OMC has obtained a copy of an email sent to employees from KATU News Director Don Pratt:
I have the unfortunate duty of announcing that Brian Barker’s time at KATU is coming to an end. Brian has decided to pursue opportunities outside of TV news. I appreciate Brian’s desire to seek opportunities that are more conducive to his important role as a husband and father, but I regret that we will be without Brian’s energy, creativity, and enthusiasm for the big story. Brian has been someone I could always count on, and I have enjoyed having him on our team.
Please join me in thanking Brian for everything he has done for KATU over the years, and wishing him well on his next adventure.
Brian’s last day will be July 12 (and yes, Brian, you need to give the Blackberry back).
Good luck, Brian, on your future pursuits! (And we knew something was up! ;-)
