WSFL Morning Show Renamed to… The Morning Show

Published by admin on 10/29/2009 in Local Media.

wsfl.the.morning.show.openSouthFlorida.com/Live is no more. Well, at least in name only. As of yesterday morning WSFL’s morning show is now called, aptly, ‘The Morning Show’!

Gone is the ‘soundtrack’ that one of Tribune’s bosses thought was so very South Florida. It’s been replaced with a more newsier sounding music track along with a different open without a voice over. The lower thirds graphics are now reddish and lot more conventional looking versus the previous ‘stacked shelves’ look.

Added also is a news desk area where I’m assuming Tisha Lewis, former WTVJ reporter, will be delivering the top news from now. Or at least she was on Wednesday. Very ‘Today’-like.Other than that the rest of the show seemed to be as before with in-studio guests, cooking segments etc.

WFOR and CBS 60 Minutes Team For Big Medicare Investigation

Published by admin on 10/29/2009 in Local Media.

iteam_wildcard_2009The WFOR CBS4 I-Team has another whopper in the can and this one is went national last Sunday!

WFOR CBS4 teamed up with CBS’s ’60 Minutes’ to conduct a 4 month long joint investigation into Medicare fraud taking place in South Florida.

During the course of the investigation WFOR’s iTeam ended up uncovering billions of dollars siphoned out of Medicare by way of fraudulent clinics located in the Miami area.

The iTeam found out South Florida is pretty much the testing grounds for Medicare fraud methods that end up being used elsewhere in the country. They managed to sneak py cameras into 7 clinics alleged to be billing Medicare for services they aren’t providing and recorded staff offering to pay people who have valid Medicare numbers to complete fake paperwork for treatments and equipment they don’t need.

’60 Minutes’ aired their investigation this past Sunday. This Sunday, November 1st WFOR will air a 30 minute special at 6:30pm for a more in-depth look into Medicare fraud.

Tara Cardoso has been re-assigned to weekend evenings No info on waht Tara Cardoso’s status is or what position they’ve assigned her to.
