We got this email from an insider at The Firm’s WOFL in Orlando.

A lot of frustration from the morning team towards management. During Hurricane Milton, (News Director) Melissa Medalie required staff to sleep in the building, but only provided a nutritional meal for dayside and nightside staff. The morning crew was given stale bagels. Medalie promised the team a breakfast the next week, but failed to provide any food to the morning team until almost two weeks later.

Fast forward to the election, and once again the morning team got screwed. Medalie provided pizza, pasta, salad and more to the dayside and nightside crews. The morning team was given the scraps, which was basically nothing.

The morning folks are always the forgotten people in TV news. Morning newsers work the worst schedule, have a much smaller staff to fill a lot of news time and the bosses forget that.

It’s amazing what a couple of boxes of donuts could do for morale, but the management doesn’t care.

If someone who works at WOFL in the morning wants to buy 2 or 3 dozen donuts for the newsroom, send me the receipt, and I’ll reimburse you.

I would buy the donuts myself and bring them by, but I think Fox O&O boss Jack Abernethy would have me shot on sight.

Someone needs to watch out for you guys.
