Every station is using viewer photos in newscasts.

The problem with low staffing at 25-66 is unique. 25-66 has always been the least staff and most underpaid operation in the Flint-Saginaw DMA. In the past year, we’ve shed another eight or so positions — people either let go or jobs not filled when coworkers left or when contracts were up. It’s clear that the in over her head news director isn’t fighting to fill these positions and the accountant in chief is already positioning himself for another big bonus this year.

But let’s fill up news time with even more Chime In photos!!

I worry when Lovin agrees with me... Now if Beer agrees with me, it is a sign of the Apocalypse!

I don't know when 25 started showing viewer photos. 7&4 started that when Raycom owned the station.

Hey, let's not besmirch the Apocalypse! It hasn't done anything wrong yet.
