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.

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!

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. |
