This has nothing to do with what type of camera or price of the camera. This is Absolutely not what you get with a cell phone. I can take a $3000 camera with a $2000 lens and make a photo look this horrible in photoshop and I can take my cell phone and make an great photo.

The point is if people would take a few second and rotate their phone to the correct orientation and actually compose an interesting photo, they wouldn't need to turn the contrast up to nuclear holocaust levels... And the original point was that media outlets should know better than to show this junk.

I think the old KETV building is going to be razed for...parking. Church next door is or has already bought it.

I can already see the dig at KPTM-42.... "At least our 9 o'clock news doesn't originate from Fresno, CA."

Has anyone noticed that Erin Murray on WOWT6 can't go a single segment without having some kind of prop to show on air? My wife and I have made it into a game that we let out a loud cheer whenever she shows her phone to the camera or when she grabs a 2 liter bottle of pop to illustrate that everyone is drinking pop.

Tonight, Erin Murray wrote on a mirror with lipstick. Can't she just report on a story?

There is no gentle way to break the bad news to you. Numerous times you have stalked and attacked me in this forum and now you are stalking this reporter and attacking her. You are a stalker!

Yes! Thanks MOTHERSMUCKER for taking the bait I laid out for you! That was waaaaay to easy!
Now that you have recognized the bad character traits you exhibit, what are you going to do now to make yourself a beneficial member of these forums, instead of the jacka$$ that you've made as your persona?

Before Erin, there was Lauren Squires. Same shtick. I blame management for encouraging this.

Young women dosed to the eyeballs on LSD under the command of a delusional, self-declared prophet vs. a cannibalistic, sexually voracious monster? I'd pay money to see that deathmatch.

Couldn't it be a tie with both losing?

Has KETV announced a firm date for when they will begin broadcasting from the Burlington building?

Not that I have seen, but I am sure it will be very well publicized.

Nope. When the project was announced they were saying September of 2015. Early this year they were saying late 2015. On that 30 minute special it was mentioned something to the effect of as "we move over the coming weeks." Plus they showed a truck for an office relocating company so I'm guessing it isn't too far off.

I expect they'll take advantage of the fact they effectively have two sets to do a bunch of dry runs with the new equipment and set to iron out kinks before going live (something WOWT didn't have during their HD transition and new set). This is the set designer KETV chose which may give some clues to what to expect. http://www.newscaststudio.com/designers ... ign-group/

The old KETV building will be used by the church to expand their social services such as a food pantry and medical clinic.

Kountze Memorial Lutheran Church to take over KETV station after move

Channel 6 ran a teaser promo on the 10 pm news tonight, focusing on how the changing temperatures make people ill.

Wasn't that Old Wive's tale debunked by science at least 50 years ago?

While it's nonsense that the temperature change itself causes illness, there may be a co-relation of increased illness with falling temperatures due to various factors. Seasonal changes can bring different allergy triggers. Also, people tend to start staying inside more during colder weather, creating more opportunities for disease transmission.

Or, how about entering and exiting 'artificial atmospheres' too often. I work in a building where I have to wear a long sleeve shirt in the summer because they make my space to frickin cold...

WOWT was promoting a story at 5 p.m. tonight from their "exclusive" Washington bureau. About that... KETV has one through Hearst and they've had it for like 4 or 5 years.

Creighton Soccer #1
UNO Hockey #1
Royals and Cubs in Post season.
Huskers 3-4

I bet you can guess which one of the 4 the local media will cover...

Now, that is being judgemental and ungrateful. Remember, KETV actually has video of the Mavs at least once a week and channels 3and 6 say the word Mav at least once a season. What more do you expect?

More fantastic reporting @ WOWT.

A westbound deputy on 132nd St. collides with eastbound car on Maple St.

How do you mess up the video, as well as the print on a story?

I drove by there about an hour ago. It was a MESS! The cruiser appeared to be going north on 132nd.

How do they mess it up? Inattention to details!
