I don’t watch my local news for several reasons, with the most notable being that I live in Florida and every newscast starts out with something like, “A local man is in critical condition this evening after getting his genitalia caught in…” and then the anchor names something ridiculous like a toaster or a rare mammal’s mouth. But if my local news teams had the same kind of spirit and charisma as the gang from the WTKR First at Four broadcast in Virginia, I’d definitely be a lot more willing to at least give them a chance.
Barbara Ciara and her cohorts cut this 1970s style promo as a pseudo-tribute to Anchorman, but it’s more of a throwback to the all-around awfulness of the disco decade, and I love it.
