### 1/5 — Distracting App Header

*2026-02-19, version 504.0.0*

More than a third of of the screen is obstructed by a useless banner across the top of the screen.

### 2/5 — Doesnt Work

*2025-05-06*

Watch now doesn’t load. If you like watching the wheel of death, have at it.

### 2/5 — No Respect For Users

*2024-12-20*

How about streaming your “newscast” to app users?!

### 1/5 — Reasons I don’t watch 6 anymore

*2022-01-11, version 41.7.1*

I hate the messages scrooon screen during news. It is distracting and very little new information repeatedly on screen. I also dislike not seeing the ga game. No one gives a hoot about the soap called bachelor.  Your programming needs major overhaul. Please switch to a better network

### 5/5 — Super easy

*2021-02-01, version 40.35.570056967*

Reliable source when you need it.

### 5/5 — So happy you are back!

*2021-01-05, version 40.35.570056967*

I was furious when my tv provider, Hulu, took your station off the air. I called & complained. I missed you all, especially the new weather forcaster., Tim. I love his thorough & logical forcast. I’m not sure when you first came back, but I tried on Sunday & there you were!  I was so excited!!  It made me so happy!
Welcome back!
Betsy Uberti, Aiken, SC.

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2020-11-04, version 40.35.570056967*

I love news 6

### 5/5 — Channel 6 has been my stAtion since childhood

*2020-05-01, version 40.35.290052907*

I prefer Channel Six news and ABC programming and choose it every day (except for a few shows). I also prefer Channel 6’s news team and their programming. I am confident I can rely on them for doing great jobs all!!  I’ve been from Trooper Terry to now. That’s 61 years and counting!  Most of my favorite tv shows now are on ABC. I ALSO prefer ABC Nightly News next to Judy Woodruff’s PBS News.

### 5/5 — Jenna Kelley

*2019-12-03, version 40.34.260050020*

Fabulous reporter! I watched the Thanksgiving reporting. Informative and festive. Need to see more of Jenna Kelley.

### 3/5 — Channel 6
