KCCI weather department

[Gonzo]

Kelly Moody is my favorite. Just seems like a genuinely nice person, always happy and doesn't block the eastern side of the state like Jeriann.

Ouch.

 

[DeBruzzio]

Kelley, Metinka, and Eric Hanson only local TV people I can stand. Usually just get all news online now. I haven’t watched WOI in ages so maybe it is better. Refuse the John “Clowns” Sears show with Andy “Cyclone Fans Abuse Their Children” Fales.

Eric Hanson can be a jerk in public

 

[cycloner29]

Didn’t I see on FB where KCCI just hired a new meteorologist?

 

[brycy]

Ouch.

Maybe I worded that poorly. I meant Jeriann is always standing in front of the eastern side of the state. Nothing to do with her stature. She could easily move out of the way like most other weather people.

 

[FarminCy]

Fales should go back to st. Louis or move to iowa city. Sears... if I never see that guys face again it'll be too soon.

Sears has a face??

lol well WHO does focus on central iowa

 

[NWICY]

I avoid KCCI totally. There weather forecasts are worthless for rain predictions. They are also more biased against ISU.

Compared to Sears and that other guy at WHO for anti ISU bias?
I think their sports team is better, but Horst is really pro Hawk.

Well Fales was gone for awhile, unluckily they let him come back after KC(?) didn't work out.

That's one thing that irritates me on both KCCI and WHO, if you go by their weather nothing exists north of Hwy 20 and most days not outside of the Metro. At least WOI usually show a full state map with the temps in like Council Bluffs, Spencer, Sioux Falls, Mason City. There is more to the state than the Metro at least give it a quick acknowledgement.

There may be more to the state, but a lot of the state isnt really in their viewing area.

If you live in CB, you're watching Omaha news. Sioux City, Cedar Rapids, QC and the Loo have their own stations. Mason City is more in the Rochester MN market than DSM.

Yes, there's more to the state than the metro, but the DSM stations aren't depriving people of anything.

Bree Sullivan is kinda band camp hot. Not that that’s my type. But it is.

Except that a lot of people living in Central Iowa work and travel statewide, or have interests outside the metro. But considering that, I think all 3 DSM based broadcasts give the full state enough coverage on a day-to-day basis.

I would imagine that's the extreme minority on any given day. And there are plenty of other resources for those who want some more in depth focus on other areas of the state if they might be traveling.

They do. I travel around the state for work as well; I've never been unable to find the weather or been in the dark about anything happening.

It just doesn’t have a chin.

 

[trevn]

Lol at you guys complaining about ISU sports coverage in Des Moines. Move to eastern Iowa and see what bias is really like.

Can confirm, he was in KC for a while.

WOI is ABC, but Mediacom hasn’t been able to show it since late December I think. Also KCWI.
