Shuffling Off in Buffalo

Today is the last day for WKBW (Buffalo) Anchor/Reporter Madison Carter at the Scripps station.

“It is with a mix of gratitude and sadness I announce that tomorrow, Friday, the 26th will be Madison Carter’s last day with us here at WKBW,” GM Marc Jaromin wrote in a memo to the staff.. “Madison will share her next opportunity at the appropriate time, but I wanted everyone to have a moment to wish her well.

Carter has not yet tipped her hand as to where she is headed next, but it is believed to be a much bigger market.

“Everyone is happy for me and I’m excited about the next step,” Carter said.

While Carter seems happy and station management is sad to see her go, back in January, Carter raised some eyebrows when she tweeted and later deleted this:

“I guess there’s a certain way people do things around here & I was told I can either be more like that or not have a job. So I’m still working... I just stopped running my mouth about things I think matter or need attention/change.”

She also ran afoul of the social media rules of the station and its owner, E.W. Scripps, by tweeting about controversial topics. That includes a tweet about the Capitol attack on Jan. 6 that has since been deleted.
