SO bottom line, Local affliates (all of them Susan) Sinlcair (otherwise known as) WKEF/WRGT fight and will continue to fight for retransmission fees because CABLE companies that have continued to raise rates and take the good stuff for free ALL these years have THE MONEY from us AND advertiser to buy TOP SHOW(CSI/LAW & ORDER)and run them ad nauseum on TNT to dilute the product BROADCAST companies have to make the initial invest for.

How many will go out of business this year because they conitnue to support Dayton Daily News…but get see no growth except to the bottom line of the Cox monopoly that owns DDN, WHIO TV & Radio, Auto Trade. ALL Broadcast company from TOP down are fighing for retransmission fees..why not? Why should cable get the 4 largest NETWORKS for free. WISE-UP!

Sharon Howard is a waste of Money She’s a branch of the naacp, has been for ever,I think thats why shes still there, doing their bidding. It’s not because of talent. Do you think wdtn would put on a show that was 98% white, no way. just another double standard.

Mike Schell was one of the best reporters and news gathers at WDTN. His reporting always left the viewer with complete and accurate information instead of lingering questions. Mike consistently got the “whole” story and presented it very well. Mandy too was just screwed by Barhorst. Barhost is totally blind to talent, preferring corporate incest masked as tenure!

By R Paul

WDTN has very poor management, starting with the station manager Lisa Barhorst. Recently, they let Libby Kirsch back into the AM anchor spot along with Edwards, when Megan O’Rourke clearly made a better and more professional appearance. The CINergy with Dan and Jamie was so much better with Megan. Libby Kirsch needs to be flushed out of the system, and go back to making babies instead of reporting news.

By R Paul

February 26, 2009 10:02 AM | Link to this

Clearly there is too much politics being played at WDTN, almost to the point of corporate incest. If they would listen to some feedback, Bucher would be gone as well.. All you have to do is watch him for a week, listen to how he manages to say nothing almost the whole time he is on air, except make faces and bobble around, while trying to direct the camera. What a waste of a potentially valuable segment. Here, tenure gives Bucher the right to torture the audience.

Poor Management, and clearly, the inability to make decisions based on the best talent, instead of longest tenure, has resulted in poor ratings, loss of viewers, and loss of advertising dollars. Now WDTN is left with it’s hand out begging for support from the cable companies. What a pity!

It is amazing that they did not renew the contracts of Mandi Sheridan, who did the exclusive with the Lauderbach story, and Mike Shell but in 2007 and 2008 they hired 4 new general reporters: Jordan Burgess, Sonu Wasu, Holy Samuel, and Chelby Kosto. So how can they say it was a cost cutting measure..THis stinks..Mandi was good and professional. Maybe the new 4 reporters were cheaper to keep Than Mandi and Mike. SO why keep 2 veterans to do the news..I am sure that only makes sense to WDTN.

Speaking from experience:

The management at WDTN is terrible. They have absolutely no idea how to run a newsroom. The experienced reporters left town years ago, as did the producers, who are now basically paid interns. The equipment is atrocious. As for the layoffs, Mike Schell never should have been hired to begin with. Mandi Sheridan was borderline psychotic. They could save a bundle by firing Sharon Howard, who is absolutely useless and always has been.

Susan, It has nothing to do with WDTN or Time Warner. It has everything to do with the industry and the market..TV makes practically all of its profits on advertising..The auto industry comprises more than half of the advertising revenue.When the auto industry(this includes the Big 3, as well as all of the imports)are not doing well, they cut back on advertising, which in turns trickles down to the tv stations, and other media outlets. The cable disputes occur regularly when contracts are up.

to teacher: Nothing means anything to WDTN except for their bottom line. The don’t care about anyone that is beneth the Executive Offices. I quit watching WDTN about the time they were trying to get money from Time Warner and I don’t miss them. So either they didn’t get as much from Time Warner as they hoped or the big wigs are pocketing the profits. Either way, WDTN employees who are cut will be better off somewhere else.

I am so sad to see Mandi Sheridan go! She was one of the most professional, unbiased, well-spoken, mistake-free journalists on the air in Dayton. She was also their senior reporter and broke the biggest news story of 2008 with the Maria Lauterbach story. Mary Lauterbach would only talk to Mandi! That should mean something to WDTN and it is definitely their loss. I will not watch Channel 2 now! Some of them are very good, but the younger crew isn’t! I’m sure Mandi will do very well!

It’s sad to see people getting cut, especially since the company already went through a Black Friday when the previous poor excuse for a company, Sunrise Television, let go 13 individuals back in 1998. The current GM at the time didn’t know a TV from a transistor radio, since he wasn’t up to 21st century standards and didn’t understand how a UHF station-WKEF could compete with 2 or 7. It’s what happens when you have investors, instead of qualified broadcast professionals running these companies.

Your reporters and anchors seem genuine and there’s much to be said about not hiring teenagers who stumble through their reports (Channel 2).

Don’t watch local TV much - local newscasts focus on car crashes and shootings - not things that affect the one million folks in their viewing area very much. Too many on air personalities who don’t know an error while reading the teleprompter if it slapped the in the face! Good luck to Carl Nichols - a really nice guy - Brian Davis will do a fine job.

Wanna put money that we all don’t have on a bet? If tv stations are cutting personnel because revenue is down, watch for the 1 1/2 hour local news casts at 5 shrink to an hour or, if there’s a God, 30 minutes! Costs more to produce local news than to put on Judge Judy or The Doctors from syndication (and content level is about equal). 30 minutes of local news is about all Dayton/Springfield can provide without having to watch reports talk about impending ice, on an average day.

People might diss WHIO/Channel 7, but the truth of the matter, is people watch them because they do not play musical chairs with their anchors.

Libby is awesome…very smooth. When she was with Guy Fogle on weekends they were a great team. Edwards is hard to watch. He’s like Ron Burgundy. Brian Davis is good. Cheryl McHenry is a good as well. Don Hammond tries way to hard to be credible. He’s cheesy just like 22/45. Jill Del Greco is enjoyable on weekendmornings at 7.As for the no sports guys since Omar? Omar was well-liked but too stiff.

These comments on here about people are what’s horrible. Steve, how dare you suggest that anybody needs to go! Who died and made you boss. For all those people out there who don’t like Schell or Oliphant, many do. I don’t wish for anybody to lose their job. I hope you don’t lose yours you evil grimlin…or maybe you’re already unemployed and jealous everyone else isn’t in your boat!

Mandi should have stayed she earned her job. Mike Schell can take his republican butt back down to Cincy were he came from. It should have been schell and oliphant. He is absolutely horrible. Everytime I see him I feel like it is his first time on camera… it’s like the movie Groundhog day. WDTN has shown that it has no loyalty to their employees. Sheridan has been her much longer than either Schell or Oliphant they should be the ones’ getting the pink slip!!

Yes we all know why Sharon Howard has HER job at WDTN. I use to work at WDTN and she was the hardest person to work with and no one did a thing about it. The public has no idea what the REAL Sharon Howard is like and how badly she treats those she works with, but those of us worked there knows. Lucky for her I was never in a position to hire and fire because she would have been long gone.

By I agree with that

Sharon Howard has her job at WDTN for one reason. Anyone who worked there knows the reason as well.

Too bad, WDTN used to be a great place. Guess that’s just like every other TV station in this market. They could care less about the community they are supposed to serve. Just close ‘em all up and let us have cable.

Apparently local news stations don’t know how to report the “who what when where why & how” of the old TV days. I wish Mandi and Mark the best and hope they get out of TV, they’ll be much happier!

I think Steve hit the nail on the head. WDTN got rid of Mandy cause she’s a little chunky. The fault is with WDTN, not with Steve (and others) pointing it out. They keep the skinny no talent reporters and let the intelligent chunky one go.

Wonder if anyone has taken Jim Bucher’s waist measurement lately. He’s not exactly svelte. Of course, he’s man, so it’s okay.

Local advertising dollars are drying up, which equals less income to pay staff members. Still think Carl Nichols is retiring ? I don’t he was probably one of the stations biggest wage earners….NBC is not doing well providing quality programs that people will advertise on either.

Doesn’t mean much in this day of Computer news faster then TV can bring it to us. If the person doing the news is a Female, well endow and has a nice smile, TV news will put her on air. I was in radio for many years. You don’t see their faces there, so many got to know the person, then when they saw our faces, it didn’t matter what we looked like. One thing I don’t like. WHIO Radio news. They give the time as 5:05 pm then say It’s 5 minutes after 5. Well DUH. Many on WHIO should retire..

I don’t know…I don’t really watch the news. It’s easier and faster to read it so I can filter out the morbid stories I hear too much of (crime, death, economic downturn).

I like the young, attractive ones.
