TV Boss’s Interesting Ethics

From The Enterprise Report:

Corsini may not be far behind the Mayor of LA when it comes to raising questions within a newsroom about ethics.  A little known public aspect of his former stewardship of the KCAL/KCBS TV stations as General Manager was his longtime romantic relationship with one of his own Los Angeles news anchor/reporters, a woman named Mia Lee.  Lee worked at KCAL then and still works for KCAL/KCBS now.

Sources past and present at KCAL and KCBS confirmed to TER Corsini’s relationship with anchorwoman Lee.  No one would speak on the record to The Enterprise Report for this story. 

   

Corsini also was responsible for what many in the Los Angeles media world have dubbed the "The Post Game Laker Sex Report".  The broadcast of so-called ‘news’ just after the conclusion of LA Lakers basketball games on KCAL. Corsini’s approach to local "newscasts" is clearly to bring the "news" to viewers with attractive female anchors (dressed provocatively) that appeal to male viewers with stories that somehow involve women and sexual subjects.
The Enterprise Report has also learned of other "questionable" ethical lapes by Mr. Corsini in the past while GM at KCAL-TV in the mid-90’s. One involved then KCAL GM Corsini taking special access to fire illegal assault weapons at an LA area gun range with federal agents-because of his "status" as the GM of the station. The whole episode was a part of a an award-winning investigative story by two of station reporters who were working on a report about the sale of guns by CA law enforcement to the public. Corsini showed up with another station executive and was then provided the special access he sought.  Nobody ever tells the "boss" no right?
