Man Busted for Assaulting News Crew

A landlord was busted by police after he grabbed the mic from WPEC (West Palm Beach) reporter Lynn Gordon.

Gordon was reporting on the landlord who they say would not repair the broken septic tanks at his property. 

Gordon and photojournalist Frank Porter approached Nabil Kashik as he walked down the street near the property to ask him about the tenant situation. He then grabbed the microphone from Gordon's hand. 

A resident who saw the confrontation called 911. Cops arrived, watched WPEC’s video, and arrested Nabil Kashik for assault later charging him with battery.

Les is More

The highest paid CEO working in New York City is not heading up a big Wall Street firm, or a giant bank.

He's watching over CBS. 

CBS’ Leslie Moonves was the city’s highest-paid chief executive officer, earning $60.3 million last year, according to a new report.

The television exec’s salary was $24 million more than any other CEO in the city, and five times more than the average of other top bosses at CBS, Crain’s New York Business reported.

A CBS spokesman defended Moonves’ pay, noting the Tiffany Network has posted record profits under his leadership. The broadcast network’s net income increased 6% and it has claimed the top spot among major television channels in the key 18-to-49-year-old demographic.

Ralph Lauren came in second, earning $36.3 million in 2012, according to just-compiled data by GMI Ratings, an advisory firm.

Off the Late Newscast

Longtime WBAY (Green Bay) Anchor Bill Jartz has been missing from the station's 10 p.m. newscast.

Word is that Jartz underwent surgery on a torn quad muscle following an accident.

Doctors orders are not letting he drive as he recovers and the station is doing him a solid by not making him work the late newscast.  

He can still be seen on the 5 and 6 p.m. newscasts. Jartz has been an anchor in the 10 p.m. slot since 1998.

Across the street at WFRV, the station has hired retired WLUK, Channel 11, meteorologist John Chandik as a temporary weekend replacement until they find a permanent one for longtime meteorologist Tom Mahoney, who retired last month. 

Not you're caught up on the anchor changes in Green Bay. 

Do you feel better?  

Buffalo Reporter Leaving

WKBW reporter Kyla Igoe has given her notice and is leaving the station after more than five years as a backpack journalist.

Mike Nurse, who officially will be the station's general manager in two weeks, confirmed her departure. He said it was Igoe's decision to opt out of her contract "to focus on her family and to work with with her husband in his videography enterprise."

"We appreciate her efforts and wish her well in her new ventures," added Nurse.

Igoe is the daughter of former WGRZ consumer reporter Mike Igoe. She could not be reached immediately for comment.

Nurse added the station will soon be announcing a variety of new additions that will include Igoe's replacement.

Someone Was Snooping on Sharyl's Computer

CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson claimed in May that she thought he computer had been compromised.

Now, CBS News says that she was right.  

CBS has released this statement: 

“A cyber security firm hired by CBS News has determined through forensic analysis that Sharyl Attkisson’s computer was accessed by an unauthorized, external, unknown party on multiple occasions late in 2012. Evidence suggests this party performed all access remotely using Attkisson’s accounts. While no malicious code was found, forensic analysis revealed an intruder had executed commands that appeared to involve search and exfiltration of data.

This party also used sophisticated methods to remove all possible indications of unauthorized activity, and alter system times to cause further confusion.

CBS News is taking steps to identify the responsible party and their method of access.”
