And let's face it, morning shows are all the same. So if you can get people to sample your newscast based on personality, all the more power to ya.<br /><br />The people who hate this, probably think promoting "weather on the 8s, 5s, or 7s" along with news and traffic is good advertising.<br /><br />The only caveat is if Ron in the promo is anything like Ron on the newscast. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5321921310435138202.post-84738207106589189152013-03-18T19:56:41.653-07:002013-03-18T19:56:41.653-07:00I would love to leave my kids alone in a room with...I would love to leave my kids alone in a room with Ron...talking about...whatever it is Ron is talking about....not.

Everyone knows that you have news, it's not a ground-breaking revelation that you also do weather and sports. Make me laugh, make me like your people, and I'll check you out. I don't need to be told that you cover what matters to me...I assume all news products are doing that.
