Allen Media Executives Coming to Town (Patreon)

The internal memo went out to one Allen Media station that they need to clean up their work area, as the bosses are coming to town.

The staff at Allen Media's KEZI in Eugene is about to get a visit from the company's CFO and the Senior VP of Finance.

Normally when the corporate suits visit a TV station, it is more than just a couple of bean counters. In an internal memo sent to the staff, the KEZI says "This is a GREAT Thing!" I have never seen a situation where just bean counters come to town and it ends up "great", but we'll just have to wait and see.

The email said that attendance is mandatory for all staff.

Speaking of being cheap, the staff also received another internal memo, telling them that The Weather Channel is taking over a big portion of the weather duties at the station. This means the weather forecast for Eugene will be presented from nearly 2,700 miles away in Atlanta.

So much for your local news.

Here is the email about The Weather Channel taking over, followed by the email addressing the mandatory meeting with the bean counters.
