Back in halcyon days at Channel 6, employees used to spend their working hours griping and grumbling about news director Lyn Tolan.
Tolan, who earned a reputation as a bit of slave driver before her retirement earlier this year, even had her own nickname: “Ayatolyn.” But employees at WSYX are in no mood to come up with clever word-plays these days. The station’s recently hired news director, Mitch Jacob, may be stifling the creative environment a bit.
Jacob, a Toledo native, started in “June.” And he lives in “Grandview.” Things at the station are “good.” Those one-word answers are about as chatty as Jacob was willing to get this week, not exactly batting away his fast reputation for being distant and unreadable. But it’s not his personality that bugs news staffers as much as Jacob’s ability to lower the ax with no warning.
