Re: WUD T-Vee Speling Errers
Now if they would fine every on screen personality that doesn't PRONOUNCE the T in the middle of a word...as in SparTan and not sparen, mounTain and not mou-in and waTer and not wah-er...the list goes on. It seems generational as the younger ones seem to do it..are they lazy or are they tongue tied?

Re: Another One Leaving WWMT
Autumn Pitchure? I think she is one of the most automated reporters out there. Perhaps she is AI generated...certainly has no warmth AT ALL. Automaton news reader IMHO.

Re: Tornado coverage
Channel 13 covered the storms along I94 wayyyy better than WWMT, hands down. When the tornado warning went out channel 3 kept the CBS feed going, never even broke in till 11 news. 8 Stayed with the storm from east of Benton Harbor across the southern tier/I94 corridor. Great explanations of what we ...

OK, where did Marley Weirda go from Channel 8 Sports....? Seems like the reporters doors have been revolving at a high rate of speed at all of the local stations of late. You don't even notice they are gone then it's..Hey, where did so and so go?

Jessice Harthorn does a decent job. Guess she can't be around 24/7 though. Where did the no makeup drab weather person go? She came, went to Dayton or some such place, came back, and left again. Even my wife made derogatory comments...

Re: Amanda Porter at WOOD TV
I find her news reading...problematic and contrived...8-) Let alone her pronunciations. Man shot on Burton and Boo-kannon Avenue? BOO-KAANAN? Then toss in the young news readers that have a problem pronouncing the T in the middle of a word..Mounan instead of mountain. Lanant instead of LATENT. THAT ...
