Over the past 20 years WDIV News 4 has welcomed new generation as news anchors. However some are let go and others resigned to for new job opportunities. Weather Anchorman Brandon Roux say 'Adieux' to Channel 4 News to new career opportunities.

The last of the old regime!
This all started when they brought Kim Adams back from her 10 year long vacation, and made her chief meteorogist, a job Andrew Humphries should have been promoted to. That's why Andrew left. And now the exodus begins.
I'm pretty sure she left to have and raise her children. I don't disagree that maybe Andrew or Brandon should've gotten consideration first, this is just the second time [[first was on the Detroit subreddit) this morning I've seen her demonized for simply returning, and it's truly disrespectful.Quote:

Stay in your lane dude...Quote:

Not that she's not competent or knowledgeable. But Andrew earned that job! I'm guessing that it didn't matter...WDIV management has their vision and as such has made numerous personnel changes in the past year or so. I like most of the new hires. And I still think WDIV's staff and production is far better than its local competition.
You ask your mammy the same....since you want to be snarky.Quote:

They come and they go. When I left Detroit, Jerry Hodak was still #1.
Sonny Eliot.

When you talk to Sonny Eliot about his career, you're talking about the history of television. This interview, in 1997, celebrated 50 years on the air.
I'm all about the Ashley Baracy.
I always felt Brandon Roux was uncomfortable on screen - or, at least, that's how he made me feel. Kim Adams is ok. Andrew Humphries did the job well but didn't crush it, I didn't think.

Ch 4 has sucked for a looooooong time.
I always wondered why Paul Gross wasn't the Chief Meteorologist.
... Hopefully Tati Amare gets to stay on Live in the D.
I liked it best when it first launched with Guy Gordon and Karen Drew.Quote:
