News 8, like the other TW ops, is a CHEAP imitation of the real news channels. They hire underqualified staff that don't have the experience or skills to get hired at the affiliates, pay them a fraction of what the others get, and force them to one-man-band and pass that cheap way of doing the news as a "VJ."
Just look at News 8's product. It's not even in the same league. 5 minute packages on a neighborhood litter campaign do not make good TV. And isn't it funny how a 24-hour news channel is often the LAST to get breaking news, or even general assignment packages, on the air -- sometimes hours after the network affiliates.
Go back to Mkt 150, News-8. You're not ready to play in the bigs. |

,but since when is Austin big league ?
Knock the local cable news outlets if you want to make yourself feel better ( cheap move ), but don't call Austin broadcasters big time.
