Demoted in the Twin Cities

At Tegna’s KARE, the station is demoting Anchor Jana Shortal.

KARE is taking her off the air and moving her to a digital only position with the station.

Shortal informed viewers of the news and while doing so, she held back tears.

Queer Minnesota anchor who shamed Arch Manning for laughing at an AI video is on the verge of tears as she tells her fans that she has been booted from her TV show.

Jana Shortal's voice cracked as she told her followers she was demoted to online only.

You love to see it. pic.twitter.com/p4ZevUymXu
