I'm annoyed by just about everything they do.

they actually want you to pay 4.95 a month to look at the three words they put as a description

You really don't want me to start about those Blankety blank blanks at News 12. I lived in the Bronx for a number of years and these folks that are reporters are just biding their time till they get picked up by a major netowrk affiliate, or can't speak English. They really tend to be downright stupid when it comes to the news they report, and have tried a few backhanded ways to get a scoop from the FDNY, such as calling the dispatcher directly instead of going to the press office. I can remember a third alarm on Bronxwood Avenue back in 98 or 99 where an elderly gentleman was killed. Instead of taking footage of those putting out the fire or some of the concerned neighbors, there was the cameraman, zoomed in on the sobbing relatives. Skells.

Anyone ever watch Family Guy?... You know their news channel Quahog News 5...its all adult humor and jokes but they do a better job than News 12!!!!!!!!! Like someone said in another thread...it might have been RWC130, you have to watch channel 12 with the mute on.

My bad if it wasn't RWC.

Maybe it's because I'm on OptOnline but I don't need a password or anything to see descriptions of the news stories or to look at anything on the site. At least not that I can find.

A reminder fo those with Optimum Internet, who use the News 12 Forums- be careful what you write. Since you are in the system and are "free" to use the board, your account is linked directly to your IP when you use the board.

The site is free to those who subscribe to Cablevision Cable or Broadband.

If you live outside of Westchester and do not subscribe to the above, and want to stay current on what goes on in the WC, than you must pay. Like when I travel and acess it via a different ISP, I have to enter in my OptOnline name and password or my account number to access the news. I would have thought I would just have to put in 25 cents and turn the knob, and the news would come out.

First of all News-12 Sux ! They want to be considered a "Pro" news organization, but lack the professionalism. The only good thing about having to use your account # on the board, is maybe NOW someone can be held accountable for their post. I have seen many things posted on there that had no basis or evidence - it was pure BULLsheet !!!!! Anyone can post BS under a screenname. If you are not willing to sign your name to it- it means Nothing !!

Amy Nay scares me. There's something about that crooked smile of hers that worries me. I just can't put my finger on it.

all news 12 is that they are a bunch of "news casters" that think they work for Westchester County and are intitled to something 'higher up'. All of them on that channel think their $h!t doesn't stink and they can get away with mindless talk and crappy segways...it's horrible..really really horrible. I wish some entity would hire someone just to observe how $h!tty of a job they do! They should recommend to some council voted on by all Westchester residents and hold a meeting and have News 12 dropped off the air and have Brian Conybear and the stupid weather guy publicly humiliated
