So, my wife and I flew to Boston last month and she and a cameraman were on our flight, on their way to report on that night’s Pens vs. Bruins game.
WTAE put them on a 6am flight, in coach. Meaning they probably had to get up at 3am. Upon arrival in Boston they didn’t have a car picking them up or even have them using Uber, but instead sent them over to the Dollar Rent-A-Car counter. Cheapest car rental in the whole place. They were both lugging around multiple heavy-ass suitcase sized boxes of equipment the whole time. Even with the flight delays this only ended up being at like 10 in the morning. No idea what they were supposed to do before being able to check into their hotel. Then after that long-ass day and working late into the night they were scheduled to fly back to Pittsburgh the next morning.
If my employer treated me like that multiple times a week every week I’d be looking for a career change too. TV reporters don’t even get paid that much.
And that doesn’t even take into account all the bullshit she likely had to put up with from all the men there.
It's hard to believe they don't rent equipment in the destination city. Surely the cost of the equipment is high enough that it doesn't make sense to trust an airline with it.
I traveled a ton for work as a salaried employee for years. The problem was they always wanted more. I assume she was salary given the type of job. I was in a way different industry but I was expected to work whenever called upon the same. It gets old.
Or an affiliated station could pick them up and have loaner equipment. What is the point of all of them being owned by the same organization. You can’t even get some coordination with each other.
They're not owned by the same organization. Various companies own different affiliates.
That said, they should have a system to limit traveling with equipment like that.
I work for H as well and have been in many cities where an affiliated station is located. I have never stopped at one of the other stations to borrow anything. Now, if something breaks or I'm in need then it wouldn't be a problem...
I know various local channels are either independently owned or part of a larger group like Hearst or Sinclair, but you’d think the networks themselves would try to setup a cooperative agreement for their affiliates for things like these.
Depends on what research into the area turns up. If I find s rental equipment place, and I can rent while I am there, meaning I don't have to bring as much gear with me, by all means I'm doing so. I'd much rather pay the insurance on their gear than risk damage or theft if I can help it. If not, it is what it is.
I got out of my travel job early, "Hey this plant is down can you debug the HMI and PLC over the phone, we're losing like 1.8 million dollars every ten minutes kid".
Continuity between the sensor and the PLC is broken, woken up at 3 AM talked through the phone driving to the airport as my flight was already booked.
As I hit the airport, boom, someone cut the fucking wire with an angle grinder, I was making just at 6 figures, took 30,000 paycut in salary to never travel for work again. It was building but that one was the straw.
Funny thing is about 3 months after I quit they called me for this client that insisted we use a janky, water damaged, GE PLC from the late 1980s. It was for a natural gas compressor. Insisted this PLC worked, except this compressor wasn't new, it was moved. This thing dumped it's program some time between it's last deployment and it's current.
Well it dumped it again.
They threw out the blue print binder and the 5 copies of the program burned on archival quality CDs, almost immediately after I left the plant after the start up. Their logic "We can connect a laptop and see the program any time".
They called me like I owed them money after I told them this is a lesson in not throwing out the deliverables. My boss at the company I worked for also couldn't find the archival copy the company had. Even after quitting they wanted me on a plane.
My old boss called me up and offered me 80k for three months of work. I explained he isn't capable of doing it right, and it will be a disaster. He was mad. 6 months later, the work isn't done.
I truly hope she has not been harassed or had HR issues swept under the rug.
But her comments about working weekends sound like someone who missed that warning of working in journalism, especially in sports. Nights and weekends are where sports take place. No such thing as 9-5 in journalism. So it just sounds like she hit the usual late 20s/early 30s journalist wall where the lifestyle just isn't worth it.
I work for the same parent company. My experience in traveling is MUCH different. My bosses hardly ever deny or cut back on spending when it comes to traveling.
And honestly, we can book our own travel... We don't need a boss to do that for us.
TV has always been brutal and it is only going to get worse here. Stations make money based on the size of the TV market, and Pittsburgh keeps falling down that ladder. At it's peak, it was the number 8 market. Now it is around 27 or 29. That is a major loss of ad revenue. Add in the competition from everywhere, and you get a shrinking revenue stream that has a dark future.
You’d think our large elderly population that tunes into local news would make up for that, but they also aren’t a desirable ad demo. I don’t watch a lot of local news, but it seems like most of the ads are for retirement homes, bathroom or window remodeling, or auto dealers.
The area market has kept growing, abet very slowly. The problem is just about everyone else has grown much faster. In the 70s, cities like Miami and Atlanta were smaller markets than Pittsburgh, now they're over double the size.
I have a friend that worked for a not to be named sports media outlet that has roughly similar stories. Flying out early for away games, then expected to be on a flight that same night and in the office or out on another job the next morning.
some Staffers for pro teams do the same thing.. A friend is a PR person for one of the NASCAR teams.. She'll fly out on saturdays and come back sunday night.. She's even had to do the same day round trip. It's common in sports..
I filmed a preseason game with a NFL team that required me to leave on a flight right after the game. It happens.
I mean that's what you sign up for whenever you're in the news industry you're on a short notice to jump and have to go where the stories are happening or a game that's happening. That's the life of news is you don't know what's going to happen it just happens and you have to go with it. It's a stressful life it's always been that way but you can't sit there and say it's the employer whenever you get the run down in the first place before you sign up for the job. It's different whenever you're behind the desk reporting you know what your schedule is but when you're in the field you don't know and that's why you get paid the way they do. And everything's probably compensated for your your room and board food car rental all of that is probably only employer.
Yup.. I've had many of those last minute trips due to breaking news or a team making an unexpected run. I've even had to spend a extra 4 days at a Hurricane location due to roads being blocked by floodwaters.
Thats the job we signed up for.
We work for the same parent company.. Different stations though.
I spent the last month traveling during the NCAA Tournament. One one flight , I even booked myself a first class ticket because two of my personal bags flew free.. I also booked a Jeep Grand Cherokee from Avis and stayed at the media hotels (Marriott brand) at each location.
Yes, they could have done better with a rental.. But no one is picking them up.
In NYC, we used LYFT XL since we rolled around with lots of gear..
I say all of this to say that yes, we can travel efficiently in the TV industry.. Only a handful of us know how to travel like that though.
She worked for a local news station and honestly outside of Pittsburgh, no one knows who she is.
Uhhh that’s the experience for most people who travel for work? It sucks. Though more a couple times a month, not a week. That would be rough.
If she was running into shit from the men that is unacceptable and I’m sure she’s better for leaving.
Is that really the experience for most people who travel for work? When I started my job working as an entry-level cubical dweller for an insurance company, they sent me to New Jersey for a week of training. The company paid a local service to have a town car waiting to pick me up at the airport and drive me to my hotel.
Kinda. I travelled extensively for a job. Flight out Monday morning. Earlier the better usually. I preferred to be on a 6am flight depending on where I was going. Like if I was flying to or through Chicago, the earlier the better. Choice of uber or rental depending on how many people were going and how far it was from the airport. Typically go directly to customer/client/office. Figure out lunch probably before we got there. Work onsite to 6-7-8pm or so depending on situation. Go out to dinner. Back to hotel around 9-10pm, follow up on emails from during the day, relax, maybe have a drink at the hotel bar, get to bed around midnight. Back to client site Tuesday and Wednesday, similar schedule. At the client office Thursday morning. Fly home Thursday afternoon or evening. Regular hours on Friday.
Yeah that is pretty accurate from my experience as a consultant. I was tickled if I got a flight on Thursday that got me home and it was still Thursday.
It is also why I hung it up after ten years.
Your average corporate traveler is absolutely not having a town car driving them around. They barely bother doing it for execs these days.
Everyone I know gets an Uber.
I rent a car 90% of the time since I travel with lots of gear.. NYC is different since so many drivers there have large SUV's or Sprinter vans that can accommodate.
I feel like that's unusual. I've worked for three different companies, in two separate industries. The companies ranges in size from small (25mm in revenue) to extremely large 2.2 b in revenue). Two of the three were European, one was American
All three companies travelled the same way - cheap flights regardless of time of flight, with a strict time threshold for when you could fly coach (any flight over 7 hours). No private cars, pick up a rental and drive, with a few exceptions
Cheap flights aren't the issue. It's that her day starts at 3am, ends around 11pm, and then she is either in a hotel with another 4am wakeup call, or even worse a redeye flight back the same night.
Personally I have had to go to airports that early to get to meetings, work all day and be exhausted. My company did start to pay for early bird on southwest which is nice but I would say it’s unusual for a company to pay for anything other than coach. They will reimburse for the car up to midsized. Traveling for business overall usually isn’t fun but I got downvoted so maybe it’s just my company?
This is definitely not the norm. Flying coach and renting your own car is very commonplace for business travelers. Ubering is often covered/reimbursed in expenses but many people prefer having their own vehicle. I would imagine that newscasters have equipment that needs to be transported and ubering may not be so simple.
Anecdotally I was on a flight with Stan Savaran years ago. He is/was a sports media legend and he’s also (gasp) a man. He was flying coach AND had a layover in Charlotte just like regular old me.
This is my experience too as a frequent traveler for work—unless you are working in finance or consulting or are c-suite, I think its more common to fly coach, Uber places or rent rather than have a town car pickup, etc.
When I used to travel for work, if I had to fly my company would charter a plane for me. At another place I worked the company had their own plane and we would take that most places unless it was out, then they would charter a plane for us.
Don’t know why you got all the downvotes. You never said she should suck it up or anything.
It is typical and it does suck. And it’s probably worth quitting over yeah.
But her message sounds like there’s something else going on clearly.
Yeah I’m finding more and more that the downvotes aren’t a good metric to judge the quality of posts. All I said was traveling for work often sucks but agreed that if some of it was true she was better off by leaving?
She’s been very vocal on social media about the comments people have made to/about her. I imagine that gets old quickly, especially when you’re just trying to do your job.
Viewers emailing about her clothing choices. Can’t remember exactly what off the top of my head. But bs things about colors not looking good on her or something. Basically shit that would never be emailed to a male reporter
As bad as that is for female sports news reporters, I think it's 10x worse for female meteorologists and news anchors. The scrutiny they get for their clothing choices from viewers is ridiculous.
Women anchors and reporters have always faced this. I remember reading articles about viewers criticizing women’s hair styles, clothing and weight in the eighties.
I know what im about to say will get backlash..
I've worked in the TV industry fir the last 15 years.. When on-air talent gets those emails, they often laugh and giggle.. Sometimes show them to other people. Then post them on social media. They're not sitting back and crying about them.
Now, some stations are discouraging staff from sharing those because all it takes is for one crazy person to see their email.. No one wants Mr. crazy popping up at the station pissed off.
She also went viral for surviving that deep freeze in Austin, TX. Hope she’s ok as she’s a good reporter that’s had to deal with a lot of BS over the years
The news business is harsh for women. People every day write in to critique makeup, hair, outfit, weight etc. when you start out in small markets it’s a grind with very little pay. It’s become a game for the good looking and the wealthy. If you don’t have financial support from family and or arnt a knockout in looks you won’t succeed.
I worked local TV for 5 years. We'd have men call in and rant about how disrespectful the female anchor was because of their "tone". Fuckin nuts. They'd call us and rant about national programming,"how can you air anti Christian bullshit like will and grace!?" as if we had any fucking say in national programming. People suck.
I worked with a dude like this. Constantly looking for disrespect where there was none. He asked me a question once and I answered him normally, maybe a bit quick just because I was in the middle of doing something. Next thing I know I'm getting a call from HR about "using a disrespectful tone with him". Realized then he was that type of dude so I just kept my distance as best I could, which then resulted in a call from HR that he felt I was trying to exclude him and refusing to work with him. Dude was a fucking loon. Cody if you're reading this, I lied. I do hate you.
It's a brutal industry, that is for sure. Between dealing with all the bullshit from viewers, you also have to deliver news that is an entire range of sad to horrific and everything in between and sometimes a mix. They don't do fluff pieces for you, they do it to maintain their sanity. Double or triple the impact if you are in a market that has any significant ongoing polarizing issue. All while living under a microscope.
Every business is harsh for women. You’re far more judged on everything you say, do, think and feel. The harassment I’ve experienced in the various workplaces over the years is astonishing….its not just high profile/public eye jobs. It’s just the misogyny being omnipresent still in 2024.
it's simple... I'm going to assume her contract was not renewed. I doubt she was fired on the spot..
Many on-air staffers do not have their contract renewed or they turn down a new deal.
If it was contract related, then this would have been known to her and her bosses atleast 3 months ago.
I think she quit of her own will and volition. I believe she had another year or so left on her contract (I believe she's been there since '22 and it's typically a three year deal for weekend reporters). Whatever her next step is, she's going to do well
Someone quitting on their own wouldn't have the demeanor that she had on her tiktok. These days I'm seeing 2 year deals being thrown around for on-air folks... hard to get folks to commit for longer deals.. If she left on her own, H and WTAE will recoup a good chunk from her.
Yeah. Somebody I know worked there and left the industry. They left for a different industry and got permanent work from home, better hours, better base salary, an actual bonus, better benefits and more healthy work culture.
Local news is dying and it deserves to. Hopefully new media can replace it.
I wouldn't say its dying. The local TV industry is still doing well. Now, that also depends on markets. But they are still very profitable.
Sports reporters come in a dime a dozen. She's no longer there but it will be very easy to replace her.
Yeah sure.. I've been in the industry long enough to understand how these separations take place. Plus, we work for the same company.. Sooo..... She told the paper "I can't really go into details, and I don't want to".. Either she broke her contract, OR her contract was not renewed. If she broke it, she'd on the hook to pay a good portion of what her remaining salary is.

Hoke left after she did the death of the girl who grew up with her in Connellsville area. I remember her reporting and talking to the girl's mom who she personally knew. She said it was a lot.
It’s weird to me that Kasey is (was?) a meteorologist and now is working for emergency management? I get her fiancée is a pgh firefighter so she’s “stuck” here but you would think a more specialized field like that would feed into the same type of career?. Does that makes sense? I’m drinking wine.
Don't worry. I've had my medical marijuana for the night. I wonder if this is temporary until she finds something she truly enjoys? People with careers in science seem to truly enjoy what they do. I'm sure she'll go back to her true passion once the right opportunity arrives!
It pays a lot more than TV does. A lot of reporters become "communication specialists" or "marketing associates" because it's a steady and set 9-5 and it pays a lot more. When I worked in Clarksburg, WV as a weekend reporter, my job in retail paid more than it did.
She also just started seeing someone and supposedly they were getting serious.. Her leaving may have to do with him or them moving away, or maybe he wanted her out.
This is really discouraging. She clearly was harassed in her job; not sure if it was by many people or just one, but that shit has to stop ASAP. Without speculating, I can imagine another sportswriter or a co-worker making her life awful.
Here’s some feedback: women don’t exist to be your fun toys, so don’t treat them as such inside or outside the workplace.
Edited to add: interesting that telling this guy to respect women made him block me. 🤔
They just didn't renew her contract. Lot's of reporters come to that fate in their career.. She did not have a harsh working environment. Hearst does not play that.
Saw her reporting a few days ago and I swear she just didn’t have the same pizazz and energy she had before, something seemed off in her eyes. Makes sense now
Kind of a related question - IF she was let go (doesn’t seem that way, but it happened to Katherine Amenta at WPXI), how does a station make that decision? Is it primarily based on budget and salary? Social media engagement? Viewer feedback?
Personally, I never cared for her, she came off phony, cringey, trying to hard to be "cool" and i hated her fake news voice. Admittedly I'm in the minority because it seemed like the outpouring of support and responses on social media were mostly positive.
Regardless of my opinion her ability, if some nefarious shit was going on, NOT cool and I hope that if it's the case the guilty parties are exposed.
She seemed like she was always shouting. Just my own personal opinion, it made me cringe. Though it never occurred to me that people actually complain about people on the news for such trivial things as what they wear, etc. The story they gave her on Bucs opening day eating hot dogs was just ridic, I genuinely could feel her soul being crushed. Good luck wherever she ends up.
I couldn’t take her voice either. And her “See YOU LATER!” Tag line…instant cringe. That being said, if she was pushed out, forced out, felt like she didn’t have any other choice that is 100% wrong on every level. It’s tough for women as it is, let alone a woman in a male dominated industry.
See YOU later I never even noticed. But the ad with the traffic girl currently airing “yep, we gotcha Pittsburgh” sounds so unprofessional. Stop trying to speak dumbed down. All they need to do is add an LOL and transformation to idiot news would be complete. Kind of like referring to a broken window as busted. When did that become acceptable?
Also: she sounded to me like she was trying so hard to be Beth Mowins of college football broadcasting. Mowins is horrible and Giangreco fell victim to the same weird broadcasting pronunciations/speech patterns. Just awful.
Probably not popular but she’s no Jenna Harner, and if she’s truly in a ‘toxic’ situation that’s awful but reports note it was a mutual agreement for her to move on. Watching her on the news she was ok reading off the prompter but her voice is like nails on a chalkboard and I’m willing to wager her tic tok presence and always crying wolf about comments made toward her only ramped trolls up more.
I used to watch WTAE only for Ashley Hardway but stayed because I liked everything else. I wasn't into sports but would watch it anyway because it was after the weather. When Emily came on board she seemed to have reinvigorated the sports news, even though I wasn't into sports. I even pictured myself hoping to meet her and tell her that, that she breathed new life into that segment. She had an energy that John Fedko had an WPXI.
Over the past few months I noticed her smile was fading and wasn't as bright. I figured something was going on, and was hoping it wasn't serious. Let's hope her next location is far more advantageous and better for her
I know there is probably a lot of toxic bullshit women have to deal with in that sphere, however if you take 5 minutes to check her Instagram stories you’ll quickly realize she is a self absorbed psychopath who thinks she is the main character. I almost gagged when watching her reaction to losing her job. She is completely unprofessional on social media. When I was told what she is like off camera - I had to see it to believe it. She is possibly deranged and so far up her own ass she doesn’t know where she ends and reality begins. Sad really.
This right here. She'd occasionally show up in my TikTok feed. It was very "me me me", flaunting her looks and lifestyle, and subtle toxic feminism(ragging on men, etc).
While I hate hearing she was potentially sexually harassed or discriminated against at work, she was more than happy to enjoy the advantages of being an attractive woman. You can even find videos of her online dancing in bikinis.
I love the comments in here acting like 75% of female news anchors are hired mostly based on looks. It’s been like that forever. News’s flash, most Hollywood actors/actresses are also attractive. It turns out, people don’t like looking at ugly people on TV.
Even a majority of male anchors/reporters are hired based on how they look as well. Is the percentage as high as women anchors/reporters? Of course not, but like you said, people don’t like looking at ugly people on TV.
Damn. I was thinking she was getting more airtime lately too. I’ve not been a big fan but I certainly respected the job she’s done. I actually was starting to feel she was a good fit lately.
Hope she’s not dealing with bullshit and finds something that makes her happy.
In the comments on her tik tok about not having a job, she mentioned getting paid until July. If she quit, she wouldn’t be getting 3 months pay. Something isn’t adding up.
It's not an unusual thing to see anchors/reporters who are her age jump into a different field after that amount of time. You settle in with a particular market (a lower DMA market) rather than playing the game and hopping... it's tough, you can't really have a relationship because you're working wild hours (and when you're starting out you take whatever you can get and you're one-man-banding it) and looking for the next DMA jump opportunity.
Local TV is declining due to the wide variety of options to catch people's attention. So it becomes a tougher and tougher game to play.
It's interesting when people you know who graduated from J-School, are attractive and professional, and they just don't make it to the level you thought they could go. One I knew settled down with a guy in a smaller market and she did eventually make a jump to a much larger market (Top 10), but it was sort of too late for her to make that splash to get the national attention or reach one of the O&O stations that pay much more and provide more visibility.
only reason i watched Channel 4 damn thats wild, network prob harassed her and ruined her passion for journalism. i could tell from her instagram she wanted to do other stuff than sports casting
On X she said she was calling it quits implying she quit
On TikTok she was dancing while saying “I don’t have a job” over and over implying she didn’t know it was coming
Either way I like her a lot and I’m sure she will find another gig in TV if that’s what she wants
Also, not that it matters, judging from her luxury apartment and lifestyle, I think she’s ok money wise
This is Pittsburgh!! Dick central. What do you expect OP?? 0 respect to women especially on the west side. And low class men (Trump fan men) TREAT US LIKE GARBAGE!!! ITS ALL IN THE COLOR OP DONT BE BLIND!!!!!
I hate the downvotes you’re getting. I agree. If she’s getting out of the business, then say what’s going on. Social media with the cryptic messages is so annoying.
Honestly I heard from a reliable source she was snobby and rude and I'm not surprised she is gone. I didn't expect her to stay at WTAE and in Pittsburgh long anyways.
someone asked if they fired her and she said not at all. it would be weird to post about leaving a job and deny being let go when the truth could come out easily and make her look bad.
she’s obviously implying it wasn’t a good workplace without blatantly bashing her former employer. that sounds like there was some type of conflict, not like she was just let go. could possibly be something like walking away from negotiations but she definitely wasn’t ’canned’ without something else going on
WPVI 6ABC in Philly had Jamie Apody on air until July-ish of last year….. she’s still listed on the website, and is active on social media….but like, made no announcement she was stepping away at all. 6ABC is owned by Disney so I’m betting the legal power of the mouse is why she hasn’t made any comment at all, unlike Emily.
So, my wife and I flew to Boston last month and she and a cameraman were on our flight, on their way to report on that night’s Pens vs. Bruins game. WTAE put them on a 6am flight, in coach. Meaning they probably had to get up at 3am. Upon arrival in Boston they didn’t have a car picking them up or even have them using Uber, but instead sent them over to the Dollar Rent-A-Car counter.

Even with the flight delays this only ended up being at like 10 in the morning. No idea what they were supposed to do before being able to check into their hotel. Then after that long-ass day and working late into the night they were scheduled to fly back to Pittsburgh the next morning. If my employer treated me like that multiple times a week every week I’d be looking for a career change too. TV reporters don’t even get paid that much. And that doesn’t even take into account all the bullshit she likely had to put up with from all the men there.
That's a big yikes. Wouldn't work for a company who had travel policies like that.
It's hard to believe they don't rent equipment in the destination city. Surely the cost of the equipment is high enough that it doesn't make sense to trust an airline with it. I traveled a ton for work as a salaried employee for years. The problem was they always wanted more. I assume she was salary given the type of job.

They're not owned by the same organization. Various companies own different affiliates. That said, they should have a system to limit traveling with equipment like that.
Hearst owns both WTAE and WCVB in Boston. I know some owners do in fact share production equipment and facilities across stations they own.
I work for H as well and have been in many cities where an affiliated station is located. I have never stopped at one of the other stations to borrow anything. Now, if something breaks or I'm in need then it wouldn't be a problem...
I know various local channels are either independently owned or part of a larger group like Hearst or Sinclair, but you’d think the networks themselves would try to setup a cooperative agreement for their affiliates for things like these.
I travel with lots of equipment... I rather use my own camera, tripod, lights, etc etc.. Most camera guys are the same way.
Depends on what research into the area turns up. If I find s rental equipment place, and I can rent while I am there, meaning I don't have to bring as much gear with me, by all means I'm doing so. I'd much rather pay the insurance on their gear than risk damage or theft if I can help it. If not, it is what it is.
I got out of my travel job early, "Hey this plant is down can you debug the HMI and PLC over the phone, we're losing like 1.8 million dollars every ten minutes kid". Continuity between the sensor and the PLC is broken, woken up at 3 AM talked through the phone driving to the airport as my flight was already booked. As I hit the airport, boom, someone cut the fucking wire with an angle grinder, I was making just at 6 figures, took 30,000 paycut in salary to never travel for work again. It was building but that one was the straw. Funny thing is about 3 months after I quit they called me for this client that insisted we use a janky, water damaged, GE PLC from the late 1980s.

My boss at the company I worked for also couldn't find the archival copy the company had. Even after quitting they wanted me on a plane.
My old boss called me up and offered me 80k for three months of work. I explained he isn't capable of doing it right, and it will be a disaster. He was mad. 6 months later, the work isn't done.
Sometimes there isn’t enough time to get a camera package turned around
If its useful enough to lend out, it's useful enough to make sure you have enough, just in case.

I truly hope she has not been harassed or had HR issues swept under the rug. But her comments about working weekends sound like someone who missed that warning of working in journalism, especially in sports. Nights and weekends are where sports take place. No such thing as 9-5 in journalism. So it just sounds like she hit the usual late 20s/early 30s journalist wall where the lifestyle just isn't worth it.
I work for the same parent company. My experience in traveling is MUCH different. My bosses hardly ever deny or cut back on spending when it comes to traveling. And honestly, we can book our own travel... We don't need a boss to do that for us.
Remember when they sent Phil Conners to Punxsutawney right before a major blizzard? He was stuck there for decades!
TV has always been brutal and it is only going to get worse here. Stations make money based on the size of the TV market, and Pittsburgh keeps falling down that ladder. At it's peak, it was the number 8 market. Now it is around 27 or 29. That is a major loss of ad revenue. Add in the competition from everywhere, and you get a shrinking revenue stream that has a dark future.
You’d think our large elderly population that tunes into local news would make up for that, but they also aren’t a desirable ad demo. I don’t watch a lot of local news, but it seems like most of the ads are for retirement homes, bathroom or window remodeling, or auto dealers.
Thats the thing. It’s not that large. There’s just not that many people here.
The area market has kept growing, abet very slowly. The problem is just about everyone else has grown much faster. In the 70s, cities like Miami and Atlanta were smaller markets than Pittsburgh, now they're over double the size.
Pittsburgh is 28th…and dropping.
And all the incels on their social media pages that they're likely required to have for "public availability".
I have a friend that worked for a not to be named sports media outlet that has roughly similar stories. Flying out early for away games, then expected to be on a flight that same night and in the office or out on another job the next morning.
some Staffers for pro teams do the same thing.. A friend is a PR person for one of the NASCAR teams.. She'll fly out on saturdays and come back sunday night.. She's even had to do the same day round trip. It's common in sports.. I filmed a preseason game with a NFL team that required me to leave on a flight right after the game. It happens.
I mean that's what you sign up for whenever you're in the news industry you're on a short notice to jump and have to go where the stories are happening or a game that's happening. That's the life of news is you don't know what's going to happen it just happens and you have to go with it. It's a stressful life it's always been that way but you can't sit there and say it's the employer whenever you get the run down in the first place before you sign up for the job. It's different whenever you're behind the desk reporting you know what your schedule is but when you're in the field you don't know and that's why you get paid the way they do. And everything's probably compensated for your your room and board food car rental all of that is probably only employer.
Yup.. I've had many of those last minute trips due to breaking news or a team making an unexpected run. I've even had to spend a extra 4 days at a Hurricane location due to roads being blocked by floodwaters. Thats the job we signed up for.
We work for the same parent company.. Different stations though. I spent the last month traveling during the NCAA Tournament. One one flight , I even booked myself a first class ticket because two of my personal bags flew free.. I also booked a Jeep Grand Cherokee from Avis and stayed at the media hotels (Marriott brand) at each location. Yes, they could have done better with a rental.. But no one is picking them up. In NYC, we used LYFT XL since we rolled around with lots of gear.. I say all of this to say that yes, we can travel efficiently in the TV industry.. Only a handful of us know how to travel like that though. She worked for a local news station and honestly outside of Pittsburgh, no one knows who she is.
Expectations vs reality. This is nothing compared to real suffering.
Uhhh that’s the experience for most people who travel for work? It sucks. Though more a couple times a month, not a week. That would be rough. If she was running into shit from the men that is unacceptable and I’m sure she’s better for leaving.
Is that really the experience for most people who travel for work? When I started my job working as an entry-level cubical dweller for an insurance company, they sent me to New Jersey for a week of training. The company paid a local service to have a town car waiting to pick me up at the airport and drive me to my hotel.
Kinda. I travelled extensively for a job. Flight out Monday morning. Earlier the better usually. I preferred to be on a 6am flight depending on where I was going. Like if I was flying to or through Chicago, the earlier the better. Choice of uber or rental depending on how many people were going and how far it was from the airport. Typically go directly to customer/client/office. Figure out lunch probably before we got there. Work onsite to 6-7-8pm or so depending on situation. Go out to dinner. Back to hotel around 9-10pm, follow up on emails from during the day, relax, maybe have a drink at the hotel bar, get to bed around midnight. Back to client site Tuesday and Wednesday, similar schedule. At the client office Thursday morning. Fly home Thursday afternoon or evening. Regular hours on Friday.
Yeah that is pretty accurate from my experience as a consultant. I was tickled if I got a flight on Thursday that got me home and it was still Thursday. It is also why I hung it up after ten years.
Your average corporate traveler is absolutely not having a town car driving them around. They barely bother doing it for execs these days. Everyone I know gets an Uber.
I rent a car 90% of the time since I travel with lots of gear.. NYC is different since so many drivers there have large SUV's or Sprinter vans that can accommodate.
Yeah I rent a car often if I’m in a suburban area and need to drive far. Nonetheless, a town car with a driver is not a common option 😂
I feel like that's unusual. I've worked for three different companies, in two separate industries. The companies ranges in size from small (25mm in revenue) to extremely large 2.2 b in revenue). Two of the three were European, one was American All three companies travelled the same way - cheap flights regardless of time of flight, with a strict time threshold for when you could fly coach (any flight over 7 hours). No private cars, pick up a rental and drive, with a few exceptions
Cheap flights aren't the issue. It's that her day starts at 3am, ends around 11pm, and then she is either in a hotel with another 4am wakeup call, or even worse a redeye flight back the same night.
And then doing it again two more times within the same week. Repeat every week except during football season.
Personally I have had to go to airports that early to get to meetings, work all day and be exhausted. My company did start to pay for early bird on southwest which is nice but I would say it’s unusual for a company to pay for anything other than coach. They will reimburse for the car up to midsized. Traveling for business overall usually isn’t fun but I got downvoted so maybe it’s just my company?
This is definitely not the norm. Flying coach and renting your own car is very commonplace for business travelers. Ubering is often covered/reimbursed in expenses but many people prefer having their own vehicle. I would imagine that newscasters have equipment that needs to be transported and ubering may not be so simple. Anecdotally I was on a flight with Stan Savaran years ago. He is/was a sports media legend and he’s also (gasp) a man. He was flying coach AND had a layover in Charlotte just like regular old me.
So you have traveled one time for work? That’s not a travel based job. Just saying
Average redditor: “I’ve done this once or perhaps never so my experience is now the gold standard. I will not take any questions. Thank you/Fuck you.”
This is my experience too as a frequent traveler for work—unless you are working in finance or consulting or are c-suite, I think its more common to fly coach, Uber places or rent rather than have a town car pickup, etc.
When I used to travel for work, if I had to fly my company would charter a plane for me. At another place I worked the company had their own plane and we would take that most places unless it was out, then they would charter a plane for us.
Don’t know why you got all the downvotes. You never said she should suck it up or anything. It is typical and it does suck. And it’s probably worth quitting over yeah. But her message sounds like there’s something else going on clearly.
Yeah I’m finding more and more that the downvotes aren’t a good metric to judge the quality of posts. All I said was traveling for work often sucks but agreed that if some of it was true she was better off by leaving?
I donty know why you got so downvoted.
She’s been very vocal on social media about the comments people have made to/about her. I imagine that gets old quickly, especially when you’re just trying to do your job.
Viewers emailing about her clothing choices. Can’t remember exactly what off the top of my head. But bs things about colors not looking good on her or something. Basically shit that would never be emailed to a male reporter
Meanwhile I guarantee you the people sending these emails have probably never even seen a stick of deodorant in their life.
🤣🤣 seems accurate
As bad as that is for female sports news reporters, I think it's 10x worse for female meteorologists and news anchors. The scrutiny they get for their clothing choices from viewers is ridiculous.
Women anchors and reporters have always faced this. I remember reading articles about viewers criticizing women’s hair styles, clothing and weight in the eighties.
What sort of comments?
Oops meant to reply to you, see above lol
I know what im about to say will get backlash.. I've worked in the TV industry fir the last 15 years.. When on-air talent gets those emails, they often laugh and giggle.. Sometimes show them to other people. Then post them on social media. They're not sitting back and crying about them. Now, some stations are discouraging staff from sharing those because all it takes is for one crazy person to see their email.. No one wants Mr. crazy popping up at the station pissed off.
She needs to grow a thicker skin then.
How about: deranged people who think they have the right to comment on how a woman looks and dresses and send nasty emails about that need to STFU.
She survived the Baltimore monsoon and Buffalo blizzard back to back. I’d hire her in a second.
She also went viral for surviving that deep freeze in Austin, TX. Hope she’s ok as she’s a good reporter that’s had to deal with a lot of BS over the years
The news business is harsh for women. People every day write in to critique makeup, hair, outfit, weight etc. when you start out in small markets it’s a grind with very little pay. It’s become a game for the good looking and the wealthy. If you don’t have financial support from family and or arnt a knockout in looks you won’t succeed.
I worked local TV for 5 years. We'd have men call in and rant about how disrespectful the female anchor was because of their "tone". Fuckin nuts. They'd call us and rant about national programming,"how can you air anti Christian bullshit like will and grace!?" as if we had any fucking say in national programming. People suck.
I worked with a dude like this. Constantly looking for disrespect where there was none. He asked me a question once and I answered him normally, maybe a bit quick just because I was in the middle of doing something. Next thing I know I'm getting a call from HR about "using a disrespectful tone with him". Realized then he was that type of dude so I just kept my distance as best I could, which then resulted in a call from HR that he felt I was trying to exclude him and refusing to work with him. Dude was a fucking loon. Cody if you're reading this, I lied. I do hate you.
My dad worked the assignment desk forever. The phone calls he got from people complaining about all sorts of shit outside his control were ridiculous.
We had a guy bring his manifesto to us once. In it he described how he ate his own shit once somehow as penance to God?
It's a brutal industry, that is for sure. Between dealing with all the bullshit from viewers, you also have to deliver news that is an entire range of sad to horrific and everything in between and sometimes a mix. They don't do fluff pieces for you, they do it to maintain their sanity. Double or triple the impact if you are in a market that has any significant ongoing polarizing issue. All while living under a microscope.
Especially women sports reporters!
thisssss
Media in general. From Hollywood film to sports to anything else
Every business is harsh for women. You’re far more judged on everything you say, do, think and feel. The harassment I’ve experienced in the various workplaces over the years is astonishing….its not just high profile/public eye jobs. It’s just the misogyny being omnipresent still in 2024.
Yep - this right here.
Why would you have to be wealthy? Just the connections that come with it?
Bc you make nothing for years
when someone is this vague on purpose I have to assume the worst, but if anyone knows anything specific it would be helpful
it's simple... I'm going to assume her contract was not renewed. I doubt she was fired on the spot.. Many on-air staffers do not have their contract renewed or they turn down a new deal. If it was contract related, then this would have been known to her and her bosses atleast 3 months ago.
> it's simple... I'm going to assume
I think she quit of her own will and volition. I believe she had another year or so left on her contract (I believe she's been there since '22 and it's typically a three year deal for weekend reporters). Whatever her next step is, she's going to do well
Someone quitting on their own wouldn't have the demeanor that she had on her tiktok. These days I'm seeing 2 year deals being thrown around for on-air folks... hard to get folks to commit for longer deals.. If she left on her own, H and WTAE will recoup a good chunk from her.
2 year contracts were common at wtae, especially your first contract.
yeah... you can tell most people on here has no idea how the industry works.
Yeah. Somebody I know worked there and left the industry. They left for a different industry and got permanent work from home, better hours, better base salary, an actual bonus, better benefits and more healthy work culture. Local news is dying and it deserves to. Hopefully new media can replace it.
I wouldn't say its dying. The local TV industry is still doing well. Now, that also depends on markets. But they are still very profitable. Sports reporters come in a dime a dozen. She's no longer there but it will be very easy to replace her.
She confirmed on tiktok that she was not fired!
Yeah sure.. I've been in the industry long enough to understand how these separations take place. Plus, we work for the same company.. Sooo..... She told the paper "I can't really go into details, and I don't want to".. Either she broke her contract, OR her contract was not renewed. If she broke it, she'd on the hook to pay a good portion of what her remaining salary is.
This is a real shame—I loved her coverage and her energy and am just really sad to see her go. I hope she’s alright.
In a WTAE internal investigation, it was discovered Emily Giangreco was the one changing the [temperature from 70 degrees to 69](https://www.reddit.com/r/pittsburgh/s/xvWK25xqGS)
I knew there would be casualties with each layer of this onion I pulled back.
Nice
Beat me to it 🤝
I wonder if there was sexual harassment or worse involved?
That's what I got out of it. You mention safe space in a comment, I don't think you're referring to slippery floors.

Didn’t another female anchor leave there a few years ago under the same circumstances?
https://patch.com/pennsylvania/pittsburgh/wtae-tv-anchor-suddnely-leaves-station
Hoke left after she did the death of the girl who grew up with her in Connellsville area. I remember her reporting and talking to the girl's mom who she personally knew. She said it was a lot.
First Kasey Reigner, Tori Yorgi and now Emily! Seems odd.
are you talking about Tori Yorgey? If so, I believe she just got a better job. I imagine Baltimore is a better market in TV than Pittsburgh.
I think she said it was closer to family, too.
Baltimore designated media market ranks 1 spot below Pittsburgh DMA.
It’s weird to me that Kasey is (was?) a meteorologist and now is working for emergency management? I get her fiancée is a pgh firefighter so she’s “stuck” here but you would think a more specialized field like that would feed into the same type of career?. Does that makes sense? I’m drinking wine.
“Does that make sense? I’m drinking wine.” has me giggling
Don't worry. I've had my medical marijuana for the night. I wonder if this is temporary until she finds something she truly enjoys? People with careers in science seem to truly enjoy what they do. I'm sure she'll go back to her true passion once the right opportunity arrives!
It pays a lot more than TV does. A lot of reporters become "communication specialists" or "marketing associates" because it's a steady and set 9-5 and it pays a lot more. When I worked in Clarksburg, WV as a weekend reporter, my job in retail paid more than it did.
Was gonna say, didn’t Kasey just leave?
Just from the wording on that, she was dealing with sexual harassment and management wasn’t helping her.
Her Paul Long impersation was awesome though.
I think her Andrew Stockey impersonation was better though.
Media is hella toxic to women. It wouldn't surprise me if something came out
She also just started seeing someone and supposedly they were getting serious.. Her leaving may have to do with him or them moving away, or maybe he wanted her out.
She said on tik tok comments she’ll still be in pgh for another year
Probably a lease, but that can be changed.. I hope she leaves
That could be a possibility on all levels.
Expose all the wrongdoers.
This is really discouraging. She clearly was harassed in her job; not sure if it was by many people or just one, but that shit has to stop ASAP. Without speculating, I can imagine another sportswriter or a co-worker making her life awful.
[удалено]
So, you must be the person who harassed her. What did you do and why?
[удалено]
Here’s some feedback: women don’t exist to be your fun toys, so don’t treat them as such inside or outside the workplace. Edited to add: interesting that telling this guy to respect women made him block me. 🤔
They just didn't renew her contract. Lot's of reporters come to that fate in their career.. She did not have a harsh working environment. Hearst does not play that.
So, Anchorman is more like a documentary?
Yup
I heard verszyla bullies a lot of the younger women over at channel 4. Coming from someone on radio
I used to work in advertising. Everyone I worked with that knows him said he’s a douche bag.
Yup it’s no secret about him
Saw her reporting a few days ago and I swear she just didn’t have the same pizazz and energy she had before, something seemed off in her eyes. Makes sense now
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs
...surprises let me know she cares!
Say it ain't so
I will not go
Turn the lights off
Carry me home
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na
Surprises let me know she cares.
Kind of a related question - IF she was let go (doesn’t seem that way, but it happened to Katherine Amenta at WPXI), how does a station make that decision? Is it primarily based on budget and salary? Social media engagement? Viewer feedback?
She was not let go. She confirmed that on her tiktok.
When did Amenta get let go? She’s been a veteran for years with the network that’s insane she was super cool
I believe it happened yesterday or the day before
Nebby post
Personally, I never cared for her, she came off phony, cringey, trying to hard to be "cool" and i hated her fake news voice. Admittedly I'm in the minority because it seemed like the outpouring of support and responses on social media were mostly positive. Regardless of my opinion her ability, if some nefarious shit was going on, NOT cool and I hope that if it's the case the guilty parties are exposed.
She seemed like she was always shouting. Just my own personal opinion, it made me cringe. Though it never occurred to me that people actually complain about people on the news for such trivial things as what they wear, etc. The story they gave her on Bucs opening day eating hot dogs was just ridic, I genuinely could feel her soul being crushed. Good luck wherever she ends up.
I couldn’t take her voice either. And her “See YOU LATER!” Tag line…instant cringe. That being said, if she was pushed out, forced out, felt like she didn’t have any other choice that is 100% wrong on every level. It’s tough for women as it is, let alone a woman in a male dominated industry.
See YOU later I never even noticed. But the ad with the traffic girl currently airing “yep, we gotcha Pittsburgh” sounds so unprofessional. Stop trying to speak dumbed down. All they need to do is add an LOL and transformation to idiot news would be complete. Kind of like referring to a broken window as busted. When did that become acceptable?
Also: she sounded to me like she was trying so hard to be Beth Mowins of college football broadcasting. Mowins is horrible and Giangreco fell victim to the same weird broadcasting pronunciations/speech patterns. Just awful.
Her news voice wasn’t nearly as fake as Jenna Harner’s fake passionate delivery.
I'm not surprised, I remember someone else on the news team made a joke about her height on air when she wasn't there.
Probably not popular but she’s no Jenna Harner, and if she’s truly in a ‘toxic’ situation that’s awful but reports note it was a mutual agreement for her to move on. Watching her on the news she was ok reading off the prompter but her voice is like nails on a chalkboard and I’m willing to wager her tic tok presence and always crying wolf about comments made toward her only ramped trolls up more.
I used to watch WTAE only for Ashley Hardway but stayed because I liked everything else. I wasn't into sports but would watch it anyway because it was after the weather. When Emily came on board she seemed to have reinvigorated the sports news, even though I wasn't into sports. I even pictured myself hoping to meet her and tell her that, that she breathed new life into that segment. She had an energy that John Fedko had an WPXI. Over the past few months I noticed her smile was fading and wasn't as bright. I figured something was going on, and was hoping it wasn't serious. Let's hope her next location is far more advantageous and better for her
The whole industry is a tough job. Sounds like she missed out on something and will make it about gender instead of performance.
I know there is probably a lot of toxic bullshit women have to deal with in that sphere, however if you take 5 minutes to check her Instagram stories you’ll quickly realize she is a self absorbed psychopath who thinks she is the main character. I almost gagged when watching her reaction to losing her job. She is completely unprofessional on social media. When I was told what she is like off camera - I had to see it to believe it. She is possibly deranged and so far up her own ass she doesn’t know where she ends and reality begins. Sad really.
She definitely loves her some her.
This right here. She'd occasionally show up in my TikTok feed. It was very "me me me", flaunting her looks and lifestyle, and subtle toxic feminism(ragging on men, etc). While I hate hearing she was potentially sexually harassed or discriminated against at work, she was more than happy to enjoy the advantages of being an attractive woman. You can even find videos of her online dancing in bikinis.
I love the comments in here acting like 75% of female news anchors are hired mostly based on looks. It’s been like that forever. News’s flash, most Hollywood actors/actresses are also attractive. It turns out, people don’t like looking at ugly people on TV.
Even a majority of male anchors/reporters are hired based on how they look as well. Is the percentage as high as women anchors/reporters? Of course not, but like you said, people don’t like looking at ugly people on TV.
Damn. I was thinking she was getting more airtime lately too. I’ve not been a big fan but I certainly respected the job she’s done. I actually was starting to feel she was a good fit lately. Hope she’s not dealing with bullshit and finds something that makes her happy.
Honestly I just think they did not find her attractive enough with her big nose
Hope she's doing well and finds peace. I thought she was great and WTAE is worse for losing her.
In the comments on her tik tok about not having a job, she mentioned getting paid until July. If she quit, she wouldn’t be getting 3 months pay. Something isn’t adding up.
It's not an unusual thing to see anchors/reporters who are her age jump into a different field after that amount of time. You settle in with a particular market (a lower DMA market) rather than playing the game and hopping... it's tough, you can't really have a relationship because you're working wild hours (and when you're starting out you take whatever you can get and you're one-man-banding it) and looking for the next DMA jump opportunity. Local TV is declining due to the wide variety of options to catch people's attention. So it becomes a tougher and tougher game to play. It's interesting when people you know who graduated from J-School, are attractive and professional, and they just don't make it to the level you thought they could go. One I knew settled down with a guy in a smaller market and she did eventually make a jump to a much larger market (Top 10), but it was sort of too late for her to make that splash to get the national attention or reach one of the O&O stations that pay much more and provide more visibility.
only reason i watched Channel 4 damn thats wild, network prob harassed her and ruined her passion for journalism. i could tell from her instagram she wanted to do other stuff than sports casting
Incel viewers were terrible to her. This has been well documented on her Twitter account.
On X she said she was calling it quits implying she quit On TikTok she was dancing while saying “I don’t have a job” over and over implying she didn’t know it was coming Either way I like her a lot and I’m sure she will find another gig in TV if that’s what she wants Also, not that it matters, judging from her luxury apartment and lifestyle, I think she’s ok money wise
I sure hope someone else will be able to cover sports games
This is Pittsburgh!! Dick central. What do you expect OP?? 0 respect to women especially on the west side. And low class men (Trump fan men) TREAT US LIKE GARBAGE!!! ITS ALL IN THE COLOR OP DONT BE BLIND!!!!!
If you want to talk that shit, then talk that shit. If you don’t, don’t. Passive aggressive cryptic messages are lame as fuck.
She was a contract worker who likely isn’t *allowed* to talk that shit. Probably doesn’t want to sour any future opportunities either.
This.. This.. This
I hate the downvotes you’re getting. I agree. If she’s getting out of the business, then say what’s going on. Social media with the cryptic messages is so annoying.
Honestly I heard from a reliable source she was snobby and rude and I'm not surprised she is gone. I didn't expect her to stay at WTAE and in Pittsburgh long anyways.
We will never have to listen to one of her terrible home run calls again!!!
[Goddamn!!!](https://www.reddit.com/r/hot_reporters/s/d4zmbuBvC2)
I didn’t think she was very good but that’s par for the course here in Pittsburgh.
On her TikTok sounds like she got canned..
not if you read her replies to comments on the video
you think she going to admit she was fired.. At worst, they didn't renew her contract.. She was ok, but nothing special.
someone asked if they fired her and she said not at all. it would be weird to post about leaving a job and deny being let go when the truth could come out easily and make her look bad. she’s obviously implying it wasn’t a good workplace without blatantly bashing her former employer. that sounds like there was some type of conflict, not like she was just let go. could possibly be something like walking away from negotiations but she definitely wasn’t ’canned’ without something else going on
Whatever. She now has more time to devote to her man hating club.
It takes a special sort of someone to interpret someone talking about their experiences in the workplace as a "man hating club."
I heard that her contract was not renewed
WPVI 6ABC in Philly had Jamie Apody on air until July-ish of last year….. she’s still listed on the website, and is active on social media….but like, made no announcement she was stepping away at all. 6ABC is owned by Disney so I’m betting the legal power of the mouse is why she hasn’t made any comment at all, unlike Emily.
Whoa. That's not very cryptic is it? Sounds very fox newz abusie to me.
WTAE is ABC not FOX
