We felt she was one of the best reporters in the Cleveland area and always made a point to be sure we had channel 5 on for the news and sports. We'll be surprised if many of your loyal supporter don't switch stations.

They're lucky to get their highlights on cable sports networks at all...<BR/><BR/>--The ManagementOhio Media Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07003503894299610300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-31131873292879962162009-02-27T19:22:00.000-05:002009-02-27T19:22:00.000-05:00Interesting about Channel 5 being down to 2 sports...Interesting about Channel 5 being down to 2 sports reporter/anchors..<BR/><BR/>I was watching KTWO-2, the ABC affiliate in Casper, Wyoming the other night. Their "K-2 News", according to station promos, have THREE regular sports people. This in a state with very little college sports and no pro sports in the state at all..While in a big market like Cleveland, with so much happening..They think they can get by with only 2?..Unbelieveable..Tim Loneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208281099970788558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-58940918671466006182009-02-27T05:51:00.000-05:002009-02-27T05:51:00.000-05:00One more bloodletting in print media.
