Station Tries to Profit off Sad News

WWAY (Wilmington, North Carolina) Donna Gregory had a video posted on the station’s website where she informed viewers that she has cancer.

After months of trying to figure out what was wrong, Gregory says that she had a biopsy done on April 1.

“The irony of scheduling an exploratory medical procedure on that date was not lost on me, but I had convinced myself I would not have to worry about an April Fool’s joke, “she said “I believed I would leave the hospital with a prescription and a nutrition plan to quickly get back to perfect health.

That didn’t happen, however, and now I am trying to breathe through the reality that I was wrong.

I learned that doctors had found cancer in the tissue samples.”

She added, “I will be off the air for a while so I can undergo the treatment protocol doctors create. My plan is to get stronger and healthier each day, and prayers help, always.”

You can watch the video at this link, where for some reason, WWAY slapped a pre-roll ad on Gregory’s message to viewers.

How F’d up, do you have to be when you throw an ad on an anchor announcing she has cancer?
