News for Wednesday, May 11th, 2016

• One of the news presenters for the local news operation at WALA-TV (Lenise Ligon)  used some of their local news programming for this past Tuesday on the tenth day of this May to say they were "committed to holding public officials accountable" (in accordance with a slogan normally used in their local news programming by then ("committed to you")) while she and another member of the operation (Bob Grip) were presenting a report about their request for an "internal review" from an agency named the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (or ALEA for brevity).

• According to WPMI-TV, a collision of automobiles on an interstate bridge over Mobile Bay (Jubilee Parkway (also known as "the Bayway")) prevented one of the news presenters for their local news program for the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. (Kelly Jones of "Local 15 Today") from appearing on the program between 5:00 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. this past Tuesday due to her getting caught in the traffic caused by the collision.

• According to WPMI-TV, the news presenter referenced in the previous paragraph of this report was still able to be part of the first quarter of their local news program for the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. this past Tuesday: she had used telephony to do so, but mainly for reporting on the. traffic situation that prevented her from appearing on the program (she even said she had never been that "late for work" in her 17 years of broadcasting and said that anyone who felt the need to "use the bathroom" before traveling over "the Bayway" at the time she spoke better do so before traveling over it (she had described the "bathroom" suggestion as "keeping it real" immediately after mentioning it on the program during her broadcast about the traffic situation through the use of telephony).
