When I still worked at CBS46, I got the ratings every day, and the ratings showed the morning show was growing. I also take issue with Ella’s remarks about the previous morning show being boring. It also seems like a jealous insult toward Molly McCollum, a former CBS46 meteorologist who was well-liked in the newsroom and lost her job in the Meredith budget cuts.

Not only are they doing more with less people, they now have to hear a co-worker claim that management “made the right decisions” in firing good people who did their jobs well. The sense I get from my former CBS46 colleagues is they are upset. This isn’t the first time Ella has put her foot in her mouth. I wouldn’t be surprised if what Ella said on her now-deleted video is what the news director, Matt King, told her in order to convince her that a move to the mornings is a good thing. Needless to say, it was that take that really pissed off some current and former staffers at the station.Ī number of them reached out to FTVLive and here is the take of couple of those people:Įlla Dorsey’s Facebook live is a perfect example of why you don’t tell her things you want repeated. The Atlanta station, along with the rest of the Meredith station recently went through massive job cuts and Dorsey weighed in on that saying that she agrees with station management as to who they cut and why. Yesterday, FTVLive told you how WGCL (Atlanta) Weather Anchor Ella Dorsey went on a Facebook Live and ended up really pissing off a lot of people that work, or worked at the Meredith station.ĭorsey took to Facebook Live to say that she was moving to the newly rebranded morning newscast (it debuted yesterday) and how the show would be “centered” around her.
