KRMG ANNOUNCES NEWS DIRECTOR HIRE
NewsTalk 740 KRMG is pleased to announce that Dan Potter has been hired as News Director and Assistant Program Director for KRMG, Tulsa’s #1 News, Weather and Traffic Station.
With 25 years in radio journalism, Potter was most-recently News Director and Morning News Anchor for NewsTalk 820 WBAP in Dallas-Fort Worth. In his 13 years as News Director, he helped transition WBAP from a full-service country music station to the Lone Star state’s most listened to and most honored news talk outlet.
Dan has anchored many major breaking news stories and large events including wall-to-wall anchoring during the attacks on September 11, 2001, the Oklahoma City Bombing, the Branch Davidian siege at Mount Carmel, the demise of space shuttle Columbia over North Texas and the inauguration of President Bush.
"Dan Potter brings a level of credibility and achievement compatible with KRMG’s heritage as Tulsa’s radio news leader," says KRMG Operations Manager Drew Anderssen, "We expect him to enhance that image as well as lead KRMG’s on-going effort to expand the station’s online news coverage."

Either he has family there or they are paying him a boat load of money! Who would leave Dallas to go to Tulsa?

Fort Worth Star Telegram undergoing
another round of buy-outs/layoffs
PegasusNews.com
FORT WORTH — The Star-Telegram announced that it is offering buyouts to the majority of regular full-time employees.
"The majority of regular full-time employees", what does that mean, exactly? Because it makes it sound like the newspaper is shutting down or something.
They aren't saying how many employees they want to leave, but they are saying that if there aren't enough people who take buyouts, there'll be layoffs.
The paper already had a layoff in June.

It's not a good time to be going into print journalism.
