SO WHY?

TV6 started with a murder and a rape, then went to sound bites from Emily "Gainor" (should be Gaynor) Dick-Forde and Joseph Ross from President's House yesterday afternoon. Why go back to those? They should have been used last night in your late newscast, and latest on the Morning Edition today.

And why are we getting information from the THA press conference one day later? Why not the same urgency to present that information to the public that's given to the post cabinet or police press conferences? And then everyone wonders why Tobagonians feel they are treated as second class citizens. All the stations jumped on the Tobago bandwagon during the election, so let's see who will continue to bring us reliable Tobago coverage now that the campaigning has ended.

Then Fabian you went to a story on the COP from Charlene Stuart. We are guessing that story was supposed to be run last night, because the press conference was last evening.
But Fabian you did not even give us a change in tone when you went to the roti story. You just launched straight into the fact that there were long lines. (Miss Chrysostom, good use of the policeman shot. It added an interesting element to the story). You should have flipped the lead-in to say something like, "In true Divali tradition, there were long lines outside many roti shops today." And then Fabian you went to a story after that which began with "Hindus are celebrating Divali today...". Yes we know that already.

CNC 3's newscast looked like it was recorded because in the middle of Sampson Nanton reading a regional story at 12:25, the station cut out of that and went straight to a Divali greeting and an animated feature "Eva goes to foreign". So who took the day off at CNC?
