Buffalo News Media critic and Medaille College Instructer Alan Pergament featured a commentary about Channel 7’s Big Change, which was featured in Friday’s Buffalo News. Pergament speculated that Channel 7 would be returning to its Eyewitness News theme and format.

This change was supposed to be so big that even Jo Anna Pasceri and Keith Radford claimed to not know anything about. This change that everyone would be talking about was set to happen today, Monday October 27th.

It happend alright. I woke up this morning at exactly 7:00 A.M when Good Morning America was beginning. I will admit I was a little bummed that I didn’t get up 10 minutes sooner to see the big change. That is, until I actually saw what the big change was, then I decided that 10 minutes of sleep was worth more to me than the big change.

During a news brief, I experienced it, the Big Change, that is. I screamed for joy, and excitement and even shed tears of happiness…….NOT!!!

Pergament was exactly right, in his speculation. I was definitely irritated about all the hype surrounding the Big Change. I thought it was going to be something cool I guess, boy was I wrong.

Big deal, Channel 7 has gone back to its Eyewittness News theme and format. Channel 7 was right about one thing, everyone would be talking about it. Talking about how stupid it was maybe… because I know I sure am!!!!

What do you think about the “Big Change”. Tell me!!
