News Response: The Weather Block

The fast-forward button on my remote is almost completely broken and it is WHAS' fault. Every other night I tune into the news and I watch all of it. But I am not watching much at all... Each time I watch I have to skip at least two, usually three, four minute weather blocks and a full sports block which is about eight minutes long at the end of the broadcast. When you add the three or four blocks together you get about sixteen or eighteen minutes dedicated to nothing but the temperature and sports scores. Over half of the show is spent not even attempting to get news!  I don't know if it's due to the laziness of the station or other factors, but it certainly isn't because there is a lack in news considering each and every time the other stations get a significantly greater amount of stories.
