WBAL: they live by their slogan. LIVE.LOCAL.LATEBREAKING.
they have solid ownership in Hearst. The best anchors. They have plenty of toys in comparison to other stations in at least the way they use them.
They battle for #1 with WJZ though are winning because JZ is slipping.
WJZ: Terrible management. Shocking they still have ratings. They wouldn't if they weren't a legacy station.
Bad anchors. Bad reporters.
They are hampered because the ND is only a figurehead. Cannot make any real decisions.
WMAR: Decent people, but cannot compete. No money from the parent company. No chopper. They'll be beat on every chase, major car accident and bad weather stories since they cannot get immediate shots from the air.
The are dead last in the ratings.
WBFF: The flagship of Sinclair, if you can call it a flagship.
No chopper either. Bad set.
Some decent reporters. They only directly compete in the morning, and they often beat WMAR, but cannot compete with JZ and BAL.
WBAL appears the way to go.
But some say it's a sweatshop.
If you don't care if you ever win a newscast, WMAR might be good.
If you want to work for a Republican slanted company, sinclair is the way to go.
And WJZ is probably a no-no right now.
They've lost their way.
It's bad there
