KTHV, Gannett Sued for Discrimination

KTHV Sports anchor Mark Edwards has sued the station and its parent company for discrimination.  In a nutshell Edwards states KTHV and Gannett Corp. stood in his way of getting employment elsewhere and not promoting him further up the ladder at Channel 11.  A full brief of the lawsuit can be found HERE.  It is rumored Edwards is  no longer at Channel 11 as his bio is no longer on the station's website.  Edwards is seeking class certification, restitution, and compensatory and punitive damages for Civil Rights Act violations, loss of prospective earnings and a court order "to enjoin the discriminatory practices."
