WGCL thought the pool agreement was slow to respond to breaking news (and we have none of the around here, right?). Read more about the Atlanta situation here. [...]

I don’t fully understand the logistics of it all but I don’t know that its outside the realm of possibility.

WSB and WGCL have the right idea. The stuff we share is junk and makes us look stupid.

Everytime I read your posts, I wonder why you visit this site.
You are clearly not a local television person, however, I believe you to be smarter than the average bear, but your comments are largely boo boos.

Oh, well, never mind.

And, I’m not so sure about the term “zero-sum mentality” being applicable in this instance anyway.

Have at it, I still believe in the free market.

Anybody who remembers the often short lived collaborations between radio newsrooms and t-v assignment desks should be nodding in agreement right about now. As you mentioned in your commentary, news directors are genetically turf wired and consider it heresy to give up any of it no matter what they promised when putting the deal together. It’s going to take a lot more than just nibbling around the edges to get looming budget problems under control.
