Gail, I was surprised not to see anything from you on Fuller’s unceremonious dumping by Ch 5, along with others, including execs, and the bottom of the barrel morale there now.

What does this mean for Dave Murray?

Yes, if Fuller was fired along with others at KSDK, I have not seen this reported. Did I miss some coverage? The 2/11 changes were covered.

Nope. He’s not that good, and his on camera presence is nil. When he speaks, he trips over his words. It often sounds like he’s got a disassociation with the ideas in his head (or from the teleprompter) and what he wants to say.
He’s the one person I disliked the most at channel 5.
Now, get to work on booting Rene Knott!

I had to vote “Could be” because there’s a lot I like on at 7, but I would definitely watch him if it was convenient. I initially didn’t really like him due to his initial awkwardness, but he grew on me, and his slight goofiness became endearing. Seems like a very nice guy, too. I think 5 gave him a raw deal and am very glad he found a better local gig.

M, Rene will be around for a while yet. He was hired to preempt a discrimination lawsuit from Malcolm Briggs when he was fired.

I am so glad to hear this!! I will be watching CW 11 news from now on!! I have not watched Channel 5 news since John left. What a bunch of fools over at KSDK. I hope Deanne switches to a new network before they try to screw her over as well. I am still upset about the whole Briggs situation, and when they made Cindy chief over John. I am happy for John that he finally got out of that place.

Will miss John Fuller. Channel 11 is lucky to get him. I hope he is happier. Nothing is worse than working where you are not appreciated. Good luck John
