That if you watch News 25 Weekend that you're getting your weather, recorded by someone in Indiana... but tonight, there is a sub. And his nickname was "Buck." Insert eye roll here.
For those of you who don't know... when Jenny Li joined me in the corporate world several months ago, WEEK decided to move Jeff Muniz over one seat and not replace Jenny. The regular weekend weather guy is now Jason Meyers whose primary job is for WPTA in Fort Wayne.
And no offense to Buck who did well enough, but this whole concept irks me. There are times we have severe weather in this area... there should be someone local looking out for us. Just a viewer talkin...
I noticed at the end Jeff warning us about the dense fog tonight... thanks buddy! I'm sure Buck had no idea.

Ok, I just read this story. I didn't realize that you had blogged on this. This is the part that really gets to me. Granite will continue to keep sinking lower and lower - everywhere they can get by with it. I tried to convince my grandfather, who's a die-hard WEEK fan, that their WX now comes from Ft. Wayne and he didn't believe me at first!
It's such a pity that a #1 station in a market this size can get buy with doing something like this. Only a Granite-managed station would do this. They have became the most pathetic station owner in existence. Hopefully they'll go under and be bought out by better owners before they have a chance to ruin things even more.
Even the Quincy area has 2 stations that are fully based in Quincy. Why doesn't Peoria, which is in a much bigger market? I wish the FCC would crack down on Granite or something.
