Greggo 337 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 So they essentially demoted Justin for someone who, while very accomplished, is a WSB newbie. That’s atypical for them. They usually groom folks for years and promote from within. I guess it’s possible Justin wanted it, but it seems like he would’ve announced he was stepping back to spend more time with family or whatever if that was the case. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningNews 1282 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I’m curious about this as well. Does anyone have BTS details on this change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gather this was what Justin wanted, in order to spend his evenings with his family, per replies on Jovita's post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1675 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 From a friend on Instagram.... WBTS and WNEU will undergo another branding when they move into the new Boston Media Center. They apparently got some gear that just has the Peacock and the big T logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure it was a post to a WNBC employee who liked the an NBC/Telemundo beanie style hat. The photojournalist said they just got new ones for another rebrand with their move.

Nelson R. 555 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Brigida Mack, formerly of WBTV, just announced she is jumping to rival WJZY.

Greggo 337 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Longtime WSB chopper pilot Jason Durden posted on Twitter that he’s no longer with the station. Pretty abrupt. Last time in the air was apparently last week. Sister stations WJAX and WFOX grounded their chopper. Surely the mighty WSB wouldn’t have gone that route, too. Or would they?

That's probably what happened now that WSB is owned by a hedge fund, which are always looking to cut costs whenever possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
