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.

The INC mistakes and arrogance raise my blood pressure to dangerous levels.
But no one in management seems able to curb the blunders or missteps.
The inmates seem to be in control of the asylum.

I couldn't agree more. I've resorted to watching ABC and NBC programming via c-band satellite directly from the source, bypassing INC. Only problem there is, there's no way for me to record that feed.
I wish I knew of a way to complain to the FCC about the low standards at INC and maybe something will eventually be done about it. But then again, maybe not.
