WAFB-TV's Corporate ownership was recently sold to a "cut-every-expense" TV group. One wonders if Ms. Mercedes saw the budget-cutting handwriting on the wall, and if so, good for her.

Hunter Thompson said it best:

The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason.


I subscribe to the not-attributed-to-him statement:

There's also a negative side.

Yup. Alabama retirement system decided to cash out. Looks like golf courses pay better returns. Google Raycom TV sale.

Merry Christmas Paul.

They have Paducah with cape Girardeau and some town in Illinois. I'm guessing this means you can pick up Paducah over the air from cape with a decent antenna.

Westbrook doesn’t come off as goofy. I think Steet Beat and Vowell are awesome together at 10:00.

Jacques is by far the goofiest, most awkward guy in local sports though. I’m convinced he’s behind the spoof Jim Hawthorne twitter account. He tries so hard with that shite.

I think you and Doucet need to get in the ring. You clearly have it out for the guy. I will promote this fight if you let me.

I’m down. I don’t hate the guy by any means. I’ve met him at at his softball event and he’s no doubt a nice dude. But he’s also cheesy. That’s that the discussion I was replying to was about. It was about local newscasters being cheesy, not about how nice they are.

Here’s my prediction - before she gets to Houston, she’ll have a little surgery and get a new “do”. The next time you see her you won’t recognize her.

First person to ever move from BR to Houston for better job prospects



Yeah really. Some of these people just need to go to Houston and see for themselves how many have moved from Louisiana to Houston over the years, it's staggering. They love taking advantage of better paying jobs, no state income tax, great schools, no tax on groceries, cheap electric, car insurance is half, etc...

She’s incredibly meh. How did she get on TV with those looks. Time to hire some tight arse fresh chick out of LSU.



She was a smoke show in college. I has her as a TA for the mandatory communication class at ULL.
