In Reply To: I agree with most of your comments, but WTSP has been the only station in the market to have its ratings increase year to year. It is rated #2 at 6 and 11, and I will agree that it is only because of programming. Gannett has invested big money in WTSP, buying a new station computer system, a new camera for the copter, a new weather forecasting system, and improvements to their building including a bigger newsroom and control room. I don't like their soft news approach myself and their morning show is abyssmal.
Message: How are all these people saying there are no decent anchors in the market? I mean David Klugh and Susan Casper? Give me a break. Bob Hite and John Wilson are legends in this market and have been here for almost 30 years. Dick Fletcher, Gayle Sierens, Kelly Ring, Al Ruechel, Marty Matthews...they are all excellent anchors.
