Fox 2 News

I agree with Ermani on the ballot thing. I don't ever recall having to declare which ballot I wanted in the past, as there was only one ballot.

But as long as we're on Fox2 stuff... the "weatherboys" have completely jumped the shark. Can't watch either of them anymore. I've seen some of their other specials and, while silly, I was able to tolerate them. No more. When they come on, I'm turning the channel.

Can't believe they actually wore those t-shirts either.

When there was only one ballot, with each party's slate carried on it, people who didn't/don't understand how party primaries work were splitting tickets, which invalidated that voters ballot.

What's funny is that the nuts from both sides were accusing him of voting for the other guy.

Exactly.
All the GOP was in one column. All the Democrats were in another column. And at the top of the ballot it said in big bold letters you can only vote in one column. Like SolarMax says, too many Big Dummies Walking couldn't grasp the concept.

If I remember right, the election workers would remind you too.

I bet you some people heard it, processed it and spoiled the ballot right after….

Their ballot probably should have been invalidated, and we should be fine with that. Basically a "Darwinish" test. If you're too stupid to follow some basic directions, then your vote shouldn't count.

I don't disagree with Ryan on this topic. Especially for members of the news media, having to publicly announce one's party of preference while standing in line can be awkward.

I got to thinking about this.
For some reason I don't think I was orally asked this. Or orally replied. I wonder if I checked off one of two boxes when filling out the card. Seems the next table knew which ballot to give me without saying a word.

I specifically remember checking a box as to which ballot I wanted.

So why are people grumbling everyone in line is going to hear their choice?

Because it makes for a better discussion point. I mean SOMEONE is gonna know your choice otherwise they couldn’t give you the right ballot…

charlie langton is THE most popular and well known reporter in the market. Research/recognizability on him is through the roof.

Would you care to expound on how Research/Recognizably works. If this is some sort of likeability study, I'm particularly interested in how often a station does this for each individual.
Thanks.

I received a thorough automated phone survey from WDIV about 15+ years ago where they were looking to collect opinions on a meteorologist that they hired shortly thereafter.

The recording identified itself as a "Detroit TV station," but I immediately recognized the narrator's voice as an announcer WDIV used on occasion.

Stations do research and focus groups on their top talent to determine likability and how well known they are with viewers or listeners. Its often how talent is picked and retained.
