The initial response to Brian McFayden's debut as host of the "KXVO 15 10:00 News" has not been overwhelmingly positive, at least on local message boards:
From Nebraskaradio.com: KXVO wants to have a "hip" newscast, but yet Mr. MTV 1) acts like he is auditioning; and 2) doesn't act like he cares. Making fun of the camera kid at the end of the half hour broadcast was CLASSY. Note to Programming, don't include him in you're staff just cuz he was the host of TRL, include him because he is the right guy for the job. Not cuz he was on MTV, TRL, IOU or UPS.....give him the job because he is good. The last three nights may tell us different, and warrant a new host.From Mavpuck.com: I watched this event they call a "newscast" last night and it was nothing but rubbish. Either broadcast news (hard news and not fluff, like what viruses are going around) or forget it. There is a reason I don't watch local TV anymore and the trash they call newscasts is the primary reason (I'm including all five stations in Omaha who have "newscasts" scheduled in this last sentence).From eomaha.com: 15 minutes of fame goes fast!
[Updated: Thursday, April 27, 3:30 p.m.]Because of incorrect information supplied to Media Notes, it was erroneously written in this space in this morning's column that KMTV aired a story referencing "a local radio station in Omaha."
The story actually involved a 93-cent promotion by a Philadelphia gas station and a Philadelphia radio station,
not an Omaha radio station. The first four comments made under this post refer to the original, incorrect story. The Reader's Media Notes regrets any confusion this may have caused.

Funny. Todd n Tyler always rant how the world herald will refer to them or the Z as a local radio station or not at all. Now joural owned TV is doing the same.
That is why I dont feel it is the best thing for everybody. Too much conflict of interest. Does action 3 advertise on other radio groups? I havent noticed or paid attention.
yes... action 3 advertises on other radio groups as well.. at least i have heard advertisements on waitt/NRG stations
I work at a waitt/NRG radio station, and I can tell you that once 3 was taken over by Journal, the radio ads stopped on other radio stations. You may be remembering past spots, but since the Journal takeover, they aren't buying other radio.
Hey eomaha.com...
If you had actually listened to the story about a radio promotion selling gas at a reduced price, you would have heard it was a local PHILADELPHIA radio station. Get your facts straight!
KMTV is using NRG/Waitt Q98 and Lite 101.9
