Perhaps a sign of the times or the difference between Katu and other television newsrooms that still get it right: quality control. I can't imagine a script with that verbiage getting on the air at most medium/major market television stations - unless there's absolutely no quality control. No EP, no Assistant News Director/Managing Editor, News Director? Not one producer with a head on his/her shoulders who could take a moment and read it for style, sense and clarity?
Katu staff and their apologists - go ahead and attack those who notice, care and call you on the carpet for it. If this blog wasn't around it would be one more mistake swept under the rug and forgotten over some 'micro brews' at the dive down the street. Katu used to be one of the better stations in town - now it's bottom-dollar bottom-feeder like Koin - barely getting it on the air - and obviously not even doing that well. Katu and the Spirit of the Northwest? Not my Northwest.
