Television & Radio in the News

Television & Radio not only give the news, but they make the news. Most local newspapers have a TV & Radio section. In this section they report on entertainment factors like new shows and ratings. These sections also report on the goings on at the local affliates. What happened to your favorite reporter? Why did the noon anchor move to weekends? Why did a radio station change formats?

Today I want you to look at the Television & Radio Section of the Detroit Free Press. Please pick three different articles to read andwrite a minimum of a 3 sentence summary on each article. As a reminder a summary should be complete enough that I would not have to read the article on my own to get a clear understanding of the major points in the article.
