Marketing Ploy

Stories seem to break late on the app and the network is markedly slow to refresh the content. Articles are interrupted with unrelated content, disrupting any flow to the coverage. Beyond breaking news, the alerts obnoxiously ring your phone moments before the nightly news, teasing you to watch. Im convinced the app is intentionally designed to play second-fiddle to and/or bolster the televised broadcast. Waste of app. Other local networks mobile apps marginally better. Unfortunate, I throughly enjoy the TV broadcast.
