Sunny California is not living up to its rep. Tons of rain are or have hit the San Francisco, Sacramento, Lake Tahoe areas. Wind, and lots of needed rain. Along for the weather ride is GREG SLEEPER, now back on the west coast from his time in Boston at WCVB. He’s the Assistant Creative Services Director of KCRA, the Hearst NBC affil in the Cali capital. Greg was at once-amazing KLAS in Vegas before joining Hearst in Bean Town and now Sacto. Well Dunne! Greg.

The first of any year always brings some retirement news, and thus it is with 2023. Stepping down from her GM slot at WVIT in Hartford is former promo pro DIANNE HANNES, who was a fixture for her work at WMAQ in Chicago. She’s someone who’s going to be most missed in the biz. Well Dunne! for all you’ve done, Dianne.

Frankly it’s more than odd…it’s incomplete. To post a job and not use the calls for the station, just the ownership group and city. It’s totally lazy imo and unacceptable. Anybody want to defend that? Curious to hear the thinking behind the choice.
