The Rona Hits Nexstar Station
Sources in Denver tell FTVLive that an Anchor on Nexstar’s KWGN Daybreak newscast tested positive for COVID-19.
Word is that the station told the co-anchor to stay home and self-quarantined. The co-anchor has tested negative for the virus.
But, insiders say that the Traffic Anchor and the Weather Anchor were not told to self-quarantined and were deemed “low risk” despite the fact that they shared the same studio.
Word is the two decided to get tested and sure enough they have the Rona.
“This is where I have a problem. Why wasn't the whole team quarantined and the studio completely cleaned?” said one station insider to FTVLive.
The insider adds, Our station is also the only one in the market operating at normal levels. Nobody is really working from home anymore except when MMJ's shoot look lives from home, and our photog and reporter teams switch daily. I know the other stations are keeping the same photog/reporter teams to minimize interactions.”
SMH….
