One GM, Two Stations

A week ago, FTVLive told you that Sinclair had parted ways with newly hired General Manager Micheal Lewis.

Lewis didn’t make it a year at KTUL, and now he’s already been replaced.

Sort of…

Instead of Sinclair hiring a new GM for KTUL, they have given KOKH (Oklahoma City) General Manager Amy Calvert another station.

She posted about it on LinkedIn:

I don’t know what Lewis was making, but I’m guessing that Calvert is not getting his full salary. Plus, Sinclair saves on benefits as well.

Calvert writes, “I hope this amazing community knows Channel 8's 70 year legacy is strong.” That is bullshit. Sinclair gutted KTUL and moved the production and anchoring of the newscasts to Oklahoma City.

Sinclair killed KTUL and the viewers didn’t deserve it.
