Some good ones from today…
“Please tell James Spann to get off. He has been on for almost 30 minutes talking about weather that is not even here yet. God, we want to watch Oprah. PLEASE. Jerry Tracy comes on for a minute or two and then gets off. Who cares about football weather right now. He can talk about that at 5…………………………………………That’s why I don’t watch your station!!!!”
“It is utterly ridiculous that you cut into an entire program to go on and on about the weather whenever there is a storm as far away as an hour. I cannot be the only person who does not understand why you cannot come on, state what you need to say and then run a ticker tape of updates. But to talk the length of an entire show and then some makes no sense at all. People don’t care, regardless of your reasons, to sit and have to watch this stuff. Notify them and update them if it is necessary, otherwise allow the storm to move on and be done with it.”
“Is it THAT necessary for James Spann to interrupt Oprah Winfrey shows on a regular basis because of the ‘severe weather’?? Spit it out! It doesn’t take 45 minutes to tell people where the severe weather is, and what it’s doing. A tornado hasn’t even been spotted!! I am extremely frustrated…”
Ah, the joys of long form tornado coverage. I look forward to the day when there is sufficient bandwidth and a nice TV interface so we can do it all on the Internet!
