I have been watching your news program lately and it appears you don’t have enough news for the program, so you kill time by advertising your news program during the news over and over. You should report news not advertise it. It is hard to figure out what is news and what is advertisement.
Also, you should not lie to your viewers. For example, you announce that coming up next you will have a story about cat’s. But, when you return, you have a story on drunk driving. At totally different subject.
Why do you have to use the words next, coming up next, when we return, or later in our broadcast just to go to a commercial?
We are watching the news now, so don’t waste your time or ours by needlessly promoting an upcoming story about elephants over and over again.
You never heard Walter Cronchite say next, coming up next, when we return, or later in our broadcast. He simply reported the news. He was a real News Reporter not an Anchor-Desk Announcer.
Report the news. Don’t advertise it. Is your news broadcast a news report or an entertainment program?
On the 5:00 PM NEWS or ENTERAINMENT you advertise coming up at 5:30 PM news on Tripe.
On the 5:30 PM NEWS or ENTERAINMENT you advertise coming up at 6:00 PM news on Elephants.
On the 6:00 PM NEWS or ENTERAINMENT you advertise coming up at 6:30 PM news on Tripe.
On the 6:30 PM NEWS or ENTERAINMENT you advertise coming up at 11:00 PM news on Elephants.
On the 11:00 PM NEWS or ENTERAINMENT you advertise coming up at 12:00 PM tomorrow news on Tripe.
On the 12:00 PM NEWS or ENTERAINMENT you advertise coming up at 5:00 PM news on Elephants.
Enough of this promotional garbage….. Give us news and only news.
If you don’t have enough NEWS to fill the allocated time, air the NEWS only once per day or simply repeat the same news for people who missed the earlier broadcast.
News is News, Spam is Spam and Tripe is Tripe. Don’t report spam or
tripe over and over. Stick to the news! Don’t force us to listen to your
lying promotional hype.
