Review

Two times in my life I have moved miles and miles away from my home and from you guys at WXIII. I could never watch the news and weather living in a different state. You guys were home to me. I felt comfortable watching you. To me you were much more than just news and weather.

Worst News Site

If you don’t click on the notification banner to see breaking news, no way to find it on site. Also, with daily weather, if the description is 2 lines long, you can’t see rain chance percentage. Just lazy because it should be a super quick fix. But no, you have to go to a different news site to get that. Just not a good site on mobile phone.
