Channel 3 was "the flagship" station of Connecticut. Now it is spinning out of control. Perhaps 3 will be in 3rd place. It used to a regional news station. Now it's daily tally of murders, crashes and bonehead medical advice. I don't think the six figure income types in West Hartford, Farmington and Madison care about that stuff above all. That's why people who actually buy stuff that's advertised on 3 are tuning out.
It's about profit margins, not public service. Guess what: crime is to cheap to cover! No research, no development. Just stupid shoulder cam shots and reporters convulsing on live t-v in breaking news fits ...begging viewers to stick around and watch. At FSB news turned into a commodity. It's not serving anyone...except the ego of whoever's at the helm.
That's what a viewer has to offer.
Go channel 8. Keep up the good work. You all have not forgotten who is watching. |

I have a good friend that works at FSB-- and even I can't watch.
It's awful. It's scare news. And here's a news alert!!! for management--Viewers aren't that stupid. And eventually, they tune out that the urgent crap you feed them today isn't any different than the same urgent crap you freaked them out with a year ago.
And no, my friend who works there can't respect herself either. Morale is low, because the employees are forced to do lame teases that they know are unethical.
