Today is the two-year anniversary of Michael Jackson's passing.  :cry: However, his legacy will forever live on, as the greatest entertainer of all time!  :clap: RIP MJ.

I love our ABC affiliate here especially when they do severe weather coverage, but do you think this ad is credible? Does it seem like hype what he's saying about this new radar of theirs?  :thinking:

Do I think it is credible? Yes.  Hype?  Not so much.  As I said recently in another thread, severe weather sells.  Seems they are trying to get people to check out their new RADAR, and see why they should trust this station for weather coverage.

I think it's credible, but I just wanted to see what other people's opinions would be. They certainly don't have to try very hard to pull in viewers for severe weather coverage. They work tirelessly on many occasions during severe weather outbreaks for as long as 4 to 6 hours straight with no commercial or news interruptions keeping folks safe. The April 27th tornado outbreak is one of many for example. Every other station was a joke doing their own version of TWC live weather updates every 30 minutes or not even bothering with that and decided a crawl would do the trick, our FOX affiliate greatly disappointed me that night reporting that a possible mile wide tornado was on the ground near Rome, Ga then went back to American Idol! All I kept thinking was "WTH? Why would you say something like that then go back to regular programming? That's stupid. It was like they didn't even care. (Sorry about the sudden rant at the end, when I think about how those other stations constantly drop the ball in circumstances like this it really bothers me. It's no wonder this station has been #1 in ratings for so long.)

Ha ha, you gotta love American Idol, right? It's kind of like how Oprah was more important than the Eastern Conference Finals in the NBA when she pushed the game back a day to do something in Chicago.

I think the ad looks really neat. It reminds me a lot of the first TWC Today in the new HD studio.

If you want to see what WeatherNation looks like....check it out. 

http://www.filmon.com/#WeatherNation


It's a service that lets you watch TV online, and they happen to carry WeatherNation. I don't care for their OCMs...

Watched a little of it. It feels like my local weather man trying to cover the whole country. Lackluster graphics and material.
