Who do you think?

KFDM is and always will be the number one station in this area.

Anonymous said...

I heard KBMT had higher ratings than KFDM. Is that true or is it household ratings were higher but demos were lower?

Anonymous said...

I don't know, I have been leaning toward Ch. 12 the past few months. They are putting on a pretty good broadcast.

12 is the worst, well....yeah the worst. Weather is better than both news & sports dept, who are the laziest of the 3.

Ware has the best sports, hands downs. The rest of fox is lame.

6 has the best weather and just above 12 in sports.

Let's not forget about the Enterprise. It sux!

Enterprise has been known to take stories off of message boards & do stories!

The Enterprise is stuck on race-baiting...

Well, the sports guy on Channel 6 is awful just awful....Ware is good, and Dave is good....I do not know how the Channel 6 sports guy keeps his job? Is he working for about 30 cents an hour? He just grins and thinks, " Man am I lucky these people don;t know any better."

IMHO, Dave Hoefferth is far and away the best and most knowledgeable sports anchor. I switch from Channel Six to Channel 12 to watch his segment.

Really? an anonymous poll among news people as to which station is the best?
I'm sure the big egos at the local TV stations will answer this with the same non-bias filter they use when choosing what stories to air.

Speaking of first, it looks like Fox burned everybody else on the county job cuts.

Does KFDM have any really hard hitting news? I know the summer is slow, but damn, the last two nights I have fallen asleep in the middle of their 10pm newscast.

Anonymous said...

Fox burned everybody else on county job cuts? How, becuase the fox "news" comes on at 4. Everyone had the story.

Anonymous said...

Oops, almost forgot. It is possible job cuts, not actual job cuts so far, but why confuse the issue with the actual facts of the story?

Anonymous said...

Burned everyone on the job cuts story? Everyone covered that. Burned because Fox "news" is on at 4?

Dave @ 12? LOL

Good voice & more interested in doing Lamar sports. 12 is the best @ being lazy (as is 6 sports). Love all the national feed stories Dave does!!! LMAO

Anonymous said...

In the Fall, Lamar football coming back is going to be a big deal. I think Dave is going to do a good job, ( as is Ware at Fox.) Who knows what Mike is going to do at KFDM, show highlights from the PAC-10?

You're out of your mind. Ware sucks. I swear he has a lisp.

Anonymous said...

HA HA. KFDM loses another reporter.

Anonymous said...

Yeah, they made have had the story (job cuts) and it WAS actual job cuts, but First at 4 beats 2nd at 5. You known we are in a petrochemical industry (okay, so many of you "posters" may not realize that), and breaking news is "Breaking News" regardless, as viewers are watching all times as well as checking the websites. Layoffs were first on Fox as well as breaking into the 4PM news the day the bank robbery was taking place at Wachovia - not to mention breaking the stories first on the website.

Aside from the grammatical errors, that made absolutely no sense. Klein must be back.

Enterprise had a story two weeks ago about a tropical depression & the headline read:

OFFICIAL: Bonnie

LOL @ ENTERPRISE & FOX 4 weather dept

Why in the hell did the Enterprise put Buna's logo on the front page?
Would they have done the same if PNG had used the Redskin's logo, or Nederland used Mississippi State's logo???????? Pick on the small guys why don't you?????

So, what's the deal with the Beaumont Enterprise and this idiot Gator.....Why is he hating on teachers? Is he going after cancer victims and crippled children next?

channel 6 sports is a joke... dave leads with too much off the feed. Fox 4 has the best sports team hands down.

Anonymous said...

Agree on Fox 4 sports. They are the best but Fox 4 is the worst in weather.

Enjoyed 6's new weather graphics.

Monk said...

Ch 6 sports puts my ass to sleep! Its like watching someone scrape their fingernails down a chalk board.....Dumpster Fire....Poor Dave...its all national feeds....hell he would lead with Cubs vs Reds for some god awful reason. Ware is by far the best and has local stories every day.

I came across this blog. Your problem is felt by all small city markets. If your news people were any good, they would move to another, bigger money making market.
You are going to get so-so stuff in your local market. I am sorry, you'll have to live with it. It sucks, but it is the truth. I know, I live in a small market and our news sucks really bad.

Anonymous said...

I think that is true just about everywhere. The talent almost always moves to the larger markets. There are exceptions though where good reporters decide to settle down in a particular area for personal reasons. That is on reason KFDM has done so well for so long.

Anonymous said...

Perhaps Dave does a story on Cubs vs. Reds because West Brook graduate Jay Bruce is having a great year with the Reds. Just saying.

KFDM gets a news release at 3pm about Entergy sending employees to Louisiana...everyone else runs the story in at 4 and at 5.... kfdm runs it at 10 with a big logo that says New at 10? I would expect better from the number 1 station. I would think someone could pick up the phone and find at least 1 real new story for 10. Wake up! KBTV is going to overtake you.

Does anyone watch Fox News @ 4? I wish stations would make their ratings public. I'd pay top dollar to see what the morning show with Tall Stuff, Scatterbrain and Lil' Bit pulls in.

Anonymous said...

I sort of like the "tall guy" on Ch. 4. Eddie Munster I can't stand. Maybe it's the hair or the shoes or that damn smirk.

Where is Ayna??? ch 12 weather is just not the same without her...she is hot and she knows her stuff!

Anonymous said...

Where the hell was Channel 6 on the constable story??? Oh wait they are number #1 so they dont have to cover things like that and Ch 12 is to busy shooting crap in HD to worry about real news. Kudos to Angel and Fox 4 for breaking the story.

Anonymous said...

The constable story is first class journalism. I can't believe Ch. 6 or 12 is not interested.....Then again, Ch. 6 is worried about their weather graphics. To hell with any actual story.
I've have started to watch Ch. 4's 9pm News about 3 times a week.If you have not watched, they are starting to put on a pretty good product.
Sorry Uncle Larry, it may be time to look to retirement. Ch. 6's demographics are what? Age 65-95? If so,some local Buick dealer needs to buy ad time.....When is the last time you heard a teenager say they watch local news on a regular basis?

Anonymous said...

Enjoy all the "I watch fox 4 news" posts. NO YOU DON'T, because if you did, their ratings wouldn't be in the toilet.

Ashly just posted on Facebook - GOTTA RUN

Anonymous said...

Well, if someone put on The Simpson's or King of the Hill on during the news, they would beat the news all day every day.....Like I said the demographics for news in this area is old.
Channel 4 really needs to do something with their weatherman. Dana is a good guy, but I am sorry, he just isn't a weatherman. If he read the news, or was a reporter, or something else, well....And he does good on his Cajun program on KAYD on Sundays unlike Leger who I can't stand.

Anonymous said...

I agree with the Fox 4 weather dept. They are the worst I have ever seen. Dana is a nice guy, but isn't a weatherman. The other 2 aren't even worth mentioning (one also sells suits @ Dillard's.)

Mike Nichols maybe boring but knows his forecast and everyone else is just jealous of Kosir... You must be watching to not like them.

Why is KBMT 12 boycotting Lamar athletics?

Anonymous said...

Baloney. 12's Dave Hoefferth is among Lamar's most loyal boosters and "The Voice" of Cardinal basketball. Hopefully, he'll once again be at the mike when football resumes.

Anonymous said...

Dave Hofferth was passed over by Lamar football for Mann @ KLVI.

12 is boycotting lamar athletics because their feelings were hurt when they didn't get the Lamar ahtletic TV contract.

Shows what YOU don't know!

Lamar football? I didn't know Lamar had a football team. I'm sure they will pack the stands for that!

Good. It is irresponsible to let that idiot on camera and them not call him out on his crap!

Angel San Juan is a respected journalist who personally reported on Hardin County's financial woes. It's disappointing that as KBTV's news director he tolerates Klein's frenzied distortions, untruths and oversights.

FOX 4 is the best news station ever!! I didn't even watch the news until, i stubled across them.. They are entertaining, interactive, and get the stories out!! Each member of the crew brings their own personality to the show... I never miss a day!

Lord knows I only watch the news for entertainment. That's why I watch FOX 4. They would never make the mistake of informing me.
