Re: Sinclair Generative Artificial Intelligence
Or… hire more journalists and pay them a living wage. AI rewrites don’t solve the problem of not having real coverage of local issues. Sure sounds like a solution. Let's all know which stations(s) you buy and/or manage and apply it to. Meanwhile, suggested rewrites to keep a story fresh could be do...

Re: Sinclair Generative Artificial Intelligence
Instead of running the same story, using the exact same verbiage, 17 times in 4 newscasts per day, perhaps they can do with AI what they refuse or are too lazy to do manually - refresh rewrites.
If so: AI - bring it!

Re: WBKB Partners with UpNorthLive
Same room as has always been used for in-station reporting when not in studio - just a new name as described by the banner and reporter.

Re: WBKB Partners with UpNorthLive
...and Abitibi (& its successor(s) including DPI), used to provide a fair number of jobs for the Alpena area. No more. So maybe the new owners have buyer's regret, and combined with a local economy down on its luck, have to make cuts - not just because they want to eliminate local news. Sheesh. BTW ...

Re: Trump lied about speaking to Grand Rapids murder victim's family
The 'tease' on local TV news last night:

You don't really need to find out what's goin' on
You don't really want to know just how far it's gone
Just leave well enough alone, eat your dirty laundry
