Uh, WISH TV? They Don't Live Here

File this in the "if you were from here, you'd know this stuff" folder.

The kids in the WOWO news room seem to have a problem with which TV stations are located in, and serve, the Fort Wayne market. 

Repeatedly, The Station Of The Year Marconi Award Winner, credits WISH TV (alive and well, serving Indianapolis), as the source of a story about grease in city drains. 

As an added bonus, WOWO also misidentifies Fort Wayne City Utilities as the "Fort Wayne Utilities Department". 

Further, the Maven wonders why WOWO did not credit the Journal Gazette, (that's the daily morning newspaper here.....it's not the Indy Star) which originally broke the story. 



Closed Circuit to WOWO news: The local CBS affiliate that you copied your homework from is WANE TV


So, on this eve of Thanksgiving, the Maven is thankful for the kids in the WOWO news room for providing and endless stream of errors and foolishness.
