....welcome to Portland and the openly dysfunctional KOIN 6. This was once a proud and successful television station [as was WEWS]. But years of budget-cutting, economizing, reinvention, failure to fire bad hires and just about every other mistake a string of news directors supported by corporate dolts could make finally caught up with the station and now KOIN 6 is not only the laughing stock of Portland but the industry as a whole.

[On paper KATU has many of the same problems; except they've actually got a plan, and resources, to fix them.]

It's incredulous, to me, how a station in this size market could be so badly run; worse still, key people who have run morale into the ground still work there. It's time to clear the decks, clean out the cobwebs and start from scratch.
