Just up the 5, a bit of drama in Bakersfield where a woman decided to make a point with the local CBS affiliate - with her van. The woman, who is part of a love triangle that allegedly caused a murder, took offense at the station's news crew shooting video of her house. The sheriff's office is having her charged with assault with a deadly weapon.
What is it with Henry DiCarlo and Megan Henderson? I guess KTLA figures those harassment classes don't apply to talent.
KFI's John & Ken are at it again. This time, they're characterizing poor children on government assistance as "little Solyndrites." a reference to the failed solar energy company who took half a billion dollars in government loans before going bankrupt. (Media Matters)
The Media Rating Council, a non-profit association "whose goal is to ensure measurement services that are valid, reliable and effective," has pulled accreditation for Arbitron's people meter radio numbers in Riverside-San Bernardino as well as four others. Arbitron's batting average is not great - with the addition of the latest five, 39 of the 48 markets that use PPM are unaccredited.
Now you can see more of Henry DiCarlo and his antics because I saw a commerical during the KTLA 6pm news of KTLA Morning News now starting at 4am. Chris Schauble also tweeted about it:
ReplyDelete@chrisktla: LIVE local TV news in #LosAngeles at 4am? Yes! Starting tomorrow @KTLAMorningNews begins at 4am! C U mañana! @MeganHenderson Please RT :D
KTLA can get away with that since they have no national news to show at 4. Sadly, even the Big 3 will likely follow suit eventually. Because hey, local news makes more money!
