CBS denied that it refused to hire popular reporter Tammy Dombeck Campbell because of her age. The job went to a 24-year-old former NFL cheerleader.
Michele Gillen was a reporter for CBS’ WFOR-TV Channel 4 in Miami. She sued her former employer, alleging age and sex discrimination.
. CBS admitted no liability in the agreement. In her court filings, Gillen called CBS a “good ole boys club” that “protects men despite bad behavior.”The Texas stations are part of New York-based ViacomCBS, which owns 29 television stations, including two Dallas/Fort Worth stations: KTVT Channel 11 and KTXA Channel 21.
“We need to look at everyone on this show, including the anchors,” one station executive wrote, mentioning a veteran female anchor who the manager said was “starting to look outdated and tired.” But instead of hiring Campbell, CBS station executives in Dallas recruited a 28-year-old reporter, Amanda Zitzman, who had worked in Jacksonville, Fla. Zitzman, who lacked the requisite five years of experience, testified that she had never been to Dallas before her CBS job interview.
