Another Blow

In his latest posting on the SET Political Review, Philip R. Klein's previous prediction comes true:
Reporter and morning Anchor Jessica Holloway has left KFDM for greener pastures according to two sources over at KFDM. She leaves as the company and the newsroom continues to struggle with cut back budgets and being pounded by the other two stations in the gathering of news.
From March 26, 2010:
KFDM Loses Another One - Ashley Rodrigue is gone gone gone. It seems (according to our sources) Ashley is going to Baton Rouge (LSU Baby!) and will take a reporters job. More money - bigger market for a talented young lady. They are really bailing now.
From April 16, 2010:
KFDM - Keep your ears open next week. Here come the changes. Watch for a mass exodus.
Apparently, this slow-motion mass exodus includes two reporters in five months. By my calculations, the entire staff will be gone by August 2037.

Klein didn't mention that Channel 4 couldn't match her salary at channel 6.

Klein didn't mention that he hates KFDM and has been posting under the name 'Drunk Weatherman' for years.

Kline didn't mention that Channel 4 has offered every reporter in the market a job, but no one wants to work for minimum wage.

In Phil's case, he's working for free.
