I was leaving the station this evening and saw this guy on this really tall bike.  I told him to pull over and submit to an interview, you know, like a citizen’s arrest.  He did. 

TVNewsday AM reports that some newscasts around the country are using product placement as an added source of revenue.  Here’s how it’s being used at one station. 

Oh sure, you’ve seen the occasional Coke can in a movie shot or two.  But how do you feel about products placed on your local newscasts?  

I don’t have a problem with this, as long as the anchors and reporters near the products can hold on tight to their journalistic integrity. 

And–as long as the products aren’t FAKE and IGNORED!  C’mon! 

The anchors at the station above make no reference to the fake products.  I would find that EXTREMELY difficult!  C’mon!  If there’s a new product in front of you at your house, you’re going to at least acknowledge it.  You’re going to eat, drink, play with or explain it…something!   If not, it just seems so contrived!  If you’re going to put something weird on the set, don’t pretend like it’s not there!  How stupid do you think viewers are? 

Beginning at 6:00 tonight, KTBS 3 is back on Dish.   We’ve settled the programming dispute that resulted in our removal from Dish.   For more information, go to www.ktbs.com or watch the news tonight.   

You may or may not know that I have an obsession with quotes.  I love them.  I want to marry them. 

I ran across this cool site with nothing but quotes.  It’s call Blogtations.  They’ve taken a liking to some of our quotes on this site.   While they may not want to marry us, one of our quotes is featured today!  And you know what that means…it’s eligible to win a Blogtations Award!  If you share in my quote geekiness, then you know how excited this makes me. 

Anyway, I would never ask you to vote for any one quote in particular (pay no attention to the banner above this sentence).  So, just head over there and enjoy.  And if you’re new to this site and would just as soon quote someone as look at them, check out our Newsroom Quotes and Friend Quotes.
