Maybe the reason at least one station parrots releases and forgot how to do investigative stories is because the CAO is married to an anchor. And I do recall Ed and others of that time in Lafayette. They were darn good at what they did, unlike the so called "reporters" of today. So if the E in E Broussard Rd. is an initial rather than an indication of direction, why is the E smaller font than that which 'Broussard' is written and lacking a period to indicate an abbreviated name? Also, why is it that when you cross over Johnston St. as you travel along E Broussard Rd. that the name of the road changes to W Broussard Rd.? Does the 'W' on the West side of E Broussard road also serve as an initial? Just wondering.

I suppose what drives me "Nut-so" is the collection of young reporters that both KLFY and KATC have turned loose on our airways. Obviously, these people get the jobs because they are cheap to hire and are in this market to gain experience before moving on. the exception to this is that TV-10 seems to hire even below this level of competence. I'm not sure wether these people could actually get a job in another market unless it was a smaller market. Even Baton Rouge has people who can at least pronounce the local names correctly and don't appear to be working their way through college. Please take note KATC! Here is one symptom.. I'm convienced that neither 10 nor 3 have anyone onboard that has been in this market long enough or is intelligent enough to realize that the "E" in E. Broussard Road doesn't stand for East! I think that before you are allowed to go on the air here in a news gathering or news reporting capacity you should be given a one question test. Here is the question... "What was the name of Ambassador Caffery Pkwy before it was Ambassador Caffery Pkwy? If they don't know at least this much about their community.... go learn and get OJT elswhere!

As a lifelong resident of this area, I can honestly say that I don’t know the answer to that question in reference to Amb Caffrey
