More Forum Flogging
Not to blog a dead horse (I had to say it), but more thoughts on Forum buying the GF Herald:
A letter to the editor published in today's Herald makes a good point- but not, I believe, the one the letter writer intended. Lois Wilde writes to say that the FCC should look at how the morning news is done on WDAZ. She points out that nothing on WDAZ in the morning has anything to do with Grand Forks or Devils Lake. I think her intention is to register her disapproval of the purchase of the Herald, but she unintendingly makes the case against it being an anti-trust issue.
As an early morning watcher of First News on Channel 8, I have always been slightly annoyed by the fact that the news we are given is almost totally Fargo-Moorhead oriented. Starting with the delivery of the news from Fargo studios, to the canned weather reports for us "Up North" by the Weather Elf, to the Fargo-centric news reports that start the day, one is left with the impression that not much happens up here that is worth devoting resources to reporting.
I guess outsourcing your news delivery makes budgetary sense, but it leaves the GF viewer with a feeling that we really aren't much of a "Home Team". Nothing unique here, I suppose, when I think about how WDAZ also supposedly has studios in Devils Lake- how much news reporting is generated out of there?
My point, and yes I am getting to it, is that with so much of the delivery of regional content- news, sports, weather, "outsourced" to Fargo, can we really consider WDAZ a Grand Forks media outlet in any meaningful sense anyway?
I can see it now, poorly lit, grainy video and all: "And now, your Home Team news, with Apu Sivadanggarrarojivitava and Jepo Bogadishnu. Storm Tracker Weather by Yastopol Spodblotnik."
Herald employees- be afraid, be very afraid......

Well said, sir.

It seems to me that WDAZ has less Grand Forks content then even KVLY tv11.
'DAZ appears to be afraid of saying or doing anything critical of Grand Forks' government. This really limits their content.
When they say "The Home Team", they are referring to their alliance, not their coverage area of responsibility. In that sense, The Herald should fit right in.
WDAZ is located IN Grand Forks...the station does share stories with Fargo....but you can't actually tell me that DAZ is giving you less Grand Forks coverage than the other station (they are one station...KVLY and KX...so you'll see the same stories on both). Most of the stories that happen on a given day in Grand Forks are canned for the next day at KVLY. The morning newscast and weather are the only things that really originate from Fargo. Do a newscast analysis some day on how many stories/time KVLY, KX4 and WDAZ spend on the Grand Forks area....
Please go back and read the third paragraph- I was commenting on the morning news in particular.
"The Home Team" should be just that, I think. Otherwise, they could just be "The Valley's Second choice".
But what the hell do I know?- I'm just a consumer of news. You guys are the paid professionals. If you would stop banging your spoons on your highchairs long enough to listen, you would hear someone telling you that the customer is boss, not the other way around. Ignore that at your peril.
