...yes, the station sucks big time. Think info-mercial look meets plastic plants in the background with dustmites. Family owned, inherited to man who could care less what his father built up...BUT! You learn it all. I produced, reported, anchored, the whole *11* yards. It's what you make of it. My boss was a good one, he's moved to another station though. Good luck, do your job, look for creative angles, it's your foot in the door. |

It is what you make of it...I never said I didn't learn a lot there and it has helped me get where I am today, BUT don't expect that where you are will determine where you go from there.
It takes a lot of hard work and a tough skin to make a jump. I know people who have moved to much bigger markets from there and I know people who have taken steps back. Mhilk2 is wrong to say that by starting there (or any small market) you can make a jump to a medium market. That depends on YOU and how you take advantage of the situation and learn. Don't depend on other people to help you out. Just take it as a learning experience.
Trust me when I say the look and product are absolutely horrible. If the wind blows the wrong way...you get knocked off the air. Serve your time and get out ASAP...
