The End in Medford

Sinclair’s KTVL in Medford is done with local news.

The last newscast aired on Friday night, as the company has decided to shutter the news department.

The newscast ended with two segments. After the weather, the anchors said goodbye live on the air. The staff handled it well.

The second part was a pre-recorded message from them telling the viewers about 'The National Desk'. All of them looked like they were in a hostage video.

We checked out KTVL.com on Sunday night, and the website has not been updated since Friday. One story was from Sinclair’s National Desk about how trash pick-up in Baltimore have been a struggle.

Why someone 3000 miles away in Medford gives a crap about trash pickups in Baltimore is perplexing.

Then again, it shows you just how little Sinclair cares about the viewers in Medford.
