Lynette Romero Leaves KTLA 

According to station sources who asked to remain anonymous, Romero no longer wanted to work weekends and had asked management to allow her to work a weekday anchor shift so she could spend more time with her family, but she was told there were no openings. She reportedly has been hired at KNBC-TV, L.A.’s NBC affiliate, as one of its weekday morning show anchors, sources said.

During Saturday’s weekend morning show, Mester, Romero’s co-anchor, went off script with an emotional speech. He apologized, on behalf of the station, to viewers and said the handling of Romero’s exit “was rude, it was cruel, it was inappropriate and we are so sorry.”

He then apologized to Romero, whom he called “his best friend.”

“You did not deserve this, it was a mistake, and we hope you can find it in your heart to forgive us,” Mester said, his voice cracking at times, in a monologue that lasted more than four minutes alongside three of his colleagues.

Many viewers had applauded Mester’s ad-libbed message, but not long after his defense of Romero, Mester was suspended, drawing even more criticism of how KTLA handled the situation.

“Mark was 100% in the right,” tweeted one user. “It’s like you guys are begging to lose all your viewers with this kind of behavior.”

However, newsroom employees described a different scenario, saying Mester, who joined KTLA in 2014, had violated their trust.

Staffers said producers had written a script for Mester to read to send off Romero, accompanied by photos and clips of her broadcasts, which Mester ignored during the segment. He had also hired a plane with a banner to fly over the station with the message “We love you Lynette.” Mester had pitched producers to include footage of the plane in the segment but was rejected.

Staffers said they saw Mester pacing back and forth with an angry look prior to stepping on set for the Saturday segment. He had alerted his social media followers that he was planning to address Romero’s departure on that morning’s show.

After his segment, people in the newsroom said, they saw Mester ignore management’s requests to step into their office for a meeting. At one point, several staffers recalled Mester telling one of the news directors to “shut up” and said he refused to leave the building after being asked to do so.

During the exchange with management, Mester allegedly yelled obscenities that could be heard by other staffers in the newsroom.

Several sources at the station said it was common knowledge that staffers were concerned about Mester’s temper and what was described as his “disrespectful” behavior to women and had complained to management.

“You would not believe the temper tantrums and the weird things that set him off,” said one longtime newsroom employee. “You’re constantly afraid you’re going to say the wrong thing.”

A longtime anchor at the station said he hoped viewers would separate Romero’s choice to leave from Mester’s behavior, which they called “unprofessional” and “reckless.”

“It was supposed to be shown over a script that was warm, loving and appreciative. It was awesome, and [Romero] would’ve loved that,” the anchor said of the goodbye piece that producers had prepared. “Mark hijacked that and made it about him.”

Veteran journalists at KTLA said it is common practice for newsroom managers not to give airtime to talent leaving for a competitor station.

“Our industry has a practice of quickly and quietly releasing team members who move to the competition,” Ashley Regan, a producer for KTLA’s “Weekend Morning News” show, wrote in a statement posted to Twitter following Mester’s outburst. “We may not love the practice, but we know not to take it personally.”
