Newscast... or Commercial?
WTSP in Tampa is getting a lot of flack for this:
Ken Tonning, general manager at WTSP, compared the spots to promotions anchors might record when a circus comes to town.
"We decided to partner with them in this event and wanted to do something a little different," Tonning said, noting the spot also highlights the station's ticket giveaway, which includes a grand prize winner who sits in the venue's press box. "I don't think there are any ethical issues."
