Its also a good thing that company’s don’t provide health insurance. Maybe Tom Mcghee can get a job at Wal Mart now, it probably has better benefits. We definitely shouldn’t set the bar to high when it comes to benefits that business’s pay out, it might cause poverty to decline. God forbid somebody who went to college for a journalism degree would expect to have any health insurance at their full-time job!

They have only been the WB television network for 9 years. They have had UPN since 2000. Since the UPN is a secondary affliate, they are able to place those shows where they want. Contrary to popular believe, the WB (as their primary) affliate requires their shows to be in Prime time, and wherever else they deem necesssary!

The station never officially announced that they were moving to Charleston, they announced they were opening another office in Charleston. The station has been solid in portsmouth since it’s inception. I am truly one of the biggest WB fans around the tri-state area. I think all the people who whine about the station are ridiculous. be happy someone is actually bringing you the WB shows and hop off WHCP’s back about it!

So the News was stopped. What you all didn’t seem to catch up on was the fact that they TRIED to keep going after Tom McGee threatened the STATION MANAGER with violence. They actually put on two days worth of it, and in my opinion it was their two best newscasts.

I am appaulled at all the people who are actually backing Tom McGee on this. He (as the charleston Daily Gazette points out in most every article they publish) is a convicted DUI king. This doesn’t maybe apprear to all of you out there that maybe he might also have a problem personality? Give me a break.

Those employees at the Charleston WHCP were whining over not having insurance in today’s society, where even at the best jobs you have to get your own insurance. And parking???? WHINING ABOUT PARKING??? are you kidding me? Do you know where the WHCP Charleston office was located? There was no Parking except for meters in that area to begin with!

And cram it about the signal. only adelphia and Charter have digital feeds, and when there is an issue, its not WHCP’s fault, it is normally charter or adelphia’s fault but they aren’t taking the blame. Here recently Adelphia and Charter have been so bad on their feeds there is nothing but gliches all the way through entire programs.

Please don’t pick on commercials or commercial quaility. WSAZ, WOWK, WVAH, and WCHS all have the same thing going on. And if you didn’t like the commercials they were airing, do something about it. Become a salesperson yourself and try to sell airtime for a guy who was given the title “Bad Boy of Charleston” and fight all the negative press via letters and word of mouth and articles in well respected Newspapers.

Families lives ruined…..Scott Roberts says, well thank you for bringing that up. At least Tom mcGee had the decency to implode before all the WHCP employees lost their jobs.

Say what you will about Mike Karr stammering and shit, but I have seen a lot of the newscasters stammer over the years and he was only on for 4 months. He is a really standup guy and you should be ashamed of smashing him on here. Do you even know him? Glass houses I tell you, Want a ROCK?

And just an aside, where are you getting the “more willing” partner issue? Last I saw, there were no ongoing advertisers for the newscast in Charleston for its businesses with the exception of Mark Hunt. But I am sure if you did a poll on local business in Charleston you would find the same thing the poor sales people at WHCP found, Charleston’s local business community wasn’t going to sponsor it. And if they say they were, why didn’t they? Sales goes two ways, you can call it or you can get called on for it.
