I thought raycom had a Gm training program for their best and brightest. What? No one qualified from with in? So much for all the talk of ” congrates you have been chosen to be trained for a GM job” Good luck to the grads of the program this year. Hope they don’t find an out sider that was let go at anther station.

Having lived in Columbus, GA when WTVM was owned by AFLAC, I remember that WTVM and WRBL were the top stations at that time. The NBC station dropped their local newscast around 1992, and the FOX station didn’t even have a newscast! The new GM has experience, and will keep WTVM competitive.
