Pre-Recording the News in Lexington

Yesterday, FTVLive told you that Scripps-owned WKBW (Buffalo) had started pre-recording the 11 PM newscasts.

As a kid, I grew up watching WKBW and the newscast always started with “It’s 11 O’clock, do you know where your children are?

Now, the station should ask, “It’s 11:00. Do you know where your live newscast is?”

A WLEX (Lexington) tells FTVLive that the station had recently also started recording the late newscasts.

It pains me to see a company so cheap that they feel the need to pre-record news.

Why not just record Friday’s newscasts on Thursday and have no one work on Friday? That should save a boatload of money.

That is supposed to be a joke, but this Scripps, I’m not sure that this won’t happen.

Just saying…
