About a year ago I was giving a dedication speech for something in town, and the local media was invited to come cover it. WZZM and Fox showed up, but WOOD didn't. The media director of the association that I was giving the speech for made the comment to me that, "WOOD didn't show up because we don't have any dead bodies laying around."

WOOD's website used to be my go-to source for local online news, too, until their blasted "upgrade." Like you said, anything you want is buried, now they have a constant damn popup, and I've noticed that the page just loads like crap in general.
A week ago I sent them an e-mail, voicing my dislike in the upgrade, and informing them that I'd be switching to the website of another station in town. I knew it wouldn't change anything, but I figured I wanted somebody there to hear how I felt. I got a reply within a couple of days, saying they hope to make the changes to help the site work better, but I figure that's just a canned response.
