Secret Squirrel got this and we're all of us in sincere and admiring wonderment:
Fox 2 / KPLR 11 have a problem with "anchor" Melanie Moon. She went on a movie-studio funded junket to Tahiti and Bora-Bora (along with Fox 2's Kevin Steincross) to file live fluff via satelitte from Bora-Bora about a movie being filmed there. Steincross did a dozen live shots. Moon missed her plane in Tahiti, didn't make a single live shot, seemingly vanished, never called the station to let them know what happpened or that she was okay, and blew off all of KPLR's promotion about the live shots. Now she has the gal to put postcard pics of Bora-Bora on her Facebook site. Since Ms. Moon is now on a scheduled unpaid furlough, the station can't legally contact her until she returns next Monday. And then, lots of problems may begin.
