Nexstar Station's Greed Puts Lives in Danger

The Youngstown area had an active tornado warning with live images of what appeared to be an active tornado on the ground.

Viewers of Nexstar’s WKBN’s streaming were greeted with a popup after about just one minute of streaming. The popup asking for viewers to create an account to continue watching the live stream.

Nexstar is wanting viewers to sign up for potentially life-saving information during an active tornado warning. WTF?!

You can even see the “This is a very dangerous situation with a tornado on the ground…” captioning behind the popup.

Shame on the station and Nexstar for not putting the safety of their viewers first.

I think the lawyers who are fighting against the Nexstar/Tegna deal, might want to take notice of this story.
