Seattle, WA In fact, managers were using the line to calm a nervous staff. This could be nothing , they seemed to say. Things were not perfect under Fisher Communications' management, to be sure.

Resources were tight, made even more lean by management hoping to appeal to potential suitors. But during the conference in Las Vegas, chatter spread that there was a bidding war going on for the station. Sinclair was not the household name back then as it has become in recent months. But for those in TV, it was already well known. But it went beyond political beliefs.

More than that, they were known as formulaic, unconcerned with the nuances of local markets. Sinclair, more than any other media conglomerate, was seen as a departure from the local connection KOMO was so proud of.

Then the purchase happened in Spring of , days after the conference. And when it did, some on the staff began to panic. It wasn't until Donald Trump that viewers had ever wondered who Sinclair was. But for the newly-pilloried staff of KOMO — met in recent months and days by social media demands that they quit — the complicated relationship is several years old.

Staff have chafed at the new ownership while also understanding the weak job prospects of a dwindling media landscape. The entire KOMO staff filed into a spare studio to see their new bosses sitting in a row, confirming some fears: They were all white men, save for the HR director, who was a white woman.

This does not bode well, this person remembered thinking. Current and former KOMO employees, who requested anonymity for fear of retribution, speak with pride about their station, especially in the pre-Sinclair days. Staff wanted their new corporate owners to acknowledge that. But the corporate executives failed in that first meeting. Instead they talked at length about the station in Waco, Texas, a city one sixth the size of Seattle. On a scale of the meeting was a zero. That first meeting was so bad, in fact, Smith returned a short time later to offer, not an apology so much as an explanation.

One employee had colleagues at other Sinclair stations who, before the KOMO sale, had warned about these segments. As feared, after the purchase, corporate soon started handing down the segments to KOMO. Holly Gauntt, the news director at the time, was praised by several employees for resisting their airing from the start, running them in the middle of the night, away from the eyes of viewers.

But there was only so much she could do. There were also the layoffs in October , which corporate made Gauntt carry out, often with tears in her eyes, say some staff.

Media reports at the time list around 20 people let go, but according to one employee, it was closer to 40 when you include corporate staff with Fisher. Among the layoffs, the KOMO librarian, a woman known for her ability to dig up both archival footage and documents to push stories forward.

No one replaced her. Coinciding with the layoffs, Sinclair began cost-cutting. They added more newscasts, but not reporters. It was a cheap way to eat up air-time. Longtime staff members perceived they were being pushed out to make room for cheaper, less experienced replacements.
