Local TV station in Syracuse (CBS affiliate) drops newscasts


Recommended Posts

This is very sad.....I was an news intern at WTVH back in 1989 and thier news department was a powerhouse of talent on and off the camera. Back then it was owned by Meredith Corporation which was a company that understood that you have to spend money to make money. They were #1 until the station was sold to Granite Corp in 1994 and the blood bath began. Popular talent let go, did everything on the cheap, thus WTVH tumbled to #3 in the ratings basement for a while thanks to Granite and their poor ownership. The building that housed WTVH is a beautiful old building with lots of tradition and memories back when TV meant something. Now that it has been gutted and shut down makes me very sad and I blame Granite Corp for their poor ownership and being cheap as well a being a victim of "drive by" managers who pop in....lay someone off...then transfer out in 3 months. Goodbye WTVH news...I will miss you much
