Twisted news

They love twisting story to cause hate and division.

Disappointed

The weather hardly updates. If you’re looking at the 10 day, it’ll say the wrong forecast up until that day when even Channel 4’s TV broadcast changed the forecast days prior. So if you’re looking for up-to-date weather forecasts, this app isn’t it. Very disappointing.

Very undependablr

The app never reports the story advertised. It says one thing and when you click on it, it’s a completely different story. Very deceiving. Cmon wtae, man up and stop deceiving your readers.

Too many digital notifications Biased reporting

Digital alerts are excessive. Reporting is Op-Ed and politically leaning to support Democratic agenda. Needs to get back to basics. Just state facts and present both sides of news. In other words non-biased reporting

Slow news update

The other local news sites are faster updating. WTAE is always behind by hours.
