Re: KGMB 9 News - New Set, New Look
I think the morning news shows are an important news outlet, to be sure. The Advertiser, for example, has to lock up its print content by late evening in order to show up on your doorstep. And even the evening television news tends to stop chasing stories at about 3 p.m. in order to get footage to the edit bay by 5 p.m. I have no doubt there's a lot of "real news" between then and dawn to catch up on.
But I also expect a little more fluff, a little more personality, a little more caffeine, basically, to start off the day. I think the morning news viewer's brain is in a completely different state than that of someone tuning in at 6 p.m., and they adjust to that.
So yeah, there's more live music, more cooking demonstrations, more boy scouts and their puppies.
Oddly enough, at least on KITV, I find their 5 p.m. newscast to be the real lightweight slot compared to the morning show. Half of their news stories are, "Tune in for more at 6 p.m.!" The other half are Dick Allgire's cooking segments with Ruby (and whatshername) and Dick Allgire's ridiculous recycled, canned "health segments," which are basically off-the-shelf garbage about fringe treatments or sensationalized "discoveries" (all featuring interviews with people who, frankly, don't match Hawaii's demographics in the least).
Seeing as how "LOST" airs on KITV, this would seem somewhat unlikely!
