On September 5, ABC13 WSET sports reporter Dave Walls was let go from his contract.
Question is, nobody seems to know why.
Dave was a great reporter who was placed in a rather tough situation. He came into the job due to the pandemic. WSET had hired another sports director due to retirement of longtime sports anchor and legend Dennis Carter. Problem is that reporter didn't have much to report about due to the health conditions the world unfortunately gave him. So....he quit.
Enter Dave Walls, who had done everything from being a news reporter to doing the weather. And Dave was an excellent sports anchor. Having to cover a department pretty much by himself.
His release has started a public backlash against WSET on social media. Many questioning why WSET seems to be a revolving door for reporters unless you're grandfathered in like three of their anchors.
I know that this topic isn't about "babes", but Dave's release is just another story in the strange world of the news business.
