Is there really any sense in TV stations providing traffic reports, especially on weekends?
Other than it being a sales department cash grab from some sponsor who is willing to fork over the bucks, why are they there?
On Global's News Hour yesterday there was two supposed "traffic reports" from the Global chopper. The first was a shot of BC Place Stadium with the illuminated Union Jack on the roof awaiting
the arrival of Sir Paul tonight. The second was a look at some Christmas lights at Van Deussen Gardens and a mention of the upcoming Christmas light display. Neither report had a mention of any
current traffic conditions. As is the case with most stuff or fluff coming out of Lake City these days, I'd suggest whoever wrote the material for each piece ask Santa for a set of Hooked On Phonics
this year.
The weekday reports make no logical sense, the weekend reports make even less sense.
