   marbles is so right – the bulk of the work is done by photographers and reporters – the producers there are the worst – barely able to handle one 30 min. show and there is too much managment who sits around playing on the computer all day

   Lets be real honest here, the people that work the hardest for WLOS get paid the least. The primary anchors DO GET PAID ALOT. If a face is worth a couple hundred thousand dollars in this economy, then it only proves that you won the beauty contest in college. When some at WLOS look back at their career, what have they done? I truely feel sorry for people that work so hard while others JUST SIT THERE! Manager must not have the balls to fire the people that GET PAID TO READ or try to READ!

   Most technical/production staff just barely make $20k per year. Pathetic.

   Hell, I’d be bored too if I got this crap assignment – reporting on "green" jobs. Green, green, green – everybody with a non-profit to finance is jabbering about green, but where are any tangible results or benefits? There ought to be enough wind generated from all the talking to end our oil dependence tomorrow.

   lay off of courtney – she’s a good kid that who has to come in at 4 – she was probably a little tired.
   i’ll also remind you that in the past few weeks wlos has broken some great stories.

   You people would be shocked to know how little tv news reporters and anchors at stations like WLOS are paid.

   The Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville market is not NYC and the pathetic salaries for talent and technical definitely reflect that fact. It’s paycheck to paycheck for most all. Even the main anchors do not make huge salaries and there is very little job security.

   For the past years, in most cases, contract renewals for talent are requiring staff to take cuts, not increases.

   Did any media outlet report on this with anything more than a soundbyte/ brief article? I saw a brief clip on WLOS and a blurb in the AC-T. And that was it. Grrrrr

   we usually just take a thesaurus to the press release, change two or three adjectives (to dumb it down to a 3rd grade level), stick twenty seconds of wallpaper video to it, add a misspelled graphic to the lower third of the screen, and pay someone six figures to stutter their way through it…

   if the world is a mess, i can always take solace in the fact my hair is always perfect…

    Her makeup looks great, though. I wish she’d blog about what she uses…
