Do you enjoy listening to the Huntington Place Singers?

I prefer NBC15. They have the energy I need in the morning. That said, I don't have cable, and the 15.1 signal doesn't reach me. Starbuck puts be back to sleep. That leaves me with 27. No, I don't/won't do Rockford. I live in Wisconsin, afterall. On the way to work...WCLO.

Are you talking about Andy Gannon? That guy is a complete tool. Which would probably explain why you watch him. It's funny that you mention Madison news vs. Rockford news because my wife and I always joke that Madison is so much better. The Rockford news shows looks like they're filming out of somebody's basement. The video and audio are horrible. It's freakin' 2010, try and keep up Rockford.

How many did it take to hang that device?

I have a polish weather station out my window, a 12" white rope with a block of wood on the end. If its moving it's windy, if it's wet it's raining, if it's dry it's nice out. Haven't found a weatherperson more accurate than the Pollock.

With ATT Uverse, no Rockford TV

I agree with Indy. I also noticed (at first) Charlotte strugling to form a rapport with Rob, but she has opened up with time. She (at this point) is no match for the chemistry Rob and Susan had, but I still enjoy watching Charlotte..

Starbuck and Deleste do it for me! She is a cutie!

I agree, I also tend to gravitate to Rockford for my news. I only watch Wisconsin news when I'm at work and the ladies have it on.

As with ABnNoGma2, I have lived in the Rockford news area for quite some number of years. It was especially useful since my family lived just east of there by about 45 minutes to an hour-- weather was a great forecaster!

Yes, Andy and Aron are silly, but I tend to watch Channel 13 WREX (and get their YourCast). I used to watch Eric Sorenson and Dani Maxwell in the mornings... until Eric went to nights and back to AMs and now, I believe, Dani is on at nights. I used to love watching Michelle in the mornings, too!

The problem with watching TV for information is that the "informational" content is an illusion. The predominant phenomenon taking place is that the viewer is just sitting there while staring at a flickering light. Such activity is mind-numbing.

"Listening" to TV while doing other things may be rationalized as an improvement on staring at the flicker light, however, "informational" retention of such listening only ranges from meaningless to a degree insignificantly higher than meaningless.

{Sorry for the mistype errors,my baaaad.}

NBC 15 news. More coverage of our direct scene is on that chanel. School delays are well versed there early enough for reaction time by parents. They argue. They dip and drive on eachother-(news team). They play with the real consciouness of human nature. Oh yeah they report the new and weather too. And a live trafic report daily.
They are fun and vibrant and alive. Not dull and undepressant. Not monotoned, or zombie-like. (My Gaud have you seen chnl 17 morning news!?! Watch this if your turning over and going back to sleep.)
also www.nbc15news.com is a great site/ 6AM online live news if you had an early start at work. They live broadcast.
Reality, in personal views, humor, and they have online blogging during the braodcast they keep up to date with. A very interactive, and well informed station. Give er a whirl sometime.

I watch the news at 5, 6 and 10 p.m. only because hubby does. He likes Channel 15 out of Madison. I cannot stand the meteorologist, David George. I don't know why, his voice just grates on my nerves and he goes on and on and on and never stops!!! I usually get my news right online, the gazette and yahoo. JMO

I agree with Gazettefan and Okiefed

I get up at 6:00 a.m. and listen to WCLO radio for at least one hour. I get great local, regional and national coverage as well as excellent weather and sports. The 10 minute CBS World News at 7:00 a.m. is outstanding.

Steve, I agree with your comment about Rob and Susan from Channel 3. Charlotte and Rob don't have the chemistry that once was. I used to live in Illinois and watch Aaron and Andy too. They are funny.

you can still watch the news on tv?? nice.

Madison

WARNING

The Surgeon General has determined that watching TV in the morning is deleterious to your health.

I wish I could watch Aaron and Andy again, but with Direct TV the local stations are Madison. I live on the stateline and grew up with Rockford news/weather and always watched Channel 23, in fact for about 40 years. I found their weather reports to be right on for the stateline (literally the stateline) and they would cover things like Edwards Apple Orchard. One year they ran a "best breakfast" restaurant and it was awarded to a little cafe in Clinton, Wisconsin! So I think they do a pretty good job of covering the area. While if we need legislative news, etc., it makes sense to watch a Madison station at night! But, like you Steve, I used to get a real kick out of Aaron and Andy!

I guess you don't have Dish Network.

I watch News 3 in the Morning. They cover southern Wisconsin better than any other Rockford or Madison station. I disagree with your comment about Rob and Charlotte (Susan's replacement). They have a great synergy between them.
