We interrupt this program . . .
As the Conference Championship Games get closer, local news affiliates are running out of stories to last them until Sunday. So when a station is faced with this crisis, what does it do?
A story on itself!
WLUK-TV in Green Bay is pulling its Saturday 5:30 PM re-run of Seinfeld, because it happens to be (Giants QB) Eli Manning's favorite show. Of course, if Eli (having a little disposable income) really wanted to watch Seinfeld, he'd probably bring the complete DVD set, instead of banking on the Green Bay Ramada to show it on WLUK.
But, that would require we suspend our common sense for a second, and not believe they're doing this so guys like me will write about it.
The General Manager of WLUK gave an interview . . . to WLUK, to talk about the decision.
And to think, the NFL takes 2 WEEKS OFF before the Super Bowl.
