When a radio personality or tv news anchor parts ways with a station, the same tired cliches are trotted out to describe their situation and how they feel about leaving.
Bittersweet news
As I close this chapter
adventure of a lifetime
thank you so much for allowing me to earn your trust
and to tell your story
I’m going to turn off my 2am alarm
with a new decade comes a brand new adventure
follow along with my journey
These are common, and were all part of one Sacramento anchor’s statement. Nothing original there.
She also mentioned spending more time with the family, specifically, the holidays.
Of all the announcements of new faces in Seattle tv news, KING 5 seems to have the greatest turnover rate. What is wrong at KING 5? The old Home Team is long gone.
As news comes down about the pending takeover of KCPQ by the FOX Corporation, one wonders who will stay and who will be replaced. Will FOX bring in their own crew, pushing out the current personalities and management?

This blogger was recently unfriended on Facebook by a former acquaintance/coworker after responding to one of their political posts. Apparently, the poster was in no mood to read a differing opinion and would rather only hear from those who are in lock-step with his views.

Add "yeoman's work" to the list of cliches I can't stand. "They've done yeoman's work in raising money for the organization."

Washington Federal was one of the major contributors to that debacle.
