Outside the Box

Howdy. WTXL can be a great station - and will eventually get there.

While I was less than excited about the studio's move to Gadsden County,

the station certainly needed a new base of operation. My lack of excitement

had more to do with personal reasons - than anything really legit.

The transition period at WFSU was pretty tense/intense. New managers

and tight little spaces (no home turf at all) frayed a lot of relationships. I

think Richelle was trying really hard, but it came down to having no experience

in the market - and a fairly abrasive personality. Those things can really make it

difficult to effectively lead in a newsroom.

I don't know Rex - but the Laurens and Anita are actually very strong

news gatherers. James Jackson was a very good reporter and I expect to

see more from him down the line.

I'll write more later, and possibly I.D. myself... but for now, I'm signning off,
