Crossing the Street

While many Scripps employees are getting whacked or just leaving, one Tegna employee is crossing the street to work at Scripps.

Michael Wooten signed off from Tegna’s WGRZ back in late August. Wooten declined a new contract from WGRZ and is now resurfacing at Scripps-owned WKBW.

Wooten joins the Scripps station as a Senior Reporter and moderator of a 're-imagined' 5:30 newscast.

Scripps continues to do away with the anchor roles and fill those positions with “Senior Reporters.”
