• One of the news presenters on the local morning news program for WPMI-TV (Kelly Jones of "Local 15 Today") had encouraged the other news presenter (Darwin Singleton) to refer to a person she had wished a happy birthday during a part of the program for acknowledging birthdays of residents in their local broadcast area to call the person by the nickname "Biscuit" this Wednesday (he did so afterwards as part of his birthday wish to the person (this caused the news presenter named Kelly Jones to act very excited)).  

• One of the local news programs for WALA-TV this past Tuesday on the twelfth day of this July ("FOX 10 News at 5:00 p.m.") had one of the weather reporters for their local news operation (Jason Smith) presenting video of a person he said was his "dad" trying to capture tarpons with him (another one of the weather reporters for the operation (Matt Barrentine) had identified the person by name ("Tim Smith") while presenting the video on another local news program of theirs ("FOX 10 News at 10:00 p.m.") later that day (he also said the video was for a series of reports for their local news operation named "FOX 10 Outdoors")).
