We have a geographic anomaly

Kevin Roderick • May 30 2006 3:07 AM

credit Channel 2 won't be number one at 11 much longer if they keep getting flummoxed by local geography. The picture pretty clearly shows you where Suzie Suh is reporting from: Oxnard High School, in you guessed it—Oxnard. The on-screen label wasn't alone in getting it wrong. Anchor Paul Magers introduced Suh as reporting from Santa Barbara. "You can be sure that the folks in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties noticed the mistake," Ron Fineman posts at On the Record.

Add Fineman: Now that the "KTLA Morning Show" dropped "news" from its name, Sam Rubin can no longer sign off his reports "from the newsroom." ~~Last week~~ Yesterday he tried from "the KTLA/WB, ah, showroom."

Separately: Did the Channel 5 name change start with a suggestion in the Pasadena Star-News?
