bsp,

why do you
write all of
your posts as
if they were
poetry?


: Trying to create the illusion of a live
: weather reporter, throughout the night (and
: several times during the day)at the end of
: its newscasts WGN includes a pre-recorded weather report. Several weeks ago,on Steve Kings show, someone obviously screwed up and they played,
: what should have been the previously nights
: forecast which called for rain the next day,
: when the actual forecast was for sunshine.
: O.K. that can happen, but the problem
: is while Steve King read the correct forecast
: on the quarter hour, the newscasts continued
: to include the contradictory bogus forcast for the entire 6 hour show. I was waiting
: for someone to catch it but, neither, the news reader, Paula Cooper, or Steve or Johnnie, or the producer, etc. caught it. You'd think in
: 6 hours someone would have noticed.

: I know this is no longer 'news', but, hard
: telling how often this occurs. And, you
: know, some listeners actually depend on
: that forecast.
