WVUE Channel 8 New Orleans Anti-LSU

Channel 8 rarely carries LSU sports news, but when it does it's after a loss, or after a player is in trouble, etc. Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but the station owner IS Tom Benson who owns the Saints and Pelicans and he IS a ruthless businessman. Can we say slam any possible rival for the entertainment dollars available?

Been that way for years in NOLA.

This is why I was rooting for the Saints to move to San Antonio

That's because the ratings for general college sports news in NOLA is pretty low. Residents care more about the area pro teams

He's co-owner, and isn't very involved on how the station is run.

If this is the case, then that is both a bad editorial & business decision. I'm from N.O. & everybody I know follows LSU.

and he IS a ruthless businessman.

LSU has ties to a rival station WWL. This is not abnormal.

Considering roughly half of the on air talent that Benson employs are LSU grads, I'd so no.
