KFSM Confuses Bono with the Other Bono
Arkansas Business.com is running this article:
"KFSM reported that Sonny Bono had made Time magazine’s list of “Persons of the Year.” But Sonny Bono, a singer who was married to Cher, died in a snow skiing accident in 1998.
Time’s 2005 honoree was Paul Hewson, lead singer for the rock band U2, who goes simply by the name Bono. Hewson was tagged with the nickname “Bono Vox” in high school. It was the name of a hearing aid store in Dublin, Ireland, and fittingly means “good voice” in Latin.
At least KFSM showed the right Bono’s picture with the story."

morons
Leave it up to Channel 5 to mess a story up!!
Bono, Bono. Tomato, ToMAto.
And people are actually surprised about this?
This is exacly why I referred to the KFSM news as "Hillbilly Roundup" when I lived in Fayetteville.....LOL!
Let me make it clear, message to Channel 5's GM Van Comer, stop confusing your elderly viewers, they may not want to fill out your biased nielsen diaries which were so far off this past November on distribution that the book should have been thrown out. How is it that both Benton and Washington counties, which make up 51% of the total HH’s in the DMA, were under sampled by 4 and 5%? Conversely, Sebastian and Crawford counties were swayed in the positive direction. There's no way you can get a real representation when you under sample the heavily populated areas in your DMA.....
Wow, someone must have gotten stomped in the ratings!
THEY DID!!!!!

What does a "hometown reporter" call a ratings loss?
Answer: A bad book
hometown reporter?
What is that supposed to mean?
I think its a stab at 40/29 since they call themselves "your hometown news".
The truth be told, KFSM did put up very solid numbers in the November book.
"The truth be told, KFSM did put up very solid numbers in the November book."
When the book is slanted toward the River Valley they should put up numbers....the above poster put it best...when over half your market size is undersampled, how realistic is that? Sounds funny to me...
The truth be told.... 40/29 is just a bunch of sore losers :-)
not sore losers...just a better news team
true, you guys are better than KNWA. by the way, when can we expect that 6" snow that Salser forecast back in December?
oooh yeah, that hurt...i'm sure your weather guy is always right...but hey, weather changes...sonny bono is not all of a sudden gonna come back to life to be person of the year...keep up the good work
Come on everybody, we need to bow down to the station that has Flickinger & Flickinger...the two greatest weather boobs in the market!
Flickinger #2 looks like a rocket scientist...if you get my drift?
By the way, what's YOUR favorite movie of the 1980'a? Mine is Revenge of the Nerds.
God help us if we ever get Salser & Salser :-O
Are the two Flinkinger boys related?
i figured they were married....they make a cute little weather couple
Flickinger, Flickinger, & Lewis....sounds like a bunch of personal injury lawyers...."we're your local law firm.....serving the elderly viewers of the River Valley for over 50 years"
i wonder where they flickinger their boogers on the weather set?
I wonder where Drew keeps his spare robotic parts for the morning news in case he breaks down? I hear Charles has to take him in to get his oil changed every 3 months or 300 weathercasts... whichever comes first.
