Also, got word from one of my friends in Northeast PA, that WYOU-TV the CBS station from the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre TV market has decided to dump news all together. Even though they suffered poor ratings for years, it is no excuse to dump news. Broadcasting & Cable says that WYOU figures they will save close to $1 million a year by doing this. Also they, say that viewers, 'don't care about news'. Really? You must be kidding me.
