Speakout
(Opinion ~ 12/17/21)
Hello Sikeston and surrounding Missouri. I was just calling to see who started all these lines on all these stations, when somebody is introduced, and you know who they are, they put these big lines across your TV. I would like to know who began all this because it really is bad and it seems like it is getting worse every day. I would like to know. I know that KFVS, like CBS, started it a long time ago. But it’s all went to all the stations. I would just really like to know so thank you for letting me know.
