since they purchased WDBJ several months after the attack. I can't see how it will go anywhere, especially since ownership changed in between. The company that hired him no longer exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sending my condolences to Glynn, Nancy's family, friends and colleagues. Even though FOX 8 didn’t announce it on-air until 7:00p, you can sense the sadness at the end of the 5:00p newscast... It’s so sad to hear about this. 664DA035-0D60-4308-8CF7-62E52350AC39.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say how proud I am of her for surviving, and her departure is sad because I feel she really captured the hearts of the Hampton Roads. Good Luck with her future endeavors. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of back and forth between WTVN/WSYX and WBNS over the years, going back to the 1960's even with Gene D'Angelo as VP (from WTVN to WBNS). Sally Flowers and Gene Fullen first developed a following on WBNS Radio (originally a bandleader from Kansas, I think) and Gene Fullen was WTVN-TV's go-to personality for the longest time until he died from heart problems. Also ... Carol Costello, Janet Watkins, Lou Forrest, Tom Ryan ... and others. Now Tony D'Angelo is in charge of WSYX. I always wondered if the Tafts and the Wolfes were buddies since they were both in the same business and both traveled in Republican circles. These historical connections are meaningless, I know. Just interesting to me. Edited August 22, 2019 by DirtyHarry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh stop with the snatch & grabs Kendrick in his early 50s. He probably looking at a few more years before he goes into retirement. I hope and wish they could lure Jeff Hogan back from North Carolina, because Pete eh always been a bore and so is Scott Light.

Of course WGCL in Atlanta. Scott does weekends, and he definitely should do weekends. Hogan, would be ideal!

Not that I know him, but he once smiled and said hi to me on campus as we were about to bump into each other for no reason. So my impression of Jeff is that he's a nice guy! I don't know if I like him as evening anchor, though.
