One gal that does the news alone always looks sick. Is it the lighting or makeup or what? People on the other channels look OK.

Thank goodness for speed reading, my radio tape recorder and my DVR (no commercials)!

More goodness to the Internet, a DVD player and books (hard copy and audio) and the LIBRARY that can get just about any book from just about anywhere!

Boo to the radio and TV stations/channels that start with something exciting that happened last week or last month!

Say Kootenai 300 times real fast.

Yep, I do miss Jon Duane and Chris Kelly (KIDO). Now it takes 3 to do the work of 2.

Gemma might help…don’t count on the elitist (her). She is so phoney Dirk had to leave town.

Is this Norton the kid or grandkid of Norton on the Jackie Gleason show? Whoops, showing my age.

Why would I as a radio station/network or TV station/network advertise my own advertising? Seems like a waste of air time. The different forms of media should agree to advertise for each other and everyone wins. Or they all lose.

Over and out!

The newspapers that have increased readership have been in the markets where population has exploded like the southwest, but these increases do not make up for the significant losses at the national level. The point that I make is that newspapers, like ice boxes for the home, is a dying business and whatever tricks newspapers may try to reinvent themselves, if their basic product is printed papers they will not survive.

In my opnion the newspapers that will survive are those that offer a new business model like electronic versions, and not just an electronic version of the printed paper..more like the Wall Street Journal On-line edition that charges a premium for their on-line version but offers additional content not available in print and an advance source on the news to be printed the next morning.

Maybe all local weatherpersons should do this, so the local charities could have a steady source of funding.

Think either of them know about the WWW?

(wasn’t that one of Roosevelt’s programs…?)

(CELEBRITY, meet GRAVITAS)

I just wish they would get some proof readers.
Now, I ain’t that smart and even I constantly see typos and wrong wording/words in their articles.
Gezz…

We jump back and forth during local news but usually watch 2 (or is that eight? No, only on cable.) All of the old faces are gone and the young ladies, like me, seem to be fighting an unsuccessful battle with the bulge. Or are they, unlike me, all pregnant?

I don’t expect people who just moved here to pronounce some of our odd place names correctly.
Most people mispronounce my name for the same reason – it’s odd.

It must be tough for the local stations to compete with all the cable/satellite news out there except for the tiny bit of local stuff they offer up.

The Statesman pretty much just prints whatever was on tv last night along with lifted stories from the news services. Its pathetic. However it really annoys me that they are going after the Business Review just because they are bigger. I would probably cancel the Statesman over this except I like to read Letters to the Editor and do the crossword. Guess I could do that online?

I also like the idea of voting for who should get tto proclaim him/herself “Idaho’s Chief Meteorologist.” First requirement should be that the candidate possess a degree in meteorology. That would eliminate many of our tv weather guessers, with the obvious exception of Penn Stater Scott Dorval.

Finally, its good to hear that people (viewers) are actually aware that the kids paid to play reporters on Boise tv can’t read or write above elementary school level. I’ve said it before – we deserve better. Wouldn’t it be fun to have a show on our little local TVTV channel that pointed out all the stupid things said that day on the alleged tv news programs, like that show “Talk Soup” on Comedy Central. It could be called – “They actually said that!”

EDITOR NOTE–GUARDIAN readers do quite well with their DOPE REPORTER AWARDS. Just search “dope” on the search engine at right for winners.
