Houston media blogger Mike McGuff gets a statement from KBTX about the discrimination allegations by former chief meteorologist Bob French:
The KBTX family is disappointed to learn from other media outlets that our former colleague and friend Bob French has chosen to file a Charge of Discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission stemming from his employment here. KBTX and Gray Television respect the privacy of the employment relationship, and accordingly, will not litigate matters related to Mr. French’s employment in the press. KBTX, however, will defend itself vigorously against Mr. French’s allegations and is confident that upon reviewing the record, the EEOC will conclude that Mr. French’s allegations are utterly without merit.
