News Director and anchor? Executive Producer and anchor? Producer and anchor?
When are the Hispanic tv stations going to pay and respect their employees just like the counterparts in the same market?
Philly and Atlanta are big markets.
Do me a favor Spanish media professionals. Leave the industry and leave for the English speaking stations, so these Hispanic companies will finally respect us.
Couldn’t agree with you more.
Cruel reality is that all that, ain’t gonna change.
The Latino Brass will keep on nickel and diming every single talent and chance they can.
Say it louder for the back…
I hate the role regional news director, Raleigh as top 24 DMA does not need that nickel and dimming and splitting roles kit won’t be equal I’ll be one station gets more than the other.
