Dudzik Out at KMTV

KMTV-3 – Omaha's CBS affiliate – has apparently fired News Director Ken Dudzik. The receptionist at KMTV today (Sept. 19) said, "He no longer works here." We have calls in and hope to have more details by the end of the day. Look to OmahaCityWeekly.com and its Media Watch blog later for the complete story.

Tom Brady's knee says Perrault is gay.

Rumor has it that Travis Justice is taking over as News Director at Channel 3rd.....for what it's worth.....he turned down Bristol to stay in his adopted home town of Omaha.

this is way more cool than that in-house blog they have.

What happened to Perrault's precious Patriots yesterday? Gangsta-slapped by the Fins? Go Drziewa Bills!

That's about the only way they could keep Travis from going to Bristol. Just put him in charge, it's way overdue. This might force the boys at the worldwide leader in sports to make a better offer. The radio/TV combo still seems to make the most sense.

Bring back Bredow.

So when will they announce Travis got the job? The sooner, the better would seem to make sense.

KMTV has a news department? I saw one their commercials recently and thought it was probably for some tabloid entertainment show. BTW, is Joe Jordan still dead???

Anonymous said...

No, but his career is at Channel Third. The only survivor is Travis. How? Only God knows...or maybe The Perrault. They are one and the same you know.

This is kind of like the end of the Mary Tyler Moore Show when all of the competent news people were fired Mary Richards, Lou Grant (aka Deb Ward, Greg Peterson) and the only one that keeps their job is Ted Baxter (aka Travis Justice). That's life in the minor leagues fellas.

By the way JEFF Jordan is the one from the 70's......

This just in from the ratings war....KXSP (aka Big Sports 590) is claiming a ratings VICTORY as they have wrestled 19th place in the Omaha market ratings away from KMA in Shenendoah in the latest trends! Expect a glowing press release on this one Jim on your email.........can't wait to hear the new promos on THAT ONE!

If Joe Jordan was Ken Dudzik, would he have fired himself?

Why you guys keeping ragging on Travis?

Just saw the trends as well and, uh oh Matthew, you...you are not doing so good are you? Better get that resume updated.

At this point, KMTV would be better off if they just got rid of their local news operation. KNDL, St. Louis' ABC affiliate doesn't have a regular local newscast; nor does WWJ-TV, Detroit's CBS station. And both are in larger markets. Being an avid local news watcher, it pains me to suggest this, but it would be much less costly for JBG to just pull the plug on this patient than to continue providing life support for KoMaTV-3. If only there were ANY hope that Channel 3 could somehow come back to life. I just don't see it happening.

correction: The St. Louis ABC affiliate is KDNL, not KNDL. Please forgive.

Who's next to go at KM? EP? Producers? Anchors? Reporters?

I think nightly repeats of the informercial telling people that they have up to 15 lbs of waste in their bowel system would get better ratings than Channel 3 news and looking at Travis Justice's mug shot every night!

8:22 - Even if you don't like Travis (and I certainly don't), isn't your comment a bit out of bounds? I mean, I know we're all bravely posting our comments with the cloak of anonymity, but come on.

I'm shocked and awed that Perrault hasn't commented that somebody called him out on his ratings...usually he cries, pisses and moans when people tell other people the truth. Especially if it is not his version of the truth.

I have The Perrault on a very short leash. I will let him loose soon for him to post his usual verbal diahrrea, then will put him back in his cage. His days ARE numbered in Omaha, of that you can count on.

I don't care for Perrault just as much as the next guy, but DA TROOF needs to STFU.

Perhaps when Perrault DOES finally get canned, you can take your one-trick-pony to another news blog in whatever town he resurfaces.

I am a winner! I am God in this town! I am great and gosh darn it, people like me...

I am a ratings God! So suck on that one folks...! HA!

But if what if The Perrault gets fired...what will happen to Travis?

Hello....You "hope(d) to have more details by the end of the day"

That was a week ago...any new info?

Hey 9:01 -- if you don't watch your mouth, I'll be coming after you next, just as soon as I get Perrault shipped off to some backwoods 500-watter in Kentucky where his talents are most needed.

And that day is coming very soon, my friend...because I am...

"DA FOOL" aka City Media Watch blog's resident "tough guy" -

Come after me? Wow...but, how will you find me? Better yet, maybe I should come find you to help make it easier for you.

Based on a previous post of yours, you're at a Runza on Q Street, correct? Which shift do you work the register? I'll let you know who I am when I place my order.

DA TROOF is still in his mom's basement, very near his dungeons and dragons board and still looking for that great job at age 38.

DA TROOF almost once had a girlfriend but sadly the prostitue he tried to hire turned him down. She wouldn't take fifty three cents, a Magic the Gathering card, and a piece of lent even though it was a very slow night.

DA TROOF probably stalks The Perrault and actually wants to be more like The Perrault. I doth sense to much protesting when The Perrault's name is raised in this forum....perhaps matching the same strange rise in his pants that DA TROOF feels when he listens to The Perrault.

Anonymous said...

10:04 am and 12:01 pm - Sounds like the two of you ought to consult The Perrault on anal cleansing and lubrication techniques... just in case DA TROOF does get that rise in his pants!

Ahhhh yes....the bitterness and resentment from those lesser beings with such pathetic lives who only WISH they could be as great and powerful as I.

Sorry, ladies...but your pathetic attempts at vocalizing your true envy and your empty threats and accusations will not deter the reality that stands before you.

I am the alpha AND the omega. I am be all and end all, and I am I. I am...

Why does DA TROOF even bother? I can't believe his welfare check has enough left over after liquor, cigs and a Snickers bar to pay for internet service...oh wait, he is probably at the library typing his "insightful" retorts.

He is also the reason why screens are put up so no one else can see what he is doing while he is typing with one hand while scanning over The Perrault's blog.
