Many people are already tuning out due to this crap. The problem is some of these people don't care that their antics are driving away news viewers.

One of the main complaints from viewers is that all the news is the same. It doesn’t matter which station you turn to, it’s all the same press release fed talking points. This just proves the point… https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2024/3/18/when-you-swipe-the-story-from-the-competition If you can’...

Well that’s embarrassing when your boss calls you out for not knowing how to spell. It’s even more embarrassing when the email is passed along to FTV Live to put the entire station and its management team on blast. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2024/3/19/what-happened-at-wood You’d think that af...

Might make sense for Gray, Nexstar or Scripps to go after 9&10 since they have several other Michigan stations — if they’re interested in building a statewide profile. But I think Nexstar and Gray are at or near the FCC cap.

20/20: So as a former “sales” exec you are weighing in on tornado coverage from the different stations?

TC: wrong again. Gainfully employed just out of TV news. Not that it matters, but I have more than three decades in broadcasting. Don’t know why you suggest photogs can’t understand the business of broadcasting either. It seems that you are misinformed and are the one talking out of your @$$. If you...

I have no issues with you, TheWayItIs. So I guess that blows your thesis out of the water.

The fact is I don’t like whining baby men or incompetent managers. It’s a pretty simple formula for success.

Kildee and Stabenow are lame ducks. Peters has no connection to FCC oversight. I’ll just have to hope Michigan voters put someone in office with two brain cells to run together and can figure out how to clean this mess up.

I’ve heard from friends who work at Nexstar stations that there are audits to see if the mandated number of promos ran, etc.

Have you watched WWMT recently? They are not in the same league as WOOD or the other stations. The only reason they pull any viewership is because they have carved out their own audience in the Kzoo end of the market where the other 3 stations choose to go after and split up the Grand Rapids end of ...

If you want to be an influencer. Go for it.

But if you want to work in the news, you should try to have some credibility. The Weather Boys have none.

LOTS of swearing — usually about how bad Sinclair was… and how bad crime was… and how bad our broken political system was… and how bad the Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings, and Lions were.

So, really not much has changed (except for the Lions).

Dammit, Skip. I’m a doctor not a television engineer!
