Local News Sucks Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Now she can wear bikinis year round. Chloe Vincente announces she’s leaving for Alabama. Did John Solak’s expose chase her out of here sooner than planned? To her credit she looked and sounded good on TV and could read. That’s far more than we are used to in Binghamton media.

Endwellian Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 For a few days John was posting pictures of her in swimwear, and did a poll asking if it was appropriate for a news anchor to be posting pictures of herself in bikinis.

He’s wrong on a lot actually. More so than not he embellishes. He’s now trying to take credit for forcing her out of BNG to Birmingham. Yeah ok John, I’m sure it has nothing to do with her going to a bigger market in her career like 90% of people do at local affiliates when they start their broadcast careers.

guest11 Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 He’s not that far off actually. My family has done advertising with WBNG for well over 30 years. I’ve spoken with many salespeople, management, even on air staff during promotions we were involved in. The culture at WBNG has long been very conservative. Management expects their staff to conduct themselves a certain way in public. From how they dress to where they hang out. About 15 years ago, just when it seemed like things were changing, there were several instances of a WBNG reporter going out all the time and getting beaten up on State Street. WBNG even sided with him, and blamed the Binghamton Police for roughing the reporter up. Appearing on tv with a black eye. Then he went out and did it again the next weekend. At the point WBNG reigned their staff back in, the stricter rules were put in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pelo Honey Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Was she posting those on their FB or her own? I think it's kinda tacky for her to be posting sex kitten pics as a news anchor, whether she looks good or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 I think she looks nice. You would think Mr Solak had never heard of Annette Funicello. http://images.app.goo.gl/1uBACm7CMwRSoCUHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was chatting with a WBNG reporter about 5 years ago at an event she was covering. She told me she got a second job waiting tables, to help pay her bills, because WBNG starting pay was so low. And WBNG made her quit, because the restaurant served alcohol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bballcoach Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Whether you agree with John or not, he knows how to create a buzz, and gets people talking about what's on his mind. He's a pretty good promoter. And I think Chloe looks great. Sorry to see her go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaz Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 I don't see how that picture can be considered even close to being anything scandalous or indecent. It's a female on a beach in a bikini. And she's a reporter not a nun in a monastery. You see way more scandalous/questionable stuff on prime time TV. Binghamton is just a step on the media staircase - anyone who has ambition, talent, and no ties to the area isn't going to stick around here. Best of luck Chloe.
