At one time in the WSB newsroom, the WXIA id tag under a monitor for them in the bank of montiors was turned upside down. They’ll never get it right.

i love news abbreviations.

1. “LSD” lead story died
2. “LLIGSTA” looks like i’m gonna shoot this alone
3. “LOAENWXS” look out assignment editor needs weather shot
4. “AAYGHTSGMSS” anchor appearance youre gonna have to shoot the general manager said so
5. “ECISYF” everyone called in sick Youre F*cked!

You know what they say:
If a tree falls …

and WGCL covers it, does any one see it?

It’s been replaced by DMA, or Designated Market Area. It does mean the same thing, though. But hey, I still like to say Vidifont and they haven’t made that wonderful character generator in years.

The new world of news that is cutbacks..maybe nationwide… but from what I can tell… WSB and WAGA are covering the news like it still was 1997.

WGCL was first with a live reporter from the scene and had family members and neighbors

Gas leaks, apartment fires and traffic jams are a dime a dozen, but law firms just don’t explode every day.
