You wanna bet the same morons who are calling in and complaining about their show being interrupted are the same morons who believe Covid is hoax? Damn tornader ain't real! Meh shows!

3. Conservative Louisiana Pricks

Plenty of Americans who couldn't care less about their fellow human beings. God forbid they should miss a sitcom over a major tornado system moving through the region.

a weather warning. What's wrong with these whiners?

10. This reminds me of something actually

A couple years back there was a live stream of our local storm chaser team that was doing basically a Chase around the city because there was a tornado like around the vicinity and when they were driving around with the sirens obviously going off. It was during the summer and people were just outside at dinner time just ignoring it, they didn't even care. That's a problem with the South.

Just confront/call out the selfish whiners. Talk about cancel culture.

11. In my over 30 some years in broadcast TV

Almost every time we had to break in to programming because of a weather warning (especially prime time) people called the station to complain that their program had been interrupted. These days of every idiot on the planet on social media I imagine the amount of complaining is even worse. Broadcast stations have licenses and to keep the licenses when renewal comes up they have to do things like break into programming for things like tornado warnings.

A lot of people just don't have sensible priorities.

13. I've got a legit complaint about my cable company's emergency warning.

When it's bad weather, I am already tuned in to a local news station to keep abreast of the situation. Then my cable company (Spectrum) sounds their emergency warning. It completely cuts off whatever is being watched, squawks out the annoying sound, puts up a screen stating what the warning is and then goes to a blank screen with what looks like a command prompt in the top left corner. I have to completely turn the TV off and back on again to get back to the meteorologist I was watching, missing a couple minutes in the process. In an active storm situation, this sequence happens over and over again. I don't know why they can't run a crawl with a squawk over programming or at least return me to what I was watching when it's done. Grr.
