Most nights when Jay Hendricks announces "you are looking at an exclusive Newswest 9 sky-cam shot of downtown Midland", I want to say, "what's exclusive about a shaky camera pointed at downtown?" I remember when "exclusive" was reserved for scandals and hard news. By Jay's definition, everything they do is exclusive. And can anyone tell me what is learned (or branded for that matter) when Tommy Teeferteller says, "Stormtracker Nine Live Doppler 9000?" Like Earl at home is going to tell Martha, “Hey switch over to channel 9, they’ve got that 9,000 model you know.” One more bit from TV - watch Big 2 on weekends when Mel Hudman anchors and I swear to God more often than not he opens the show with, "Good evening everyone I'd Mel Hudman." When he's in a hurry it sounds like "one-eyed Mel Hudman" and you expect to see a pirate's patch on the guy.
