We Told You....

Back on March 31st, FTVLive told you about ABC News boss Kim Godwin swinging the ax at the network.

We wrote: “Some ABC staffers are wondering if Godwin used the cuts to people that she saw as a threat to her job.”

Well, this week, the NY Post picked up on our angle to the story.

The Post writes:

“Everyone says it was a score-settling and that it was badly handled,” one source said, explaining that people who had been at the company for over two decades were told to leave without any explanation.

“Somebody called it the ‘Red Wedding,'” the source added, referring to a bloody massacre scene from HBO’s hit show “Game of Thrones.”

Insiders say the decision was made by Godwin and confidants that included executive editor and senior vice president Stacia Philips Deshishku, executive vice president Derek Medina and Godwin’s right hand Jose Andino, vice president of process management. Andino followed Godwin from CBS News, where she had worked since 2007 before becoming the first black woman to lead a network news division in 2021.
