We have some concerns about WTVQ's performance in the market. We'll just leave it at that. (en)
"We want to demonstrate that the way things were done here in the past is not the way Shamrock operates." (en)
WTVQ has long had a poor image in the community when it comes to news. When the station first came on the air as channel 62, the news was little more than a joke. It included a news anchor who walked into the newsroom and threw his hat onto a coat rack to begin the evening's newscast. Then there was the sportscaster with the handlebar mustache who knew very little about the major sports but could certainly tell us a lot about rugby. (en)
