Ntropolis 593 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Probably depends on the market. WGBA I'm surprised because of the Packers. WTKR dumped weekday sportscasts, they only have sports on weekends but cover local sports on weekdays if needed. WWAY also does not have a sports department. WTEN tried dumping sports a couple years ago, but brought it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que 73 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 DFW is a big sports market, like Nathan said, it depends on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who?cares 253 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I don't look for any stations to outsource here, Indy is a HUGE sports market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jestbiteme 13 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 . WTEN tried dumping sports a couple years ago, but brought it back. Chuck, Didn't WTRF try the same thing? Having the anchors read sports? Or they did an L-bar with sports scores during the last block, or something. Funny, they tried to kill local sports, but we still had to suffer through Bray Cary's Inside Nascar. They ended up bringing that back and losing the poorly produced Nascar segment. There was also talk of dumping/cutting back sports at KDKA a few years ago, but nothing ever happened with that.

CDubya87 0 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 KSNW did the same thing. They dumped sports and then ended up bringing it back. Then they got Jim Kobbe. "Hey, Fuck Off Buzz!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtmclaug 43 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 This'll be interesting to watch. WGBA's ratings could drop drastically. Only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
