On-air proposals and other hazards of TV news

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Actually, the on-air marriage proposal is all we’ll be covering today.

A colleague just sent me a link to this video from KARK-TV, featuring a reporter he went to college with.

And, at 2:13, it’s quite possibly the longest local-news segment ever.

Breaking news! Alleged takeout trauma!

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Leading “Fox 4 News at 5:30,” the story of a woman who called 911 because a restaurant messed up her order.

Really? Fox 4 and the woman should both be ashamed.

(Also: This piece should win some sort of award for Most Contrived B-roll Ever.)

Who ya gonna call? Newsbusters!

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

They just don’t make TV-news image campaigns like this one for KMOV anymore.

This video from the ’80s has been making the rounds online lately, but we saw it first on one of our new favorite local blogs, Punching Kitty.
