WDIV could have a contest for the next holiday party planner, just like their contest for the next traffic reporter. |

As long as no one died, then really it's just small potatoes. There will be more parties in the future. WDIV is a fun news station! |

Gplimpton, do you work for WDIV? If that's the case, I just want to tel you that you guys are my favorite news station. No another station in Metro Detroit balances out professional newscasting and fun and games with strictly timed detailed information better than you guys. |

Karen never leaves home without the knife. She is fan of the musical (soon to be movie) Sweeny Todd:
"At last, my right arm is complete again!" So, I guess you won't be inviting Karen after all. How rude! |

perhaps WDIV is not having a Christmas party because they are loosing so much money. Their ratings are terrible. |

I think WDIV's ratings were better than fox2's and I understand that fox2 is having a party. So, that must not be the answer. I'm glad so many posters on Detroit Yes are trying to find an answer to this, the most vexing issue confronting metro Detroit. I, for one, will not rest until we know the true facts. My sense of justice demands no less.

Fox 2 sucks! Their morning "news" is about as inane as that of the Fox News Channel. They spend too much time socializing, commenting, and just plain shooting the bull instead of actually reporting something newsworthy! |

Is it any wonder that WDIV is hurting for ratings? As you pointed out (wheel of crime), WDIV is relying far to much on cheap gimmicks (auditions for new traffic reporter). Report the news, don't insult the intelligence of the audience. Back to the party - when will someone tell us what happened? I can't sleep at night without an answer. |

Eh, I can deal with WDIV anyday over our other Whacko stations. WJBK is the lowest budget station I've ever seen. WXYZ uses those corny jokes throughout the newscasts from 40 years ago. |

It has been fourteen hours since I last asked - what happened to the party? Should we appoint a blue ribbon commission? The members of that commission would report their findings to us. This issue is quickly becoming a crisis! |

My sources tell me that the secret WDIV holiday party is being hosted by the Illuminati. The Trilateral Commission cited the recent economic slump for begging off the WDIV party.

The interest in this thread is probably directly proportionate to the amount of interest in local news channels. Car-jacking, Robbery, Murder and/or fires. Either we get all four or a combination in between. And there you have a local news report. It's depressing. |

Yeah I saw we're running a commercial that says that but we lost the households for the first time in forever, and I think the big demo. We won one of the smaller demos, which I wouldn't consider much of a victory. |
