Channel 5 TV anchor, Frank Turner announced he would not be working at Detroit’s WNEM-TV. Turner says he got fired from the station. But WNEM says something else but not the word fire. Viewers of Channel 5 are deeply saddened by the news but have much support for Tuner. They even called out WNEM for being horrible. Get details on what happened with him at the station? Also, find information on Frank’s bio and family. What is his net worth?
Why was Frank Turner let go from WNEM-TV? Was he fired?
Frank was shockingly let go from WNEM over his mask stance. According to Frank Turner, he got fired from his job because he didn’t want to share the studio unmasked with other friends and colleagues. Frank himself didn’t know his action would lead him to this. On September 9, Thursday, Turner went to Facebook and shared his sorrow regarding his departure. He told his followers that he had no idea it’d be his last day at WNEM-TV 5.
WNEM denied firing Tuner? What do they have to say?
After Frank’s social media post, WNEM-TV also gave a statement saying they did not fire or terminate Turner. They mentioned that employees are obviously required to wear masks but only if they can’t socialize. On-air, talents are minimum spaced 6-feet apart which means masks are not needed to wear. Although they did clarify Frank was not fired but said indirect goodbye wishing him all the best for his future endeavors.
It sounds a bit confusing hearing both sides. But because Tuner is not returning to the station anymore, we can conclude that he quit. The station just should have let him wear a mask. There was no harm in that. So this is why Frank is no longer working at WNEM-TV.
