• Just about 4 years ago, KOMO Radio call letters were changed to KNWN.

• Commercials that include people dancing due to happiness with the product. Give me a break! I was at the gym and unable to change the tv channel, two different advertisers, back to back, people dancing with joy. GAG ME!!!!

• Updated BROADCASTER listings. Every name has at least one station listed; https://www.qzvx.com/broadcasters/ if you have additional info on any of the personalities listed, email me at jremington@qzvx.com

• Suddenly, it is not such a bad deal --- “We need more competition against THE ENEMY, the Fake News National TV Networks,” Trump wrote on social media. “Letting Good Deals get done like Nexstar — Tegna will help knock out the Fake News because there will be more competition. ... GET THAT DEAL DONE.”

• I have been listening to AC “92.9 The Wave” WTWV-FM Suffolk/Norfolk VA this morning. Yacht Rock. The commercial breaks kill the vibe. Loud, crashing, upsetting, hard-sell.

  • Not so sure the music selection fits. Some of it is "NOISE" meant for a harder format.

    • Overall, it works. The commercial interruptions can't be avoided and fans of the format will keep the station on for hours at a time. I give WTWV FM a thumbs up!

• Tony Dokoupil will never be another Cronkite, not even a Rather.

  
  

  • Interestingly, buyouts are being offered inside the news division — specifically the “CBS Evening News.” The buyouts are reportedly a “bid to cull some jobs that are not tied to the union agreement that governs the majority of the staff.”

    Notice the part about the jobs “not tied to the union agreement.”

    The timing is sorta curious, considering the “CBS Evening News” is undergoing a major reboot with Dokoupil taking over as anchor just a little more than three weeks ago.

    • Easier to control a smaller crew, maybe. Plus, she will be bringing in players from her team.

• Pretti was Italian. But by appearance, maybe someone at the network thought the facial characteristics pointed to another ethnicity. Why would alterations to his picture be necessary? Very shady shenanigans going on with mainstream media.

• Reports show CBS Evening News is on track for its lowest January ratings since at least 2000, while Stephen Colbert is seeing his worst January ever among adults 25–54—the key demographic for advertisers.
  Lessons:
  • Preaching instead of reporting doesn’t work
  • Lecturing instead of entertaining doesn’t sell
  • Talking at Americans instead of listening drives viewers away

• Sports coverage (Seahawks) and news, local, FOX Local, and Matthew Smith on the Live Desk--FOX 13 KCPQ is the place to turn for the most current and comprehensive news. Very impressive.
  The only downside--Studio 13. At the tail end of the Monday segment, the guest from a local health spa, had lost her voice screaming during yesterday's Seahawks game. The interview was done in a hoarse whisper. Just stupid. To be expected, this program is nonsense and a waste of air time.
