Enough, INC...enough already!
Again, Indiana's NewsCenter abrogates its broadcast responsibilities and screws up Sunday's [3/15/09] ABC network news, by over-running WPTA's local newscast, cutting into the network's news program, causing viewers to miss the important headliner item about AIG and that company's errant bonuses using taxpayer monies:
This kind of thing happens all the time, and in this instance, 21Alive had to show a story about mullets at a fire station, then insert contractual advertising; but note the promo for INC's VIPIR radar...unnecessary, and forcing more lost minutes for ABC News.
Then later in the evening, INC inserted, by mistake, ads for U.S. Cellular, et cetera, at a crucial scene during ABC's "Brothers and Sisters."
This screw-up took place at 10:38 p.m., causing viewers to miss a pertinent storyline segment.
The same ads re-ran at 10:45.
INC continues to be remiss and lax when it comes to broadcasting, and we have come to the point where we are starting to hate INC as much as most viewers in town.
