What is your favorite local network affiliate? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Yooch · 04-13-2007, 01:35 PM

My favorite is KSBW, Monterey, Salinas and California central coast. It's an NBC affiliate, with great news, weather and sports. I've been watching it for almost thirty years. Some of the people in sports and weather have been with KSBW a long time. The news crew seems like 'family'. Although there has been some turnover in anchors over the years, the station has a knack for hiring people who really connect with the viewers. It's a local news station I enjoy watching every day.

WTVF in Nashville, Tn. Its a CBS affiliate, I like there news & weather teams.
The only shows I watch on there is Jericho, Two & a half men, The King of Queens and The Late Late Show. But for news & weather its the best channel.

KFVS is with CBS everything is on there except for Deal or No Deal, Days of Our Lives and Desperate Housewives. But for news and weather is the closest to where I live so its the best for weather and also thats the only news station my parents have ever watched so that probably influences my decison a little bit

I get all those. WOIO is horrible, and WUAB was a lot better in the 1980s.

catlover79 · 04-13-2007, 05:35 PM

I think FOX-8 is my fave for news. I agree that WOIO AND WUAB were so much better in the '80s. I also LOVED Channel 61 when I was a kid. They had the BEST reruns and cartoons. I wish it was still around...

theshark8777 · 04-13-2007, 05:42 PM

WCLQ Channel 61 did have the greatest cartoons. I remember watching Top Cat on there! All the independents suck now adays.

I haven't watched my local affiliates in several years

Brent88 · 04-13-2007, 06:52 PM

I get TV stations from four markets, Atlanta, GA, Birmingham, AL, Montgomery, AL and Columbus, GA, so this is in order from best to worst by market:

Atlanta

WSB-TV ABC
WAGA-TV FOX
WGCL-TV CBS

*Don't get WXIA-TV NBC*

Birmingham

WJSU-TV ABC
WBRC-TV FOX

*Don't get WVTM-TV NBC or WIAT-TV CBS, but I used to, WVTM was good but WIAT sucked*

Montgomery

WSFA-TV NBC

*Don't get the others

Columbus, GA

WTVM-TV ABC

*Don't get the others, but used to and they are worthless, WTVM is the only one remotely interesting

My favorite local channel has always been WPIX*TV, my CW affiliate. They've always had the best news, and they have good late night shows like Frasier, Cheers, The Jeffersons, and Good Times.

Small Wonderian · 04-14-2007, 11:26 AM

For years, my favorite local station was WRIC (my ABC affiliate) with the exception of Thursday nights, which I would watch NBC programming exclusively on WWBT.

These days, I don't really have a favorite as I watch good programming from almost all the stations in my area.
