Deuce Hire Raises Some Eyebrows at Fox O&O (Patreon)

Sources tell FTVLive that Fox owned KCPQ in Seattle has hired a new Assistant News Director.

Word is that Sean Kennedy has been hired as the Deuce and insiders tell FTVLive that KCPQ News Director Eric Breon was working to keep part of Kennedy’s past secret. 

While working in San Diego, Kennedy was named in a 2009 lawsuit by a Reporter named Lisa Lake-Campbell: 

In the lawsuit, Campbell made the claims against Kennedy and his actions in the newsroom, where he served as Assistant News Director at KGTV:

Sources inside KCPQ say that Breon asked newsroom leaders, including anchors to keep the information about his new hire's past quiet. 

Insiders tell FTVLive that the stories about Kennedy's past have "made their way around the newsroom."

One on-air staffer told FTVLive, "I can’t think of a single person in the newsroom who isn’t angry that he hired someone like that and went to great lengths to hide it," the Talent said and added, "It’s unfathomable."

Some wonder why Fox, with all their past issues, would go down this road?

The fact that Kennedy was named in a lawsuit, does not make him guilty nor does it not rule him out for the job. 

But, the idea that the boss at the station was asking people to keep the info quiet, doesn't say much for transparency. 

Here is the memo that Breon sent to the staff and was obtained by FTVLive:
