WFAA - News from North Texas

I mainly use the app for weather information during major weather events. The WFAA weather team is top notch. The app is annoying because to watch any video requires me to watch an ad first. I understand that that is common practice and it’s how the app stays free. But it’s a pain when you’re using the app in a weather emergency and need the information urgently. I need the info ASAP, can you pls hold off on the ad for a few minutes while I determine if my life is in danger!? I’m sure they could update it so that certain videos run ads AFTER you watch for a while. I’ve used it during tornados heading to my neighborhood only to have to wait 15 seconds to watch an irrelevant AC repair ad! Plus, if you are watching (therefore have already watched an ad) but then read a different article and come back to watch again, it makes you watch the same stupid ad again!

I moved here from Indianapolis in 2012. I fell in love with WFAA NEWS and have never switched to another channel for news. I find that WFAA NEWS is accurate, on point, informative as well as timely reporting. If there is anything negative to say about the employees who report the news it would be…that a couple of young ladies wear clothes that are too small or too tight/snug and that they need to learn how to or not cross their legs when sitting or interviewing. If the dress that she is wearing is too short or snug/small they know it when they put it on and before they come on the air. Crossing their legs is distracting and could bring unwanted attention….. Clothes that are fashionable is not for everyone. In many cases you are able to literally see up their dress which I find distracting, distasteful and offensive as a viewer. Otherwise, I love WFAA and the staff that report the news. Thank you for the opportunity to share. 🕊️

Maria Sevedra, Jessie Huwela, Kyle Roberts and all the behind-the-scenes studio folks did a masterful job of providing vital information during the non-stop unscripted on-air coverage of the weather events Sunday evening. The studio staff, along with numerous WFAA reporters and photo-journalists out at the various scenes of damage, did an excellent, compassionate job of keeping the public informed and safe. I was particularly impressed with the way the reporters always asked those being interviewed on scene if they were OK, and always expressed sincere concern for the losses people may have experienced. There is a different “feel” to the reporting at WFAA and ABC — it’s why the station has been my “go to” for news and weather coverage since I moved to North Texas in 1971. Kudos!
