The Weather Channel sends reporters to middle of fierce Hurricane Ian — and some viewers call BS (video) [1]

['Carla Sinclair']

Date: 2022-09-29

The Weather Channel has their eye on the hurricane — as well as on their TV ratings — as they send reporters out to cover Hurricane Ian. Standing in the middle of a near category 5 hurricane is never a good idea — and neither is exaggerating the force of the storm for the sake of a good show, as some viewers accuse the Channel of doing (see last video).

But come rain or high water, the show must go on!
