Finally!!!!!

FTVLive has posted a number of stories on KVOA Reporter Austin Walker.

He dissed his own station for not giving him a bigger Christmas bonus after working there just 6 months. He ignored CDC guidelines.

He posted a video taking on FTVLive.

Walker also tried to bribe FTVLive into taking down a story about him.

He was also named one of FTVLive’s Worst People in TV News for 2020. In that story, FTVLive wrote, “Many wonder how KVOA continues to employ Walker and there are even those high up in Quincy that are asking the same question?”

Well, it appears that Austin Walker’s job at KVOA is over just 9 months after it started.

This is the internal email sent out to the staff at KVOA this week and obtained by FTVLive:

Walker had basically gone silent on Twitter (both his account and a second account he ran not so secretly) posting only twice since mid-January.

A lot of people that work in TV news get fired from their job for one reason or another. They often bounce back with a new job and do great things in this business.

I have done stories on some of these people and while they have screwed up, they learn from their screwups and turn out to be solid Journalists.

That being said, I’m not sure that this business is not better off without people like Austin Walker in it. Some people are cut out for TV news and some are not. I think Austin Walker falls into that second category.

Hopefully, he finds a good job in PR or some other field besides TV news.

Just saying….
