As the waves begin to wash over the deck of the good ship WJZ, the "Captain" turns to one of the last remaining life-preservers to save the crew... and ratings.
Enter Denise Koch's *exclusive* - the Bob Turk Story. It's being promoted complete with sad music, an undefined problem that makes you think Turk's dying and you could be next... and the promise of "continuing coverage".
Yup - Turk is hard of hearing... we'll all find out how deaf he is and how it happened if you're silly enough to tune in. Any guesses whether this examine-your-own-navel brand of journalism hit ratings pay-dirt? |

as the "captain".
Other symbolism:
ship=station
waves=impending doom
crew=station staff
life preserver=popular anchors
exclusive=stories about themselves that nobody else wants or cares about
continuing coverage=the promise of more of the same crap if the ratings are good
