Television news coverage
Does anyone else think that 4 days of non stop coverage of Dorian is excessive? Especially when all programs are pre emptive by the coverage.
|
Yes, I do.
|
Yes
|
Without a doubt, yes.
Significant updates would have been all that was needed. As an imminent land fall approaches the more frequent. The 24/7 coverage and setting aside all programming was meteor-logical over kill with rampant redundancy!!! |
Trying to make a story out of nothing. Tired of watching newscasters stand around in the rain. I guess to them it is a real shame Dorian just skirted the coast. Today's news teams are a joke!
|
Yes!
|
No, enjoyed flipping it on when I wanted and catching up, can’t be anything good they prompted anyways ;)

It was of course down to making the call blanket coverage vs my guess an occasional update. The local Channels chose Blanket Coverage. IMO bad decision especially since the storm stalled. I watched on occasion my personal choice was Channel 2 all were fine, with the exception of Amy Sweezy who seemed uneasy being out of her normal Limelight. |

If they didn't provide lots and lots of coverage, there would be complaints about that. I seem to recall lack of information was a complaint last time. |

Me too. The updates are hours apart and they just fill in between with drama. Weathermen live for these moments and are excited to report a perfect formed eye of the storm, etc. |

Not sure why you are upset with Amy Sweezy...I enjoy her presence. Maybe she’s tired, having to be at work at 2 during those coverage days, maybe she reminds you of someone you don’t personally care for? (We don’t have to like everyone I realize.) |
No...I don't think it's been excessive.
Nor did I think the coverage of Katrina was excessive...which was also a complaint by certain folks. Primarily because I know how to operate my TV remote and change channels if I really wanted to and because it makes me grateful, appreciative and empathetic...for the horror of what others are going through. I also have, what seems to be a bad thing by some these days...a thirst for facts and as much accurate/true information as possible. |
Reminds me of the time every channel was besotted with O.J.Simpson.
One channel decided to stop showing O.J. 24/7 and received a huge boost in viewership. |
Tony on WESH 2 must have been medicated compared to his work during Irma. He was restrained, factual and very professional in my opinion. I like having the reports available whenever I wanted to check-in.
I miss the best reporter of all. Our own, tuccillo. |
And that Tony is HOT HOT HOT!!
