A question I have is why did Cox Cable do away with all the Los Angeles channels?
The L.A. media does a much better job covering a major event in Santa Barbara than our local media. It's quite a sad state of affairs when our family had to had to hook up our antenna and rely on media 100 miles to the south for visal information.
This publication, "The Independent", has done a fine job in bringing up-to-date information for those... who have power and access to the internet.
I echo the sentiments of many here when I say... don't even get me started on the pathetic state of Wendy's broken toy she calls a "newspaper."
Yes, Santa Barbara is a small market and we're not expecting major market style news, but when there is an event, such as a very threating brush fire, we want some information.
Remember KIST and their steller coverage of the 1977 fire?
Remember KTMS' endless coverage of the 1990 Painted Cave Fire?
Well, the way things are going all we can do anymore is remember how local media USED to cover such disasters and dance with our televisions hoping to receive a decent signal from L.A.
