from blogkc comments--
Why do people turn on the TV? So they can watch TV!Sometimes that includes getting weather information, but constant re-telling of old news and forcing people to look at all the intricate details on moving multi-color weather maps is not necessary. Just tell me what is important. Most time, you don’t need to interrupt programming - just put up a small map in the corner, and a crawl at the bottom.
Oh, and a final note to the “Meteorologists”:JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOW A LOT ABOUT WEATHER, DOESN’T MEAN I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT!Stop telling me about system lines, fronts, cloud types, etc. I don’t care!Is it going to rain? Do I need to take cover? Should I wear sunblock? Those are the things I want to know. No other people on television are allowed such blatant egotism.
Can you imagine if Jack Harry spent 10 minutes explaining to the audience the finer points of how sportscasters put together the sports segment?
