Local Television Stations Screwing Up A Lot Lately

While WBOC is having multiple problems this morning, other stations have been having a ton of problems as well. 

WMDT has had a major problem for the past YEAR with their ME TV channel.

WRDE can't seem to get their stuff together either and I have no clue why their advertisers are paying them anything at all. Their commercials have no volume whatsoever at night.

Budget Cuts?

They all suck at what they try to do anyway. Don't think any of them would be missed.

I don't get WRDE in salisbury OTA, but commercials with lowered sound at night sounds like a good thing, all the shouting car sales commercials would possibly wake others up.

WBOC's spelling is atrocious.

And WMDT is more like kindergarten class. 2 women wearing 4th of july tiara's want us to take them seriously? Girls, my suggestion is to watch other successful broadcaster and emulate them if you expect have a serious career.

Most of them simply cannot read well in front of a camera.
I don't get it. Not saying I could do it well either, but they do it for a living.
The guy at night on WBOC is just terrible.

What's going on with Comcast? I'm getting messages on my screen that my cable box is not authorized. it's getting more and more frequent.
I have to turn the box off, and when I turn it on, everything is fine.

If they got rid of the two idiot shouting car salesman giving away $5,000, half of their commercials would be gone.

Such a pity. Luckily I never watch WBOC so I had no idea they were having issues. Watching local news is like embarking on a half hour of wasted space and mindless chatter, so I skip it altogether.

Thanks for letting us know Joe, since hardly anyone in Salisbury is watching anymore.

Well you're lucky. I have to turn things off, say a prayer to the cable gods, usually then I have to physically UNPLUG everything also to get it to re-set! The screen will just FREEZE until you do this ritual correctly.

You know what's really funny here Folks, the FACT that nobody has come back here saying they too saw this or experienced any problems.

Funny part is, NO ONE IS WATCHING THEM ANY MORE! The proof is in the comments.

As for the commercials, pay attention. There's a variety of only 3 or 4 different commercials. Window World is played to death. K-12 is another one played to death. The car commercials are really bad. The only other one I can recall is that national back surgery commercial.

Now do tell me WBOC, how can the people you run all over your programs that have experienced a SEVENTY PERCENT INCREASE in business, yet no one has ever seen or ever sees their commercials?????

Yet some Eastern Shore people actually believe your BS, just like Captain Willie claiming he has gutter guards on his home, yet when you look at the house THERE'S NO GUTTERS!!!!
