Raleigh has been "Heidi"-fied!!!

Horrible football programing decision! We were in a hotel and watched as exhausted, frazzled and fed-up people with crying children came streaming in here from Ocracoke, Kill Devil Hills and Wilmington. We just got our electricity back and our limited (hotel) cable back. EVERYONE was looking forward to the game. We were promised the game as late as 4:00 on the commercials....then POOF! Decision made.

Our HI-Def cable and flat screens were back at our HOMES where Irene was ringin' the doorbell. NOT at the hotel.

Oh, and that stupid excuse for doing it: "people's loved ones" out there....if our loved ones were missing or unaccounted for we wouldn't be watching ANY television. How dare you.

We counted nine channels, not including CNN and the Weather Channel broadcasting the weather. You are deluded if you think people were watching your weather people chit-chatting over CNN and Weather Channel.

You forgot all about the LOCAL viewers.

I know traching the storm was/is important but Continuous coverage was a little too much. No local or state news if it did not include Irene. How many times do the local stations have to show the same story over and over with their reporters standing in the rain and wind. Sometime there was little of either. Reporters driving around with little rain. Anyone who lost power did not to hear and could not hear it from the media or Bev. When mine went out I knew it without anyone telling me. At some point I would like to have seen the local news and scheduled shows.

I was worried that Irene would screw up our satellite signal.. Recorded the game anyway, and was happy to see we didn't have any problems here. Then I go to watch it and see minimalist, desperate, shoddy post-Irene coverage? The storm was long gone in the coverage area. And THEN they say there's no way for me to watch it? SO disappointed..

All that want to complain, go to the bottom of this page and click on "contact us" then click on "general manager" and send a complaint straight to the person responsible for this sad choice.

You know, ALL the stations complained and covered that there may not be a football season and now that there is one they cancel coverage of it for a storm that had little impact on the triangle?? Why do all the stations insist on broadcasting doom and gloom? There are stations down east that could have covered the storm news. WRAL did NOT need to do this. I for one am done with this station. There are others out there that I can and will watch.

Not a one single positive comment on here what does that you WRAL?

The fact that you are still talking about the storm that has already past us is so messed up. The people want a football game.PUT IT ON !!!!!! Stop already you ******. Or at least make sure that people with satellite can watch it too.

Yowza! The Lions are kicking tail! Who knew?

Why not put the coverage of the hurricane on WRAL2 so that we could watch the game in HD? We've had wall-to-wall coverage of this storm all week on national networks; we don't need local yocals trying to capitalize on the sensationalized coverage of the storm. Enough already.

Wow!..really?....the storm was pffffft!...oh yeah an its gone!!!!....prempt football for a nothing storm that didnt even blow over reporters standing on the beach...horrible!!...Im a big fan of WRAL an Greg Fishel....but you guys blew it big time here..Im ex military from New England an dont get much Patriots football in my home,an when I finaly get a game.preseason or not,an you have 3 hours of nothing coverage on a nothing storm, thats past us, bad choice WRAL...You could have said all thats to be said in a half hour..with updates at 11 or on the morning news Maybe you could make it up..Since Raleigh saw fit to shaft the "lowly" roofer after the tornadoes an only allow"general contractors/half from out of state" to work...maybe you could find me some work with all this "blown shingle" coverage your showing Pretty sad when a nothing storm is getting more coverage than the tornadoes that displaced hundreds,an now we cant even enjoy the fact that it WAS a NOTHING storm to watch FOOTB
