Detroit News Director Fired On First Day of Work



On his first day of work, new WADL news director Matt Stevens was met by station security and informed that per direct instructions from CEO Kevin Adell, his services would no longer be needed at WADL TV Detroit. Stevens was escorted from the station property by security.

According to a news release, Stevens was selected by the station's now also fired consultant, Kevin  O'Brien to serve as the station's News Director. O'Brien was terminated on February 23rd by CEO Kevin Adell for inappropriate conduct. No official word on exactly what that conduct was.  Sure was a short tenure, though!
