Website Developer Insulates TV Stations

Ever want to quickly reach a TV station to compliment or complain? It’s getting harder than ever to do that.
Despite operating in the public interest is a requirement by the FCC. However, they don’t want to hear from you. Telephone numbers have disappeared from cell phone apps and there is no longer a quick way to report a happening.
Today, Thursday August 6th, ABC27’s noon news program was one of the best aired by this Harrisburg, PA station.
The on-air team of adults presented a tight newscast with excellent control room performance.
The news stories read by Dennis Owens were augmented by his own field work along with that if Barbara Barr, both experienced reporters. Dan Tomaso’s weather discussion was friendly and included critical detail both local and national.
WHTM will never see this comment as they have apparently closed the door to public comment.

Deleted- due to fascism

I deleted this app and everything related to ABC 27 news, ABC, Disney, Hulu and Nexstar for participating in state sanction censorship.
One cannot trust a news source that does not stand for the first amendment and constitutional rights and instead upholds authoritarian fascist rule.

Doesn’t work after recent update

After the most recent update, watch live doesn’t work. Can only read trending topics (no video). Only video that plays is the weather.

Very poorly written articles

It's unbelievable that the articles published on this site are written by journalism professionals. The articles are extremely poorly written. The “sports” department is a complete joke. Don’t waste your time with these clowns.

Large font

The app provides a lot of great news. However, when I open up a story on my iPad or my iPhone the font is very large and often I cannot read the story. The font change icon just makes it worse. In the App Store they give you a link for app support, which just goes to the ABC27 website, which has no link for app support - poor support! No app support! ABC27 has dropped the ball on support.
