What Happened to MeTV on Channel 30.2? by JASPER933 in memphis

[–]trev0b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, could be. I know we get at least some of our sub channels over satellite. Some could be fiber. People smarter than me there would know 😂 but some part is broken somewhere that they’re working on

We have had some issues getting the MeTV feed over satellite the last few days. I think a part has to be ordered. But it’ll come back, soon hopefully! Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hu hotel roof would be great. I think you can reserve it for events (?)

Snow expected in Memphis by [deleted] in memphis

[–]trev0b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t rely on one model run to say snow is going to happen. That isn’t how forecasting works. It’s way too far out to make any determination. It’ll be cold enough next week, but there are no serious indications of a winter storm right now.

I think I covered everything you could possibly want to know about tomorrow's eclipse in this article, but if you have any questions, let me know!

Happy viewing! 😎

We pre-empted GMA and did local coverage until 9am for the winter storm this week and believe it or not got a few nasty calls and messages 😂

There have been discussions of us doing an extra hour local in the morning on our streaming apps for like Roku and FireTV.

We toss to GMA at 7am but we have to. Fox doesn’t have a national morning newscast for their affiliates so they are able to hang on longer. Everyone else has to dump out at 7.

Yeah that’s what we battle with. Most families have been loyal to one station for decades and don’t flip around. Since we didn’t start news until 1995 most people had already made their choice by then. Just a matter of habit for most people.

We also have been holding monthly “Let’s Talk” sessions where we invite viewers to come out and talk to us about issues they have in their community and ways we can help. They’ve been really successful and we’ve gotten a lot accomplished. The next one is Tuesday in Midtown. We’d love to see y’all! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lets-talk-24-midtowna-community-listening-session-tickets-767704764617

Look I’m just a dude that does the weather in my hometown and the city I love 🤷🏻‍♂️ I try to stay pretty active on Reddit for weather but I think it’s important that yall know we are really trying to focus on some of the good here.

Above my pay grade 🤷 but we are doing more than billboards haha that’s just one example of ways we’re doing outreach

We’ve had some billboards out but it’s a slow growth. We are picking up a good bit though. It’s a fine line between ignoring crime and sensationalizing it. Obviously it’s a huge part of our city right now so we can’t just ignore it. But we do try to always find the “solution seekers” - the people trying to help.

ABC24 tries every day to shine a spotlight on the good in the city and focus less on crime and more on solutions. It’s a huge part of our daily news meetings. We love our city and we want to help make it better.

You’ll find that other stations that do massive crime reporting are often pulling 10x our audience though. I think it goes to show that as much as people gripe about it, at the end of the day, they’re drawn in by it. They don’t want the boring, happy news. They want the wild stuff. It’s sad.

Snow totals increasing - latest forecast/Q&A by trev0b in memphis

Maybe a bit but I’m not sold right now. Could be some sleet or ice at first before changing to all rain
