Another victim of $$$$$$$$$. Channel 5 did not renew its chopper lease, fired the traffic reporter and hired some ex-rocker musician to deliver the traffic. As with most things they've done at WLWT lately, this move takes on the smelly aroma of amateur television. With all the tools of the Artimis cameras, the traffic guy stands in front of a cartoon map (and a poor one, at that) of Cincinnati with flashing little cars for traffic jams and wrecks. WHY DON'T THEY JUST SHOW THE REAL THING? The Artimis cams are everywhere.
And by the way, if anyone ever runs into the traffic guy, tell him to stand still on camera. His constant swaying back and forth is making me sea-sick. And don't even get me started on the PHONEY power of five weather, and the weather guy who sounds like a little girl. His high-pitched voice is damaging my woofers.
