Why I watch Fox 61 For my morning news?

I enjoy all the anchors and reporters. I think the reporting is fair and as unbiased as they can be. I love the balance of hard news and more lighthearted stories. I enjoy the interaction of the different duos that are set up for anchoring at different hours. I just feel that they are more human than actors or robots reading a news prompter. I just moved and do not have cable TV so I am unable to pull Fox 61 on my antenna. At first I was very upset but then learned quickly that I can watch them on my phone with the app. So that’s what I do now every morning just watch them and listen to them on my phone app while I’m getting ready for work. Maybe if we get a new president and things doesn’t cost as much I will be able to afford cable TV in the future.

Our review of your station and news teams.

Love FOX61 news teams as they relate to real life feelings. Very personable and that is good. My husband and I have watched your station for many years and watched you grow and mature with time. You are great and I can’t say enough. Good luck and keep going the way you are. Your presentations are very informative. They are also very entertaining. Again good luck to you all and congratulations on your awards you recently were recognized for!! Keep it going!!

App won’t play live

It’s been working great but all of a sudden today may 16, 2023 when you click on to watch live it doesn’t play. Not sure what’s going on. I’ve rebooted my iPhone deleted app and reinstalled it and still nothing. Please fix this issue it’s quite annoying. If it’s not gonna work anymore why have it take up room on my phone. Please fix I did love this app.

General comments

I like the reporting staff. Always informative. I will admit that I have scaled back the amount of time I spend listening to any news. Tired of the political front and definitely tired of Covid updates. I don’t need to know of every new case on CT. Yes, it is a contagious virus, just like the flu. Seems the same precautions can keep it at bay. At any rate, keep up the good work Fox 61!!!!

Cheesy

Can’t listen to the audio portion of videos while scrolling down to read the article pertaining to the video. App runs cheesy commercials before every video - and these aren’t short commercials! Definitely not a step up from the old app !

Fox 61 CT News Ap

The Fox61 news ap is very easy to use. It is easy to search, easy navigate, easy to read. The look and feel is very user friendly. The only criticism I have is the folks who post the stories need to do a better job of proofreading to catch spelling and grammatical errors (double use of a word, missing a word).

Prescription shortage

Another prescription shortage nationwide is the Mounjaro diabetes type 2 medication; I’ve been trying to get my script filled and all I keep hearing from the pharmacies is that the prescription is not available and day don’t know when it will be in

Home heating oil.

I know this is not a review. Your coverage of local news is very good. But Not one single word of the high cost of home heating oil. If this continues to rise higher in price most Connecticut residents may have to sell to a warmer state. Move to a southern climate. Why is it that there is no reporting on this burden to home owners???

I would have given you 5 stars

I enjoy Fox61 however you should distance yourselves from the other Local News Stations and start reporting the truth when it comes to Trump… He was by far the best President ever elected and your station went along with the fake news ones and refused to tell the truth.

61 you’re the best I watch your news because you’re the most formative across the state and we also report inside of my black community which is a foreign to me Latino community which supports me and the white community would support to me

Fox 61 news

Gives the most comprehensive coverage, all morning long. Can tune in anytime for a quick check in; the other stations have gabfests or mock trials. May as well put on soaps. The app is easy to use and just as good as the station. Fair coverage of local & national news.

Fix 61 News

I like the new format that Fox 61 is using. Easy to read. You can watch a video or read the material which I like. Easier to read format than before.

Was good

Forces 30 second advertisements to be watched for a 12 second video clip. Not like it use to be

Maybe it’s me...

Every time I try to watch Live TV it makes me watch the same commercials over and over again. If I switch to another channel and come back to FOX61 Ive had to watch all the same commercials again. I’ve tried this 7 times and have yet to see any live television! Like I said maybe it’s me but I find this to be the worst live TV app I’ve ever experienced.

If it ain’t broken

I like the old format better. It was easier to maneuver around. I probably have missed some news simply by not knowing how to get to it. I am out of the state and depend on Fox 61 to update me prior to my return. Some of the news teasers that come up on my Apple Air-pad don’t culminate in fruition when I open them up. I do not have this trouble with other news organizations. I hope this helps, I’ll try to muddle along the best I can. Good luck, stay well.

Update

I enjoy the news from beginning to end, and a bit more so now that Matt Scott has been absent. Too much forced laughter.

Best newscasts in CT

I’m very impressed by the staff at Fox 61. All 169 cities and towns are covered thoroughly and there is no prejudice for one county over another. The weather staff is exceptional and fairly accurate compared to other venues. Thank you for the assistance from the daily questions submitted by the people and the answers. I encourage Fox 61 to maintain their standard of excellence. Sincerely yours, Judith Rae Reynolds, New Haven

Old version was better

This app gives late notifications and now you have to watch ads before being able to watch a video...which usually starts off with commercials. The old app was way better.

Interface

Although I don’t mind reading the fox 61 app, it does appear to be a little tired and old. I think a whole new interface would spark a lot of life into it.

Provocative

Sometimes your female staff could dress very provocative such as Erica in the morning and this is supposed to be a family show. Say that for your husband Erica not for year audience.

Not loading

Was there a new update? App is not working on iPad. Have deleted it, restarted iPad, reinstalled, and still no working. It briefly opens to black background with FOX61 icon in middle and then Immediately shuts down. How do I fix this?

Unwanted alerts

So I only selected weather alerts but this app is giving me story alerts unrelated to the weather so I guess will do without as I did with WFSB that was also giving tons of unwanted alerts. Wonder if same developer?

Tiresome

Just updated to the new version, did they ever hear of the word ‘condense’ ? Takes forever to go thru pages and pages to see the news.... I agree with others, the old version was much better....

Crap site

Never updated-stale stories, extremely limited and have some nonsense called verify where they TELL you what’s accurate in the news_the assumption being they’re smarter than you. Don’t waste your time
