Newscast Death in Toledo

Sinclair’s WNWO (Toledo) was already an outsourced newscast, being done from their station in South Bend, IN, but it still had some staff in Toledo working to gather the news.

That was until Friday when Sinclair completely pulled the plug on WNWO’s newscast and starting tonight, Sinclair’s The National Desk will replace it.

The small staff that was left in Toledo has been pushed aside, and the viewers lose another news source in their area.

Nobody wins, except Sinclair corporate, which can erase some employees off the balance sheet and give the viewers a crappy national newscast done on the cheap.

One can hope that NBC pulls WNWO’s affiliation and moves it to a station that cares a bit more the Toledo viewers.
