TV5 and Local Steals & Deals

Post by bobhuge » Fri Dec 04, 2020 5:41 am

Am I the only one missing what's "Local" about these "Steals & Deals"? Seems they're not local products, nor are they sold at local businesses.

Did I not see something?

There is nothing local about this. It’s a national promotion. WNEM is once again intentionally misleading viewers.

There is no local promotion. These are no deals. The products advertised are marked up, so WNEM gets a cut.

Yeah, I know how it works. I'm sure all Meredith stations are running it. I was just being snarky.

The funniest thing is the lack of conscience shown by the station and the titling of the promo. Smdh.

...plus, the host is kind of irritating. Trying to hard to be folksy or something, imo.

To me it seems like a 120 min infomercial. What happened to the moment of calm? Ha That was kinda relaxing.
