Boston TV Newsroom Drama

Newsroom Drama

Sources tell FTVLive that it got really uncomfortable in one Boston Newsroom after the husband of one of the station’s anchors came into the building and confronted a news manager about having an affair with his wife.

It was jaw-dropping for staffers looking on and station insiders say it does not appear much is being done after the incident.

One insider tells FTVLive that the manager accused of having an affair with the Anchor “has been removed from the assignment of talent scheduling as “discipline.””

Not sure how NOT having to do the schedule is considered “discipline”, sound more like a perk to me.

Other than embarrassment, nothing has happened to the Anchor involved.

The staff was sent an internal memo telling them of the change in who will be scheduling them, but nothing about the incident that has tongues wagging in the newsroom.
 
I had something like this happen at a radio station where I worked. The chief engineer was having an affair with the GM's secretary. The secretary's husband found out, and came into the station with a gun. That made things interesting. Neither of the two involved parties seemed like the type.

Those are frightening moments as you never know who the person will shoot.

Had a jock we let go threaten my PD and me and he was seen driving by the station pointing a gun. Cops got him, and he was convicted of carrying a loaded, unlicensed concealed weapon.

Only other time was when my first station was taken over at lunch time by a group of rebels in the Che Guevara style. Beat up the jock, tied him up and read a manifesto on the air before leaving via the trash chute.

Bombs are a different matter... had several cases of those.

And radio is supposed to be safe...

(Now this thread is totally off its tracks...)
 
This is one of those cases where I don't think there's anything to be done. Relationships between co-workers are generally OK, although many companies do not permit supervisors to be in relationship with their subordinates. Thus the re-assignment of scheduling duties.

Whether the relationship is extramarital is none of the employer's business.
