So today my friend and I finally made it way out to Publix off Old Henry. For ages you constantly hear people singing the praises of this place. Now I will say the cheese selection is crazy huge. The soup and salad bar is amazing, along with the wings and Chinese food bar. But I'm sorry. Kroger has Publix beat on prices. At least on stuff I buy. Also Publix, why don't you put the prices of your products in the app (some products do have prices)? And some places in the store, products have no prices.

So all in all Publix just isn't for me. Plus it's like 20 miles from where I live.

Tonight during the 10th inning of a tied World Series game, local master control abruptly cut the live broadcast to force an automated local news block, followed immediately by dead air, glitched commercials that restarted halfway through, and an on-screen score ticker that was two innings behind.
I was watching the game on the 4K feed, so everything played out fine on my end.

But once I saw people posting online about the broadcast dropping, I pulled up my local recording to verify—and sure enough, master control completely dropped the ball.
Don't blame national Fox for this—Fox delivered the live network feed without issue. This was a 100% local operational disaster straight out of South Floyd Street.

When Gray Media acquired these stations and forced two competing newsrooms under one roof, executive PR pitched it as "pooling resources" to create "the region's largest news team." In reality, it’s classic debt-servicing corporate cost-cutting:

1. Stripping Local Control: They’ve gutted behind-the-scenes engineering and master control staff, opting to rely on rigid, automated timer systems instead of paying human operators to run the board.

2. Master Control Apathy: A competent, well-staffed control room would have manually overridden the news timer to keep the extra-innings game live until the final out. Instead, automated software fired off prematurely while local management was completely asleep at the wheel.

1. Loss of Accountability: For decades, WDRB and WAVE kept each other sharp through actual newsroom competition. Now that they share a parent company, an assignment desk, and a production hub, there is zero incentive to maintain quality—leaving viewers stuck with a glitchy, amateur product on public airwaves.
   Corporate media mergers strip local jobs, eliminate investigative competition, and now can’t even handle the bare minimum of airing a live championship sports broadcast without cutting the feed.

Local management needs to answer for how badly they’ve botched this transition. This is how you burn through viewer trust in record time. This is one way to quickly lose your viewers to WLKY and WHAS.

Did WDRB cut from the world series to show the local news? What is going on? It was going to the bottom of the 10th and I look away and now it's Scott Reynolds. I get broadcast OTA.

I'm not just in the Twilight Zone am I??! WDRB cut into Game 4 while it's tied, right??

Gray Media sucks merging these two together and showing their incompetence by switching over to the news in the middle of the game.

EDIT: Finally got it switched back in the top of the 11th after beginning to show Big Bang Theory

What businesses, local or not, so long as they have a location here, should we NOT support?

Fine with hearing personal drama, but would prefer to keep this focused on the more objectively fucked up reasons to hate a business. Like, I never liked Crumbl Cookie, but literally nobody told me they were tied to the LDS/Mormonism cult?!

Louisville's usually pretty anti-cult, so I was like, wtf.

Some things aren't surprising, like ik a lot of Waffle House money goes to the GOP, but...

Good locals of Louisville, what businesses are we avoiding in town, and why? I can look up who donates to what all day, and believe me, I have, but it's way harder to find info on non-franchises, where they meddle into local politics or do other heinous stuff, or again, stuff that won't really show up in spending reports like cult affiliation.

Any places to keep an eye out for?

Did WDRB just....stop airing the World Series midway through the tenth inning to show local news?

Any hairstylists in Louisville willing to share their salary and wether it’s a viable career choice?

I am bored and all my friends schedules don’t align with mine and was hoping to meet new people and have a good time.

With the mayoral election next week I’m genuinely curious about Shameka Parish-Wright. I consider myself decently informed on local politics and I just haven’t heard much from her. What are your opinions on her positions and why should I vote for her?

I really want to hear opinions based on her, not just that Greenberg is bad etc. Why should she be our next mayor?

He is missing an ear and his tail is mangled, but he also appears to have been recently shaved on his back side, so I am not sure if this is someone’s cat or not. He’s super friendly!

Hello guys, has any one of you here lived in Crowne at summit apartments in springhurst ?Or knows anyone who lives there? Any insights about your experience would be greatly appreciated 😊

On my way to the gym and some either drunk or texting asshole just came into the far right lane from the other direction, avoided them within an inch of my vehicle and they just swerved back into their lane as if it didn't happen.

Free adrenaline preworkout on the positive side

I'm moving next month and looking to rent a house this time. I found a place that looks appealing and it says it's listed by "Summit Residential Management". This is one I have not heard of. Does anyone hear have a personal experience with them? Thanks.

Incredible fried chicken sando. Maybe best in the city. Love the onigiri side!

I was over at the station today and saw they have an outdoor pet chip scanner to use I guess if you find a lost pet. That’s pretty cool.

$3.99 for a pair of tacos - options are al pastor, pollo, carne asada, or birria

Looks like there is a movie being filmed right now

Have been a big fan of WDRB news and their team for many years, but am I the only one that feels like they have ruined WDRB altogether with this WDRB +WAVE merge?

Has anyone here had to pursue a two party situation in which you need to get the other persons info and had to go about it through available footage from surrounding areas? How successful were you (in the context of Louisville security/footage)

I found a very unique walking stick left leaning against a bench at the Nature Center. I waited there for a while and then turned it to lost and found inside the Nature Center.

I thought it was too risky to leave leaning there as I almost took it just thinking cool find. But it's definitely an owned stick.

If this is your lost stick, go in and describe it, and it will be returned.

Hope it finds its owner. What a stick it was.
