Alright....Who moved Gilford?

WMUR-TV is in New Hampshire not Massachusetts and should know where New Hampshire towns, cities and counties are. Newscasters should know how to pronounce them all too, even the ones they find tough, like Coos and Contoocook.

Yep and WMUR is playing the same Inside Edition episode right now that they played last night...Goody, Goody! Awesome Job WMUR!

I remember when WMUR was located on Elm street across from NH insurance.

Every day at 4:30 Uncle Gus (Brenier) would have the Uncle Gus show for the local kiddies. I won the most freckles contest and my brother won at simon says! Uncle Gus would play games and show Popeye cartoons until 5 PM. He would then run into the bathroom, take off his Uncle Gus hat and put on a clip-on tie and coat to read the five PM news. During station break he would run back into the bathroom to take off the jacket and tie and put on his Atlantic Red Ball gas station hat and be the Atlantic Red Ball weather man. He has already gotten the weather dope from Don Kent in Boston.

So let's not be so critical. Rember, Uncle Gus is watching you....

PS. I delivered the Union Leader to them and they tipped me 50 cents a week. Big money in the 60s.

The issue is these stations don't make anywhere near the money they used to. Their ad revenue is substantially lower than it was years ago due to intense competition with multiple media sources that weren't in existence years ago. Hence, less profitability equates to a lower quality product. That being said, the relative quality of output fromTV stations and newspapers is still good in comparison to the hit their profitability has taken. It is kind of simple.

It's unfortunate to get so upset by little mistakes. Life is way too short!

I'm not "Upset" about it....However showing the same show two days in a row in the same time slot is no "little mistake". I call that a whopper of a mistake. I mean seriously how do you not notice that the show that is being aired is the same one you aired the night before? I mean I just shrugged it off with a laugh, changed the channel and watched the Maine station. Not something the marketing department of WMUR should want to happen.

Perhaps when it's a content-free, sappy, tabloid "news" show of questionable content to begin with?
