Who’s calling people, asking them to watch WFTV?

Roger Simmons, April 30, 2010

Interesting item posted on WFTV.com this morning…

“WFTV has received several reports of Lake County residents receiving automated phone calls encouraging them to watch a story that aired Thursday night on Eyewitness News.

“The story involved a Mount Dora doctor who posted signs on his office door asking people who support President Barack Obama’s health care plan to seek care elsewhere. The doctor is performing a non-FDA-approved procedure overseas; he is not doing anything illegal.

“Thursday afternoon, calls began to go out regarding the story. WFTV did not originate or participate in the calls. However, WFTV is investigating. If you got a call, please send an email to WFTV.”

Not sure what this is all about, but I suspect we’ll be hearing more soon. Sure looks like some political group may be involved.

Not Everybody Gets Fox at 5

March 9, 2006

Turns out not everyone can watch WOFL’s new early evening newscast. And it has nothing to do with its content. Fox’s Orlando duopoly of WOFL and WRBW is really a triopoly, since Fox-owned WOGX-Channel 51 in Ocala is also run out of Fox 35’s Lake Mary studios. Fox 51 has…
