This is an Ad....Right

WPVI (Philly) Reporter/Anchor Jessica Boyington got married and for some reason the ABC O&O took time out of the viewers’ day to report this event.

I’m not sure why this is news, people get married every day.

But, besides the waste of time, this is the thing I have an issue with.

WPVI reported the company that supplied Boyington’s wedding dress. Here’s screenshot from WPVI’s website.

Go back another 7 months, and Boyington did an entire story about trying on her gown at the same place.

I’m going to guess that after these two “commercials” in the newscasts were made, Boyington got her bridal gown for free, or at least at a discount.

Did WPVI report that?

Not that I saw.

It’s so sad to see this once great station just sell out with crap like this.
