Former St, Louis Anchor to Get her Day in Court
/
It is a long time coming, but Former KMOV Meteorologist Meghan Danahey is set to get her day in court next week.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Danahey, whose legal name is Meghan Hodge, filed a sex and age discrimination lawsuit in January 2021, against the station's owner, Meredith Corporation.
The suit also names KMOV News Director Scott Diener as a defendant.
Danahey was hired by KMOV as a Meteorologist in 2014 and worked weekday mornings and afternoons.
Danahey's suit alleges that in February 2018, Diener planned to remove her from her time slots and reassign them to lead meteorologist Steve Templeton and Kent Ehrhardt, both men.
The suit also claims that she was demoted to weekend broadcasts and assigned to general-reporting duties, an area in which she had no experience.
KMOV eventually fired her and she is suing for a minimum of $75,000 across three separate claims of discrimination, retaliation and emotional distress.
Her trail is set to start on June 13th.
