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.
Message:
This station does do this type of thing all the time and seems to work for them. Usually it seems the weekend weather person also does the news reading with Frank Camacho.
They are also having another new contest now to include the viewers on. This is to win a date that was started with the GMAZ show.
