Nick Bender leaving News 9

[Tydude]

wxBender: I've accepted a position at a TV station in Kansas City, MO. Last day on-air in OKC this Sat. Excited, but I'll miss my Okie friends .

Nick Bender.... sounds like a porn star name *lol*

Will not miss him. I've known about him since his days as a student at Penn State from a friend that went to school with him and it was all negative. Plain and simple, the guy is a douche in real life. Hope KC enjoys him.

Ouch. He seems really personable on tv.

You know, I didn't see him that often, but when I did, he always seemed to have this intangible "I'm the coolest guy in the room" vibe coming across. Didn't dislike him, but I sure like someone like Jed Castles much, much more. Jed's just as nice a guy in person as he seems on TV - what you see is what you get. Got to meet him a couple of years ago.

Yeah I have always heard great things about Jed.

I wish him luck. Nick and Karl had good chemistry on the weekends. I was a loyal News9 weekend watcher up until KFOR decided to bring Jolene to sit with Ed at the anchor desk.

Do you think they will stick with 4 weather person or are they going to bring in a 5th weather person

I worked there for over 2 decades and I had to google him to know who we were talking about.
