4 years ago, And it won't get any (better)

Customer

I love Erica, John, Scott, Demany, Keith, Steve, Elsa, Brittany, Tina, and all the other anchors and weather hosts. Some of whom I know their faces, but can’t pull up their names right now. That’s what being 73 years old does to your memory sometimes. I actually know them all. That’s and high regards to them all for a enjoyable morning, noontime, evening, and nighttime delivery of all they do. But what I can’t understand is why sometimes your shows pause, probably because of at&t but, I have Direct TV. And now I’m thinking of stopping my service now. He price is too high to not get the service you desire. As far as the stations problems with Dish Network, I remember when you had problems with Direct TV also. So is there something wrong with management or the people making decisions. Everyone wants reasonably priced service and AT&T and Direct charge too much for you and me to access the service. Just thought I’d put my two cents worth in. Keep doing the good work you and your staff do. Good luck with the Dish Network George A. Gaines

Where is the true news ?

I have been a long time fan of WSOC-TV news. For the last several years though, I have found myself not really trusting the news media at all. First of all,I have found that Vince Cokeley to be extremely trustworthy and he stated that when he was a news caster he could not express his true feelings. I am of the belief that all news broadcasts are slanted and extremely untruthful, yours included. I have sent several articles in to your station and as of today have had no response. Just in case you are not aware, we have already lost our beloved country to communist organizations like that bunch of Black and White liars within the Black Lives Matter bunch of people with ingrained lying warped minds.

The most reliable news channel in North Carolina

I have been watching channel 9 since I was a little girl when I moved out of town at the age of 12 I no longer had access to the 9 news channel but every time I visit that was the news channel that I would watch my grandmother Lord rest her soul she would not look at no other news then channel 9 and everybody knew do not call Miss Rosie into after 630 her first part of the news and I am the exact same way the older I get the more I see a lot of me in my grandmother that was one tough cookie right there It’s funny because if you wanted to know something and you missed the news we would say go to or call Miss channel 9 because my grandmother she knew everything that went on on Channel man NEWS Erica Bryant that’s my girl I just love her so much! If anyone ever called channel 9 fake news they telling a fake lie and the truth ain’t in it🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Review

Overall, I enjoy WSOC-TV 9. I do think Britany Johnson is melodramatic, in talking to the audience like we’re all 5 years old (irritating), and do you have to keep interrupting my news every morning with Lisa Robinson trying to sell stuff to me?? Always starting out with “Hey guys; I’ve got something I know you’re gonna love; and I think it’s the best thing ever!” Well, let her buy the stuff! I’m trying to watch the news while getting ready for work! Can she, or ‘Steals & deals’ do their own commercials like everyone else? Other than those two items; I love ❤️ the broadcast over the competition. But honestly, every time I’m enjoying the news; as soon as I here Lisa Robertson with that “hey guys, have I got something for you...”; no matter what I’m doing or where I am; I immediately stop what I’m doing, and I go switch to another channel. IJS. Thank you. 🙏🏾

App Notification vs Live

While I like instant notifications, I only watch the 11 pm with Erica Bryant and Scott Wickersham. The early morning live is too scripted with no empathy and compassion from the news people to those outside the studio, ie, weather girl slurs her words, male news person quiets his voice at the end of his sentences to understand what he says;and” I have to do playback not to mention smacking his lips. Presentation is everything. The station needs to invest in a speech coach for morning crew to improve their presence from dress attire to news presentation. Jason Stogenke is the most informative…clear, precise as though he’s right in my den. Thank you.

Improve search and limit ads

I like the news alerts but when I click on an alert to see the story I cannot find it. The alert should link directly to the story. The search feature rarely works. The ads are invasive. I have tried to use this app to no avail. Take some lessons from The New York Times. Their app is awesome

I have never in my life seen recurved such spam notifications

Even after adjusting notification settings, disabling certain alerts like sports- I still get every single one. Most mornings I’ve gotten 2 or 3 notifications before the sun is even up, usually about some meaningless drivel that is not even kind of relevant to me. I want breaking news. I do not want notifications from my trusted local station telling me that Will Smith said sorry for slapping Chris Rock. I don’t want notifications about the Panthers POSSIBLY finding a new place to practice. This is not the breaking news that we want, and it does nothing except drown out the real stories when they do occur. 18 notifications a day is not okay.

Video

I HATE the upgrade. All of a sudden a week or so ago news videos started playing automatically and won’t stop even when you close the app. If I wanted to watch or hear the video I should be able to control it myself. It’s really annoying to open the app to catch up on headlines and a video starts blaring, especially if I’m doing this in a quiet space like a doctors office or bed while my husband is asleep. So, I’m now considering deleting the app and finding a new local news source. I also could do with fewer push notifications of every, little, thing. Especially homicides.

Videos are doubled and audio plays even after app is closed

As a Charlotte native I trust WSOC-TV for my news. However, lately the app audio will start playing even when I am not in the app. I was in a meeting a work and even though my phone was on silent, the audio from a news story started playing. So embarrassing!!! This was not the first time either one night, in the middle of the night, it started playing randomly too. Also upon opening the app and phone being on silent it is also playing audio from a video that I don’t even care to see or watch. Please get this fixed! until updated, I will have to uninstall and go with WBTV

Notifications are ridiculous!

I was getting far too many notifications daily so I changed it to only breaking news and the weather but that didn’t help. For months I kept receiving all notifications. I just changed it to ONLY WEATHER notifications today and as soon as I changed it I received a breaking news notification in less than 5 minutes after updating so the notification customization doesn’t work. I can’t take it anymore so I turned off all notifications. The app barely works when you click on the notification to see the story anyway and there’s far too many advertisements.

It’s playing double audio since update

Audio n video errors need to be fixed immediately; I can’t watch it even just read because automatically the app opens with audio playing. If I try to pick something else the original audio n new audio plays at same time. Then at times the video doesn’t open with error showing but audio playing someone but another audio is playing as well. Very annoying and I literally hate opening the app now, but sometimes I want to read and update in a story and there goes that audio, geez. Please please please fix asap.

App issue

I got most of my news online via news apps. I keep having issue with you app. I’m in the middle of reading a story and the whole thing closes for no reason. When I go back in, the story is gone. Super frustrating and has definitely had an effect on using you as a news source.

Used to be better

I liked their app much better in the past. More recently I keep getting alerts for nothing alert worthy, practically “it may rain tomorrow “ type stuff, or the equivalent of “it is cold out.” In the past I only received the severe weather alerts. I check my settings, should be just severe weather. Also, when I click on the app for the “weather alert” I get a screen full of advertisements instead of seeing the alert.

Repeat too many news events!!!

WSOC-TV repeat showing the same news events from one new cast to other new cast, especially on weekends. This cause me to turn to other local news stations. Need to show more current news events each day, not repeats. After the first 10 minutes of news, the repeats normally follows.

Basically unusable.

Links to “continue reading” an article take you to subscription only pages. The ads below every single article are often very gross: earwax? graphic images of belly fat to advertise weight loss??? Come on. Stories are repeated so often, sometimes my feed has 4 articles on the same topic. Not to mention half the time my page goes completely blank while I’m in the middle of reading an article. I think I’ll get my news from somewhere else.

Excellent Coverage

Living here in South Carolina, I feel that I’m receiving the true facts concerning the Coronvarius, along with the concern for the spreading. I feel that it should be mandated that all citizens in NC and SC, work in uniformity to handle the spreading. South Carolina has opened up everything, then they travel to North Carolina. Where there is unity, there is strength and the President has no concerns.

Video hangs and then plays double audio

Since the latest update, I have resorted to shutting the app down after only about 5 minutes of use. The live video abruptly stops and when it starts again, it plays double audio or even the audio from a commercial (of which now there are WAY to many). Until this is resolved, I will no longer use the app.

I am always tuned in to WSOC-TV when it is available. I appreciate the different times of day in which they provide news giving thorough information, they are always on top of issues.

My Daily News

I am a very early riser. Up at 5:30, turn on the coffee pot, open my iPad to WSOC-TV news first thing for my Carolinas news. I can count on updates throughout the day and can check traffic and weather. Love it.

Biased Towards Democrats

WSOC-TV, along with the Charlotte Observer, are very biased towards Democrats rather than being impartial. Also, some of the News Articles remain on this site for days or weeks without being replaced by something new. Please stop sensationalizing weather events as they’re invariably made more of than they are actually. Causes people to fear, panic and rush grocery stores. Do not like the layout. It’s not appealing. I don’t use Twitter; so, I don’t want to read news from Twitter.

CHANNEL NINE - INFORMATION FOR REAL LIFE EVENTS

Channel 9 is my morning wake up call Some people have coffee but I have to be in tune with the Channel 9 crew. Absolutely the best news channel since I was a child watching it with my parents. News that keeps me informed of everything

Improvement idea

It’s a good app but we’d love to see a new tab or section we can click on for additional local news. There’s hardly anything local published but they do talk more local news on the show. You just can’t find it in the app.

WSOC-TV

I love viewing the local news broadcast when I can get to it. It has helped that the news is repeated somewhat throughout the day. I’m waiting for it to be available “on demand” - meaning it’s available any time when my schedule allows 30-60 minutes for me to catch up on the current events.

App is the worst ever

I’ve emailed them about the app not working and someone contacted me back and said they would forward my email. At first I thought it was my TV but when I tried it on a different TV/brand I realized it was the app because it did the same thing. I emailed them over and over and over again and no one would respond. They don’t care about the app not working. They just need to get rid of the app all together it is horrible!!!

Need to change

To many commercials and when you click on a story it doesn’t show the video that goes with the story. I scroll down to see video of other stories. You just have to watch all the news I guess that I don’t want to see and I assume eventually it gets to my story. So I usually have to back out and start over. Shouldn’t have to do this.

Restaurant reviews

Why is it so difficult to read the reviews. I tried for over 10 minutes to read the September reviews and finally gave up. Why does your report on N Myrtle Beach 4 day trip keep blacking out after a few seconds?

Always dependable

The WSOC app is always right there with up to date information regarding the Charlotte and surrounding areas. Plus, the 7 day weather forecasts are always spot on. Thanks Kelly Webb

Ads are ridiculous

Over the years this app has gotten worse and worse. Every video starts with an ad, which for many news stories is in very poor taste. Now they have ads that pop up every few seconds on their articles so one cannot even really read them. I finally just deleted the app and will get local news elsewhere.

Rating of WSOC

I gave WSOC Florence instead of five because sometimes it’s glitchy, and it seems as you go through a few changes before the news

Best news app !

The WSOC-TV app is the best in class for breaking news as well as local and national stories. It is my go-to for staying updated.

Opens with an ad

Unfortunately this last update makes the app open with an ad that my ad filter blocks, so the app doesn’t open for me on my home network. I’m not going to use data to use it ... so I have to go elsewhere for local news. Fix it please!

3 months ago, Want old format back

WSOC app

I hate the new format that has a video at the top of the page playing when I’m trying to read a story on the page. If I want to watch a video I will click on it. I get double play at once and it drives me crazy. You need to go back to the old format. If this continues I will fond another station to get my newa.

It’s a great gateway to read, hear, and watch the local, State and internacional news. It’s also a great tool to know the weather in live time.

Review

You write an article and only give us part of the story and end it with a statement that this is a developing story and to check v bc later for detail but that’s usually the end of it. Never hear what actually happened.
