So maybe this week’s segment doesn’t cover anything of import, but whatever. It’s all about Rick Pitino humping that awkward lady in our favorite Italian restaurant and then paying for her abortion. Like that matters. I mean, who hasn’t done that? Full disclosure: Fox41 refused to air the sex tape of that time Rick Pitino [...]

The scary and literal poo flood that wreaked havoc all over Louisville, Jerry & Steve touring the city and smelling the poo, all the news that didn’t happen because of the poo flood, University of Louisville spending thousands upon thousands of dollars prosecuting nursing student Nina Yoder because she exercised her freedom of speech only [...]

For Fox41 and WLKY-TV, the Fancy Farm picnic wasn’t a compelling news item. The idea of sending a news crew to the Saturday picnic three hours away was either too expensive, too much trouble or simply not newsworthy enough. Neither station is hanging its hat on political coverage. WLKY dropped its Frankfort reporter last year [...]

Covered all kinds of stuff on the teevee this morning. Jim Bunning, Jerry Abramson at Fancy Farm, the awesome Golden B.S. Awards (love love LOVED watching Candyce Clifft as she was forced to speak of golden excrement – oh, how Rick wishes this were his idea) and how to get involved, something boring about Valhalla [...]

It used to be a no-brainer on the first weekend in August. Every political reporter in Kentucky spent the weekend in western Kentucky and got familiar with barbecue, the heat and heated politics. That was before media started watching their pennies and foregoing most travel. And while the prospect of seeing what Jerry Abramson will [...]

Let’s hear it for our local TV newspeople who went over to Lexington Saturday night, where there was a gala event to hand out Emmy Awards. This is pretty good resume stuffing material, in many cases, or simply recognition for good work. The professionals from Louisville competed with their peers in 13 markets in Kentucky, [...]

We’re back again this week. And my favorite part of the segment? When Barry Bernsen has no idea about these internet tubes and struggles through our domain names, not realizing that Rick didn’t uncover the Daniel Mongiardo shenanigans. Check out the clip, though, as we hit on the Louisville mayoral race and the U.S. Senate [...]

Told ya we’d be back after the new owners of the CW lost their marbles. Jerry Abramson announces candidacy with Steve Beshear. Jim King, Greg Fischer, Steve Pence front-runners to be next mayor Kentucky’s largest city. Next time WDRB will actually display both graphics. And maybe they’ll spice things up a little? (They should also [...]

It was an absurd story idea in the first place, which makes it twice as weird that this story showed up on competing stations on the same night. Both WLKY’s Natasha Collins and Fox41′s Julie Tam did nearly identical stories last night suggesting that the job market is so desperate for aging women that they [...]

Does it seem to you like Karen Sypher is making random decisions about which media outlet to talk to every time she’s handed a setback in her case? Or maybe she’s rewarding some media outlets and punishing others. Yesterday afternoon, when Commonwealth Attorney Dave Stengel released his decision that her criminal complaint against Rick Pitino [...]
