Fox 25 - News now much improved

[Attorney Chase]

There were some things that were prized in the concept of operating in the 
public interest other than "ratings." In a case of bad money chasing out the 
good we ended up with happy talk, what passes for talk radio (nothing is as 
good as Jerry Williams), race baiting, xenophobia, and I could list a number 
of other  things I consider to be wrong about the current crop of TV and 
radio offerings. Playing to the lowest common denominator was not what 
Edward R Murrow was all about.

  The viewers (at least those who are part of the ratings survey) appear to 
disagree.


  They are very, very good about chasing breaking news and cutting in. They 
were on live in the wee hours this morning during the tornado warning, an 
hour or so before the morning newscast started. During at least one of the 
big snow storms a couple years ago, they were live for the entire overnight.
