If you watch South Florida local news on a regular basis, you’ve no doubt seen the live shot-interrupting asshole who goes by the name of “Lyrikill.” Well, according to a NewsBlues.com tipster, WSVN is allegedly being sued by the music legend for alleged ”mental distress;” after he claims he was chased by a baseball bat-wielding live truck operator, after screwing up and interrupting a report by Dianne Fernandez. How much is he asking for his severe “mental distress?” A modest 35 thousand dollars. Funny; I always thought you needed brain cells in order to claim “mental distress.”

Check out his MySpace page for multiple videos of him nearly getting his ass kicked by reporters, live-truck operators, and cameramen.

The music superstar… rapper… performer... Errrr, “Lyrikill,”  who prides himself on preforming at local South Florida middle schools, can be seen chasing down and interrupting live shots on your local South Florida station of choice.

Check out one of his forced and free advertisement after the jump.

Is WFOR BossLady Considered To Rule KTVT?

Published by admin on 2/4/2010 in Local Media.

BossLady has turned the ship around and CBS is noticing. Dallas-based TV critic Ed Bark reports on his site that WFOR news director Adrienne Roark a.k.a. the @CBS4BossLady, is the frontrunner for KTVT’s vacant news director job.

Former KTVT vp/general manager Steve Mauldin, who was also the WFOR GM until 2003, was recently transfered again by CBS to their Los Angelis duopoly and he took KTVT news director Scott Diener with him.

Someone at CBS must have noticed BossLady plucked WFOR out of the ratings muck rather fast. Under her guidance the station has become a lot more consumer oriented and now has one of the largest investigative teams in the TV news business. WFOR is now often vying for the #1 ratings spot with WSVN we are told by some who have seen the latest ratings results.

CBS is also considering KTVT interim news director Scott Keenan, and KENS news director Kurt Davis

WFOR is now broadcasting in High Definition and from their newly built set. They premiered it on a delayed version of their 6:30PM news.  Updates and video soon…

Update: This looks like a soft-launch of a type. According to this article on CBS4.com, they are not broadcasting weather in HD.

“More work has yet to be done. In the coming months, you will see CBS4′s weather department broadcast in high definition. Eventually, the reporting done throughout South Florida communities will be in high definition as well.”

Update: WFOR has posted a video about the switch to HD here.
