1. KTVK does this kind of stuff all the time...and very sucessfully. KTVK ain't your typical station.
2. The ND told the staff this is to get the viewers involved...but that management will make the final call. Dah!
3. Unlike KTLA--the word is they're only bringing in real weather people with TV experience. In fact the one this weekend has top 20 market experience and is a Penn State met grad according to their website. No slouch there.

If this goes over well with management it will happen at every station in the country. Get ready to have your job outsourced to a theater group.
