WATE interrupted the normal news to break away to Jim Wogan for what Lori Tucker said was a report that is clearing up a rumor. Wogan begins to say that the Maryville Daily Times is reporting a divorce for one of our UT coaches.

The primary reason, NO one should watch shock television news. This is not NEWS, people. This is the coach’s personal life. This is an issue only for the coach’s family, not us fans. It will not affect the coaches ability or inability to coach college sports. Leave the personal family issues alone!

There are some good reporters at WATE. However, the station continues to make bone headed decisions like this one. And you wonder why WATE keeps staying at the bottom of Knoxville’s ratings numbers.
