No commercials, nothing but storm coverage. My favorite TV station for coverage has over 10 meteorologists on staff. That is not just some bimbo reading the weather but a person with a degree in weather. Each TV station has their own weather radar. It is pretty amazing.

All of our stations are meteorologists staffed, and they go biiizzerk! when the threat of a tornado comes up... that F5 we had really changed the way they do their coverage now. If a T-storm gets heavy in their viewing area, which is most of the state, they go to exclusive coverage and talk on and on and on..... and the stations have super-duper weather Hummers with all manner of radar and stuff that go out in the middle of it.... and us lowly newspaper people, well, we slither around and get blown about in our cars praying we don't become news ourselves!
But I guess it's better than not having coverage at all!
