According to information found by News Blab, the new KKTV GM appears to use consultant study results as a strong basis for "making drastic changes".  Word around the water cooler is that Peterson had consultants research the Springs market. The following words are from a person who apparently knows of Peterson's tactics. This discussion was about the big anchor shakeup;

"...in my own past dealings with this person, I can say this sounds like par for the course. That is, treating consultant "advice" like gospel and then making drastic changes to the product...not usually for the better, from what I've seen."

According to a reliable source, yesterday on a local radio show, a former employee at KKTV advised listeners that things were unstable prior to his departure.  He also spoke of the consultant that was at the station while he was still there.

News Blab has also learned that Peterson may have a "Graphics Guru" that has traveled with her from station to station.  In the words of this source;

"If you think the shakeup at KKTV is bad now, wait until Charlie's "Graphics Guru" starts making her changes. 
If you check you'll see that Charlie has taken her with, in each of her moves and used her to make a mess of station's images."
