Insiders at Gray’s WWBT (Richmond) tell FTVLive that a number of suits and sales folks from the station are winning and dining top advertisers in Germany!

I have never understood these client trips that has been a practice in many TV stations for decades. If you have a good product, the client should be willing to spend money on that. Does taking them on an expenses paid trip really do anything?

While, I was never really a fan of these when I worked in TV newsrooms, I think I would be even a bit more suspect, given the fact that we are still in a global pandemic.

While I’m sure that Gray made sure that each person was vaccinated, there still have been a number of break-though cases and some vaccines are shown to lose some effectiveness over time.

I really hope that all these employees of WWBT quarantine on their return back to the states.

It is only fair to the people still working at the station and didn’t go on the fancy trip.

Just saying…..
