Former Nashville News Anchor Sues Channel 4 for Age/Gender Discrimination

Demetria Kalodimos was a news anchor at Channel 4 for 33 years when she was let go in 2018 after her contract expired.

Now she's suing Channel 4's parent company, Meredith Local Media Group, for alleged age discrimination and gender bias.
