Maybe I haven’t been paying attention or maybe, truth be told, I just didn’t miss her enough to notice. Whatever, I thought I had a mini-scoop this afternoon when I found out that Fox 4 had severed ties with long-time sports reporter Nita Wiggins.
That is, until I read it here. From, duh, like a month ago. (Credit where credit is due. See how that works? Novel, eh?)
To her fans, Nita “Sweeta” Wiggins’ sports stories were gently woven like a soft, comfy blanky. Always positive. Never edgy. Sappy sure, but safe.
To her critics, Nita “Clue” Wiggins’ sports stories were embarassingly shallow and ridiculously rah-rah. Always positive. Never edgy. Sucky sure, but, well, sucky.
When news happens, Dallas Observer is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If the Dallas Observer matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Either way, it’s never good to see a familiar face canceled out of our limping media industry. Wiggins hasn’t been replaced, leaving anchor Mike Doocy and reporter Max Morgan as an over-worked, under-appreciated two-man team.
