Thanks, Sonny.

I'm a NASCAR fan too (fell into the sport about 3 years ago, and continue to be amazed by what they do), and wanted to see the race.

Most people don't know this, but our "No Hype" policy is now being copied at tv stations from coast to coast. Our goal is to break into programming only when we feel it's absolutely necessary, and to provide a continuous stream of current warnings and information across the bottom of your screen.

You'll think this is funny: while our phones didn't "ring off the hook" here at the station, there were (of course) some people who were upset that we would 'break into their race' at all (which, of course, we have to do). But, amazingly many of the callers were upset because 'we weren't breaking in enough'! Danged if you do, danged if you don't!

We're proud of our coverage. We're committed to the safety of every mid-southerner who does us the honor of watching. And we will scrutinize every storm until the last raindrop has left the viewing area. The 'No Hype' approach really works.

Thanks for the comments.

Thanks, Fly!

We do need a radio tie-in (which we've been working on for more than a year, believe it or not). Hopefully, that will happen in our lifetime.

And your note couldn't have come at a more opportune time: I was JUST thinking about switching from Comcast to Dish Network. May need to re-think.

Thanks for writing.
