The day is finally over for most people.
They go home, take off their threads, eat dinner, go shit, then have a quick romp in the sack, that is if their married or involved with a female. If not, it’s the KY oil, and stroke that shaft. Then its TV, for a few hours, watch the repeat news show, that they missed at 18:00(6:00PM) as most news runs on TV are repeats, nobody or few report anything new at 22:00(10:00PM) .
Before I get into it here, understand, I have hammered on many news and TV organizations here in Idaho for a long time. Not to be mean, but to say, hey I know you can do better. Thing is maybe they can’t. Lets face it media talent in any form in our fair state of Idaho, is few and far between. If they are good, they work here for a year or two then are history. Even prehistoric KMVT here, had one helluva gal on their news staff. Her name was Michelle Darcy. She had a delivery style and professionalism, that has been unmatched by any I have seen in both the local, Idaho or even Utah market. Despite the fact that Michelle was easy on the eyes which didn’t hurt, she had a hunch for stories, went after the truth and reported the facts, no matter whose toes got stepped on. Heck she even interviewed the club’s prezz at the time. KMVT didn’t like it, but at least she reported it.
But alas she became history. From what I understand was because of both a wage increase disagreement and some royalties as well as a blow out with Jack Martin the decrepit news director at KMVT.
Okay then, the rest of the news outfits in Idaho, are trying very hard, but at least one in eastern Idaho, still understands that not everybody walking on the grounds of this state have IPODS, or some viewer app, to add to their Android. KMVT did do FREE streaming of their newscast but greed amongst other things screwed that. KTVB doesn’t stream their newscasts, but KPVI in Pocatello, still has a free stream, so you can at least watch the local news. Even if you aren’t wired to cable or have some device that costs you to watch.
Free OTA TV, by and large has gone the way of cruise nights at the drive in A&W , something to remember but never to be experienced again.
But the fact as long as the FCC still issues licenses, and even with the new move by a few progressive stations reclaiming spectrum after the digital TV debacle, you should still be able to free stream your local news. I’m not talking the shows, Those you can get free on your computer, from the networks, even those strapped due to the ongoing battle between Time Warner Cable and CBS, you still can log onto CBS’ website and watch your favorite shows a day after they run, no biggy. What you can’t get is what’s going on in your home town or at least your state. At least KPVI understands that, and still offers a free stream. Maybe KMVT and KTVB needs to re-examine that idea and put it back up.
For the rest of the public they go home after 5:00PM(17:00), their day is over. For us in media the day is not done until about midnight, when most go home. Unless they are like me. I still am up to my eye balls editing, writing and getting ready to do a show overnight, but what else would you expect from the award winning HazzardAyre?
See ya’ll on the Radio.

Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
