to George Putnam, who was not the brightest bulb in the business. Hal had to bail him out for years, and I think that once he got the anchor seat, he was determined not to lose an inch to anyone, ever. Yes, I worked with him. I think he liked me, and thus I was hired, but the rundown always read, "Hal, Hal, Hal, girl, girl, Hal, Hal during just about every segment, no matter who anchored with him. He also always had to have the last word, even when it was a bit lame. Jeff Wald has always been a nothing, Hal puppet. The placed has always been weird, never a 'real' newsroom in the way other top two newsrooms are. It was a great break for me, but I would have been committed by now if I'd stayed. |

Along with half of the on air talent, getting rid of news management may be the only way this station can improve.I've been told they sit in their offices with doors closed and lights off.
