That is so cool to read TC. She must be over the moon. It's really cool to see our kids out exploring and succeeding.

Well good on her for moving forward and nearing the goals she has. She must be very good at what she does because that is a huge market down there and for the young lady to get into the american market, and a big market, she must be good. Nice to see. I would " melt " in the summer there but a lot love the hot weather. Been there before and lots to do.

I've always wondered why TV personalities seem to be a very transient bunch ? Change of stations and locations seem to the rule, rather than the exception.

I suspect most are moving up to bigger markets, which generally means bigger $. Some probably move for other intangibles (lifestyle, weather, family)....But I suspect it's mostly career advancement. And when you are changing stations, in some cases your contract has a non compete clause so you can't move sideways to another local station, hence a move to another market. That was the case with my daughter.

I think it’s simple economics and experience. They have to start somewhere and those will be small-market newsrooms that will have a correspondingly small budget for salaries. Once people have some experience they move to better paying gigs in bigger markets. It’s not quite like apprenticing in a trade where you might move up within a company or move between the numerous companies where you reside. Calgary for instance has how many TV anchors exactly? Maybe 8-10 per station to split 4 each for the morning and evening shifts? Multiply by 3 or 4 stations and you have only 40 positions for that trade in a city of 1.4 million. Compare that to how many electricians are in town, there are probably 120 new ones getting minted annually.

Congrats to your daughter, TC! You & the Mama as well! Course you'll have to hit the Scottsdale Gun Club for some full auto action.
