Let's Put the Viewers in Danger
/Speaking of WTSP in Tampa....
The station is trying to get some eyeballs during the November book and since their newscast is not going to do, they are resorting to bribery.
The station is asking viewers to shoot video as to how bad their commute to work is. Then they can submit the video to WTSP. They will pick one winner and give them a limo ride to work.
Now, I don't know if you ever tried to shoot video while you're driving? I have and I can tell you, it's not very easy and it is definitely dangerous.
I'm not sure a TV station should be instructing viewers to be shooting video while their driving. But hey, it might lead to some breaking news as well....so win. win right?
Here's the station's promo featuring Traffic Reporter Hilary Zalla.
