KTVU Would Like You To Know There's a Parade Saturday Night In The City In Case You Didn't Hear And It Involves Dragons

 In case you haven't heard, there's a parade in SF tonight.

KTVU has been plugging its Chinese New Year extravaganza --at least 7-8 times on Saturday's night's 5 PM newscast.

Wait, make that 10 times! And we're not even counting the extra live shots this morning on "MO2."

We don't denigrate Channel 2 for pubbing a significant cultural event for the Bay Area.

We wish, however, they were a bit more prudent placing a televised commercial venture of their own into actual news content. I know ethics long ago departed the local TV News handbook.

On the other hand, it could be worse.
