  1. ABC just offered a ransom to keep it on their O&O's to the 40th year and keep it from moving to Fox O&O's. All about money, in every market.

  2. I’m not a big game show guy but why don’t the CBS O&Os have Wheel or J?

  3. Why? To unnecessarily scare viewers? To throw more fuel on the "Fake News" fire? WEWS did the right thing by waiting to see how the story played out. The other stations that didn't bother to wait and went wall-to-wall for a hoax are one reason people are turning away from TV news.

  4. Yes, it does. Especially in the case of an active shooter, it's better to be right rather than first.

  8. WISN got burned by a in-market swatting hoax story last night during prime time they had as breaking news before the police said 'it isn't real' (and had to air a DWTS dance during their late news because of it). The 'details' may have also either scared WEWS from sending out anyone, or based on their sources, they may have decided there was more smoke than fire in what was going on. When it comes to any of this, you don't want to be the station that gives the most attention or credence to a swatter and show 'this is fun!', so WEWS's caution was appropriate here. If the story grew, they just would have been late and had to catch up, and only the promo makers would have cared in the end.

  14. I thought you were being sarcastic with resident young person. But I looked at his Instagram and he only graduated from Northwestern in 2017.
