Joe you are a great guy. I wish you the best. Too KARK could not get rid of Mark Rushing and let you be the full time anchor. Did anyone see Bo Mattingly on KARK tonight doing a report from Jacksonville, Florida? I hope he does not become a part of the KARK team.
Get used to it Little Rock. KNWA and KARK are full-fledged partners. Bo Mattingly and Mike Olmestead are going to be doing a lot of duel reports for both markets.
What happened to Beau McCastlain?
Could you take Mark Edward from THV with you?
And what about Eric Sullivan?
and maybe Holgate from FOX?
It is too bad that we are losing Joe. He is a great sports anchor and he seems to have what it takes to go even higher. Good luck in Phoenix.
Joe Pequeno is a tremendous talent and he deserves to be in a market that has multiple major league sports. And he also deserves better station ownership than Nexstar. Good luck to him and his family.
I see the door still revolves at KARK... does anyone stick around?
Joe Pequeno is a class act. He puts his heart into everything he does. Joe is a talented high energy sports guy who has the awards to back it ups. He's not just a great sports man- he's a great husband and father. I'm proud to call him my friend and proud of his success. He'll be missed in the KARK newsroom.
Best of Luck!!
Enough about Joe,Now could someone please tell Becky how HOT I am!
I think my fake giggle when I try to ad-lib is really getting to her.
WN.
Thank goodness Joe is gone... what a joke. He was all flash and no substance. Did you see his LAST show here... using a Michael Jackson photo and a Jennifer Lopez photo sandwiched in with his sports stuff? What an idiot ... that's junior high stuff.
Speaking of gone... is Alice Stewart engaged???
She was wearing a major ring on that finger Sunday night.
His farewall speech on Sunday night was OVER DONE. He is a sub par sports guy with an above average ego. He was only here 2 1/2 years and he gave a goodbye like he was here for thirty.
You would think it was Paul Eells retirement or something. By the end of the week everyone in Arkansas will have forgotten Joe. He wasn't that good.
A question for Joe....
How many bags do you take on an ego trip?
Thank GOD he's gone. No more of that annoying, KARK 4 Sports, "In Your Future" line he would use to tease sports. Awful, just awful.
"By the end of the week everyone in Arkansas will have forgotten Joe."
Forgot him? Who is this guy? I've never even seen him.
Joe was all about Joe... I assume he's following Rick to Phoenix?
Rick is going to the CBS affiliate. Joe is going to the NBC affiliate.
So now who does Alice get to work with on weekends? Maybe we could get Ernie and his exciting brand of journalism to do sports ????
Will they replace Joe? No help wanted ad on the internet? Maybe Joe knows more than we do about the restructuring of the sports department.
Hey wait... I know what they're doing!
Alice and Tracy are already the oldest female duo in the market... by far. So now they're probably going to bring a mid-40s sports reporter in to go after that older viewers ?
You are so right. Mark will hurt anyone that gets in his way. He will lie, cheat, and destroy someone to get or keep a job.

Yeah, experienced, knowledgeable people suck. Let’s have more novice know-it-alls like Vittert!
Just to let it be known it's a reporter/producer position. Sure some anchoring is involved, but KPNX doesn't have a full-time sports porducer and is trying to fill 2 jobs with one person. And they expect this person to shoot (in market 15) Mark Casey is a joy to work for!
To the poster two up:
Experience, knowledge and skill are wonderful.... in radio! For television, we want hotties! It's sad but it's true.
Joe is gone!
The means viewer happiness is IN YOUR FUTURE !
Joe should be the one staying. He would be a great sports director.
Mark Rushing is terrible as a sportscaster and sports director.
KARK made a big mistake when they stabbed Carlton Wing in the back.
I agree that Mark is awful... very boring. He just runs clips of national sports highlights and doesn't even read very well. The main reason people watch KARK is because of Jancey.
Mark and Joe didn't get along, did they ?
The main reason people watch KARK is because of Jancey. ?
All three of them.
All three of them.... what ?
JOE'S SPORTS CALL: The pimp-daddy took the pigskin for an outta sight flight... and it floated and flickered to his homeboy... prancing pretty all alone... for the sweet seven... dumping the D into the doghouse!
INTERPRETATION: The quarterback threw a touchdown.
To the above poster: That's is so on target. Classic!
I wish they would replace Mark. He is just terrible. He tries to get the station to hire subpar talent to make him look better but he was mistaken with Joe. Joe has gained a huge fan base and it began to scare Mark so he did what he could to send Joe packing.
Joe gained a huge following? I don't think so... unless you're talking about the "junior high school" demographic.
Mark is weak, I agree, but so was Joe.
The guy who did sports Tuesday night was good! Who is he ?
The post two up... Joe wrote that, right?
Well, I guess the folk in the ARK don't like their sports outside the box.
Outside the box is fine... but in the playpen isn't.
Joe made sports fun. Mark is just terrible.
Well, I guess the folk in the ARK don't like their sports outside the box.
Being a cheap hybrid rip-off of Van Earl Wright and Sportscenter does not make one out of the box. Craig Oneal is out of the box (like him or not) his sportscast is different. While I find Craig rather annoying and his gags all self centered I will admit he's got an audience by being different.
Please, Please take Joe back Arkansas. He sucks so bad I had to google his name to see if others felt my pain.
Joe's a great father and husband? Are you kidding me? The guy's a workaholic. If you averaged his time spent at work he probably makes $4.25 an hour. All I ever heard was how his kid got in the way of working out at the gym and how he never had time for himself. That's part of being a parent you moron, you sacrifice yourself to nuture your child!!! He also talked down to his wife so often that I can't believe she's still with him. Oh and another thing, I hope you've ditched the combover since moving to Phoenix. That thing is the worst I've ever seen!!!!!
Awesome awesome awesome!I think nobody can be brief as like your post!Thank you for bringing a well thought to the discussion about tv news....Keep it up...
paris
Quite effective info, thank you for this post.
This cannot have effect in actual fact, that's what I consider.
