If anyone has ever watched WLBZ at 5 and 6 and WLBZ (well, WCSH) at 11pm, you know there is a difference between the places. One newscast has cheap lighting or cameras or something and it even looks like the set is different. And they are trying to make it seem like it's the same studio, when it's not. WLBZ's Graphics seem cheap and not the same, way too zoomed in on the anchor! (ahhh!) and some of the features that WCSH does in their 5pm&6pm newscast are ingenious, like at the very end, letting the viewers know what's coming up at 5:30 and 6, while WLBZ would rather put on a story about a national story about a seal or something. The new anchors are alright, it's just the quality of news is not there. It's time to get some fresh ideas in there for their newscasts, this is what's keeping them to be #1, even if the WCSH newscasts are not local to Bangor, they are BETTER than WABI?! (in my opinion, this is why WCSH has been #1 for 22 years...)

I see a difference, and it's not just anchors.
