In Reply To: WXYZ has triumphed. But not on our own. WDIV has been a big help. We've always reveled in our Oprah boost obliterating your numbers at 4 and destroying your 5pm news. Now you send us more viewers by your fascinating anchor pairing at 5. Nobody here understands your logic, but we'll not look a gift horse in the mouth. Thanks. The PR holocaust surrounding Mr. King is also quite dumbfounding. Thanks. The only herculean task we could never accomplish was to win at 6pm. Recently you've accomplished that for us by changing what was working for you. It's almost as if you're on our payroll. Thanks.
Message: WDIV has been in decline for the past few years. If there was a CBS affiliate in the market, WDIV would be last. It is a pattern of low morale, extremely bad hires, and a sense of entitlement that has brought this station down. If it was not for Carmen on the 11, it would already be over like the Sixers.
