newsfanatic 4 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 http://www.vartv.com/pdf/WTKR_2009_08_14.pdf Apparently, the biggest sports story of the summer was broken by the station that had that long history of not being very good.... was not expecting this...

tvpirate05 1 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Thursday night, they actually showed a timeline of how the events unfolded. Ted Alexander broke in during the Redskins pregame show around 7:30. ESPN didn't pick it up until about an hour later. Friday night, they did a package on how everything went down. It was a nice score for 'TKR, and self-promotion for the station is always good. I just think the timeline and a package were a bit much. ;-) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/5684-the-michael-vick-saga-was-first-broken-by-babs-and-wtkr-wow/#findComment-53345 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Surprised they were first, as I had the TV on ESPN to catch the Super Bowl 43 rematch. Good for 'TKR. Had this been a year ago, I'd have been shocked.

Had this been a year ago, I'd have been shocked. Definitely....about a year ago, we were all looking to the demise of their news department. Now that they're getting back to the vague concept of journalism, it's been going well for them. Plus, they do have the #1 Midday News and beat WVEC for #2 at 11.....
