It's looking less likely that this was committed by someone who is Muslim so of course they don't care about it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnya2k6 171 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 WSB sent their weekend anchor Justin Wilfon to Las Vegas, though it should've been Craig Lucie or Justin Farmer; WAGA’s Russ Spencer could be on his way as well.

Mrtraveler01 737 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Not going wall-to-wall with a major story can actually be a strategy... Not everyone wants to watch rolling coverage of something and would rather watch Judge Judy or whatever. There are three other stations covering it plus the cable networks.... They're not doing a disservice by offering an alternative for people to escape from reality for a bit. I do believe that the were covering it as much as the other local Vegas stations. The difference is that KLAS didn't have a consistent stream of their coverage (NewsOn didn't have a stream going for KLAS either). This just highlights the significant disadvantage that Nexstar stations (at least ones that weren't formerly LIN stations) have when it comes to covering breaking news events because they don't bother to invest in equipment that will let them stream their news coverage.

At least Sinclair streams its newscasts at most of their stations (although it's only during the times they go live on-air). Nexstar really needs to get with the program on this one.

Eat News 4738 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Agreed. Unfortunately we have someone here who made jokes after the last major shooting (Pulse Nightclub in Orlando) and after the recent hurricanes, and disguise it as "humor" while others turn a blind eye because the poster is a regular. So make your case bub. How about you repost what offended you so much. I for one would like to know just how sensitive you are. You won't repost it...because it was NEVER offensive to begin with. You still haven't defined "inappropriate"...from your last lame rant. Go ahead and take shots at me if you wish. I can handle you with one fin cut off and in the soup....in my sleep.

I thought KFMB sent their own crew and truck since Shannon had a KFMB mic flag. I knew she was already town but did not know that KLAS was helping them out.

A3N 996 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I didn't realize that they didn't stream the shows. I wonder what's behind that decision? They used to stream the newscasts on an app called Syncbak a few years ago, then for one reason or another they discontinued it. They have never consistently streamed their newscasts online except for a few major breaking news situations over the years. I'm not sure why they don't stream-- monetization? Advertisement restrictions? who knows. The sad part is that KUSI whom didn't even have a fully functioning website up until 10 years ago or so, streams their newscasts online. Go figure.

Dunno who the international outlets (BBC, ITV, Sky, CBC, CTV, Global, the Aussie networks, etc.) deployed... I know Global sent out a national reporter/camera and producer. CTV sent out three crews as well - one of which is their Los Angeles reporter. Not sure about CBC in terms of numbers (it'll be a lot though).

Eat News 4738 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 You have a sick sense of humor. The kids say "sick" is the bombdiddy. Maybe you could ask another user where the "ignore" button is. Now that you have ducked my responses I ask you this... Are you over 18...because I don't think you are mature enough to be in these forums. You have proof of age?
