(N&R)
Wall to wall storm coverage yesterday afternoon as the City of Greensboro nearly flooded with a record amount of rainfall.
Local TV did a fairly good job of covering the storms during the event itself. I thought FOX-8 and News 14 Carolina had pretty good coverage.
Local radio...noooope!
After leaving work early last night to rush home to ensure everything was AOK at the Huey ranch, I was disappointed that there was nothing on local radio, and driving conditions between Winston-Salem and Greensboro on I-40 were terrible at 8pm last night. Nothing on WSJS nor WZTK. WMFR? Nope. College stations...WNAA? No. WSNC? No. WUNC? No. WFDD? No.
Discovery? You bet...the Triad has NO local news radio station at all. Pathetic, in a time like last night. Even more pathetic is when WSJS is running promos on its station touting that they stay on the air during weather emergencies.
Something to think about...perhaps an opportunity can be created here.
E.C. :)

There's a discussion going on at NEWSBLUES about this "WeatherRATE" service that WFMY is using to clain the most accurate Weather Forecast. It's behind the pay wall; but the implication is that Money Talks More Than Forecast Accuracy.
