slim4155 5 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Every station carried the Mayor's speech about the murders live when he started at 6, and covered it at least until he was done if not until the 7pm hour. Every station that is except CBS2. I found that very disappointing from a station that desperately needs ratings Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15367-emmanuel-news-conference/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

slim4155 5 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 I get that, but I don't see a reason they shouldn't have carried it during the 6pm newscast. It was wrapped up by 645 which would have given them time for a recap, short commentary and weather update. I just see a glaring lack of breaking news coverage from them for the past year or so.

brianpr3 178 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 WBBM had to turn to Thursday night football is the contract air tight that if there was a local emergency(except weather warnings) that they cant preempt the game?

Jay Russell 25 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 And honestly it was just a press confrence if they had good ratings for Thursday Night Football i would not want to break in either Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15367-emmanuel-news-conference/#findComment-160253 Share on other sites More sharing options...
