TV Storm Review
Thank you for running the weather alerts at the bottom of your screen. However, the Warning on the screen as well as a woman speaking telling viewers to beware of storms on the way. We thank you for the warnings.
However, we have tried to watch programs on channel 5 every evening since. The first warning and the red banner with weather info still runs across the screen. We believe the warning that it still running over & over was to worn viewers of the tornadoes that ravaged our county & cities last Saturday night. PLEASE TAKE THE NOTICE OFF THAT CONTINUES TO ROLL OVER @ OVER with the same information. For us, seeing it constantly is like “pouring salt on a wound”. Maybe you could run information to viewers whose homes and lives are in multiple pieces -many people need help picking up the damage.
Thank you, Marinell Adair from Bentonville.

Weather
Over all the channels that I watch, I find channel 5 news to be the most accurate when it comes to the temperatures, and when storms and other weather, events are happening that’s why I stay with channel 5 news and weather. If we could have just a little bit more info on the river valley versus northwest Arkansas, so they would be equal in amount of time spent would be good.

My Favorite
Channel 5 News has been my favorite from the 60’s until now; while I lived in several surrounding towns. Then I moved to Fort Smith, and it’s still my favorite; even after you moved to NW Arkansas.

Could do even more up to date coverage but it is the best I have found in the area
It seems most stories are at least a day old and most even older than that. Would like more “breaking news” stories.
Number 1 news and weather
I’ve been here twenty years now and coming from Southern California this weather was crazy to me and I was a mess and totally stressed out in tornado season but now twenty years later I’ve learned so much about the weather that everyone would call me when tornadoes are in the area to check to see if I thought we were going to be ok, especially when we lose power! I’m not a mess anymore or totally stressed out I’m 5news and weather’s number 1 fan and would watch nothing else when it comes to the news and weather!!! Thank you to everyone at 5news for my storm lessons every night and up to date news you all are awesome !!! I’m still trying to figure out the hail and how to tell when we need to worry about that but will still and always watch 5news and weather 👍🏼the best NEWS AND WEATHER for 5 country and news where you live!!!!!!!

Channel 5 News a 5 Weather
I have to say I miss Garrett, BUT….. Matt is very excitable and Zac is as well. The morning news is very different, at first it was hilarious and then it became very obnoxious, and now it’s to be a little more tolerable. I miss Tyler and I wish him well. But I believe he had to leave because he couldn’t stand trying to do a serious job as a joke. Best wishes Tyler we understand. The hardest part I believe about the news and weather. Is my husband gets up at 4:15 am to go to work each morning. He works out in the weather for 10 hours a day. He keeps complaining that it would be nice to know the weather he will have to deal with before he leaves in the morning. But I guess that’s okay now cause we just turn to channel 40/29 to see the weather. So sorry Zac, I know you do a great job. I do watch you after my husband gets his weather from them and he leaves for work. Garrett use to do it right, I know you would also Zac, it’s not your fault.

Fake news
Fight the complacency of go along to get along, your parent news organization has already been flagged as a fake news organization the majority of the country try already know it. DON’T just report the news because your parent news organization reported it that way, push back against their fake news or else lose your credibility also, and the trust of the great people of Arkansas. We are watching and researching what you say and do.
Be warned! Respectfully Jack, an early morning viewer.

Watched it all my life.
I’m have been watching channel 5 for 60 years or more. I know I watched it when I was a kid and Pat Porta was on. It’s my go to channel.
Terribly timed ads, annoying notifications
The ads on this app are horrendous. There will be a tornado warning for my location and I’ll swipe on it to see live coverage, and there will be an unskippable, lengthy ad for Toyota or CRAAAIN HYUNDAI. Ads are great but they could be halted during times of peril. And I get so many notifications, unimportant ones like for sports, often at odd hours despite having my notifications on for weather only.
