Making News Savannah Style castIt was absolutely by accident that I began watching episodes of Making News: Savannah Style on TV Guide, but I was instantly drawn in by the dynamic personalities and behind-the-scenes action. I actually don’t watch any news program…but I’m not above watching a show about one.

Savannah’s WJCL news team has the lowest ratings in their market. The station has been plagued by staffing troubles (the general manager of the station was arrested for embezzlement, among other troubles) and the owners are trying to sell, leaving little money for upgrades and equipment. To that end, the cameras and sound work only some of the time, leaving the news team scrambling to meet deadlines and create TV-worthy coverage.

It’s often a disaster zone, and that’s most of the fun. Savannah Style is actually the second season of Making News, which followed a group of Texans in the premiere season. When Making News first ran in the summer months of 2007, it became TV Guide Channel’s highest-rated original series. Savannah Style has become another summer treat.

And I can see why. The young, good-looking staff is entertaining on many levels. At least one of them is boy crazy under her thin veneer of professionalism, while others are so busy scouting other stations they can barely get their own on-air interviews conducted. Money is at the top of everyone’s priority list - but there’s never any to be found. Meanwhile, the older, well-seasoned news manager tries to hold everything together, seemingly in vain as equipment falls apart and anchors dream of moving on to bigger and better things.

View the first episode of Making News: Savannah Style below. If you find yourself hooked and longing for more, you can view clips and full episodes of the show here.
