Topic Name: KOIN - Salamone is gone!
Message Name: I don;t know Dan..

In Reply To: Interesting that the person who admits to judging Dan based on one comment at his FIRST KOIN staff meeting, goes on to whine about being pre-judged by Dan. Focusing on the 11 pm is a proven strategy to take advantage of prime-time audience gains by CBS. The CBS evening news on the other hand is not helping its lead-in or out right now. Dan is a fair, hard-working manager who never got a fair shake from the entrenched problem children at KOIN.
Message: Never worked for him...never met the guy. All I know--as an employee at "brand-X"-- is that KOIN's news product has become damn-near unwatchable. I tried to give it a chance a few times not too long ago, but it was horrible. Bad anchoring, writing,look, feel,graphics... and while none of those items are Dan himself --the person-- the guy who oversees all those things needs to take responsibility...and hence, I guess in this case, take the fall too.
