KOIN has proven that you can compete with a skeleton crew. Their reporters and photographers do three remotes every night during the 5 to 6:30 block.Plus, they're feeding the web.
KPTV can do this,by adding just a couple of people, mainly producers, and maybe a reporter or two.
It's a lot cheaper than other programming, and they can sell the hell out of it, especially in an election cycle. It will mean much more work for the employees in Beaverton. I wonder if the paychecks will reflect it. We already know the answer to that.
