TV news in Portland

Submitted by Riposte on Thu, 07/03/2008 - 3:40pm.

I'm new to Portland but it makes no sense to me that we have four (are there more?) complete news teams here in Portland. They show the same news, the same weather and sports, at about the same time.

All that money poured into these operations and careers, is there a big picture that I am missing? Are these stations all profitable?

KOPB FM 91.5 gone dark?

Funny how OPB runs these garbled tapes. It's five o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and I guess somehow OPB downloaded their NPR show All Things Considered with Robert Segal in a botched up form. But they run it anyway! It is totally unitelligable... but they run it anyway for 15 minutes.

Uhoh! Now a Christian religious broadcast has burst onto their frequency... "can these bones live again?" It must mean that OPB has stopped broadcasting... off the air!

On my other radio Im picking up a station in Aspen, Colorado, on 91.5.

Summer solstice breakdown?
