Where do you get your news. I’m not tawking about the latest gossip , but the real news ? This entry into HazzardAyre is aimed at our Tragic Valley area, and not just focused on TV, although that’s where I’m going to start here this morning.
Here in the Tragic Valley, our local main TV station started doing a morning edition that while just getting the bugs out of the show, is improperly staffed and hosted. After all , who sets up a show hosted by Husband and Wife? But KMVT-11 out of Twin Falls did just that. The two hosts are not long term, experienced broadcasters in any respect. The entire production reminds me of the early morning show I saw on Park City TV out of Park City Utah, although , the one on Park City TV is done much better.
So why do I watch? Because I wake up, turn on KSL-5 out of Salt Lake City, but to get even a quick look at the local weather, I turn on Rise & Shine on KMVT to see weather. But then switch back to KSL-5. Now obviously comparing KMVT to KSL or vice versa is like comparing apples to pears. KMVT will never gain the status of KSL. the local ad revenue streams don’t allow that, but could KMVT at least try? Okay then. As far as KTVB ? Not unless I’m flying or toewing to Boise, then maybe. But its one of those things that will set Confederate Star TV apart from all currently based and ran TV stations in the Tragic Valley. Confederate Star’s aim is to bring Salt Lake City quality TV including news casts to Idaho.
As far as print news, I often read the Deseret News, rather than the local publications. The Times News, just does not have the polish that the Deseret News, nor does the Buhl Herald . The option? The Hazzard County Gazzette, that includes between its pages, HazzardAyre, News.
I thought when , Chris Pruett took over as GM at KMVT, that he would overhaul the current operations, including news and newscasters , but all that happened was a substitution of who sat in the command chair. I once attempted to throw a piece of a peace offering to Chris, and met with him at KMVT, but after waiting for weeks on a return call for us at the Knytes of Anarchy to spend some money there, got the cold shoulder, we said and set our ad dollars towards RTV Tv network. But I wonder why KMVT’s news and general quality does not even try to get better? Even at the Twin Falls County Fair this past fall last year, had a lot of tech goofs. Watch next spring when Confederate Star TV , goes active in March of 2012.
Now here is an eye opener for you and it relates to KSL-5. In our area, if your a broadcast operation , it does not matter if it be TV or Radio, or print, if your not LDS or LDS friendly, your not going to get aired. Or at least , not without spending tons of money. In essence spend enough money to offset any backlash from LDS owned business’s. Saying that , when the Knytes put ads on KSL-5 , a few years ago, not only did we get a bunch more leeway as far as content , including both copy as well as adding the spicy model talent for those ads. One would think, now wait a minute, KSL and the Deseret News is owned by the LDS Church. Should they not be as or more conservative than Idaho’s TV and/or print ? The answer is no. In fact in its hey day, when KEMK, Eagle Mountain Kountry, based out of then Tooele Utah went on the air and Long Haul Radio was on the air, 80% of the long haul drivers for Deseret Transportation , the church’s trucking company, tuned in and enjoyed our off the wall, and spicy radio.
So why the problems in southern Idaho? Don’t ya’ll think, that the Tragic Valley would like a more robust and exotic even erotic media company? Well ya’ll you wont have to wait long.
That in our next entry.
Gotta go, going toewing today. So see ya’ll in the morning.
L8R Confederates,
