Both WBIR and WATE had former Ackermann PR employee Mike Cohen as a panelist on their talking head shows today. With all the qualified people in East TN it makes you wonder why him.

Granted before WBIR had to let Bill Shory pack his office up and depart the station, Cohen and Shory were best pals. But with Shory out of the state and not in management at WBIR. It doesn’t make sense why BIR would use a fill in panelist for the #3 station.

But Cohen is probably the only guy that makes it known he is willing and is the only guy that has nothing to do when the phone rings at the last minute and speeds down to the stations.
