scranton 23 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Could they sound any more gimmicky? I mean, I get the fact that they call their weather segment "First Alert Weather," but to declare days after yourselves? I must be getting old and crotchety, but this just seems stupid. Argue.

24994J 5589 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Knock on wood, WLS hasn't make any such declarations in the year or so of using the 'First Alert' branding, and Lord knows there have been plenty of opportunities to do so. Maybe we'll be spared. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14252-first-alert-weather-days/#findComment-124481 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 2480 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 WKYT in Lexington does it a lot when there's severe weather that's forecast for a particular day.

LexTVandRadio 418 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Yeah... WKYT does it ALL day. They even change the color of the radar sweep from white to red. Main graphic they use too here.

SF1964 63 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Today, March 20, was another First Alert Weather Day. They even started the morning newscasts with BREAKING NEWS, for a 1-3 inch predicted snowfall, lol.

scranton 23 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 I miss EarthWatch ... just saying. Me too, Matt. I miss everything but Bolaris. Sheena keeps me at First Alert whenever she's on the air, and Bowtie isn't bad either.
