A few days ago, FTVLive pointed out what appeared to be a lack on Diversity at Nexstar’s WANE in Ft. Wayne. Indiana.

Back in November of 2020, WANE had 4 people on-air that people of color. Now, looking at the station’s “meet the team” page, Briana Brownlee is the only POC that I see in the station’s Anchor and Reporter ranks.

Now, sources tell FTVLive that one of the station’s only Black News Producers is also leaving the station next week. The Producer just joined the station in December.

“There is a lot going on this station, that viewers can’t see. It’s sad,” said one station insider to FTVLive.

I would hope that the corporate suits at Nexstar might step in, see what’s going on at WANE, and hopefully work on the station’s diversity issues.

Just saying….
