GCL needs less interference from corporate big shots with old news ideologies. The problem for GCL is simple. First, it has an inferiority complex. It's hard to look at Goliath (WSB) and wield your sword.
Second, GCL has no identity or focus. In order to win viewers, the product must have focus.
I think the only thing that can help GCL now is a kick start -- a format so radical -- it forces everyone to talk about them. Kinda like what SVN did in 1990. They lost their NBC affiliate and were already last in news. The format not only resurrected the product, but turned it into a national model. GCL needs to do something intense and drastic. Nothing else will work. People are not going to switch over if GCL offers the same thing. WSB, XIA and AGA will always do it better -- GCL has to be different. |

We did that here, but the weenies in Des Moines got scared and went back to "traditional" news. Kinda like the content of SUCCESSFUL FARMING which is the only thing they know about.
