East coast storm raises TV ratings
NEW YORK — While the snowstorm churning up the East Coast annoyed millions of people kept home from work, school or travel yesterday, it was a gift from the gods for The Weather Channel.
The Associated Press
"There will be a lot of people saying you hyped it." Connellly said. "If it had happened the way we had predicted, they would be thanking us. But that's the nature of weather. It's not an exact science."
One forecast the normally sleepy cable network can count on: viewership often quadruples when the snow piles up or a hurricane bears down.
"The only thing that can possibly keep me going is adrenaline," he said. "The worst thing that can happen is if something starts to disappoint me."
The network's winter weather expert, Paul Kocin, was already starting to fret about his earlier predictions for the storm.
The Weather Channel's correspondents stood in the snow, sleet and freezing rain to report on conditions yesterday. Sleep-deprived forecasters urged viewers to be patient while the storm's full fury had yet to materialize in cities like Philadelphia and New York.
He wasn't giving up on this storm, though, and Connelly wasn't second-guessed The Weather Channel's preparation. Backed by dramatic music, the network titled its near-constant coverage, "Winter Blitz: March Lion of the Northeast."
Connelly immediately dispatched correspondent Bill Keneely to Washington, Jim Cantore to Manhattan and Mike Seidel to the Boston area.
"I find most of them frustrating," said Kocin, a former NASA weather expert who first went on the air two years ago. "The reality of all storms is they all have their intricacies."
But with the storm headed on a more northerly track, Keneely was sent racing up the highway to Hartford, Conn.
When computer models spit out predictions of megan snow last week, "it sounded like it was right out of The Perfect Storm," said Terry Connolly, senior vice president at The Weather Channel.
Kocin has barely left his office at the Atlanta-based network since Friday, occasionally catching a few hours of sleep on a couch. He usually appears twice an hour on the air.
