Do KBTX anchors always pronounce Wellborn Rd. like they just arrived to town?

I rarely watch KBTX, and the time I do Rusty Surette says "Well borne Road".

Guess I'll go back to skipping the program.

Not a fan of KBTX, but that seems like an odd reason to skip it

I typically don't watch because the news is irrelevant and the discourse inane. This is simply validation. I don't need carpetbaggers reading me fluff pieces.

For what it's worth ... a lot of the $5 haircut prettyfaces on Houston tv regularly butcher street names. Damn near all of em say Aldine like it's Al Dean instead of Awldine .

After the spate of restaurant-bashing threads recently, it's refreshing to go back to savaging local media. A nice diversion.

This thread might last a while as Mike patrols the football board looking for haters there.

I never heard the word "aircrafts" used for multiple airplanes until I saw it on the news here.

I would stop watching KTBX but they are the only local news station who graphics dont look like their from the 80s. KAGS(NBC) looks like a 3rd grader develops their background and isnt the ABC news channel out of Waco?

Karla is the only one worth watching. That Rusty guy tries like hell to turn everything into a huge scandal that would be more appropriate in a gossip tabloid. Oh my God, a worker is using a leaf blower to move asphalt pebbles! The horror!

This has been going on for decades now since the 80's. They're ridiculous. They need some common sense editing.

How I pronounce names:

Bexar - becks-ar
Guadalupe - Gua-Dah-Loo-Peh
San Jacinto - San Ha-Seen-Toh
Wellborne - Well-Born. That's an O and not a U.
Favre - Fav-ir

And I hate BBQ too. It's overrated for being just bland meat.

We won a damn war in order to call the place of the great victory San Jacinta !!! and the river is the Guadaloop.
AND
BBQ is not just the meat its the entire experience. The 10-12 hours with good buddies consuming mass quantities of beverage ( even tequila for the foreigners ) ,choking on smoke, drinking more beer, tending the fire with more delicacy that a CDC test lab, drinking more beer, and finally ..not really remembering the actual meal cause of ..well ...see above.

Oh and ..spending the next week getting the treatment from the Mrs cause you fell asleep on the sofa instead of spending the rest of the day in inane babble with her family

WRONG, YOU ARE FAKE NEWS

Correct:

Wellborn Rd. = Welb-urn or Welb-ern

Villa Maria = Vill-uh Maria (pronounce Vill like dill with a v, Maria almost like Muria)

Brazos = Braz-uz with the Bra pronounced like the first part of brag.

Mexia = who cares, irrelevant town

Jah-Sin-Tah or Jah-Sin-Toe? I thought it was more the latter.

It's fun confusing people with the correct pronunciations of city names derived from Spanish between Texas and California.

San Jacinto vs San Jose ... and La Jolla!

I remember stopping in Versailles, MO and learning that it's pronounced Vur- Sails, not Ver-sigh.

You must be referring to the street in Houston which is named for the town. The town is Pronounced San Phillip not Phillipee.
