WFAA CH 8 NEWS blows it once more

I had pretty much quit watching them on the weekend except for last week coverage of the truck jacking. This weekend the same problems of a year ago remain. Brad Hawkins pitches to Lozano about a shooting in Frisco at the start of the 5:30p The story is not racked,raw footage with no sound is on. Brad comes back on,his pace off tracked ,goes to the streat of Cowboy training camp? That's a lead story, with the drowing of a popular radio personality story still developing? The heat wave killing more people,a home invasion shooting and a cowboy story (fluff) was the second top story?? HOLY!! Then tonight at 10 p theei recorded intro screws up, Brad Stammers and stumbles again, wrong video shown of brush fires in north texas. When are they aever,ever going to get a clue? It's been a year already C'mon 8!
 
Thats what happends when you have bad managment who doesnt want to spend a dime on bringing in quality staff
 
Please, at least WFAA's news team has experience! Whenever I watch NBC 5 I feel like I'm watching a college newscast. Their reporters have no credibility and most are new to reporting (or have worked in a 100+ market) and/or the market. At WFAA, many of their reporters have been there for 15 or more years. Why do you think the hijacker asked to speak to a WFAA reporter and not KXAS, which is supposedly #1?

Perhaps he likes Ch.8. That has nothing to do with professionalism. True Channel 8 was the news standard,and Ch.5 is a Nationlal Enquirer Tabloid on par with Ch.4.
Ch.8 hashad too many glitches,technical and human wise. You would think someone would have fixed it by now.It's been a year.
