Shame on WFMJ

WFMJ has partnered up with the Akron-Canton and Pittsburgh Airports to do a morning weather report for each airport. My question to WFMJ is WHY they haven’t had a single news story in about 4 months on the Airport. They never give the airport good coverage, but cover CAK and PIT and even CLE a hundred times better.
This is a blow to the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport and all the work they are doing out there. They are trying their best to get new passengers in and bring in additional airlines/flights; but when you have the SUPPOSED #1 local TV station and local Morning Show giving Akron-Canton and Pittsburgh advertising every morning, your hard work is going down the drain.
So shame on WFMJ for doing this. I encourage you to send WFMJ an email: news@wfmj.com and tell them you don’t appreciate them partnering with competing airports and that you believe they should cover YNG.

I have emailed them.
I have sent my email to them as well…… That sucks.
You can add Channel 33 to list of local media outlest selling out to Akron-Canton Airport. Just saw a commerical last night for CAK airport on their station.
What amazes me is how everyone gets frustrated because CAK advertises in Youngstown, yet Akron has ZERO broadcast stations in town.
What everyone needs to remember, is the airport/line game is a business and a fight for users…Hopkins, which for YEARS was considered the dominant airport and didnt advertise, has even counterreacted with their own advertising. It sounds more like the brass at YNG need to step it up!
