I saw that Emmis has dropped Traffic.com and gone back to Metro. With that I have noticed fewer traffic reporters on the air. The news anchors are doing the reports themselves during the day. And Terri Stacey has now been relegated to doing traffic reports on the morning show. At least, that's the only time I hear her anymore.

Back when the Cumulus Stations were still Locally owned by Susquehanna. WFMS, WGRL both Left Metro for about 3 years as well only to return to metro
At least Terri is on the air...for a while, she was doing an occasional recorded interview--and that's all. This may be a step up for her.RDO said:I saw that Emmis has dropped Traffic.com and gone back to Metro. With that I have noticed fewer traffic reporters on the air.

Pretty soon they'll have her out at the front desk, greeting visitors and answering the phones.
Wait a minute...

I've heard Terri fill in for Ed Wank on the afternoon show several times recently. I thought she did a nice job. She sounded intelligent and informed. A far cry from when she was relegated to the dumb blonde role she had with Pig.

The WIBC weather line is saying that Tsunami warnings are in effect for Hawaii, and gives a Friday through Wednesday forecast. I guess she could do that.
Regardless of the logic in placing her in traffic, she sounds really good doing them & actually gets to interact with Stever again...something that wasn't happening when she was doing those pitiful canned 'reports'.lonnie said:At least Terri is on the air...for a while, she was doing an occasional recorded interview--and that's all.

Or is this a set up for her???? Shame to have her treated this way.
