Re: More News on TV5

Colette's morning show phoniness doesn't work in the afternoon. Her eyerolling, overenthusiastic reaction to high school football was so over the top proclaiming that Mid-Michigan has the best athletes in the state. The newscast has no identity, as they ran last week's football plays of the week ree...

Re: More News on TV5

Are they going with the 12:00 rehash? The last time they attempted news at 4, it was Bill Walsh just reusing the 12:00 scripts.

Re: Abc12 breaking point

This weekend has provided some of the worst newscasts ever. The morning newscasts consisted of a taped weather segment from Wisconsin while a storm was happening in the area. There was no sign of any live radar, as the storm was occurring. They would be better off just running informercials.

Re: Abc12 breaking point

Add to that 2 of their biggest and longest ad clients reducing their ad buys and eventually leaving, and they have a mess on their hands.

Local4+

It looks like 4 is looking to cut into the local news ratings by adding an exclusive additional hour in the mornings on their digital Local4+ TV app. Also, it sounds like Jason Carr is getting his Facebook show moved to Local4+ per his social media postings.

12's Lack Of Closed Captioning

With the massive losses, apparently the person in charge of closed captioning was laid off as well. 12's running a back to back low grade paid program for a spine doctor without closed captioning. This would never happen with the old owners. The channel looks worse than the Alpena ABC station.

It had a Goodrich spin to it. Good typical fluff piece from TV-5.

It's as if Meredith is still running things. It is quite tacky and way too soon for a story like this.

Re: Elisse Ramey to 5

Why is she screaming during the newscast? Also, Gray has removed the 10:00 replays, so she basically will be barely seen in that hour.

Re: What's going on at ABC12?

What needs to be done differently at 12? They run the market and will continue until Gray makes any changes at 5. 25/66 are just a blip these days.

He states that he had a hard time in school, and that is true as someone took his glasses and threw them in the toilet because he was being obnoxious.

Chris should be promoted, but he may not as he is the only one holding the morning show together.

Re: Seriously, it’s 2022

I wonder what the feeling is behind the scenes at the station. It seems to be always about him for attention. Is it true that Bryan Bachman is leaving because of him?

Re: Meredith GM Purge

When's the Meredith news purge? I can't see most of the staff from 5 being retained by Gray.
