KATV Viewer Not Happy With Choice of Music...

This from an emailer: Why did KATV-TV, Channel 7, feel the need to add a goofy Friday the 13th music bed to the beginning and end of its report on the poor guy from Alaska that was beaten to death by four teen-agers. The report, by Roger Susanin, which aired Friday at 6 p.m. didn't need the hoaky effect which is the kind of thing you'd normally do to a Halloween feature story.
Why?
The guy DIED after being chased down and beaten for no reason, isn't that scary enough without embelishing the already tragic story?
One of the tackiest things I've seen in Arkansas TV news in some time. Would love to hear the KATV News Director defend it.
