TheMightyGringoChannel 0 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 For those of you living in and around Kansas City, I found a rather humorous, and venom filled website directed at K.C.'s bastion of tabloid journalism; KCTV. More specifically their Chief Meteorologist, Katie Horner. I guess some guy out in Olathe has started a website called FireKatie.com. This in response to the wall-to-wall severe weather coverage provided by KCTV's chief met Katie Horner on the night of February 28th. After digging a little deeper into the website, it looks like this guy has around 900+ signatures. I'm wondering whats the feeling of those down in the K.C. market about this? And more importantly what's KCTV's reaction been to this website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtraveler01 737 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I go to school in Kirksville, MO and I often watch KCTV5. It definately is a tabloid news station. I understand what viewers in KC are talking about. One day there were some severe storms moving through and KCTV5 went into non-stop severe weather coverage from around 8:30 all the way to 10:30. KSHB was the same way. I am not sure about KMBC or WDAF because I don't get those station up here. I live near St. Louis and the only time stations go into non-stop severe weather coverage if there is a tornado warning near St. Louis. I think it is quite funny that there is a petition to fire Katie because I always see complaints in the newspaper about her. I don't think KCTV will take the petition seriously though.

NAN 0 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Not to defend Katie or KCTV, but I thought I read that during one of the latest rounds of severe weather that they were #1 with coverage when some stations were sticking with network.
