Has anyone watched 40/29's morning show? It puts me back to sleep!
SNOOOOOZ!
I agree, boooring
Late news is where the money is.
It just boggles my mind that there are still markets out there where the morning news doesn't go on until 5:30am.
You are easily boggled then. Who cares at that time. Look at the HUT levels. No one is watching anyway. In this market the AM news is weak anyway. Just recaps from the night before and weather every 30 secs.
Remember when Kelly Kemp did the morning and noon news. That was back when KFSM had a really great product. Now they look like a bunch of high schoolers.
I agree with you their.I miss the days when Kelley Kemp did the morning news and the noon news and also I miss the days when Burr Edison,Guy Westmoreland,and Jay Hillgartner did the nights.In my opinion that was channel 5's best days.
I miss the days when 40/29 was #1..... NOT!
I love waking up with Jennifer Haile. Or should I say, I would certainly love to wake up with Jennifer Haile !
OMG... Jennifer Haile puts me back to sleep!
Talking about Guy, Bur and Jay, I hear all of them are doing quite well. And I know Guy is quite happy over at Clear Channel. Is Jay still out in Florida?
well at least its not as bad as KNWA today.. WTF is that noise.. I wake up at 5:30 just so I can get a good laugh watching their crap.
And just who do you work for?
Quoting Austin Powers: "Who does #2 Work for?!?!?!" Answer: "Hearst-Argyle"
Yes KFSM when Bur, Guy, and Jay was the best newscast I still watch the evenings just for Bridget Schultz, I love her. I miss those days!
Well now the Ashleys although quite pretty to wake up to just don't cut the mustard news anchor wise. KFSM still is my choice over KHOG, 40/29 has good sports and really nothing else I like. KFSM has Bridget, Garrett Lewis is a local weather guy so I watch him, and those hotties Sara Lasure and Tara Campbell.
Weekends I watch KHOG because Jared Broyles bothers me, but I do like that Kendra Kent's weather.
If you think that there channel and broadcast is sooooo bad. then why do you keep watching dummie?!?!?!
So, I do not really think this will work.
