"WNEG may have been in a situation to do it, but it just not that simple here in Sumner County, TN.
It would take me 30 minutes to explain all the obstacles and hoops to do something like that here. It's more political here."

 WNEG under the original ownership, Roy and Evelyn Gaines was a real part of their community. No need to change that.
 He would go the schools and do a live remote covering nothing much more than what was for lunch, or what was on their minds.
 His TV was the same way. Each of their people were tightly connected to that small community. The fact that LeTernough was
a major force there, he covered what they did as well.
 That station was unique in every respect, but exactly what a "local" broadcaster should be doing.
 When I did a little TV consulting for him, I and my wife were made to feel a part of the "family', down to ham and eggs
for breakfast from MS. Evelyn.
  They knew the "secret".
