Local TV News that spends more time promoting the story they are gonna do than they spend on the story?

Weather Dorks and Dorkettes who make the next front into a 3 minute lesson on wind?

Late breaking stories that occured 7 hours before with some dillweed standing on a street corner after dark doing an On Scene report.

TV News in KC is reaching for an all time low.

"Mass Murderer loose in the city...details at 10!"

The one that kills me is this: "Police need your help capturing a murderer/rapsit/dangerous escaped convict"

Well CRAP...gotta go help the Cops... again!

ESPN has set the standard for this practice. They'll throw out a teaser in the intro for SportsCenter, then they'll remind you about it going into every commercial break and then finally at the end of the show they'll have the 30 second bit that ends up being nothing at all.

I don't know if they do this where you guys are, but they do it here in Milwaukee.

ANY time there is something big happening nationally, they ALWAYS find some hook in the story to tie it back to Wisconsin. Almost as if they have an inferiority complex or something.

It is Wisconsin, it should have an inferiority complex, afterall, it is a suburb of Chicago. Isn't it???

I just noticed last night, a Career Builder commercial (working with monkeys) it was hyping their very own Superbowl commercial, "Watch Career Builder evolve on Feb 4th, during the big game!" Smart, save money to promote their superbowl commercial, but now it will have to be good because to the pre-hype, IMHO anyway. If it is only moderately funny, it will be a big let down.

Why can't one station do it differently?
Because they all have spent a lot of money from some idiot consultant who told them that doing xyz will get great ratings. Ratings = $$$

They all get the same info from the same idiot consultants so they all do the same thing. If you notice something different on the newscast you regularly watch, the rest will be doing it within a month.

The local news doesn't even really do sports anymore, and national news is covered much better by the cable media. All they are there for is to show the weather, and the occasional big local story. I mean, does anyone tune in to see who got shot down on Prospect tonight? Nobody wants to see that.

Local news is just about as obsolete as a printed newspaper.

Not exactly true... while many news organizations would RATHER do more enterprise stories, the FACT of the matter is, throughout the United States if the news does nice happy stories viewers change the channel.

Everyone bitches about crime overtaking the news, but until the VIEWER says "that's not what I want to see" and puts their channel where their mouth is, it's not gonna change.

Television stations have to make money in order to stay in business. To make money, they have to have advertisers. To get more advertisers they have to have good ratings. To have good ratings they have to put something on TV that will keep the viewers from changing the channel. If you have happy stories, people change the channel, period.

The one thing that irks me about the local news here in Denver is that they never talk about the Big 12- particularly during basketball season. It's always CU, CSU, and then fuggen high schools.

I bet kids here in Colorado couldn't even name half of the teams in the Big 12.

The other thing I can't stand about local news, and this occurs everywhere, is how somebody might die in a plane crash in Taiwan and it just so happens that Joe Blow from your local area happened to be on the plane and he turns out to be an enormous hero or something other than the real fact that he was an alcoholic pedophile who was going to Taiwan to pick out a new wife he couldn't score in his own backyard.

A while back Fox had an "exclusive interview" with the person that worked for Hallmark with a wife and kids that disappeared to New Orleans without telling anyone... they advertised it for 3 days, then for the first 45 minutes that night.... then they only do half the interview so you had to "stay tuned tomorrow night"

My favorite was on KMBC one night when someone broke into a DMV and stole a driver license printer... I swear they did three different interviews and asked 3 different people questions like "Who do you think did this" and (seriously) "Why do you think they did this?". One guy looked at the interviewer and said "Well, there's only so many things you can do with an anchor".

I know it has to do with local cable (Time Warner).
So are you saying that because I live in MO I don't hear about the job swap between the Johnson County DA and the KS Atty. General, I don't find out about corruption in Edwardsville, or about a twisted love affair between a murderer and a dog trainer on my local TV news?

I didn't know these events happen in MO. I guess I must go back to third grade and retake geography.
