Did anyone see 2 News this morning around 7 am?
An apartment fire in Draper, and they stay live with it for at least 20 minutes. Shots from the helicopter. And the anchors were begging for people who live near there to call them and describe what they see. They even interviewed a few of them live on the air.
WTF was that? Was the news so slow this morning that they could stay with an apartment fire for nearly 1/2 hour.
Holy crap - bad TV Batman!!!

I think a fire would be a lot better to watch than KSL talking about traffic traps in Provo from their broomcloset in Provo.
All kidding aside, producers make the calls and usually decide that fire and death are better than anything else. I mean hey... they got you to watch it for 30 minutes. Money says the crew wouldn't have spent more than 5 minutes on it if they made the call.

Was the news so slow this morning that they could stay with an apartment fire for nearly 1/2 hour. Channel 2 covered the fire story in length again at the 10pm newscast (which isn't unusual for the news), but this story dragged on --- including high action adventure with the male anchor outside acting like the father with some other person throwing a stuffed moose out of a two story window. (Re-inacting the mother throwing the children out to the father). Glad Mark caught that stuffed moose on live television or else he would've looked really silly. Wait, he did look silly trying to re-inact the situation. I didn't get it. We just saw the story in the package and then they have to re-inact it with the wonderful acting skills, as if we don't know how high 2-stories are on a building. Thanks for that insight Channel 2.  I will now be glued to my television set for more insightful updates right after a package story that make the total story draaaaaag on. Maybe next time I'll learn how to wash my hands with one of the anchors inspiring me with an as-if-live from the studio bathroom. Should we go over the ABC's as well? Channel 4 spent a considerable amount of time on it too at around the 4:30pm-5:00pm-ish newscast. At this time they had a 1/2 pieced together package, but the woman reporter told the story well in her AIL stand-up. I'm sure the story was more complete on the later newscasts. |
