Browns opt to end deal with Ch. 19

Less than a month before their first preseason game, the Browns are looking for a new television partner after terminating their relationship with WOIO Channel 19.
The Browns notified the station of their intention on Thursday, three days after Channel 19 aired the 911 tape of Nancy Fisher, sister of Browns owner Randy Lerner, finding her 6-year-old daughter drowned in a creek on family property in Mantua.

I hate this station--they have always leaned to a more sensationalistic approach rather than objective to their news. Good for the Browns. I didn't see the broadcast but there was no reason for them to broadcast the 911 call--just because this was the daughter of the sister of the Browns' owner? This is the station that let its anchor woman pose nude for a story and then hired the former Youngstown anchor who videoed stripping down to nothing while on vacation (I'm sure everybody remembers her) in sort of a Girls Gone Wild thing.
