WDIV could have a contest for the next holiday party planner, just like their contest for the next traffic reporter.

As long as no one died, then really it's just small potatoes. There will be more parties in the future. WDIV is a fun news station!

Gplimpton, do you work for WDIV? If that's the case, I just want to tel you that you guys are my favorite news station. No another station in Metro Detroit balances out professional newscasting and fun and games with strictly timed detailed information better than you guys.

Karen never leaves home without the knife. She is fan of the musical (soon to be movie) Sweeny Todd:





"At last, my right arm is complete again!"

So, I guess you won't be inviting Karen after all.

How rude!

perhaps WDIV is not having a Christmas party because they are loosing so much money. Their ratings are terrible.

I think WDIV's ratings were better than fox2's and I understand that fox2 is having a party.

So, that must not be the answer.

I'm glad so many posters on Detroit Yes are trying to find an answer to this, the most vexing issue confronting metro Detroit.

I, for one, will not rest until we know the true facts. My sense of justice demands no less.

Fox 2 sucks!

Their morning "news" is about as inane as that of the Fox News Channel.

They spend too much time socializing, commenting, and just plain shooting the bull instead of actually reporting something newsworthy!

What happened at the WDIV party last year doesn't matter anymore.

We MUST know why it was canceled this year.

There is no bigger question facing this region.

Gplimpton, if you do work at DIV, can you tell Michelle (the Director) that she is still missed at her last place of employment? Thanks. Oh, and tell John P. that State sucks.

Is it any wonder that WDIV is hurting for ratings?

As you pointed out (wheel of crime), WDIV is relying far to much on cheap gimmicks (auditions for new traffic reporter). Report the news, don't insult the intelligence of the audience.

Back to the party - when will someone tell us what happened? I can't sleep at night without an answer.

Eh, I can deal with WDIV anyday over our other Whacko stations. WJBK is the lowest budget station I've ever seen. WXYZ uses those corny jokes throughout the newscasts from 40 years ago.

It has been fourteen hours since I last asked - what happened to the party?

Should we appoint a blue ribbon commission? The members of that commission would report their findings to us.

This issue is quickly becoming a crisis!

The Trilateral Commission?

The Illuminati?

My sources tell me that the secret WDIV holiday party is being hosted by the Illuminati.

The Trilateral Commission cited the recent economic slump for begging off the WDIV party.

Meloni is a member of the Illuninati?

He struck me more as a member of the Knights of Columbus.

Hmmmmmm!

Why was this party canceled?

There are, in fact, a few winners at WDIV.

If only winners partied, there would be many non-party goers from all three newsrooms.

The Illuminati will soon be dealing with you and all others screwing with New World Order holiday parties.

The Illuminati has suppressed any further discussion on the WDIV holiday party.

Pity!

The interest in this thread is probably directly proportionate to the amount of interest in local news channels.

Car-jacking, Robbery, Murder and/or fires. Either we get all four or a combination in between. And there you have a local news report. It's depressing.

Why so depressed GP?

WDIV is still #1 @ 11 PM despite the horrible lead in programming from NBC.

Be happy!

Yeah I saw we're running a commercial that says that but we lost the households for the first time in forever, and I think the big demo. We won one of the smaller demos, which I wouldn't consider much of a victory.

The secret party is at a secret place and time - if you have not received your invite, you are not invited.

I don't think GP really works at 550 West Lafayette. He sounds like an agent provocateur from the Circle 7.

Yeah, I know where the party was last year too.

It was on Saturday, December 9, 2006.

I'm sure The Illuminati (or Grace Gilchrist) could provide you with these details.

Oh? Do you know me by my IP address that you fraudulently claimed to have in a previous thread?

Or are you just psychic?

Call me out - I want to see just how tight you are with The Illuminati.
