Sloane Isn’t “Live”

wral_logo.jpgIs there anyone out there so desperate for interesting news that they watch both the 10:00 and 11:00 news? I’m so pitiful that I’ll even watch practically the same channel!

WRAZ frequently has “live” field reporting, especially from Sloane Heffernan, during their 10:00 news. However WRAL also has live spots from the reporter. Both reports are graphically labeled “Live”, however close inspection reveals that the clip is the exact same report. Ever notice her signature, “back to you”? That keeps the clip generic and usable at later showings.

NO FAIR!! If they want to use the same exact field reporting clip, that’s fine. However it is dishonest for the latter showing to be labeled “live”. It makes me wonder if the 10 o’clock showing is even “live” at all.
