Interesting way to increase pageviews. Gotta pay for those Facebook giveaways somehow?

I really do like Local10 news but their Facebook posts have really gone from professional to straight up immature. I’m sure they’re getting a lot of click throughs from it, but is it really worth giving up their integrity?
WPLG Local 10’s facebook is garbage now. It used to be informative, now it’s gone downhill! I think NBC 6 South Florida has great news posts on facebook/twitter.
It may be time for me to “Unlike” WPLG.
They are not in the business of informing you. News is just a means to an end.
They are in the business of gathering eyeballs for advertisers any way that they can. They do it with boob shots and giveaways or whatever they dream up.
They would do it with porn if the audience would accept that.
Yeah, very silly. But their on air presence is really suffering too. They hired that god-awful blogger, Bob Norman. His reports are biased and he looks like a SLOB all the time. Doesn’t anyone know how to iron a shirt anymore? Putney has class, Turchin does a great job, but Norman is a sleaze.
I really only watch Local 10 for Jacey Birch and Janine Stanwood. I think Turchin does a fine job with his reporting but he also does very well with anchoring as a fill in on the weekends.
“guy’s?” Guys is plural, not possessive in that context. Some intern who posts on the station’s Facebook page must have done that. I’ll stick to channels 4 and 7, thank you very much.
The main thing I watch on local 10 is the weather report. They have the best graphics package, even though they tell you tomorrow’s forecast 3-4 times in different ways. The rest of the “news” is forgettable. The shooting of the day usually leads off. Then they have a story about a car chase or a bear stuck in a tree with video. Then they allocate about 30 seconds for sports. I do like Weinsier’s reports for the entertainment value. And I agree that Putney is a class act, on and off the air.

at least channel 10 has women that actually have tits…….still searching at channel 7………
I predict Ch7 will be the first to hire an anchor who was previously a porn star or had their own porn site.
And they will fit in perfectly with the team.
