I agree it's a big deal, but this is overkill. In addition to the Live at Five infomercial, KFDM promises two live reporters at 6 and 10 and Dan Gresham live all morning tomorrow. Aren't there some murders to cover in Port Arthur? I can understand KBTV's obsession, to a degree. The morning anchor is friends with the casino's PR lady, who was his news director at the dearly departed KVHP ... but it appears they still showed some restraint when compared with the mighty KFDM. Even KPLC, the only TV station in Lake Charles that does news, is doing less coverage than the Beaumont stations. The new casino wasn't even the lead story on their precious Web site tonight! |

I heard that KFDM and KBMT news personnel was given free rooms by L'Auberge du Lac for the Grand Opening. I just can't believe the amount of free advertising (I mean coverage) these folks are giving to a casino. Totally disappointing.
