How will Steve Cooper at Channel 7 respond? Can Channel 4 and 5 get back in the battle? Tune in tonight.
Leave it to @MattNBCBoston .. another revolution, how we measure snow around here will never be the same. High tech and most fashionable from here on in. I believe there is also nice hat to go with fancy snowstick pic.twitter.com/QjzH8aXPZU

Isn't Channel 10 in
Providence?
Over the air ...
But NBC in Boston is 20 on cable (and variations of 8, 15 and 60 via antenna).
Didn't you mean '10' on cable?
After all, that was the message they shoved down our throats at North and South Stations (both commuter rail and subway) for the three months before they started broadcasting - and was left in place for another three months until the MBTA's ad contractor got off their butt and resold the space to somebody else.
obviously

"The snow is fifteen slices deep right now."
Howdy...
So...is that a "snowstick" in your pocket or are you just glad to see any ratings at all...
Matt Noyes Annoys
No beef with Tim Kelley and I used to like Matt Noyes, but he's become the number one Weather Pornographer in town. He can shove that stick up his ass and get the fuck out of here. It's the fucking weather. If it takes up more than 3 minutes of your newscast it better be apocalyptic.
Tim Kelly is a loon though, right?
Thought he was one of those weather guys who have decided they know more about the climate than climatologists.
Well, the idiotic practice of a TV station branding everything
that may appear on-camera has officially sunk to a new low. What's next, the official "NBC 10 - furnished by Home Depot" snowstick.
And are they really stupid enough to think that people watching TV news coverage either don't know or have forgotten what station they are tuned into. Wonder what overpaid marketing consultant thought this cheesy gimmick up?
