We're wondering why they're having so many problems at 4. This, from today's Herald, may provide one explanation:
"Things have been getting downright ugly over at Channel 4. Ratings are not great, the GM and sales czar were sent packing, the 4 p.m. news is being canceled due to lack of viewers and now we hear that the camera jockeys are at war with their 30-something assignment editor!
Word from Soldiers Field Road is that the cameramen were less than pleased to get a ranting missive from Deanna Miller about their failure to make weather pictures. Naturally, as these things sometimes do, the memo found its way to the Track’s inbox.
“It is imperative that you all shoot weather when it happens,” she wrote. Leading us to wonder: When does weather not happen??? But we digress . . . .
“You all balk at it and that’s fine and quite frankly I don’t care,” Deanna’s diatribe continued. “It drives us all crazy.”
Then things got really ugly as Miller converted to capitals!
“ANY TIME IT RAINS, SNOWS, SLEETS, IS HOT, COLD, SUNNY, CLOUDY, WINDY . . . SHOOT IT,” she wrote. “EACH OF YOU SHOULD COME BACK TO THE STATION EVERY DAY WITH A WEATHER PICTURE. I SHOULDN’T EVER HAVE TO ASK FOR WEATHER PICTURES AGAIN. I WILL EXPECT WEATHER SHOTS EVERY DAY UNLESS YOU CALL AND
EXPLAIN TO ME WHY YOU CAN’T SEEM TO FIT ONE INTO YOUR
SCHEDULE. AND JUST BECAUSE YOU EXPLAIN IT, DOESN’T MEAN I
WILL ACCEPT YOUR EXPLANATION.” "
O.K. Got it? Weather shots important!
Channel 4 spokesgal Ro Dooley said that Miller was merely doing her job by encouraging the troops to provide footage of the great outdoors.
“It is a standard assignment at every TV station to shoot weather video,” she said. “This was a reminder of just how important this is.”
