This gives the station the opportunity to hire a young, perky, female or male counterparte to compete with the band of young and incompetent reporters trying to ddelvier the news at WHDH. Why is it that a mature looking and soundng reporter, maybe with a bit of well trimed facial hair, can’t succed in the Boston market. Lets not forget Charlie Gibson who is surpassing the other anchors toward a rating high, or Chuck Todd, the new NBC News White House reporter with gotee. In stead, we have a cast of soap opera lookalikes who act more like celebrities than news houds flodding the local airways. Enough. Real quality and experience equals value to the viewer.

I don’t know why but I never felt like he fit at the station, Nothing to do with him as a journalist though. This is a sad loss, I wonder how many more people will be laid off.

Just came across the site… great information, though sad to see another reporter laid off. I’ll post a link on my site and add you to my local tv blogroll.

Sorry to hear the news. I always liked his work.

Michael, was this a money thing as to why he was let go? Since I am not in the business, I am just curious how the bosses come up with these decisions.
