All of this when their current forecast is wrong about half the time.<br /><br />I admit when watching Brittany or Lisa I don't listen to the forecast. I wonder what Spencer does for a living he is on maybe one time in a couple of weeks and that is it? He must have some side gigs or a good contract...<br /><br />Another thing for PIX or KTV - U?

They've created a blueprint on how to be profitable. It's gone from a cottage industry to an all-consuming industrial juggernaut and most all local news stations must now follow. <br /><br />I agree - as someone who grew-up on the northern plains. It's absurd when even a few scattered sprinkles is referred to as "a storm." Every single weather system that approaches the Bay Area is a STORM! STORM CENTRAL! STORM WATCH! We're your fucking STORM AUTHORITY and we're all DOOMED!<br /><br />All of this weather hype started with Katrina back in '05 and the blueprint was set in place during and after Sandy in 2012. As everyone who reads and comments on this blog knows, we live in an age of uncertainty, fear and apprehension, largely thanks to media amplification. It's always about ratings and money and there's always gonna be another storm coming.Perlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15587263963090192446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-25805423528656822922016-03-10T12:23:16.593-08:002016-03-10T12:23:16.593-08:00Lloyd Lindsey Young for the mother-effing WIN ;-)Lloyd Lindsey Young for the mother-effing WIN ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-27549047173258068612016-03-10T12:03:50.459-08:002016-03-10T12:03:50.459-08:00Weather is big in South Fla, a lot of pretty blond...Weather is big in South Fla, a lot of pretty blonds with fancy sets.

Bottom line, it that this a "normal" winter weather pattern, something we haven't seen in five winters. In fact, after this weekends storms, we will finally have more rain than last year on this date because of a very wet Dec. 2015. Its the snow thats very important. Anyway, there is no manual for weather reporters, so everyone is doing their thing. I would do it differently. Just my two cents.

As a kid back then, he made it entertaining to watch the weather reports.<br /><br />My rant today is that Gasia is a femme-bot whose volume is too high!!! I forgot about the hideous "THE NINE!" FAUX programmed this woman to shout, wave her arms around, and phoney smile and nod like a crazed bobblehead! Do not let Gasia have any caffeine!!!<br /><br />She was fine, until she was FAUXIFIED on MO2.<br /><br />I Keep hoping someone there gets a clue, and they take it down a notch, but nope.<br /><br />Since Alex Savidge was extremely close to losing his life, I hope it makes him rethink it...and go to a station that doesn't turn people into obnoxious trained monkeys as FAUX, and the others do.

And ratings equal money. You know this, Rich. The only way stations can get people to watch is by covering weather as nauseum when we get even drops. Is it too much most of the time? Sure. But tv is a business and we need to give viewers what they want. And that, unfortunately, is weather. This isn't some consultant bullshit, and believe me they spew a lot of bullshit, this is fact. Any station could show you the evidence as justification. Especially on a slow news day. So maybe check your facts before you go on a rant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-90949148083644188772016-03-10T07:00:12.059-08:002016-03-10T07:00:12.059-08:00KGO is way worse...you see their new 5-level forec...KGO is way worse...you see their new 5-level forecast...First off...we get rain...that's it...we don't get snow or tornados...yes flooding happens but usually isolated and once a decade in most areas...
