Wednesday's story ideas

Fed rate cut... will they or won't they. It's decision day. Find out what it means, especially to home sales in your market.

Hollywood writers set to go on strike... and all because you young people like to watch shows on your computer and cell phone. Someone's making extra money here and it isn't the noble writer. Could see a ton of reality shows if the strike goes on a while.

Mystery shopping. It's becoming more popular as consumers get free stuff and a few bucks while companies get the info they need.

The "superbug"... what is MRSA and can it affect anyone?

And of course it's Halloween. Though in the last few years some girls who have come to our door look as though they should be accompanied by a public defender. Someone has written a book titled Stop Dressing Your Six-Year-Old Like a Skank. (I'm not making this up.) Might be interesting for the night crews to find a few girls dressed as Paris or Britney... and find out what parents think of this trend.

Believe it or not, reality shows use writers too.

Good point, though you have to admit it's probably a lot easier to write around reality video that's already been shot than to create an entire show on a blank page.
