It has been brought to my attention that Nexstar Broadcasting is abusing what is left of the good name of KODE's news department by running a message at the top of the screen during some of its programming telling viewers that the station will soon no longer be available on the Allegiance cable system in southeast Kansas.
It is listed as a bulletin from the KODE newsroom. Apparently, no lessons were learned from the way KODE and KSNF's news operations were compromised last year as the battle between Nexstar and Cable One was being waged. The news personnel on KODE deserve better than this shameless manipulation by Nexstar (or Mission if you really believe Mission runs that station).

Almost as bad as the infomercial they did when the cable one contract expired. KODE news is more like the 700 Club with all of those religous stories they do now.
And what lesson did you think they were to have learned, all-knowing sage?
Hardly ever saw any relgious stories on KODE!
Is this true about the crawl saying it's from the news department? That is shameless and I sure hope it's not the cable provider putting that on there. I don't see technically how the station can put up a crawl on a single cable provider without it being on all of them.
Really NICe secondhand reporting there!
Why don't you write about an actual event that you witnessed? You will gain a small smear of credibility when you report what you actually have witnessed rather than what somebody else says they have seen.
(Newspapers are all dying, by the way... Just thought that I would throw that in there for my enjoyment!)

KODE used to be amazing. They had the most stable news in the area: Rich White, Michelle Kingsfeld, Chris Higgins, Eric Schrader, Bruce Vonderharr. Now no one stays more than a week.
