Leaving KOMO before her name makes the SINCLAIR hit-list of expendable employees, Lindsay Cohen takes a “real job” at online real estate website Zillow. We wish her well!!

And how did Cohen describe her time at KOMO in a Facebook comment

Not the first time a TV or radio personality has fallen back on the phrase, “It’s been a wonderful ride.” But, that is a bit played out. This is usually followed with “but I am happy to be able to spend more time with family.”

Someone needs to come up with a couple new phrases to describe leaving a media job.

“I saw the writing on the wall…”

“I read the trades and knew it was only a matter of time…”

“They said I could stay – but they wanted to cut my pay…”

“This is what happens when you become the most senior person at the station…”

“I feel like I’m ridin’ a gravy train on biscuit wheels.”

“Time to kick the dust of this place off my boots.”

“I’ve had more fun than a tornado in a trailer park.”

“I feel like I’ve been sucked through a knot hole.”

NOW, THIS…

And now… another in a series of hard news stories related to what we see as a growing epidemic – a wave of crime sweeping across the broadcasting industry. These gritty tales of the darkside of the media nationwide, and the players behind these despicable acts, will appear as details become available. All details will remain UNCENSORED.
The Biloxi, Mississippi Sun-Herald reports: WCPR-FM host Denver Crabb was arrested Monday morning by Biloxi police. The methamphetamine charge is a felony and Crabb’s bond was set at $5,000.
