  1. It might be time for the corporate team to reduce itself and its salaries. They keep buying the local stations, then cut jobs. A vicious cycle with very little regard to local news.

  2. This is truly a loss for WRTV and Indianapolis. I find Marc’s professionalism and integrity refreshing and assuring, which is rare given the current state of news media. Surely WXIN could find other ways to cut costs… corporate salaries perhaps?

    1. Actually John, WRTV is the station cutting Mr. Mullins who, yes, has been an asset. I’m sure that’s what you meant. If anything, WXIN/WTTV are the stations that are either maintaining or gaining momentum. Scripps has seen to it that WRTV is but a shadow, a sliver of its former self. WISH continues to be a player, somewhat diminished in the tv news/digital delivery game. WTHR aint’ what it used to be post-Dispatch, now Tegna, but it still has a decent product. Frankly all the station have diminished talent pools in front and behind the camera. That’s just the way it is, as Walter Cronkite used to say.

  3. From one who spent 37 years in behind-the-scenes news positions at two local stations, David B.’s assessment of the current state of local news is right on the money.

  4. So sad!! I have kept watching this station since I moved back to Indy. This is the last straw for me. He is the best anchor since I returned to Indy several years ago. Seems like the station could make other choices. There are others at the station that do not function as well as some others. So disappointed!!

  5. What we think of on-air personalities, has little to do with this. The longer they stay on air, the more they earn…and long-term on-air personalities become very expensive for the parent company.

    It’s all about money. Don’t believe me?

    Look at some of the cub TV reporters. Their knowledge base is nearly zero, and it shows but…they’re cheaper.
