sifuwong Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I like this format and wished every station would do this...no need for anchors...i do think channel 39 needs more real stories instead of some stupid ones that they put in for comedic relief, but i like this format. Any chance that this type of format will be a trend for the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoevil Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I personally think the new format is horrid and so do a lot of other people that I know that are in the broadcasting industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian0123 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Newsfix is the worst thing ever. I feel like I'm watching a junior high kid's video project. "Today, some dude from the UN did whatever but look at that guy's head... could he BE any more bald?!?!?!" (and throw in still image of a cue ball). Watching it proves to me that we live in the movie Idiocracy. They'll probably even have an "Ow my balls" segment one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retama Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The format might work with a better crew. The one they have now is awful. I watched it for a few months and haven't been back, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firebird65 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Is the new format just that there are no newsreaders?This is what I don't get: They say NewsFix has no anchors or newsreaders. Huh? Then who is the idiot (and it's being kind to call him an idiot) narrating the stories?!?Brian 023 was right... watching NewsFix is like watching a bad junior high video project. Who's the intended audience? It must be either junior high schoolers or those who never managed to get out of junior high. It would be more productive use of time and a community service for Channel 39 to just show a test pattern during NewsFix's timeslot. The test pattern would probably be better produced and draw a more intelligent audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skwatra Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'm 30 and like the format. I don't like all the stories, but I can handle more of them then the local news on the other stations. Its still quite low, probably pay attention to a quarter of it when its on, but that's a lot more than I can normally take. The Day in Pictures segment is always good - unique things like that get me to tune in on occasion. Otherwise I can just get any news/sports/weather i want online, and I can pick and chose.
