WGCL is going HiDef soon, no? Hopefully, those graphics won’t be so obnoxious once they make the switch…

Gooberpeas: What’s worse in the tooting-your-own-horn department are the WSB ads, which essentially say “When news breaks (even if it’s meaningless bullshit), we swarm all over it like ants on a dead parakeet.”

those graphics at the bottom of the screen are a pain for sure…even the small ones tend to block something…..

I realize that stations have to continually toot their own horn, otherwise people forget which channel they’re watching…..but c’mon!

they can keep their 5, 7, 10 mins of what they call news. Atlanta news has never been about “letting the viewer decide.” It’s full of spin, spin, and more spin. Somebody please let them know that in today’s tech world, we see the feeds the same time they do and can see the spin.

I say get rid of the news cast all together or atleast give me 5 mins when its happening. Who cares if your reporter is outside the police headquaters 6 hours after it happened.
