Mike Snuffer is the news director for WSIL in Carterville, Ill. The station’s national, network-provided content is also broadcast on sister station KPOB-TV, located in Missouri. Snuffer decides local content for KPOB from the WSIL office.
Snuffer is primarily interested in receiving local news stories since he receives national news content from ABC and CNN. He says a press release will gain his attention “if it’s got some local angle on it.” Pitch him by e-mail, but do not include high-resolution images or attachments. Pitches should include a Web link to additional information.
WSIL-TV and KPOB-TV air a mix of syndicated programming and network provided news, sports and entertainment to the Carterville, Ill. and Poplar Bluff, Mo. areas. Both are ABC affiliates.
