W X Y Z American Broadcasting Companies

These guys are losing touch with their customers.

There used to be only 3 channels in Detroit. Like the Big 3, your loyalty to your ride was just as important as your news channel.
I’m a GM guy. I have driven many many different kinds of cars but I will always come home to a GM.
Like GM, I am also a channel 7 person. If the news is on in my house, it’s tuned to Channel 7.
In the 70’s when I was earning my stripes, I didn’t watch the news. I was too busy doing other things. But suddenly when I grew up, I followed my Dad’s lead and kept the box on 7.
Bill Bonds. The last word in this city’s news ruled for more years than I care to remember. I can say that he never disappointed me. The interviews were great with the same questions I would ask but would never have the cojones to ask. He talked to everyone from the President to the Mayor, and everyone in between; if they made news, they talked to Bill. Bill went away but I Will always hold him in high esteem because he set the bar high, and dare I say unreachable by anyone in the news game today.
I can go on about Robbie, Diana and Doris. I don’t need to. They speak for themselves as being part of the elite that is channel 7.
The old guard has retired. Now there are new names, just as excellent as the people of the past. Alicia Smith, Keenan Smith, Chris Edwards are not as well known as the people of the past, but as it has been said, the cream always rises. As time passes they will fill the shoes of those that preceeded them. Mark my words.
