WXmanTim 88 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Yeah...that makes sense: a Des Moines station producing a newscast for a Cedar Rapids station. Because that worked so well when Bahakel tried it in the Carolinas.

Mrtraveler01 738 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Yeah...that makes sense: a Des Moines station producing a newscast for a Cedar Rapids station. Because that worked so well when Bahakel tried it in the Carolinas. Actually it was the other way around. KGAN which is the CBS station in Cedar Rapids produced the newscast from its studios in Cedar Rapids and simulcasted the newscast on KDSM in Des Moines as well as KFXA which is Fox in Cedar Rapids. I never really understood why they would do that way, except that it was probably cheap, because both markets are decently sized and cover a large area that it would be hard to make it Des Moines or Cedar Rapids centric. I think WHO will do a much better job with the newscast than KGAN was. It sounded like it was a real joke but then again its Sinclair so I'm not suprised.

It was a joke because of the crap KGAN had to put up with from the peeps at KDSM... The reason it was outsourced to KGAN in the first place was because they are both Sinclair stations and the fact that KDSM had no equipment of its own.
