Re: More layoffs at 9&10 News
No way that’s even going to happen. Sinclair doesn’t care about their TC market, let alone buying another station in the same market. Look at how much they have drained from what 7/4 used to be. If Sinclair actually cared, they could takeover the market. Starts with having a noon and 4pm newscast. ...

Re: 9&10 is such a mess right now
Who are the 2 reporters at 7&4? All I see are two "multimedia journalists" after anchors/weather/sports.BirdieKingBobo wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2024 7:55 pm
The Amphersand is down to two reporters ... which isn't half as bad as WWMT .... who has none left. ALL anchors.
Reminds me a bit of the staff roster just before Raycom bought the station.

Re: Broadcasting burnout
It's a combination of burnout, greed, and agenda. While I was a kid in the 90s, from what I have gathered from watching various news casts on YouTube, it seems the 90s was the "Golden Age" for news and tech. Then the 2000s came and it all started to go downhill. The greed became more as large compan...

WNEM Super Bowl message
During the break last night I saw a "thank you" message for WNEM 70 years. Will there be some anniversary special?

Re: 9&10 is such a mess right now
I think after a while when a business holds a dominance for a period of time, they start to ride on that "name" and then slack off on production. In the case of a small market with only two channels competing against each other for ratings, it won't make much of a difference. But I agree, it's quite...

Re: 9&10 is such a mess right now
Only two reporters? And how many newscasts? Must be one hell of a lot of work for two people to contribute so the same stories aren't told over and over... It seems many companies that are adding newscasts don't do the homework before hand with regard to staff. Money dwindles, so keep the newscasts,...

Re: FCC Ownership Rules
*if* the FCC were to go after companies and shell companies, I think the markets such as Alpena with only one commercial station would be exempt.
I agree with MasterB: the FCC is a joke.

Whoa. I didn't expect to hear that. Thought it would be a "last week" type of announcement.
Yes, congratulations and happy retirement!
And enjoy "not wearing a stupid tie"
