Western North Carolina's WLOS takes local news to high-def

The Greenville-Spartanburg-Asheville-Anderson DMA just netted itself another local station with HD news: WLOS (ABC). Starting this week, the station -- which serves the western parts of both North and South Carolina -- will be broadcasting from its new set and studio, which features a "rotating desk with two different back drops, more than two dozen HD monitors, new HD studio cameras, HD graphics, and the advanced HD 'Sky Watch' Weather Center." The station is just about a year late on being numero uno in the market, as rival WSPA-TV (the local CBS affiliate) took its local news HD in September of last year. Nothing wrong with choices, though.[Thanks, PopWeaverHDTV]

I'm glad that Asheville's tv station is finally getting the HD. The CBS affiliate out of Greenville is the only one we have now, and the anchors they have on there need to figure out that HD means PLEASE DON'T WEAR AS MUCH MAKEUP. It's caked on, and you can see where it rubs off on the cheap suit of the guy they have. It's terrible. Plus their weatherlady is more than a little frightening with her dead eyes and her EMPhasiSIS on THE WRong PaRTS of WORds.
PS: lbchs22: Trust me the "tree huggin lesbians" of which you speak probably have about as much interest in backwoods inbreeders like yourself as you have for them. They can keep making soap and not shaving, and you can keep having sex with your children. Everybody's happy!

To Whom It May Concern,
Why not give every legal American over the age of 18 a portion of that $750 Billion, which would be about $225,000 each so that the economy can be great again? I bet my life that everyone would pay off their home loans, which would get the banks out of their problems. And what money they have left would only go back into the economy and make everything fine again. Just a thought. Why bail out banks and the average person like myself and most everyone else always gets to suffer?
Sincerely,
Renee Peer
P.S.
I've sent this same email to the White House, Vice President Cheney, and several local news channels in South Carolina. I just want the politicians to think about this.
