Another job placement

Lexy Kohake, May 2008, lands a job as morning producer, with some reporting, at KXRM Fox 21 in Colorado Springs.

Moving on - Pt. 2

The station they're moving to is WMBF. And Shannon leaves WREX in Rockford.

Moving on

Two KUJH-TV alums will be principals in a new start-up TV news operation in Myrtle Beach, SC. Danner Evans, who moves from WSET in Lynchburg, Virginia, will be one of the main anchors, and Shannon Mortimer, who moves from Rockford, Illinois, will be a producer.

Questions For Those Who Got Out

Since those good old days of KUJH, many of us have left the TV world and moved on. I'm thinking it may be time for me to do the same.

Below are some questions, and if any of you would be kind enough to answer them and e-mail me back (or just post them-- I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking of leaving,) I would greatly appreciate it!

What are you doing now?

How did you tailor your resume to your new job, since your new place of employment is different from broadcast journalism?

TVjobs.com is not an option anymore, so where did you look for a new job?

Is the pay better? (Not looking for an exact figure of course, but any ballpark numbers on improvement would be great!)

Do you miss TV? Would you go back? Is leaving worth it?

Thanks again!
