As all of you from snowy regions agree, it is important for us to be on a look out for morning snow storms. We need to look out for school cancellations, road/commute conditions, flight schedule changes, etc. So, naturally, we all turn to local news for weather updates.
I watch the Fox News at 10 (mostly, because I don’t want to wait until 11). It angers me to no end that they move “weather coverage” towards the end of the show, just to keep the viewers stuck on their channel. They also keep people guessing and on their toes, by pretending to start the weather coverage at the beginning of the show, before every commercial, and in between stories.
I know this isn’t a new trick employed by the news station to use the best story to lure viewers. However, it is too blatantly obvious when it comes to weather related stories. We are trying to get to bed early to prepare for them storm! Why do you have to push the weather to the end?!
