Sorry! I didn't realize I was insufficiently clear.The Voice of Reason said:you never answered my question.
They should have a news organ all of their own. I did not say that they should completely sever ties with WHEC. That's a thought. But it isn't required. What I view as a problem with WYSL's current setup, is that they are apparently, wholly dependant on WHEC's news production. I browse through WYSL's staff page:http://www.wysl1040.com/?pg=personalities I see no signs of any reporters, unless you count Luckey; I have reasons for not counting Luckey. The mechanism of rebroadcasting a newscast produced elsewhere causes all the flaws inherent in that newscast to be rebroadcast. For example: If Ms Blank on WHEC does a puff piece about children flushing their hot-wheels down the toilet (WHAM-AM Actually did do such a story), then when WYSL is broadcasting it, it appears one more time, to trouble the public.
More probably WYSL should gradually add reporters to it's staff.
You make a good point about WYSL having its own news department. But again I believe that because of budgetary considerations it is more convenient for WYSL to just run Channel 10 news.
