KFMB Tv-Digital Post – Channel 8

I usually only post positive or mostly positive reviews. However, I’m watching the Channel 8 5:00 news and it has led me to this rant. Steve Price. Hopefully he will read this or someone who is paying attention tells him. I would change the channel if there was any other news on.
Steve, like several other «public figure» type people, think they have to affect a lisp when saying S’s (but only sometimes!) in an effort to sound erudite, smarter, more learned, whatever. Kevin Faulconer does it. Hillary Clinton does it. Instead, it has the opposite effect — I would provide an appropriate adjective here but want to continue occasional posts. Anyway, I think most of you know what I mean!
I’m changing the channel…

Your policy re. Directv stinks! It must be nice to be so lucrative that you can alienate 150,000 potential customers, not to mention the help you are giving the Chargers in justifying a lack of viewers/​fans.

Not sure why KFMB is being so hard headed with DirecTV, but I am guessing that it is $$$$, plain and simple. KFMB does not care about us as viewers only their internal interests. Poor management choices. Blacking out local viewers who can’t even watch the game on
is absolutely ludicrous. KFMB is losing respect and credibility to the people who have loved watching the line up. We can’t even watch for free do to the topography of Escondido. KFMB is suppose to support the community but I don’t think they care about the viewers. The power to solve this issue is their hands hopefully they care enough to open their broadcasts to DirecTV…

CBS Channel 8 pulled a quick one on us this past Thursday night being in a contract dispute with Direct TV. This might be our last season watching the «San Diego» Chargers so we were going to take advantage of every opportunity to support «our» team, including having a tailgate party at our house with friends to watch the first (and probably last) preseason game in San Diego on TV. We bought food… invited friends etc to only find out that Channel 8 has blacked out their signal to Direct TV subscribers!!! Interesting how they did it two hours before kickoff with no notice at all! Possibly the Spanos family is behind this??? We’ll know if KFMB hires Mark Fabiani a their spokesperson! Sorry, but I’m done with KFMB!

Been watching channel 8 since 1978 we just recently learned that they have refused to have access to DIRECTV so not only do we not get local 8 news also the programming not getting some sports Chargers are playing tonight we can’t watch them very very very disappointed

Take off Roger Hedgecox’s Sunday evening commentaries! I stopped watching this channel a couple of years ago, and decided to try it again. What a way to ruin a station by having his dribble being broadcasted. The Rush Limbaugh of San Diego!

Why don’t they broadcast over the air for people without cable /​satellite. All the other local channels do, not about to go spend $ 45 on a stupid converter box just to watch! So dumb!!!

The mothership news station of San Diego. Number one in ratings, but not in my book. And the main reasons is because of constant technical difficulties that have been happening lately, especially in the morning and midday newscasts. The thing that also gets on my nerves is the morning news crew speak with a type of ego in their voices that really irks me. But their evening news is absolutely solid, it’s very good. Also I love their Breaking News segments, they’re always first, and Chopper 8 and live updates from the chopper is just something that can’t be beat.

They are the best… very best news station. KFMB News is always to point. They are on all the top stories before anyone else has them. We need professional journalism and great anchors. They are pros… they talk normally not like staring at a tele prompter There was one weather person for awhile, Kim, that didn’t have her head In the game. They replaced her recently with an awesome young women who is really good. I’ve tried to watch other stations but always go back to 8. The other thing I like about KFMB is community service for many causes and everyone gets involved. All the news anchors walked today at the Susan G Komen Race For The Cure. Shows they’re not just talking heads. They live here with their families and stay active in our communities to make a difference. Straight A’s, 5 stars, golden goose, whatever! They are the best San Diego.

First of all, I show up at Nick’s to watch the UConn Basketball game vs. Pittsburgh, Strawberry Shortcake and Care Bears is on for the first half of the game. This was a #2 vs. #9 matchup. WTF.
Second of all, yoiu F’ed up on PGA coverage today. Stop F’ing things up. And no more Care Bears during top 10 NCAA matchups.
Fools!

Either text or drive the news truck. It’s one or the other because you, news truck driver obviously can’t do both.

airbrushed anchors… seriously?!
Journalism at its worst. I tried and tried but then one day i just couldn’t do it anymore .
The last straw: «Which spray wrinkle-​releaser works the best?»
OK if you’ve stooped this low maybe you should just cut back on your hours or create some news headlines to report about.

This is my favorite news channel! They got high-​definition, a cool set-​love the scenery backgrounds on the tv!,
Cool anchors-​Marcella-​congrats on the anchor award!, Kyle, the dark haired weather guy-​love his moving graphics; he moves his hand and a graphic follows him (pre-​done I know), Larry, Shawn, the abercrombie model looking guy with a sportsy voice, the girl with the unique name I forgot who was on field during the fires and I guess got promoted to a regular anchor. Young and hip anchors who all have a pretty nice wardrobe.
Like the fun segments-Larry’s rhyming, Shawn’s cookout.
It basically is pretty good overall.
