opinion of Omaha's broadcast channels going Digital and HD
a few days ago (those who get only broadcast channels will know this)
WOWT went from analog to digital
and the PBS station on 26 went from analog to digital
therefore
what is your take on Omaha's broadcast tv stations and the digital conversion thing that happened last week and will be official in June 2009.
also 2 questions:
1. anyone else think it is time that the news in Omaha be in HD
2. when is KMTV channel 3 going to finally get a sub-channel
I mean WOWT has a olympic sub-channel
KETV has a 24 hour weather channel
PBS 26 has 2 sub-channels
Fox 42 has My Network tv
CW 15 has some spanish channel
KMTV 3 has no sub-channel

Those Newscasters are the biggest bunch of Yokels this side of the Mississppi.

I've been employed at all levels of the media (including theirs) and lived all over the U.S.
Pure amatuers announcers...embarrassing to watch, but still good for a laugh.

you want bad news shows?
kxvo aka CW 15 a few years ago had the worst news show of all time
with some failed singer named geiler's brother who thinke he is a comedian
it was cringe worthy. thankfully the show died in 2007 from poor ratings. |

I laugh my butt off all the time watching out local news. I especially love Rob M from KETV's jokes. You can just tell he's sitting there thinking, "wtf are they making me say". HAHA, it looks painfull with the akward smiles and mildly retarded quips....
Yes, definitely a good laugh.  |

Bill Randby at KETV has told some bad jokes too
remember last year when he jokingly told High school kids to play hooky cause of the good weather |

dont channel 17 on cox have a cheesy high school show called WTV
and of course the OPS wannabee of that show called the O-Zone
as for Travis Justice
he is the KMTV version of
Stu Pospisil aka Stewie of the Omaha World Herald
(Stewie BTW is NOT a creighton prep grad, but a Omaha Benson High grad. He wishes he graduated from Creighton Prep)
and Tom Shatel of the Omaha World Herald
( i.e. a sports junkie who is at times full of himself when it comes to reporting on sports) |
