Now see, people who watch this program could lip read, WLOS wouldn't have to rebroadcast this. So, every body who is a couch-tater boob-tube watching person neend to take lip reading classes. Git-R-Done.

So WLOS really does stand for We Lost Our Signal.
Sinclair was probably testing a new way to make more money with a cheaper, regional audio board.

Only the audio portion apparently.

Doesn't bode well for WLOS which isn't a bastion of anything that the ACT hasn't reported two days before.

The offer to put "LOST" in Maury's place tomorrow is nothing less than stupid. Why piss off the people who want to know the DNA results of whatever whore they are highlighting ... and making people tune in on a Friday afternoon?

Why just not run it in the middle of the night, and knock off an informercial or two??????????

WLOS =$$$$$$$$$

And nothing more. Sinclair has finally gotten a true strangle hold on whatever was left of the local station in the ASHEVILLE area actually giving two shits about anything local to this area.

WLOS should have it's license challenged in a BIG way, here.

Remember that the next time they start running the promos for renewal, and write to the FCC!!!!

Sinclair is running this station on the cheap.

THAT is the problem.

They do NOTHING to actually defend their license that is in the public interest.

When the renewal period comes up, I hope that everyone will remember not only the techincal problems with the station, but their lack of coverage of local news.

FOX does a better job!

Pathetic. They screw up a show they've been ushing, then re-air it BEFORE most people are home from work?? I really thought the tech issues there were simply a morning crew kind of thing...I've gotten used to reading the lips of Julie Wunder or whomever cause someone forgot to put on their mic or to turn it on. Ha!!! Just happened again as I was typing that!!!

I had no idea the tech issues extended to prime time. My first clue was when the sound kept fading out during LOST, then for several minutes the sound from another show (something about seeing an oasis and palm trees out on the horizon while Michael was being treated in a hospital) was played.

They gots problems...and not only w/ their attempts to stretch 30 minutes of news into a two hour news-fest JUST so they can compete with other, better, stations (WYFF and WSPA). Laws.

Oh and BTW...I figured out it was a WLOS problem simply by muting the already-silent tv...closed captioning was working perfectly.

W-LOSers... Watch for 30 short mins,you can see the same 4or5 snippets of snooze at least twice. It could be on a loop,save them some trouble.
I HATE IT!! I read my news on AC-T online.
Like someone said,the paper is days ahead,and I don't have to watch up the nostril shots of people they are interviewing.I could go on and on but I won't.
They also have the segment where they hunt wanted people, they never report

the crimes,if you only watched them you would think we live in shangra-la.
When they "covered" the last forest fire (from their parking lot) they asked for watchers to send video..? I think everyone is off on weekends and can,t be bothered...People. Join me in e-mailing everyone who can make a difference.

Does the average person have a voice?

South you stole all my thunder! LOL I think it is pretty lame station. Like the commercials as well the screaming blonde that sounds like a carnie trying to see high end rugs. The Priority of news stories is so mixed up it is just incredable. and even worse example is the stories they report Hear is a great Example Take a Stand on 570 am MAtt Mittan has been on top of stories like Well Metering WLOS is just this week doing a story and a very brief story about it. They need to buy a clue here. Get focused ,report what is going on with our elected officals what they are doing down east. Just my half a cents worth!

Just because someone watches TV doesn't mean they are a couch potato. Lost is an excellent show and for them to blame ABC was BS!!!!! Replaying it at 4 pm?!?!?!? Who's off work then?!?!?!? WLOS sucks and they know it!!!!!

Yeah, this was REALLY frustrating when it happened (husband and I are fans of the show)... and now they're running it at 4PM??? We won't even be home from work by then! Great job, WLOS.
