Is Anyone Working?
I have noticed lots of second stringers in the anchor chairs of national and local news broadcasts. Apparently, some production staffs are taking the week off, too.
I tuned into two news programs this morning around 7:25am hoping to catch the local weather at the bottom of the hour. WXLV ran an old tape of the weather forecast for Christmas Eve and Christmas. Instead of the Weather Plus they like to pimp, WXII had audio of two guys arguing about what was causing extra noise on air with a forecast graphic on screen.
I finally licked my finger and held it out a window to get the forecast.
