Reports have also surfaced that KAEF wiped out their news operation — sans two reporters — in tiny Eureka, CA. This is bad for two reasons: one, Sinclair put out the best product in town and, two, their competition is KIEM. Longtime participants at TVNT know how terrible KIEM is with their junior high-level production quality. That station now puts on newscasts full of screenshots of local news blogs with very few local sound bites. Hopefully but not ideally, the KAEF changes just mean that newscasts are produced from their sister station or there are local inserts in the sister station’s newscasts like in the 80s and 90s.
