Producers of a handful of shows airing on Insight Cable's Channel 2 are getting a little nervous, I hear, over rumblings that major changes are coming to the station and cable company.
Shows like DotCom, with Bob Sokoler, and the lineup of sports programming (Red and Blue Review, Page One Sports) as well as a diverse group of programs including Villionaire, Our Kids by JCPS, Kentuckiana 2day and the Scott Davenport Show (Bellarmine's coach) are all carried on Channel 2.
No one, including Sokoler, that I talked with knew what the plans are. There are about a dozen freelance production personnel who work on the local programming at the company.
Jason Keller, an Insight spokesman, acknowledged the company is working with TV consulting company Frank Magid Associates (which has done work with WHAS-TV) and is considering changes for the station.
"Insight is focused on making all our products better," he said. "We are reviewing ways Louisville families can receive expanded news and entertainment about our community."
Keller says any change will be a positive one. "We will announce a significant investment in this community, and one that we think will bring Kentuckians together and make our Commonwealth proud," he said.
Insight is indeed serious to use Frank Magid and Associates. Very interesting
In all the places I have lived the one constant is that all the Magid-client TV news operations (KSTP WHO) were the most sensational.
Magid promises its clients ratings with its products and services.
All this makes me ask this daring question: does Insight expect to be the fifth TV news operation in town with this move?
