Brain 81 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Once again were talking about the rogue hermit of station group of SJL/Lilly and WICU/WSEE. I hate to get on the soapbox right now, but even for that tiny market, is a little better investment in the stations too much to ask for? I know that you can't fix what isn't broken, but somebody is going to have to step up eventually and make the big investment. We shall see.

Rbulger23 2 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 You are absolutely correct. As someone who grew up there and has seen their different incarnations, I'd have to say this their lowest point on the local news ladder. I believe Lilly has no intention making this group a competitive news organization. I emailed the station a while back in regards to them supposedly revamping the news set. My email went unanswered. And as of today, they remain on the same tired set with a horrible graphics package. WICU has a great legacy. What a shame Lilly wouldn't want to further that. Sorry, rant over.

Brain 81 Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Look, it's OK. It's Not like their Nexstar competition isn'the too far behind either. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15543-wicuwsee/#findComment-166792 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 2447 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Look, it's OK. It's Not like their Nexstar competition isn'the too far behind either. Plus, ENN airs at times that JET-24 doesn't like 12:30pm, 7:00pm and weekend mornings.

Brain 81 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Actually, they did do 7pm news from some point until 1992. So it's not the first time news for them aired at 7.

jbnews 344 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 The News Director told me they might get a new set this year. I'll ask him if he has anymore details. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15543-wicuwsee/#findComment-166883 Share on other sites More sharing options...
