WSAZ Iphone Application Review

WSAZ is the local TV station  that services the Huntington and Charleston, WV area.  I must admit that I don’t watch a lot of local news on TV.  I usually only catch it when I can’t find the remote.  However  this doesn’t mean I am not interested  in local news, I just don’t have the time or desire to sit in front of the TV at the same time every night.   Unfortunately for local news I don’t think I am unique.  They could have just thrown up there hands and given up on viewers like me.  They didn’t do that though, they looked around and realized that people like me spend a lot of time on our smart phone.  They had a company create an Iphone application for them.

It is a really good application and I use it daily.  You can look at local news, sports, weather and business.  They provide videos which play through the Youtube  application.  You can share  a story by email, Facebook or Twitter   If you observe a local news story, you can upload video or pictures to WSAZ through the application.   If you click on weather you can look at the forecast, watch the radar or check for local alerts.  Under sports they have news and scores from Marshall and WVU.  They also provide scores and schedules for high schools in the area.
