In Reply To: i put this under a separate thread started by my imposter the "REAL" RayTings has no hyphen, and speaks the truth. Since some envious wanna-be has started this thread, I can not sit by and let the imposters claims go unchecked. Therefore, I'll repost the #s. considering the 3 day expiration just came up on another "Austin" thread, the timing is appropriate.

Message: i trashed keye for their Mon & Thurs BBQ Battle that runs @ 5&6PM through labor day. the weather guy does wx live on location, he talks up the food & interviews the manager. I see it as a 4min info-mercial for the BBQ joint. on top of that, a contingent of BBQ places are sponsoring the segments. that equates to selling coverage (in my opinion) viewers can vote for their fave BBQ on the stations website --but you have to give all but your SSN & credit card # to vote. [YES i know, kvue.com makes 1st time users register--but aside from a compilation of basic demogrpahic data-- ie: age/sex/etc-- NO personal info ie:name, address, phone#, or email --is given or sold to anyone. the info is used soley to let advertisers know who they reach on the website.] NOW back to bashing the BBQ battle... in addition to the questionable ethics, it's just plain bad TV. as for local management upates-- KEYE has hired an Asst News Director. This comes after laying off their last A-N-D after they overpsent on their new set and had to CUT $$$. The new A-N-D is a woman who was News Director at the Trbune owned WB in San Diego, a shop that does just a 30min 10pm newscast. KTBC/FOX-7 has hired a Niteside EP, a guy from KCEN in Waco.
