Missed Yet Again

Two days ago, FTVLive told you how WCAU, the NBC O&O in Philly, touts itself as the Official TV Station on the Philadelphia Eagles.

Yet when it came to reporting the score of the game, THE official station of the Eagles got the score wrong.

Well, the next day, Dr. Ala Stanford announced she's running for Congress.

Stanford is pretty well known. During COVID, Dr. Stanford left her role as a pediatric surgeon to work full time to address health disparities in Black communities during the pandemic. This led to the establishment of the Black Doctors COVID-19 Consortium (BDCC), which combined a group of around 200 healthcare professionals. By February 2021, Stanford and the BDCC had vaccinated nearly 4,000 people of marginalized areas.

She was also recruited by Philadelphia sports teams, such as the Philadelphia Flyers, to encourage fans to get vaccinated. As a result of her efforts, she was recognized by Forbes magazine as a woman over the age of 50 who was changing the world. Stanford was also named one of Fortune Magazine's 50 Greatest Leaders and recognized by CNN as a Top 10 hero.

But apparently, that impressive resume was not enough to get the NBC O&O in a top market to spell her name correctly. Not just once, but at least twice.
