Rest of J! summer rerun schedule
« Reply #15 on: August 31, 2005, 03:42:03 PM »
ARRRGH! I hate WJLA! They did it again! Only they can figure out a way to mess up a two-year-old J! repeat. But they did. They pre-empt FJ! of last night's $75K repeat to give a weather update on the remnants of Katrina passing through south-central Virginia.

The 3 minutes between DJ and FJ should have been enough but no ..... they take the full 7 minutes up until the top of the hour.

Then again, this is the station that pre-empts prime-time ABC programming to show fund-raising infomercials for St. Jude's Hospital in MEMPHIS. (No slight on St. Jude's ... more a reflection of how highly WJLA considers the network schedule)

Cry me a damn river.  This hurricane (and its ensuing coverage), which will more than likely turn out to be the worst storm that hit the USA is much more important then a game show repeat.

Give me a damn break already.  If seeing Ken again is so important to you, buy the damn DVD.  Then you don't have to worry about WJLA interrupting your life with hurricane coverage.

Oh, how timely this post was !

At first I thought it was a joke, because at this point, I figured anyone daft enough to say something like that MUST be joking. Guess not.

I think I'm being advised to be sorry for even bringing it up. Sorry, can't do it.

Yes, the storm did billions of damage and the casualties are probably going into the thousands. But the DC station wasn't the one to be doing this. The people being affected were in the Richmond and/or Roanoke markets. Leave the local coverage to the local stations which, in this case, WJLA was not.

I had seen the episode before, so I wasn't upset at missing the ending.

And if people in DC metro had family in those areas, they'd probably want to know what was happening.  When weather like that is close enough to your area, that's newsworthy enough for breaking in.  And all it takes is one wrong turn for the storm to hit your area.  So I think WJLA was perfectly justified in breaking in and staying with the coverage.  And if Connecti-Matt wants to verify or refute my post, I humbly defer to him.

Riiiight. You weren't upset at all.  Hence that post.

Now I am sorry I brought it up.

I let my legitimate hatred for WJLA (for reasons other than news) cloud what was a clear newsworthy reason to break in. It also doesn't help that their weathercaster has the well-earned nickname of "Dr. Doom" in these parts.

Just wait until it starts snowing ;)

People in this Jersey Shore town I live in complain over an inch or less of snow falling. I sincerely hope they stop complaining about something so minor in the wake of both the tsunami in Asia last year(snow flurries occurred in this town the day that it, and they were complaining about it at the local supermarket) and now this hurricane.

Thank you. Everything that has been said refuting this case is correct.

And you should be damn lucky to have Doug Hill in your market. In fact, all 4 of the chiefs in DC are top notch. Bob Ryan, Topper, and Sue keep each other on their toes. The fact that I personally learned my craft 11 years ago from Topper and Sue make me real appreciative.

So just quit while you're behind.

Good point. That was, by far, the worst post I've made here.

I can't help but wonder whether station suits push for the more "extreme" forecasts in order to boost news ratings. (Even before Doug, WJLA has been that way -- predict 12-14 inches when everyone else says 6-8 and the like).

BTW, I interned at Ch. 9 and got to see Gordon Barnes in action.

I loved him on Morning with Charles Kuralt. Oh, to dine with him, Blake Emmons and Pat O'Brien sometime.
