Excessive Weather Alerts
We dont know why TV news stations everywhere have lost their minds over special weather technology, but we do know how especially irritating it is for that BEEP-BEEP-BEEP sound to blare in the middle of a favorite show, just to let us know a storms on the way not to mention the times shows are pre-empted altogether, leaving viewers furious. Absurd depths were reached during the now-infamous Tornados in Hickory! debacle, in which endless, mind-numbing blather and snazzoid graphics ruined an afternoons viewing for millions. Get a grip, guys, and give us the info without being so thoughtlessly intrusive.
