Another Tegna Talent Signed Off

After 7 years at Tegna’s WQAD (Quad Cities), Meteorologist Morgan Strackbein signed off from the station.

Strackbein’s goodbye took nearly 10 minutes. I feel like there should be a rule that your goodbye should not be more minutes than the years you have worked at the station.

1 year, you get one minute to say goodbye. 2 years? Two minutes, and the cap should be set at 3 minutes.

Even if you work 25 years at the station, I feel like 3 minutes is plenty of time to say goodbye.

I always remember a Producer saying in my first job in TV news, “Only the second coming gets two minutes or more!” So, I feel that my 3 minute max is more than enough.

Just saying….

Here is Strackbein’s goodbye. I don’t know if she said what is next for her, I clicked out after about 45 seconds.
