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

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?
Our Christmas wish: One of the Seattle radio stations stunting with Christmas music, might switch to John Sebastian’s WOW Factor format on December 26th. Probably not.
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. Although we have used FB and other social media for (blog) promotional purposes, FB is generally home for the very needy, the attention seekers. That is one man’s opinion.

The _____________ you didn't know you needed.
"It's a weather warn day today. @KClarkWx breaks down what you need to know on your Wednesday." - Kelly Koopmans @KellyKOMO4
I'm guessing she means warning. But, is it really so important that I need to know it? Is it so complicated that we need to break it down? Is that going to take very long?
Maybe she just misspelled "worn". She could be warn out, poor thing, from enduring those complicated cold weather wormings.
One that Dan Lewis used for a while:
"Blah blah blah, and here's why."

Another phrase we hear too often: That begs the question
Another phrase we hear too often: Speaking truth to power.
Defined as: Stand up for what's right and tell people in charge what's what. That's the idea behind the phrase speak truth to power, an expression for courageously confronting an authority, calling out injustices on their watch, and demanding change.
We used to call that: Mouthing off
