I'm not going to 'mix it up.' I've reviewed some of the other stations before but they don't have the same internal problems as KOIN. My reviews of KOIN have been for the purpose of pointing out 'cause and effect' of what happens when a television news operation is systemically dismantled in the name of higher profits. What happens is the shows get on the air - but they're not very good. And ultimately viewership declines, sales decline, profits decline and the place is either sold or the news operation farmed out. My advice to SJL: Return resources to KOIN, hire experienced personnel, create a plan and watch the ratings and revenue grow. Simple enough?
