Unfortunately most people subscribe to short attention span theater. I know this personally by editing hurricanecity you have to keep changing & adding new things to keep peoples attention. Been to a pro ball game recently? Never a dull moment. Pro basketball games they are shooting things into the stands, dancing cheerleaders,giveaways ,music playing loud between every time out etc;. The weather business has become the same way where there has to be something interesting all the time. As hurricane fans we all want info all the time, meanwhile most people in this country dont give a crap about a trough or an upper level low or models. They want fast & to the point but god forbid you bore them they go somewhere else. They have brought in hyper people at TWC to keep the ball bouncing & that is just the way it is a ratings game. If they did weather the way we all like it, the channel would have a fraction of the visitors.
