As usual, I’m a day late and a dollar short. I missed the news that Adam Kleinheider is out of WKRN. I think say uncle put it best:

sorry to hear it. If there’s anything I can do, let me know.

It’s offical: I have no use for WKRN.

That about sums it up. There was a time when Mike Sechrist was still there when he almost had me believing that even their local news might be worth watching again. Not so much anymore. So, I guess the local media’s experiment with “new media” is officially over. I can now continue watching cynically as local media implodes, atrophies and is replaced from the outside rather than from internal change.

Best of luck to ACK in his future endeavors, which I’m sure will be successful.

This one is for Aunt B:

I just pulled up a web browser, intending to go to http://www.volunteervoters.com/, but my fingers, as if operating with a mind of their own, typed http://www.volunteercooters.com/.

Side note: the domain is available. I’m just sayin’.
