WFTV Sweeps Super Tease

This spot gives the impression that WFTV in Orlando is all over several interesting stories.

They're certainly not giving up against the Olympics.

What do you think of spots that "give away" the stories you're planning to do for sweeps?  Does it give the competition a chance to play catch up?  Would you risk it?
