Poor Curtis Carroll. The West Sacramento man has a phone number that's one digit away from the main phone line for Channel 13 and sister station Channel 31. (And, no, we're not going to give out his number here.)
Anyway, he says he's tired of fielding calls complaining about the newscasts on both stations. So tired, in fact, that he has recorded the following outgoing message on his home-answering machine:
If you thought you reached Channel 13 or Channel 31, home of adolescent anchoring, juvenile journalism and the worst newscast in the state, you didn't. You got that number wrong. If you got the right number, leave a message. Thanks.
Carroll, in an e-mail, explains his plight: "My wife and I have had our phone number for nearly 19 years, a few years before Channel 13 relocated to West Sacramento. We've had to endure hundreds of misdials and have always been pleasant. In the past dozen or so years, their news quality and commitment has slowly declined to the point now it barely could be called journalism. In my own small way, I am getting retribution."
Ouch.
