26DEC2015 DFW Severe WX Coverage

[TXRadioJunkie]

Hats off to WBAP and Brad Barton. Thought they did an excellent job of covering the nasty tornado outbreak. Their coverage included most of their regular news team plus trained spotters in the field. Didn't listen to any other radio so I can't comment on any other coverage. Your thoughts?

I think they did well, I stuck with WBAP as well. They were still on the ball this morning.

KRLD had paid programming with cut ins from Ron Jackson. While I am a fan of Ron, while there is a tornado approaching and in the most heavily populated county in the metro, something tells me you should probably have your news team on and go wall to wall, or at least drop the paid show. The forecasters said it was going to be a rough day. Obviously 'BAP was prepared while KRLD was not.
That being said I listened to Brad Barton and thought him and the news team did a GREAT job!

Absolutely echo the sentiments here...WBAP did an outstanding job.

I wasn't able to catch any of it, but I have no doubt Brad did an outstanding job. Lucky for me I was getting weather alerts from NOAA on my iPhone. The tornado that hit I-30 was less than three miles from where I live. I am amazed there were no fatalities!

Oooops, you're right. My brain must have been somewhere else when I posted that.
