<p>Working on a story about filthy conditions at a number of Detroit fire houses, LeDuff approached Wheeler on the street and things instantly went south.</p>
<p>&#8220;You better get the fuck away from me,&#8221; Wheeler told LeDuff once he saw him.  When LeDuff stepped closer to ask a question, Wheeler slapped the microphone out of his hand. <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/detroit-fire-official-removed-from-office-following-run-in-with-wjbk-reporter_b50515#more-50515" class="more-link">continued&#8230;</a></p>

<p>&#8220;While no final departure date has been set, she plans to be with WLWT  through the summer,&#8221; Owen wrote. &#8220;We will share more once her plans become more firm. Please join us in thanking Valerie for four great years as part of  the News 5 team and the Cincinnati community, and in wishing her much  happiness moving forward.”</p>

<title>VIDEO: KABB Reporter Changes Charles Barkley&#8217;s Mind About San Antonio Women</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><iframe width="570" height="321" frameborder="0" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/v48Q8w6CNw0"></iframe></p>
<p>Former NBA star and current NBA commentator <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Charles-Barkley-profile.html">Charles Barkley</a></strong> has made a habit of dissing San Antonio as he covers the Spurs for TNT, going so far as to regularly <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7BscIAK4_8" target="_blank">call the city&#8217;s women fat</a>.</p>
<p>Barkley was in the Alamo City this week as the Spurs competed in the Western Conference Finals, and he was confronted by an excited group of local reporters when he made a public appearance with the city&#8217;s mayor.</p>
<p>Among the collected journalists, was <a href="http://www.foxsanantonio.com/" target="_blank">KABB</a> reporter <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Christina-Coleman-profile.html">Christina Coleman</a></strong>, who Barkley put his arm around and declared, &#8220;I like the women&#8221; (video above&#8211;around 0:54 mark).</p>

<p>Daniel anchored the 5, 10 and 11 newscasts and reported on the &#8220;Your Health Matters&#8221; series for WSBT. TVSpy hears that her contract was not renewed; WSBT news director <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/John-Haferkamp-profile.html">John Haferkamp</a></strong> has yet to respond to a request for comment.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-50409" title="ChrisBlackman" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/files/2012/05/ChrisBlackman.png" alt="" width="125" height="180" /><strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Chris-Blackman-profile.html">Chris Blackman</a></strong> is leaving his news director post at <a href="http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/" target="_blank">WCAU</a>, after more than a decade with the Philadelphia NBC station.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have a bit of news,&#8221; Blackman announced in an email to staff on Wednesday.  &#8220;Eric and I have come to the mutual conclusion that it’s time for new leadership in the newsroom&#8211;time for new ideas and a fresh perspective on what we do.  So after 11 years at NBC10 I will be moving on to see what other adventures life has to offer.&#8221;</p>
<p>Following Blackman&#8217;s announcement to WCAU staff, president and general manager <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Eric-Lerner-profile.html">Eric Lerner</a></strong> followed up to say that being a news director, especially in a major market, &#8220;is the most difficult job in the building.&#8221; <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/chris-blackman-out-as-wcau-news-director_b50401#more-50401" class="more-link">continued&#8230;</a></p>

<title>Miami Stations Air New Video of Cannibal Attack</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-50364" title="Miami_NewCannibalVideo_WPLG-WFOR" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/files/2012/05/Miami_NewCannibalVideo_WPLG-WFOR.jpg" alt="" width="570" height="157" /></p>
<p>All of the local news stations in Miami aired new video today of the gruesome cannibal attack that occurred over the weekend near the <em>Miami Herald</em> building.</p>
<p>The newly released video, taken by a <em>Herald</em> security camera, shows a high-angle long shot of the location where <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Rudy-Eugene-profile.html">Rudy Eugene</a></strong>, 31, appears to have randomly encountered a 65-year-old homeless man, identified as <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Ronald-Poppo-profile.html">Ronald Poppo</a></strong>, and proceeded to chew off a significant portion of his face before a police officer arrived.</p>
<p>The new video was the top story on the noon newscasts of WPLG, WSVN, and WFOR, and WTVJ, which has a half-hour 11 a.m. newscast, played a portion of it during its coverage of the incident today. <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/miami-stations-air-new-video-of-cannibal-attack_b50360#more-50360" class="more-link">continued&#8230;</a></p>
