KTUL losing talent?

[Neptune]

Yeah...they all seem like good people.  Charles and Carol have been there forever...and IMO...the newscast looks a little dated sometimes.  But if its working...no reason to change.

They had the effrontery to SPIKE their re-broadcast of Ch. 47's Vision 2025 Debate just a day before the election, and instead aired a re-run of "Cheers".  How informative!

"Technical difficulties", they harrumphed. Sure.

If you'd have e-mailed me, I'd have explained those technical difficulties. TV-47 was supposed to give us a clean copy of the debate, meaning no logos, no graphics, etc. We didn't get that. We got one with logos on it. Could we have aired it? Yeah, probably. But, we didn't and we had to take the heat for it. But, to say it was because one side did better than the other or that we had a bias toward one side or the other would be incorrect.

Well, Ch. 8 certainly shouldn't tolerate those pesky little logo's, should they?  What a convenient excuse!

You could have aired it.  

You should have aired it IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST.

You did NOT air it.

Guess Channel 8 management was too busy cashing those ADVERTISING checks from the Vision 2025 Tax Vampires, hmmmmmmh?

Well, it's PAYBACK time.......

Channel 2 or 6 do JUST FINE.

Channel 8:  R.I.P.

What is funny is that we received just as many if not more e-mails from people FOR Vision 2025 that were upset we didn't air it. They argued we didn't air it because we were against it. You should see some of the e-mails I get telling us we're the most conservative station on earth and that they'll no longer watch. They ususally double those from conservatives who say we're too liberal.

PS - as I said, you're either going to take that as an 'excuse' or the 'reason'. Take it as you want.

Except for the NFL, a little baseball and some college football that I can catch with my old-fashioned rabbit ears, I don't watch television at all. I canceled my cable way back in 2000 and don't miss it.

So where does that put me?

In good company.

And Channel 8 does have the best website of the local TV stations IMO.

Well...maybe its a tie...KTUL and KOTV.

Fox is always a day behind...or they don't cover the story at all.  KJRH......yikes.  Virtually no local content there.

[pmcalk]

I like KOTV's website--especially the e-clips.  KTUL is a lot more limited with that--maybe they could increase it?  For those of us who don't watch tv too frequently, it is nice to catch it on the computer.

[Neptune]

Yeah...KOTV's site is pretty cool.

I don't watch TV news much either.  I find that by website...I can get basically everything I want...and I can ignore the murders, and weird happenings that I'd prefer not to know about.

I'd like to see one of the TV websites...go "local" crazy...and get into detail about all the projects going on.

[D.Schuttler]

I just think it's sad , it won't be a local station that does the investigated story into the corruptness of the sound program for the airport.

But then again a story on a news station is forgotten news the next day.

Yes, it is so funny as to be UNBELIEVABLE that the Pro-Vision 2025 Tax Vampires wanted the Channel 47 Debate re-aired.

I don't believe it for one minute.

The Anti-Tax debaters mopped the floor with Bill LaFortune and his former TV mouthpiece personality Karen Keith during the Ch. 47 debate.  And, they did not want that spectacle re-aired to an even larger audience on Channel 8.

The Vision 2025 Vampires raised and spent $100,000's on TV advertising, including 30 minute long paid "Infomercials".  They had NO appetite for airing TWO sides of the tax increase debate.  NONE.

Sorry, it's NOT credible that they really wanted the Ch. 47 debate aired.  They also didn't want ANY public debate, and it was only with great effort that the Vote No organization was able to coerce a debate after the League of Women Voters shamed the Mayor and Dirty Bob Dick to come out from hiding, and debate.  

Tell us another TV Station whopper, like Crest is an effective decay preventive dentifrice.  

Or, Winston Tastes Good Like a Cigarette Should.

or, Eight's the Place.....

It's The Place I avoid like the Plague.

I would agree with that. KTUL and KOTV are the only websites that update during the day. In this day in age with more people checking news stories online during the day, I am surprised they not all updating daily. One thing I dont like about KOTV is that they dont have a business section on the homepage. But the thing I do like is the eclips. But I think KTUL has that too. KTUL has a better community calender.

I've actually started doing some more of these. I try to put every package we do on the internet. Unfortunately, we can't stream the entire 30 minute programs or I'd do that.

Channel 2 had the best website in the market when TV news websites were still a new thing. But, now that stations are seeing the importance of them, it's strange how theirs has dropped off bigtime. Ours has been named the Best Website in Oklahoma for three of the past four years, but KOTV has never been far behind. They keep me on my toes.

and a good job you do Kev. Although KOTV has updated the weather part of their website, I still check KTUL first. I like that we can put into motion the dopler thingy. It helps me to know in which direction the storm is heading.

Mornings I mostly watch KOTV because I think they are much more laid back and joke around more often. Thats exactly what I need in my mornings. But I typically watch KTUL after work. But I still like Good Day Tulsa if I am off work or playing sick.
