Do you guys run a story every time your anchor visits a school? I'm tired of these. Yesterday I refused to run a vo-sound-on-tape where the anchor spoke at a graduation. I know we shot it and all but I didn't really want it in my show. I left it for the morning show. The school didn't even have that many potential viewers. It was a remedial school for kids who almost didn't graduate.

Ah, so it's your alma mater, then.

Leaving it for the morning show seems like a great place. They get the fresh content and you can keep the real news in the nightly news.

You have anchors visit schools??? Strange.
We have the sales people visit... that way, maybe they can makes some sales while they're there. Public schools are an untapped market.

The Anchors going into schools is a good thing(unless the Anchors are boooorrriinggg)....and I'm sure someone will take a shot at the comment...but kids need role models(policeman, newsman, etc)to play an active role in their growth. I do a Mystery Reader class twice a week when school is in(all over the viewing area). Vosot on every visit? Nah. Matter of fact, there are times I don't tell my ND about a visit because I don't want her sending a photog to cover it.

I'd wager that Egbert and TVNewsSpy are the same person. The have the same tone in their writing.
And for what it's worth, Egbert's silly threads have been mildly interesting. This one was just really, really, really weak in that it's so blatantly obviously undeniably fake that it takes whatever modicum of fun there was in playing along right out of it.

Hell, we run a promo every time I visit the restroom! (or is it, "I use the restroom every time I see the same old promo?")

I suppose an anchor was an appropriate choice for that school.

When I was in grade school, a local meteorologist came to talk about the weather. He told us to watch their 5p or 6p show tonight and he'd explain one of the concepts he was teaching us in his forecast.
During the Q&A, I asked him if it was a gimmick to get us to get Mom and Dad to turn to his channel. He laughed and said no.
He's still chief meteorologist at that same station all these years later.
Moral of the story: *****, I'm gettin' old. :frustrated:

CASE CLOSED.Don't be silly. Dyckerson will start threads under one sn, then converse with himself with another sn.
It's sad and pathetic, but mildly amusing.

I believe Dickerson and Produce are the same person and they only battle to convince you people otherwise.

Damnit, I KNOW I've heard that before! Is that lyrics from a Beatle's song? If so, which one?

Hmm, I don't know why, it just struck me as something out of a Beatles song.
I'll have to google "Rio" lyrics.

I am the Walrus
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.
Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman (woo), they are the eggmen (woo), I am the walrus,
Coo coo, kachoo.
Mister City P'liceman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run.
I'm crying.
I'm cry, I'm crying, I'm cry, I'm crying.
Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl and you let your knickers down.
I am the eggman (woo), they are the eggmen (woo), I am the walrus,
Coo coo, kachoo.
Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan from
Standing in the English rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
Coo coo kachoo ka coo coo kachoo.
Expert texpert choking smokers,
Don't you think the joker laughs at you? (ho ho ho, he he he, ha ha ha)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snide.
I'm crying.
Semolina Pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
Coo coo kachoo ka coo coo kachoo

He knew that; he was just trying to tweak me into posting the title of the song so he could tease me.
I was born at night; but not last night.
Good try, produce
