- One of the news reports on the local news program that appeared on the main broadcast channel for WKRG-TV during the second half of the hour of 6:00 p.m. this past Thursday on the twenty-seventh day of this July ("WKRG News 5 at 6") and the way it was introduced on the program were good examples of some of the problems with news broadcasting in recent times (too much commenting in news reporting and news presenting).
- I did not like hearing one of the news presenters for the local news program that appeared on the main broadcast channel for WKRG-TV during the first half of the hour of 6:00 p.m. this past Wednesday (Rose Ann Haven of "WKRG News 5 at 6") tell its other news presenter (Mel Showers) that she had liked the way he said the name of one of the programs set to appear on the channel between the beginning of the hour of 7:00 p.m. and the beginning of the second half of the hour of 10:00 p.m. that Wednesday ("Big Brother"*) near the end of the news program (the other programs set to appear on the channel during that time period were also promoted by that news presenter).
- I thought this report for the local news programs that appeared on the main broadcast channel for WALA-TV during the hour of 5:00 p.m. and the first half of the hour of 10:00 p.m. this past Tuesday on the twenty-fifth day of this July ("FOX 10 News at 5:00 p.m." and "FOX 10 News at 10:00 p.m.") about a member of their local news operation (Bob Grip) using an Internet messaging service named Twitter to do what he had called an "Alabama Roll Call"** was a way of providing both amusement and information for their audiences in addition to evoking a slogan some folks in their audiences might find familiar ("Roll Tide": the slogan for the football program at the University of Alabama in the city of Tuscaloosa in the central part of Alabama).
(*it was a network program from their main provider of network programming (the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS))
