Anybody from WNAK reading this? I've got the Friday afternoon network news memorized by now; same thing, hour after hour. I realized something was wrong when I heard Allen Stone at 1:00 am this morning.

WNAK running same news for 24 hours

Well, the Friday afternoon news is still running as of 1:00am Sunday morning. I've heard the Friday weather go this long, but not the network news. "Live" weekenders are cheap enough.
It appears I've got 143 views. The fact that they don't have anything that will advance the conversation is irrelevant. I often read, but do not respond to, threads to which I can't add anything more than what has already been said.
I'm afraid they've gone downhill since Margie got let go.
btw: Same news at 2:00am this morning, just in case anyone wants to know.

It's really sad. Route 81 radio came on strong and now they are only a shadow of what they could have been. In Hazleton, WAZL started out strong. They had a lot of local presence, and they would actually report on news, not just read it from the paper. Their news had substance and I saw them all the time around town. Now their news consists of a few bits from the top stories from a news guy who also works for their other stations. It seems like in the beginning, Route 81 really wanted their AM's to be locally oriented, and then when they realized it would cost a few dollars, they jettisoned the idea like every other station seems to do.
