“DARK MOTIVATIONS” AT CHANNEL 11?

An alert FBvian lets us know that News Blues has a ditty today about Brian Custer’s departure from Channel 11. And since it’s a subscription site, I’ll share the item:

Dallas Viacom O&O KTVT-11-CBS has parted ways with sports reporter Brian Custer, and black-oriented Dallas Weekly Magazine reports that some squeaky wheels in the local black community are hinting at dark motivations.

“I am not pleased at all,” said Thelma Youngblood, during a radio call-in show. “I am calling management and I am going to tell them how I feel. And I am very upset.” Youngblood is a self-described “media monitor” and a member of the “Warriors,” who protested media companies in the 1990s.?

Custer was replaced at KTVT by former Dallas Maverick Derek Harper, who is also black.

Thelma Youngblood is not impressed. “He is in no way of the caliber of Brian Custer. I am not impressed at all!”

Custer’s agent, Steve Herz, tells us that his client has landed nicely on his feet with the New York Mets network, Sportsnet NY.
