Channel 5 captions leave room for improvement

July 17, 2014 by Tripp Frohlichstein Leave a Comment

Parade photo

During the coverage of this year's Fair St. Louis, there was little mention from local TV stations about how many people attended.  Fair officials later estimated some 250,000 people came to the two and one-half day event.  But there was perhaps a shot at the lower attendance at the parade fired by Channel 5.  A graphic noted "dozens turn out for 132nd VP parade."  Clearly, … [Read more...] about Channel 5 captions leave room for improvement

Covering the St. Louis winter

February 7, 2014 by Tripp Frohlichstein 1 Comment

This winter, the most-talked-about local news is the weather. It seems like every few days we have another storm of some type. This puts extra pressure on the local television stations who know that people are tuning in to see what it is going to do – and when. Technology has helped weather coverage a great deal. All of the stations can now broadcast video of conditions … [Read more...] about Covering the St. Louis winter
