Tribune confirmed to TVSpy it has parted ways with Tina Luque, news director at Norfolk, Va., CBS affiliate WTKR.
Before being informed of her dismissal, Luque posted a photo of her office door, decorated for her birthday–complete with a wheelchair and “Caution: Slow Senior” sign–by newsroom employees, who planned to celebrate with her today:
My office today. When I find out what grumpy old man did this…. #funny utmost pic.twitter.com/1EdHZqza1C
