whether his tie matches the color of her suit or not, nothing can hide their mutual dislike for each other
whatever is going on behind the scenes comes out on camera
you can't hide from sharp- eyed viewers
what helps WXYZ are WDIV's public screw ups
ask people on the street what they think of the two
one wears a white hat - the other black
WDIV is the station that used, abused and executed Emery King along with all his credibility and community adulation
before that another black reporter apparently took his own life - why was he so unhappy?
a former employee was shot nearly to death inside their front doors
their talent roster is unfamiliar and unstable
their former anchorman appears down on his luck in cheap looking window ads
by comparison WXYZ's people and station image seems stellar, steady and solid as a rock
viewers have a strong impression
and their emotional memories don't fade

Channel 4 is in need of a PR firm that can overhaul its public image. Some of the things that have happened aren't its fault. Many are. None the less the end result is a public smear across its former reputation. Viewers could very well think the family they relied on for truth and friendship has now grown mean spirited, cold hearted, and not worthy of their trust. Actions always speak louder than words. Channel 4 should take corrective action.
