Clio NOT Cleo

Post by matt1 » Tue May 30, 2023 1:06 am

ABC 12 News made a mistake. The reporter said "Cleo" NOT Clio, MI in the Rest Area on I-75. https://www.abc12.com/news/top-stories/ ... a482d.html

That’s a far too common problem at all the stations. You see it with new anchors, reporters, sports, even weather. It’s because you have a news director who isn’t from the area and doesn’t spend the time coaching his new hires. You’d think someone like a highly paid anchor like Angie might actually step up and help out the new reporters…

Maybe those anchors could just make a list...I'm guessing they did but it was ignored! Sinklair probably could been part of the solution, but he probably thinks that's not his job. Angie and the "new hire" seem like they were recorded at different times:

Au Gres aw-GRAY
Au Sable aw-SAHB-L
Caro Care-oh
Clio KLY-oh
Capac KAY-pack
Chesaning CHESS-a-ning
Grand Blanc Grand Blank
Deford DEE-ford
Frankenmuth FRANK-en-mooth
Imlay City Em-lay City
Iosco eye-AH-skoh
Kawkawlin kaw-KAW-lin
Lapeer La-Peer
Lake Orion lake OHR-ee-un
Marlette mahr-LET
Ogemaw OH-gah-maw
Oscoda Ahs-CODE-ah
Owosso oh-WAh-so
Quanicassee kwahn-ick-a-SEE
Roscommon rahs-KAHM-uhn
Saginaw SAG-in-aw
Sanilac SANNA-lack
Sebewaing SEE-ba-wing
Shiawassee shy-a-WAH-see
Tawas TAH-wahss
Tittabawassee tit-a-ba-WAH-see
Tuscola tus-KOH-la

What did I forget? Be part of the solution!

It is actually pronounced as "shithole."


What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

Audio: great list.

But it isn’t my job since I’m no longer in the ‘biz.

But good for you for being part of the solution! This industry needs more people like you in it.

I thought you were still in the biz, my apologies.

We are talking about Clio, NOT Flint.

In the days where there were regional movie distributions of "B" Grade material such as "Toklat," a 1971 nature flick (Man and Grizzly), the small town theatre circuit would buy TV time and Yes, you were quite certain of hearing CLEE-oh, or Oh-SKA-dah for Oscoda.

I had my own issues with Walled (WALD) Lake, in my kid-dom.

No. Mackinaw/Mackinac is the true test.

These fine folks could be your next news anchor with their slaughtering of Michigan place names:
