Too many sudden changes at Channel 10 makes the old people angry. You need to feel like you know the news people on TV. The needed to rotate in new people slowly. What is this crap they have been pulling? Fletch dies and they revamp the place?
They have quickly gone from my favorite new station to my WTF? Sadly it is the only channel I can get in since I bought the dang digital converter box for my rabbit ears. I haven’t turned on the TV in weeks.

I was hoping that Ms. Allen would have been the new chief meter. I thought she was very professional. Channel 10 is turning into channel 8.

Considering past performance, you have to wonder if there will be any room for news in the “new” Tampa Tribune after all the sports trivia is published. Not anti-sports coverage, but I have come to realize that we need to pay attention to other, more important, things. The election? The economy? Public corruption??
