Re: Why WMTW will always be third

[Cooper Fox <fox893@yahoo.com>]

I am fairly new to watching news from the Portland
market, but from what I can see...  WCSH is definately
the tops(probably because I am familiar with 3/4 of
the anchors from watching WLBZ), with WMTW coming in
second and WGME dead last.  I am not really sure what
it is about WGME but i just can't seem to sit through
a newscast.
