This. Haven't watched local news for maybe 20 years. That goes for wherever I have lived. Don't miss it at all. Only reason it ever did have value was weather and now you get that much better online as well.
Need a reason to stop watching WHO TV News (channel 13)?
- Thread starter Pope
- Start date
If I were working at a Lawrence news station, I would say "Go Cyclones"
Nope. Geezer here and I stream my TV. (also not in the WHO-dat broadcast area)
Oh, God, no. I quit listening to 1040 the morning Van and Bonnie said that Somalia was in South America.
Honest question: how do you get local news then? For my part, here in the remote mountains of West Virginia, I'm so close to the political scene which impacts my daily life. If I ignored local news and reserved response, I'd be guilty of bad local government. Maybe in more populated areas the feeling of little impact makes it easier to ignore local news. That said, I cared very little about local news growing up in Chicago, living in L.A., living in San Francisco and living in Minneapolis. But, here it's essential to my well being.
Its unprofessional as a news anchor to do that, especially in enemy territory.
Who cares. Some of you all need to get back to yelling at kids on your lawn.
If he had no affiliation to KU then you possibly could take issue, but he actually graduated from the university. So he takes pride in his school. I would expect nothing less and would welcome the friendly banter between the fan bases.
Sounds like a guy that likes to have a little fun during his newscast
Well, first I would challenge the premise that you are getting accurate or useful news when you watch local. My issue with it wasn't so much being slanted or inaccurate but they would cram 1 minute of useful news into a 30 min broadcast.
Not sure of your situation but I have found good online resources even for local - usually NOT newspapers. Radio stations and their online sites are decent. BUt mostly, I try to attend community meetings - planning/zoning commission, school board, etc. Get the news first hand that matters to our daily life.
Sure hope they serve him a big helping of crow at the studio.
Went to KU but a Hawkeye fan. Definition of tavern hawk.
Punchable face. WHO has a long tradition of hiring Hok fans going way back to Jim Zabel. F*** this clown.
