Though I was watching KCCI news tonight on WHO-TV at 6. Metinka was the news anchor and Jason Parkin doing the weather.
Dan Winters leaving WHO
- Thread starter ISUcyclones11
- Start date
Weekend coverage on tv stations is weird. Maybe, just maybe, we don’t need 20 hours of local news a day across 4 channels.
Metinka needs to give a sign if they are making her pump CC sunshine up people’s asses
The audience is there & ads can be sold, so there's going to be newscasts. Even at stations where the staffing is extemely thin.
Since the thread about Sonya got shutdown posting this here.
In the article it was revealed that she was making $120k and 3rd highest pay at the station at the time she got let go so they claim her pay had more to do with it than her age. I'm curious who the 2 higher paid than her is, guessing maybe Erin and at the time possibly Dan Winters? If it were not for her high pay she maybe would of had a stronger case about discrimination.
Ex-anchor Sonya Heitshusen loses discrimination lawsuit against WHO TV parent company
The jury found WHO-13 was not motivated by age or gender when it terminated its oldest female news anchor in 2020 as part of a broader layoff.

I would guess Ed Wilson and Keith Murphy might be above Sonya. Just based on their roles and tenure. I could be mistaken.
I would venture a guess that you'd be right about Ed and Keith. Both are long tenured WHO employees with major roles.
At least she found a job with the State at comparable pay.Since the thread about Sonya got shutdown posting this here.

Dang, I thought everyone said the pay isn’t good at these tv stations.Since the thread about Sonya got shutdown posting this here.

That would be my other guesses although I would assume the prime time news anchors usually are your highest paid positions. Now that her salary was made public the lay off sounds more justified as for the limited on-air role she had in mostly non-prime time slots they could fill that role with multiple people for less compensation.
Tenure and having started decades ago like those people goes a LONG way. Reporters are still likely starting at or under $40k.
Her role was significantly larger before her DUI (I think it was a DUI, but there was a mug shot online). At any rate, they kept her on the job but took her face off air as much as possible.
She was lucky not to get fired over that probably as 2 WHO13 people got DUI the same weekend actually. To her credit she rehabbed her image and made some big changes after that including doing iron man competitions.
I know someone who was doing a service call next door to her home when she was still married to her ex husband and witnessed a pretty heated fight between the 2. The neighbor he was doing work for told him it was a common occurrence they'd be outside fighting so she had a dark period going on in her life probably around the same time of the DUI probably.
Saw her at the DSM airport once. She had her triathlon bike and a nice tramp stamp on her lower back. When she turned around though…Yikes! She looked pretty rough. Not nearly all the make up she had on TV, but she was really showing her age.
I'm starting to not like your comments about women who are aging. We don't stay 25 forever, you know.
Sorry about that. It’s the women that want to stay/look 25 forever and will do anything to do it. Be someone you are, not someone else.
I feel my wife is more attractive to me now then when she was 25.
