CalItalian2 163 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 At 1:22 am PST there was an EAS test in the middle of Fox 11's crappy coverage. Can it get any more embarassing for them?

CalItalian2 163 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 KTLA had better coverage during fires in the 1960's in Los Angeles than KTTV is tonight overnight.

Eat News 4745 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 SkyFox was up last night but remember they were 2 hours late vs. everyone else. Meanwhile... In Butte County, that fire has destroyed much, much more...and no station is wall to wall...and nobody is flying at night. Go figure.

This is market #2 where well over $120 million in political ad revenues were just spent on broadcast media. You expect more. KTTV was better when it was a MetroMedia station covering fires live than it is tonight.

In Butte County, that fire has destroyed much, much more...and no station is wall to wall...and nobody is flying at night. Go figure. At 1:45 am, 30,000 people have been evacuated in the Oak Park, Bell Canyon, Woolsey fire(s). Probably eclipses the amount of people evacuated in Butte County. Not downplaying the devistation there. Evacuations now coming south of the 101.

CalItalian2 163 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 Quickly saw Fox 11 was running coverage out of the newsroom rather than studio.

CalItalian2 163 Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 Fox 11 reported that Los Robles Regional Medical Center where many of the shooting victims were taken was preparing to evacuate. That was incorrect and they had to retract on air. The ultimate embarrasment for KTTV from both of these tragedies.

Eat News 4745 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Well I guess KTTV needs some practice on breaking news. I guess people are lucky it's on the overnight. And I'm afraid to tune in KNX, KBCS 740am and KFBK to see how they are all doing on the various fires. I would just be further disappointed. Hey...did you see that 690 am out of baja switched format to Chinese?

FiveNews 372 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 All of the main anchors have shown why they are main anchors in market #2 these past few days. KCBS (Pat Harvey/Jeff Michael), KNBC (Chuck and Colleen), KTLA (Micah/Cher/Rick Chambers), KABC (Marc/Michelle). These people KNOW Southern California. They KNOW what happens out here every fall with the winds and the fires. All stations absolutely kicked ass in their coverage. I am a Christine Devine fan, have been one since she came into the market, but KTTV really saddled her credibility the past few days. Its not her fault as she is only working with the resources and direction she has but KTTV truly embarrassed themselves. They have market veterans as well (Phil Shuman/Susan Hirasuna, et al), but they were way behind from the get go and never recovered. I hate to bring this up as it is not important right now, but does anyone have ratings? I believe KTLA has been on the air wall to wall since their shooting coverage happened around 11:30pm Wednesday night. Can anyone confirm?

If you don't have the budget, or resources to cover a disaster correctly then DON'T cover it. Why not leave it to the other gazillion local stations covering the exact same story? Some folks don't want to have anything to do with watching local disasters unfold, they want their TMZ. The KTTV coverage has been ass backwards at the best. Why suddenly do they try to "recover" in the middle of the night? Pack it up KTTV, stick to all the other "news" happening out there that's cheaper to cover. Nobody in the biz wants to sit out a "big one" but if your hands are tied behind your back it's sometimes best to just move on to something else where you can do a better job.

I believe KTLA has been on the air wall to wall since their shooting coverage happened around 11:30pm Wednesday night. Can anyone confirm? Totally agree. And I had my doubts about Jeff Michael. But he's proved to me that he deserves his promotion to main anchor along with Pat Harvey. He started to repeat some of his knowledge too many times overnight. That would be my only criticism. As for KTTV, I would be embarassed if I had to work there. They really had nothing to offer overnight until their first field report at 1:41 am. The continuing coverage on every station this morning is just steller. Even KTTV is looking better but they do not compare to the quality broadcasts coming from the other 4 newsrooms in L.A..

mre29 1519 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 So, KABC, KCBS, KNBC, and KTLA have been in continuing coverage since Wednesday night? That's damn impressive.

rkolsen 1684 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 One thing I just thought of about KABC’s coverage last night or the day before they sent out a push alert saying they were continuing coverage online when they went into primetime. I have to ask why didn’t they move coverage to the zombie channel Live Well on 7.2 or even LAFF on 7.3. By going online only you are alienating a significant portion of their audience. Yes, subchannels aren’t carried on satellite but that’s why you also stream online. These subchannels are on every platform and over the air but that’s why you stream.

Live Well, KABC TV 7.2, is carried on Spectrum & almost all of the small cable systems in most of the greater L.A. area. KTLA always simulcasts news from 10-11:30 pm weekdays on Antenna TV, KTLA 5.2, so I do see why others couldn't have during network programming. Everybody was, except KTTV & KNBC early on during the shooting (both) and fires (KTTV only), were streaming continuously on Facebook, also.

CalItalian2 163 Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 Somebody has lit a fire under management at KTTV, as a new fire erupted in the Rialto-Fontana-Devore area and Fox 11 continued their coverage beyond the 10 pm news. The fire started in the latter part of the 10 pm gour.

CalItalian2 163 Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 While CBS 2 airs the funeral of the Ventura County sheriff's deputy who was shot in the shootout last week, KCAL 9 is running CBS programming. Has been since 11:30 AM today (Young and the Restless, The Bold & The Beautiful and The Talk). KCAL 9 did not air their newscast at noon. NBC 4, KTLA 5, ABC 7 and Fox 11 are also airing the funeral live.
