Inside scoop
The Salt Lake Tribune reports today that "Kevin Eubank [is] leaving KUTV." Eubank is a weatherman who is leaving his TV gig to pursue business opportunities elsewhere. As noted at the end of the story, KUTV (Ch. 2) and the Tribune have a "news-sharing partnership." Although the story says Eubank hasn't been on the station's broadcasts for two weeks and his contract expired yesterday, Eubank's photo still appears at the top of KUTV's web page.
Regarding "news-sharing partnerships" between TV news operations and newspapers, both parties are often reluctant to share information. The print folks don't want to scoop themselves by giving something to TV that will be on air before the papers hit the streets. I was in south Florida recently to visit a major newspaper there, and the understanding that exists between print and broadcast people centers around the print reporters giving up their information in exchange for the television reporters providing the gory details on any car wrecks, which they seem to cover very well.
