Re: Local weather coverage: Too much of a good thing?
Couple things we need to remember. The OKC based stations cover most of the state and are in some cases the only media coverage they have. So even though a few people here who think they are elite and some town Oklahoma doesn't matter...deal with it. People and lives in Cordell, Wakita and Sayre are just as important as OKC, Norman and Edmond.
Do they go overboard sometimes? Sure. Idealy if it is still out of state but expected to bring severe conditions to the state - they should advise with minor break ins during commercials. If there are portions of the state experiencing severe conditions, the stations have a duty to break in and advise of the situation.
This year has been a down here tornado wise, but Oklahomans should feel privledged with the coverage weather gets here. Originally from Ohio...you couldn't pay the stations to break in even for a tornado going through the main parts of town.
