Back to Irene ratings. I am not surprised that TWC was the number one source. Like some of you have already mentioned, their programming sucks, but when it comes to covering the weather (especially severe weather events), their coverage is great!
The only problem, in my opinion, is Bryan Norcross. He seems very uncomfortable while on-air and seems to stumble from time to time (I know nobody is perfect). He seems to know his stuff, but I just don't think he is great at communicating it. Dr. Knabb is great.
On the other hand, TWC did a great job with having Carl do updates from the expert desk during severe weather events. He is a fantastic meteorologist, and definitely communicates that in a clear, concise way.
