WKRN News 2 and its veteran reporter/photographer Jerry Barlar — known for his live morning show reports from his car during bad weather and breaking news — parted ways suddenly Aug. 7, according to a copy of an email sent to Channel 2 employees and obtained by The Tennessean.
The two-sentence email read, “Jerry Barlar no longer is an employee at WKRN News 2. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.” It came less than three weeks after Barlar received a 35-year service plaque from the news outlet.
Station vice president and general manager Mike Spruill declined to comment, saying in an email, “It is against Nexstar Policy to comment on Personnel Issues.”
