In Reply To: first of all: 813 sounds like you've tried working at all the stations in tampa and did'nt get very far. as for the on air look: wb- if you get through the central cast bs, the on air product looks ok for the market, the shooting is pretty good. I was just in town and watched for about 3 days they had what everyone else had. dont get the "community cable comment" wtsp- dont get it, once again not bad for the market but doe'snt stand out. very vanilla. good shooting. fox13- you're right it does look like its right out of the 80's and and the shooting is sub par for the most part. fla'- looked a bit mixed up, nice set/colors anchors really bland did'nt stand out, the best of the market, shooting was really good. wfts- awful just awful, too over the top...shooting left alot to be desired. tampa looks like a 60's market in the look/style and substance. I am not a resident and dont want to or work in the market, just an observation.
Message: i work in miami. never worked in tampa. wb you don't get the community cable comment? open your eyes. this station looks like community cable tv---cheap, bad visuals, slow, small market. that help? wtsp you don't get it? maybe this helps. they don't do news at 5. they don't go head to head at 5. they don't cover hard news. mostly fluffy bullsh**. revolving door at news directors office. poor guidance from gannett corporate. need more? wtvt i'm glad you understood that one. wfts read above blimpie brain. wfla they looked a bit mixed up? sounds like you. read s-l-o-w-l-y. wfla is unstable. all out recruiting of minorities 4 years ago. what does that tell you. news director and gm fighting publicly. i can continue if you want.
