channel 4 is the worst. with traffic and weather every 5 minutes. I say boycott all the sponsors that pay for this crap. and the idiot that gives the traffic should wear a COAT AND TIE.What is the obsession with all the weather on Toss Angeles morning news 430A to 7Am?
Never underestimate the allure of soybean, corn, other commodities and hog futures that you hear on Iowa morning news. Just kidding!
I'll assume because of budget cutbacks they've had to lay off most of their news crew and therefore, lack of variety.What is the obsession with all the weather on Toss Angeles morning news 430A to 7Am?
WoE, I can't believe you've lived here as long as you have and don't already know the answer to this. I'm wondering if this is just a trollish question. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, despite your bad attitude towards my hometown (Los Angeles).
It's simple, really: Research has shown that people listen to the news as they get ready to leave for work in the morning. Some listen to radio, but the vast majority watch the news to see how the freeway traffic and weather will affect their drive. Research also showed that these people watch for an average of 10-20 minutes, tops. So that's why they do the weather and traffic over and over and over. They are catering to the vast majority of people who turn on the TV just to get weather and traffic.
As for weatherman dress code, you must have grown up watching Dr. George Fishbeck or something. He's the only one I know who wears a coat and tie. But if you want, watch KTLA channel 5. Mark Kriski usually dresses pretty nice. Remember, TV caters to what people want. TV stations found that the audience didn't like the suit and tie look... too stodgy.
So try to work on that positive outlook... it could be worse. You could live in Dallas where the temps are over 100 degrees (for about 40 days in a row, now).
