Back on TV.....Sort Of

Back in December of 2022, FTVLive told you that WDIV (Detroit) had kicked morning host Jason Carr to the curb.

Word was that Carr was sacked after he criticized his co-workers during a segment on the show.

Carr had been with the station since 2016.

Well, Carr has returned to the anchor desk, sort of. He has launched a show on Facebook that he described as "completely self-sufficient." On his FB show he said, "I'm your host. I'm your producer. I'm your carpenter. I'm your artist. I'm your writer. I'm your useless fount of information, or fount of useless and trivial information."

The first episode of Carr's streaming show, recorded from his home, was interrupted by a technical glitch and then restarted.

During the roughly 30-minute stream, he thanked his presenting sponsor, Ven Johnson Law, for getting him back on the air, along with other sponsors. He kept the show light and upbeat, reading messages from those watching and talking about his family's dogs, among other topics.

Carr indicated he'll be doing the show live around 9 a.m. weekdays, but that he is still in the process of fine-tuning the format.

Early on, he mentioned that it had been almost three months since he had spoken "to you good people." Said Carr, "Thank you so much for sticking with me, for all the positive comments and all the well wishes."
