  1. These folks do not deserve all the hate they're receiving. This is not an actual newscast, but instead a video made for the school district - to help with a social media campaign "encouraging students to do well on their tests." It's no different than some of the 'funny' promos created to promote newscasts. It isn't abnormal for a local news station (or its personalities) to attempt humor. Look at the quasi-journalists on the air past and present....Robin Swoboda, Bob Herzog, Kristen Hampton. They all have a "schtick" that isn't for everyone - but they stay employed (or keep getting new jobs) because...on some level, it resonates with the target demo. I feel badly for these folks - but judging from how Melissa Andrews engages with folks on social media...she won't be taking the s***.

  4. Do we know that she was even responsible? I wonder how KXII will feel...since they are the sister station of the ones who fired her...

  6. I'm not saying I hate it; kids aren't the primary audience for morning newscasts by any means (before school live TV and kids are a buried-and-dead audience when Snapchat and Instagram exist, no matter what Sinclair and the kids cable networks think). But the use of Internet slang by adults who you associate with being completely sober talking about a house fire up in Maumee is just plain jarring. And television stations have good cooperative relationships with local school districts (see WITI's decades-long segment with Milwaukee Public School students who get to read the lunch menu and any 'weatherman comes to your school' initiative). But if this was the Toledo schools coming in and specifically asking for this kind of encouragement...it was a swing and a miss by that district.

  7. I hate to drag future Tegna stations into this, but I think I hear WTIC screaming "HOLD MY BEER". This is exactly the sort of thing they would do over there. Buckle up Connecticut.

  8. 1993 Florida Marlins with the Sunshine Network 2000 Florida Marlins (also the final home opener at County Stadium in Milwaukee) [admittedly I am trying to find anything when WAMY covered the Marlins] @Eat News When did KFMB broadcast the Padres

  11. So...is this a record for TEGNAization with WTOL's morning show crew, even without the Newzatonix chanters and graphics? 'Enjoy' this painful 53 seconds of 'how do you do, fellow kids?' where Gray HQ is like 'yup, we made the right call in keeping WTVG'.
