'Making News: Savannah Style'

The TV Guide Network sent me info on its next behind the scenes of a small market TV newsroom show. Last time it was a station in West Texas, this time it's Savannah, Georgia:

On Wednesday, June 4th TV Guide Network will premiere season two of the original docu-reality series, MAKING NEWS: SAVANNAH STYLE, giving viewers a glimpse into ABC affiliate WJCL-TV--the lowest rated ABC affiliate in the country, as they try and make their way back from scandal, defecting on-air talent and outdated equipment. This time the cast is bringing more newsroom drama, outrageous stories and even more hilarious moments.

The cast of MAKING NEWS: SAVANNAH STYLE includes a news director whose accomplishments look like a ³who¹s who² of the broadcasting industry; a reporter who makes it her personal duty to hit up the latest restaurant in the area each week and a crime/local affairs reporter who likes to moonlight as a practical joker.

MAKING NEWS: SAVANNAH STYLE goes behind the make-up and camera lenses to put the spotlight on the chaos and special moments that take place both on and off screen in trying to create the best newscast. From the pressure of trying to make a mundane news story sound exciting to the daily struggles of the people responsible for putting the news together, everything will be exposed in this weekly show as they try and climb their way to the #1 spot in their market.

When: Making News: SAVANNAH STYLE ­ Wednesday, June 4th at 8:00 p.m. Eastern & Pacific

Hey, it will probably do better than Fox's Anchorwoman. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
