G+_Jeremy Techtmann Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Leo Laporte, I obviously don't know the behind the scenes details, but I am a regular listener of TNT and I truly believe that replacing Tom Merritt is a decision you will regret rather quickly! He runs a tight ship, starts and ends his shows on time and knows his stuff. I really don't know what more you could expect from an anchor, unless it's to pay him less?

G+_Jake Sunsted Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Leo explained it quite well in the chatroom: http://pastebin.com/ckGCZce5 (transcript). It isn't a problem with TNT but that Leo wants an inhouse news director for his future news coverage plans. I don't see this direction as particularly successful. Which is why I strongly disagree with not renewing Tom Merritt 's contract. Also, Leo always says that on-air talent is the most restricted resource for his company.. so they should be glad to pay salary for both Tom Merritt and Mike Elgan , and not just pick one.
