The Courier-Journal recently
ran a story that its market had the 7th highest number of TV
commercials for attorneys among top markets in the US. When I mentioned
this to a Lexington TV executive his answer was..."Only because Lexington wasn’t
surveyed!”
My daughters tell me a local
radio station, and one in Louisville, have been playing nothing but Xmas
music since the day after Halloween. This is beyond stupid; it is
UNAmerican. If true, (there is no way I will search the local dial to find out;
sorry—maybe on 12/15…) I hope their staffs are getting hazard pay...and
psychological counseling.
I was watching the PBS
NewsHour tudder night when it was interrupted constantly by the loss of both
video and audio. I started counting the dropouts and when I got to 60
called KET. The receptionist said its picture was clear, so I called Time
Warner cable, which I how I got the program. A nice lady answered, in
Florence, Ky., which means after business hours TWC appears to have NO ONE
locally to answer our calls. She did NOT know of the problem, but checked and,
in time reported “massive outages in N. Ky., S Indiana, Louisville and
Lexington.” When I asked didn’t TWC monitor its channels for such problems the
answer was “No, we depend on viewer calls to alert us.”
Which, IMHO, is a helluva way
to run any business.
LFUCG, are you listening?
How many channels does the
SEC Network have? I have seen references to: SEC, SEC overtime, SEC
alternative, SEC secondary, and several more. I THINK it only has two,
but given the various references, by different names, on local TV and in print,
I am not sure. Can our local media not get together (with the network) and
agree on the same set of terms to avoid viewer confusion…and more watching for
them?
I'm just sayin'...
