(Major exception: CBS stations that carried plenty of local news before or after the network news.)<BR/><BR/>Local TV news gives very little coverage to national news, because they think viewers want local. Are radio listeners different?<BR/><BR/>If they have 2 1/2 minutes an hour to fill locally produced news, instead of 5 or 6, do they need as big of a staff as they have now? I've heard radio newscasts produced by TV stations that can fill 60 or 90 seconds fairly coherently, although the casts are often prerecorded in batches.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe WTAM's going to have their local staff spend more time on the website. With the shorter casts they'll have more time on their hands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-22722737895210186492007-02-21T22:50:00.000-05:002007-02-21T22:50:00.000-05:00hahahahahahaha! that's funny!hahahahahahaha! that's funny!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-44288481656634748032007-02-20T17:28:00.000-05:002007-02-20T17:28:00.000-05:00The quicker they get rid of Brinda the better.

Too bad, PD...your loss. <BR/><BR/>So, WKNR's gonna shake things up, huh? None of the rumored names or pairings interest me in the least. Ya know what...who needs to listen to sports-radio, anyway?

I'm not surprised either... this was bound to happen.<BR/><BR/>Only it's not handled right (could you guess?) The newscasts really should begin with a :30 sec TOH ID/news-wx headline leading into the FNR cast immediantly at the top. Listen to WGY/Albany, WWVA/Wheeling, or even WFUN/Ashtabula, and see what I mean.<BR/><BR/>The way it's currently formatted, WTAM allows more than a minute to be wasted with an overblown traffic report and weather BEFORE the FNR cast - leaving only 1 1/2 minutes for local headlines. It's worse when you get to the hard-break formatted shows like Rush and C2C.<BR/><BR/>Theoretically, on non-drive time hours, the tx SHOULD be coupled with the :05 weather forecast, and should be read by the anchor (unless if the conditions are bad enough, i.e. last week) Aside from that, it's pointless otherwise.<BR/><BR/>It's REALLY sad when I can think of this, but no one in Oak Tree can...<BR/><BR/>- Nathan ObralAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
