I have a 40" tv.  why do i have to watch my shows on 75% of that.  Have you ever heard of a message strip at the bottom of the screen for PERIODIC T-STORM WARNINGS?

THANK YOU! Because of your severe weather alerts on Sunday my husband and I knew the exact time to move to the basement. The tornado came through our property destroying our 10 acres including our pine plantation and severely damaging property and buildings. Your warning was the only ones we had because we live too far from Plover to hear the sirens. Thanks to Channel 7 we were safe.

The weather staff does a good job but Channel 7 signal is so weak that you lose their programing during the lightest of weather let alone a sever weather situation. Your better off with the radio or another channel.

I think Angie, viewer, and anonymous must be Ch 7 insiders. Seriously, it is a little bit annoying not to be able to see the HD shows on the full screen. 9 & 12 have somehow figured out how to do it. Get with the times 7!

I'd rather have something showing every 5 minutes than no warning of severe weather approaching at all. Ch 7....you do a fabulous job of keeping people informed. Thank you very much...keep doing what you do...I appreciate it!

I think that the big frame around your t.v. is a very good idea because their is elderly people that might not see the little strip on the bottom and if their is a frame around it it gets their attention!!!!!!!!!!!! so stop your complaining thank-you

It is very annoying to have a huge bright frame around the program i am watching to alert me for the entire program for a county other than my own -in fact i think a periodic alert is all that is necessary -much less disruptive-
