Each morning for decades I've been getting local news on WHP
580 (a Clear Channel station) but in recent weeks that has
changed. Now there is a man and a woman doing the news on
WHP and it is embarrassing to listen to them. They mumble
words, swallow syllables, start a news story and then restart
it, mispronounce words and it's difficult to follow what they
are saying. This isn't just occasionally, but on every
newscast. The writing is terrible too. I don't think their
news stories ever answer the five "Ws" and the "H" questions,
who, what, when, where, why and how. Isn't this taught in
journalism courses anymore?
I don't especially care for Fox News either that WHP now
carries.
For good local news I now listen to WDAC 94.5 FM Lancaster.
It is definitely lack of content that drove me away from WHP.
