Sad. Back in the day, WWL was the gold standard for a local news cast. Fox 8 is kicking their arse and looks like this will continue.

Apparently it takes 3-5M to operate a local smaller market news station I just learned.

Morgan City has always seemed a little bit off and a whole lot suspect to me.
