  • We have some concerns about WTVQ's performance in the market. We'll just leave it at that. (en)
  • "We want to demonstrate that the way things were done here in the past is not the way Shamrock operates." (en)
  • WTVQ has long had a poor image in the community when it comes to news. When the station first came on the air as channel 62, the news was little more than a joke. It included a news anchor who walked into the newsroom and threw his hat onto a coat rack to begin the evening's newscast. Then there was the sportscaster with the handlebar mustache who knew very little about the major sports but could certainly tell us a lot about rugby. (en)
