When it's a wide spread event though they all tend to focus on the largest system, not a state or area within said state. They provide a great resource, but not the same as the local broadcast.
Dan Winters leaving WHO

In the long term, possibly yes. I will say there is a dramatic difference between those last two corporate owners you mentioned.
granted there are also times local broadcasts do this as well but it will at least be more localized, where as the Max Velocity or Ryan Hall types if there are multiple states with storms that day will follow the biggest current one while mentioning the others, Compared to a local channel bouncing back and forth between storms within the state.
I feel like it won't be long and KCCI will take over ABC's news broadcasts much like WHO took over for Fox.
That is a completely different arrangement that is more driven by the ownership of the individual station and not the affiliate.
Can't say these conglomerates give me much regret over hitting the eject button. Sad, accelerating, trends.
REPORT: Allen Media reverses course on plan to fire KWWL meteorologists, replace with Weather Channel coverage
An Allen Media Broadcasting official confirmed the move to release all local meteorologists in favor of coverage from the studios of The Weather Channel has been scrapped.
Just a report, but if true shows that public outrage can still work, much like the first time everyone got fired from KXNO. Hopefully Allen Media doesn’t screw this up like iHeart did, but little confidence in that happening

much like kxno, the writing is probably on the wall for the long term
Yeah, this is sort of a "win" in the immediate term, in that it gives everyone time to find a plan.
But in reality, Allen just made the mistake of doing it all at once, rather than slowly winding it down via attrition so that people don't really notice until it's gone, which is probably what will happen now.

I feel like I shouldn't search the name Max Velocity on a work computer.
Just saw where Friday was Bree Sullivans last day as morning meteorologist for WOI. Didn’t she just start with them in November? Channel 5 seems to be a train wreck.
Doesn't surprise me another one is getting out. Bad hours and I'm sure with being what 3rd on the totem pole at WHO sports dept. it's for not nearly enough pay. Can't blame him for wanting something different.
Seemed Mark covered a lot of ISU things. Seemed a lot more likeable than chinless Jon Sears.
I can confirm Mark is a very nice guy. Worked hard too. I'm glad he's moving on on his own terms.
Sears is a Dowling and Iowa grad. I think that covers his bias.
