Mike Flannery is a total pro, the best. His success will continue at Fox. His departure is also a death blow for channel 2. The few good people left there can't overcome the horrible leadership of the station. From the rubber stamp decision making of the GM to hiring the former (bad) director of a movie review show to run the newsroom; from management that uses lying and intimidation in place of any actual ability to giving up on airing anything in the morning that's watchable; channel 2 should just turn off the lights and go home.
