It's all about the ratings!
Hey, maybe if someone's boat is on video washing down the street, or someone's beachfront home collapses....onto a burning orphanage during an earthquake sunami, then maybe they'll get that anchor position?

There's the "regular" meteorologist that just wants to state the facts and give people the news they need, and then there's the glory whores that will "volunteer" to go out in the storm to get a "first hand" experience. Only they're right outside their studio and not out in the thick of it. They are also the ones that want to glorify every last boring detail so that they won't be forgotten at raise time.

I wonder what a stations ratings would be if they were to televise someone dying during their broadcast?

Oh well, let's all cross our fingers and hope for the best!
