WCBI - WTF

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright, this is going to sound bad, but I couldn?t watch a single second of the entire Final Four day because of weather in WCBI?s area. Seriously, they have been tracking weather for 6 straight hours.

Given that they are the only one showing the Final Four today, could they not let Fox and ABC do the weather and they show the Dang Final Four?

[Pancho]

I hear you man. several don't have power to even see a TV

[Lord McBuckethead]

Just Pre-Empt the dang game if a Tornado is on the ground and give quick updates every commercial break.

Also, girl on there just said something like?.we know you guys want to watch basketball? no shit. Again, they need to figure out how to do this or just let Fox and/or ABC, or NBC handle weather when you are the only possible way to watch something like the Final Four.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I hear you man. several don't have power to even see a TV

Yeah, I get that. But everyone concerned by the weather can just watch ABC, NBC, Fox etc.

[Lord McBuckethead]

At least, after 6 hours they finally moved the small ass screen that is showing the game up a couple inches. That way we can see the score.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright now, WCBI remove the scroller and the damn First Alert logo off the bottom of the screen. Put it somewhere else.

I mean, do they not see what is on the screen? Who is producing their broadcast?

[Pancho]

they can't let the goofy dude in tupelo outdo them

[Lord McBuckethead]

Dude with the suspenders? Yeah, he is better anyway.

[Pancho]

yes sir. he all bout the info

[Lord McBuckethead]

I feel like this thread made them get to the last 12 minutes of the second final four game.

I started this thread and within 10 minutes they finally switched over.

Again, let NBC or ABC air the weather warnings. Stick to the game and give quick updates during the commercials.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Here we go again.
I love the coverage, but WCBI needs to be playing the Final Four and let others handle the weather updates.

How hard is it to do updates at the commercials?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Now they are not even putting the game on the bottom.

I mean, their coverage isn?t even that good. Give me suspenders dude.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Never mind, they just turned it on in the bottom corner.

Seriously, someone at WCBI has to be reading this.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I hate big time games on network television. Why does the CBS app play the local affiliate in lieu of just playing the national coverage?

[StateDawg44]

Never mind, they just turned it on in the bottom corner.

Seriously, someone at WCBI has to be reading this.

Hate it for you but this thread has me cracking up.

You?re correct on all fronts 😂

[Lord McBuckethead]

Can they not turn on closed captions for the dang game while they are talking about a Non-tornado

[Lord McBuckethead]

All serious now, their coverage isn?t bad. I just have an issue with this going on, when there are other channels doing 100% weather coverage right now, but only 1 channel showing the Final Four.

The lady in red is pretty good.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Damn. The game is 1 pt with 20 seconds left. Instead we are talking about a Non-Tornado with weak shear. WTF are we doing.

[Lord McBuckethead]

You FN kidding me.
Cut back to the game as the final buzzer goes off.

Eat crap WCBI.

Historic comeback?.. and we all missed it because they couldn?t check the shear on the storms before the pre-empted the game.

[Lord McBuckethead]

WCBI, how about the next time you have a national event showing only on your channel, that you cannot watch any other way?.. let someone else cover the weather event.

[StateDawg44]

Quality and deserving melt. 10/10

That would be infuriating and I don?t even care about basketball.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Thanks. I held it together when I missed the entire first game, but the second game really pissed me off.

Especially when they admitted that nothing was really going on with the storms after hour 5 of the coverage.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I will add this, if I had paid for a commercial to be on during the final four, I would want my money back. I cannot believe they spent the last 5 minutes of that game talking about how nothing was really going on with the storms, and then had the balls to go back to the game as the final buzzer went off.

[parabrave]

Hate to say it but now I get my weather from podcasters. They are more up to date than the local TV guys and with the availability of all the different radars I can detect a forming nadar quicker than the NWS deciding if it is a TW or not.

[tcdog70]

They had duplicate coverage on Fox channel.Stupid Shit
