1. 5/5News 4 is an example of how a news channel should work.

   The News 4 investigative team is second to none. They look out for the communities they represent - don’t we all wish the politicians in Washington did the same! News 4 features are thoroughly researched and are reported appropriately. They don’t have empty-headed females trading on sex appeal to drive the ratings up. They dress and act like professionals. The weather team headed by Lisa Spencer are prepared and react swiftly to changing conditions. They know their subject matter well, and it shows. We don’t get News 4 live since we stopped our outrageously expensive cable package, so we rely on the News 4 app., but its not the same!

2. 3/5Hate quick cast!

   Channel 4 used to be the best local weather source in the area, but not anymore! I used the app several times a day and mainly for the current weather videos. Now they have taken that part away. Now it's called a quick cast. You only get current weather. I can stand outside and figure that out! I want to know what it's doing tonight, tomorrow, 2 days from now! Channel 4 had every other channel beat with their video weather forecast. Now it's no better than the other local news apps. Really no reason to keep it now? The other part of news, I can get at any other local app as well, so 3 stars, down from 5 as of last week!

3. 1/5Vaccination Concerns

   I’ve just been highly disappointed in how you’ve been seemingly taking a one sided view of the vaccine controversy, unless you see the affects caused on s child DUE TO VACCINES as advised by their Board Certified Pediatrician, you are reporting only on those whose opinions are based on have never having gone through it. Take this subject Matter and cover all angles and represent the stories from all points of experience and statistics, not just from those receiving billions of kickbacks from big pharma, or other Pro-Vaccine organizations. We the people have a right of choice, whether religious or by medical necessity to hold off or choose exemptions from vaccines! There is more scientific data that shows certain vaccines and the dangers of any said vaccines, (so we the people should have a choice to decide whether we want to take that risk with our children/grandchildren or ourselves rather than have the government mandate! However even the scientific data of dangers of vaccines and links to Autism, other ailments and even death has and is now being covered up by the government! It’s so sad that a human life is not worth more to government officials, unless it’s their own, and that lining their pockets with money from big pharmaceutical companies is more important! I’m not a crazy person, I’m a grandmother who has seen her grandchild suffer the effects from vaccines, and whose board certified pediatrician said no more, until the root cause of why the vaccines caused what they have. We have spent thousands ruling out every thing else, and it always goes back to the early vaccines!!!!

4. 2/5Love it-sort of

   This is the only way I can get the news and wsmv 4 is the only network I really like. They are using Farmers insurance commercials-the most—ok8 get advertising but...instead of the 30 or so seconds of silence and we'll be right back message, also the app "times out" right in the middle of an important story and then I have to wait for it to replay.... Not a fan of that glitch- can you all please fix it so that live truly means live, Or a replay of the live version is the same? Two versions ago it really worked well on the iPhone 5s and 6plus-now,we have glitches...... also there have been times when I couldn’t get anything to play at all from the site- it’s getting very frustrating! Please find the problems and fix them...Thanks for asking!

5. 1/5Out with the old and in with the new

   Looks like WSMV is about done with their house cleaning. All the “old faces” are gone and replaced with “new” ones. I tried t look the other way when Dennis Ferrier, Nancy Van Camp and Jennifer Johnson we let go. Then came Demetria, Rudy and Snowbird. Now the last 3 or 4 leftovers are gone. Shame on you management. You just thought 2nd place was bad. Looks like you’re heading down to 3rd place now. Your ratings continue to drop. Your treatment over the tried and true staff was pitiful. I for one can’t look the other way any longer. I’ll be one of those turning to another channel for my news. Hopefully upper management will finally come to the realization is that it’s their fault that the ratings are falling and not the on-air staff. I hope they all win in their actions vs your company.
