Blogger chimes-in

"Charles" has a very popular Charleston Blog. Thought you might enjoy his latest:

WSAZ TV Weekend News

It really frosts me when I try to watch channel 3 news on the weekends. During the week they have a nifty split newscast with a 10 minute Charleston only news segment (hosted by Penny Moss at 6 and the lovely Jessica Ralston at 11) that focuses on what's important to us here in the Capital City. But on weekends and holidays they scrap the Charleston cast and show only the Huntingtonized version, which has a ratio of about 4 Kentucky stories and 3 Ohio stories to 2 Huntington stories to maybe one Charleston story. I can always find out whose dog got run over by the volunteer fire department's truck in Paintsville, but I can't get a follow-up on the murder investigation on the West Side.

And it pisses me off!

Their interns probably don't know where Charleston is.
With their big layoff of their Charleston studio employees and their massive budget cuts due to poor
2008 advertising dollars, does anyone even work in the Charleston studio on weekends ?
