If you saw my last post about how we watched the online weather live from KCCI during the storm Tuesday night, you know I was less than impressed their online streaming. Their actual coverage was GREAT! However, the commercials and the stopping of the stream after a few minutes was very disconcerting while hiding in your basement.

So, I emailed their weather department and gave them a link to my “critique” on this site. I got an email back promptly from John McLaughlin saying that he had been trying to get rid of those and maybe my email would help. He forwarded it to internet sales department. He just wrote me today saying that it “has been handled.” I am being optimistic and assume that means better streams and no more commercials during tornados!

I can almost assure you that this wouldn’t have had such a good outcome had it been with a Denver station.

Thanks, KCCI!
