Could be better

I have a national news app, need to be able to shut off national news notifications and still keep local & state. Put banner advertising across the top and allow instant access to home screen. Alerts are useless if you have to wait on programming or video.

WSIL-TV app

In my honest opinion, I’d rather WSIL go back to their own app. I don’t care at all for this one.

Verbose and Tedious

To much "filler" of non- news.
Don't like the clutter!

All video no text

It appears the app no longer has news topics that can be read, now just all video.
