In Reply To: I think management made it pretty clear... if this isn't what you signed up for, then there's no dishonor in leaving... Of course it's always easier to bellyache on Vault... Personally, I think it's a pretty exciting time at KRON. There's the real chance to do television differently. Again as one of the managers put it yesterday, it depends on how you define "quality". If you mean doing "clean", perfect television, then this won't be it. If you mean the opportunity to deploy 30 crews across the bay area, if you mean the chance to showcase real people, real communities, real stories other than the grind of the same five stories, if you mean recognizing that your career path will be different than that of people in this industry 30 years ago and you had better damn well adapt, I think this has a chance to be quality television. Either way, it will be fun to try something new, won't it?
Message: ...but that sounds like a BS rationalization to me. You're trying to justify KRON's predicament and make it sound like an opportunity. I suppose it would be an opportunity....in a Top 200 Market. But this isn't a Top 200 Market. And viewers are going to notice the drop off in presentation and quality.
