WYOU ANNIVERSARY



Today marks the second anniversary that Nexstar Broadcasting shut down one of their news operations. On this date WYOU TV Interactive News ceased operations. The owners said the station wasn't making enough money and they laid off all of their employees. A few burned out their contracts on WBRE and a few were absorbed by 28.The talent that passed through the doors at WYOU is legendary. Derrby Bird, Tom Powell, Debbie Dunleavy, David DeCosmo, Kevin Kordan, John Perry, Tom Reilly, Bill White, the list is long and storied. But that's a distant memory. Memories never answer the management question, "How much money have you made for me lately?" The fact that a CBS affiliate, a heritage one at that completely getting rid of its news division was a wake up call to this news oriented area. Nothing lasts forever and nothing is sacred in terms of the broadcast game. WYOU, formerly WDAU was once known as the heritage news station. A place where viewers came to find out the latest news. Now WYOU is simply known as the "Judge Judy" Station.

I was a faithful viewer of wyou since the days of Mr Tom Powell. It was a sin to allow the station to stop broadcasing local news. But I have to wonder where our local and county officials,taxpayers groups,mayors,and the fcc were when this decision was announced.Being from Scranton wyou and wdau before it always gave extra attention to stories in my area. Someone in our are should try to get the license and make it local again.

I DO ENJOY EVERY DAY. BUT THE PAST FOR ME IS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE. THE PAST SHAPES WHO WE ARE.

RIGHT, WE WERE GIVEN A BIG SECOND CHANCE AND WHILE I CAN'T SPEAK FOR HER, I'M SURE NANCY FEELS THE SAME WAY ABOUT HER SURVIVAL. GRATEFUL. HER PASSION ON HEALTH CARE COMES ABOUT BECAUSE OTHER UNFORTUNATES DIDN'T GET THE LEVEL OF CARE SHE HAD. LIKE IT OR NOT THOUGH, THERE IS BULLSHIT AND ANGER IN THE PAST. YOU LEARN FROM IT AND MAKE EVERY DAY BETTER. BUT YOU NEVER FORGET THE PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T STAND WITH YOU. THE ENVY PART, I'M NOT ENVIOUS OF ANYONE. I'M HAPPY WITH MY EXISTENCE AND GRATEFUL FOR IT EVERY DAY. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'M GOING TO GIVE ANY PAST DEMONS A PASS. THEY ARE PART OF MY FUTURE, KIND OF A GUIDE ON WHO NOT TO TRUST. AS SINATRA SAID, "THAT'S LIFE", AS REAGAN SAID, "TRUST BUT VERIFY". AS A FAMOUS VIDEOGRAPHER FROM WBRE ONCE SAID, "LIVE THE DREAM". I AM. BUT THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN.
