TV Management, Stop Doing This!
/KXXV/KRHD (Waco) Anchor Garrett Hottle posted that he produced the Scripps station’s 5 pm, 6 pm, and 10 pm newscasts. He also anchored the newscasts and did the weather for the newscasts.
While it is great that Hottle pulled it off and props to him for doing so, what the fuck?
Does this station only have a single employee in the news department?
It’s shit like this that is leading to burnout and people not wanting to work in TV news. Do you think Hottle was paid the salary of the 4 different jobs that he did?
Of course, he wasn’t.
Scripps management should be embarrassed that one person was required to do the job of 4 or 5 people.
This is not a knock against Garrett Hottle at all. But, this is a knock against the management team at KXXV/KRHD and the suits at Scripps.
Do better.
