As I told my sister the other night, I gave up on WSVN last year, because my heart could no longer take their "News Alerts", especially one alert, that was made to sound so dire, that you almost had to fear what it was about - until they explained that a local DJ had been fired - that's when I made my decision to permanently abandon Channel 7's "shock news" format.

I wouldn't write Chris off just yet.


And I would say Chris is as good as dead...and that WSVN with their shock media are trying to save a dead story.


I remember back in the days when news stations just REPORTED the news, not create or hype up the news… South Floridian’s should never forget the images of WSVN’s Rick Sanchez squatting over the floor maps of Iraq several years ago during the first Gulf crisis. If he was still there would he be squatting over a floor map of the Caribbean pointing out the remnants of Chris with one hand and the estimated location of Castro’s hospital bed with the other….very sad state of local TV, all I can say is thank god for satellite TV and the internet (storm2k).


Have you checked out CNN lately? Rick Sanchez is now one their reporters and he was reporting live from Calle Ocho yesterday morning!

I stopped checking out CNN when they hired the king of hype, Mr. Sanchez :wink:

I can just imagine the provocative and ever so intelligent questions he was asking the populace over in Calle Ocho… :roll:
