I think if you measure "Weather Credibility" as a factor among potential
viewers, you will see that channel 5 wins that hands down.

If that is one of the reasons people choose a newscast (and it is), it is
indeed a factor.  (...how much of a factor is up for discussion.)

Gee thanks for your wonderful insight.

I didn't realize you were such a TV "insider"...

The point being that they didn't (or couldn't) match the offer's.

It also says that they don't value their on-air people as part of their
sucess strategy.
