WAPO headline: “Jimmy Carter, 39th president and Nobel Peace Prize winner, dies at 100, his son says”
Sounds like a reliable source to me.
Which President’s SON said that??? OK, Carter’s. He would be a credible source.
KSFO is moving to 810.
I guess the writing was on the wall for KGO after they switched away from Talk years ago. Not sure that News/Talk will survive on AM alone, even at 810 AM.
Yes, we reported that on November 19th. https://www.qzvx.com/2024/11/19/san-francisco-cumulus-determined-to-bury-kgo-once-and-for-all/
The requirement of all registered members here is that they read the site DAILY. We’ll give you a concession due to the holidays.
Check out SAN, Straight Arrow News.
This is what local TV News should look like, at least initially, based on current technology.
A full-service news platform. Also, capsule summaries delivered to readers on X and other major social media platforms, drawing viewers to the station website. Serious news items, not The Question of the Day, or Hollywood gossip.
TV stations should be adopting these features now. Stories should be delivered in audio, text and video. Currently, tv and radio station websites are only an afterthought.
There is no future for local tv unless they adapt to an online delivery method. The current OTA model is not sustainable in the new environment.
Local tv will be available through subscriptions — without the cable tv middleman. This has to happen and local tv stations have to adopt the new technology and delivery methods, for news AND programming.
