Beth Mcdonough Returns To KSTP
On the 1st of May 2012, Startribune.com posted that the former FOX 9 crime reporter Beth McDonough had returned to TV news as an investigative producer at KSTP-TV.
“She is smarter than a whip,” KSTP news director Lindsay Radford said Monday. “I’m telling you, in the two weeks I’ve had her on staff, she’s uncovered more stories than reporters I’ve had in a year.” McDonough was made in charge of developing the station’s investigative unit and producing stories for it. In 2008 McDonough was dismissed by FOX 9 after her second drunken-driving arrest. She said the dismissal by FOX 9 news director Bill Dallman saved her life.
In an emotional interview with me in 2009, McDonough said, “When I got my first DUI, my boss at the time [Dallman] asked me face-to-face, Beth, do you have a problem?” After the second drunken-driving case, she followed through with treatment at Hazelden and since then supported herself by starting a dog-walking business.
“I met with her three years ago right after she left FOX,” Radford said. “At the time I just didn’t know what kind of position I had for her or how we could make it work.”
Then recently “we had a position open for an investigative producer and [morning anchor] Brad Sattin — I think they are Facebook friends — said, Hey, you know Beth McDonough is interested in getting back into television news. And I thought, ‘Hmmm if she didn’t mind not being on TV, I have a job that’s right up her alley.’ “So [assistant news director] John Mason and I met her for coffee. She’s a complete person, and I mean that in that she’s grown tremendously and is very comfortable in her own skin, confident, smart and sophisticated, and you just know that when you meet with her.”
