Siedlecki targeted, Joplin insulted by Omaha blogger



Jimmy Siedlecki's confident, authoritative, but friendly anchor demeanor has been sorely missed at KODE since he left the station to rejoin former KODE 5, 6 and 10 p.m. co-anchor Malorie Maddox has co-hosts of a morning show at WOWT in Omaha, Neb.
Since his arrival in the Cornhusker state, however, Siedlecki has been targeted by Ted Brockman, whose blog "Omaha TV News" covers that city's media happenings.
Initially, Brockman criticized Siedlecki's appearance, saying he looked like Gomer Pyle. In an entry yesterday, Brockman again verbally attacked Siedlecki and took a gratuitous potshot at Joplin while he was at it:

"The Daybreak format, virtually unchanged since it was adopted a decade or so ago, has long since worn thin, and instead of improving the program, Jim Siedlecki has pulled co-anchor Malorie Maddox and the whole show down to his level. It's not that he's bad; it's just that he's only a Joplin, Missouri brand of good. In other words, he's not cut out to be an anchor in a market this size."
