With prices today, like 6 dozen?

RandomStickman ,

How do you even move that much wings lmao. Is there some wing mafia?

SpruceBringsteen ,

Spread over a decade it’s not a crazy amount for a local franchise to take.

She did it over 19 months though

If she did it over 19 months and we use @jordanlund’s figures from another comment in the post of her stealing 465,838lbs of wings it would mean that she was stealing 800lbs of chicken a day. That’s an insane amount of chicken.

It’s unclear what Liddell did with $1.5 million worth of wings.

Come On journalists, we are dying over here

I’m pretty sure I could eat them before they spoil

That is a FUCK TON of chicken wings.

Alexa tells me the wholesale price of chicken wings is $3.22 a pound and each pound is around 5 wings.

So $1.5m / $3.22 = 465,838.5 pounds of wings.
2,329,193 wings.

What did they charge her with? “Possession with intent to distribute”? LOL.

If you ate that much I think it just might kill you.

Yeah, I was hoping the story would explain that she was supplying a friend’s restaurant or something.

Why is a news station in Texas concerned with an Illinois school district?

HonkTonkWoman ,

The news networks might have the same ownership & are sharing content to keep readers/viewers happy, without having to pay for local reporting.

One of our local news outlets does this because new ownership cut their budget. They use nationwide stories from other partner networks to cover the broadcast time or publication quota.

It kinda sucks living in an area where you can’t get local news.

In this case, WGN-TV is owned by Nexstar and KCBD is owned by Gray. Probably the case that KCBD has little budget for reporters, so they repackage other stations news (and add their copyright at the bottom) to drive traffic to their site.

HonkTonkWoman ,

Thanks for this. Am I correct & assuming that the deal would likely be made between Gray & Nexstar, rather than directly between WGB & KCBD?

I know when Sinclair wound up owning a second affiliate in my area, the non local stories were the same between the two affiliates. They each had their own staff & local coverage, but the filler was largely the same across both stations.

bamboo ,

It seems like the same author has the same story posted on other Gray stations as well. This is just my assumption but considering the KCBD article says “Copyright 2024 Gray Local Media, Inc. All rights reserved.” it looks like they are just regurgitating other news stories and presenting it as their own on all the Gray affiliates.

HonkTonkWoman ,

Ah, that’s a great catch.
