Budget Cuts Have Shipp Sailing

After four years at Spectrum News Dallas, longtime media vet Brett Shipp has left the station.

Shipp posted this to social media.

Shipp has nearly 40 years in the business, including 22 years as an investigative reporter with WFAA.

He joined Spectrum News as an Anchor/Reporter in 2020. "I didn't want it to fall apart — I was having so much fun, it was the best job I ever had, because they let me be me and didn't try to put the reins on me," Shipp says. "I did documentaries, investigative pieces — I just busted Mike Miles' ass two months ago."

"But I was a number and they needed that number," he says.

Spectrum says they will not replace his position.
