Better Serve
I believe local broadcasters are finally
being forced to present programming that serves the needs of local
residents. We are being forced out of the entertainment business
because cable, with more than a hundred channels,
has captured that audience. This will present us with a challenge and
yet an ability to broadcast content in substantial amounts as we should
have broadcast over the last thirty years as Nevada grew and developed a
whole new series of problems. In September
we will begin a one-hour news program at 7 PM. We anticipate that in
August we will be changing another hour of programming and replacing
that with an hour of news. In September 2014, we will replace Dr. Phil
with an hour of news. It is a major undertaking
for us, but we believe we will better serve all of you.

We recently got something called ROKU when we dumped cable. It has thousands of shows & apparently you can produce your own show.
ReplyDeleteI really hope the new programs feature Investigative Journalism and helps explain why things are they are. Most of us transplants wonder why the Transit Systems, Hospital Systems, Education, etc. seem to lack planning and organization, especially when there was plenty of money available during the Vegas Valleys Boom Years.
ReplyDeleteThe Nightly fire, re-reading of National News, and endless teasers on current newscasts just cause me to change channels and get local news elsewhere. I do find Ralston Reports the best there is and also wish we had a station very similar to WTOP in the Washington D.C. Market. News Traffic and Weather 24/7.
