: During a major chemical fire in Columbus (WTTN's new C.O.L.) on May 11 & 12 Good Karma's WBEV/WXRO carried the press conference, but WTTN continued to just play music.
: Good going Good Karma - NOT!
The Madison radio stations even failed to really cover that event. If I recall... WIBA leaned on NBC 15 reporters and sound via their other news partners WTMJ (via TMJ-TV) for much of the developing part of the story and even post event. TDY had a reporter there the morning after, I think... but there was very little timely information/updates from either. Madison TV did a pretty good job on the story, however... a little over the top at times, but they were on top of it. Unfortunately, I think for the Madison "news/talk" stations... if it doesn't happen within Dane County they could care less. That's sad. There's more to the market than Madison.
