Comments on: FCC May Probe WHNT’s Siegelman Blackout http://writechic.wordpress.com/2008/03/04/fcc-may-probe-whnts-siegelman-blackout/ Wed, 23 Dec 2009 02:40:57 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: tvtwit http://writechic.wordpress.com/2008/03/04/fcc-may-probe-whnts-siegelman-blackout/#comment-1595 tvtwit Wed, 05 Mar 2008 19:32:11 +0000 http://writechic.wordpress.com/?p=464#comment-1595 WHNT is a small television market. Chances are they don't have timed delays and backups. It really could have been an honest, unavoidable mistake. It sounds like some newsroom ass clowns told people it was New York's problem when they didn't know what the hell they were talking about. WHNT is a small television market.

If the people in the WHNT newsroom had not conjured the story that it was New York's fault and changed their story to "our bad" when CBS said that's crap, then I suspect this would be much less of an issue.

The company that owns the station now bought it from the NYT's. Do you not find it ironic that the NYT's is doing a hit piece on a station it owned less than a year ago? Would they have done this piece on this station if it still owned it? I doubt it very seriously. Also did you know that the general manager of WHNT-TV19, Stan Pylant, is a registered Democrat and he became the station manager less than 2 months ago? These stories about a conspiracy are a bunch of none-sense. This is just another reason to waste tax payer dollars. Do we not have better things to spend our hard earned money on in this country?
