I would like to make a comment about interrupting programming when there is no emergency. 

Public programming is NOT supposed to be interrupted when there is no emergency!  I can see the importance of interrupting for severe weather, school shootings, missing children etc, but to have programming interrupted because a basketball team is due to land back in Memphis is not an emergency.  This is why we have eyewitness news at eleven, five, six and ten.  You also have your sister station that comes on at nine. 

Regular news times should be spent for news and general programming time should be used for public programming.  An unobtrusive ticker at the bottom of the page would have sufficed in this situation like other stations did. 

Please remember that not everyone loves basketball.  Not everyone that views your station lives in Memphis. 

I have to agree, The Tigers trip to the NCAA finals was so overdone in the news. I understand the desire to get behind the team, I even found myself rooting for the Tigers once Indiana was out. But the coverage was over the top and some of the "reports" were just a constant rehash of the same old tired crap.

AMEN  I agree. it is very frustrating.
