As a media publisher who loves pageviews, controversy, and pestering politicians and celebrities on the Internet, I’m obviously all for shaming public figures who don’t
The apocalyptic severe weather event that struck Oklahoma yesterday kind of reminds me of the final season of Game of Thrones. They were both overhyped and
It looks like we’re about to have a full-blown tornadogate on our hands! Yesterday afternoon, we told you about the tornado declaration controversy that developed between KOCO
Who’s ready for another edition of “As The Doppler Turns?” Earlier this year, while I complained about Mike Morgan blocking TLO on Twitter, Emily Sutton jumped in with a strange revelation – David Payne had blocked her on Twitter: If you can get David Payne to unblock me on Twitter! — Emily Sutton (@emilyrsutton) December 28, […]

One thing I forgot to mention in yesterday’s winter weather fail post is there appears to be a drift / dry slot developing between Lord Gary England and his former apprentice turned usurper David Payne. For those who have been reading this site for a while, this shouldn’t come as a surprise. We first speculated there […]

Unless you were hospitalized with a panic attack thanks to the week-long fear mongering of our local weather media, it looks like we made it through yesterday’s severe weather event with only a few bruises, scratches and down power lines. Yes, the deadly PDS Weather Event – Copyright © 2016 Mike Morgan – that had been hyped for a week never […]

Congratulations to News 9’s David Payne! He’s the winner of TLO’s first-ever Excellence in Winter Weather Fearmongering Award. It recognizes and honors the first TV meteorologist to forecast snow or ice for the upcoming winter weather season. Payne obliterated the competition with this Facebook post from November 6th where he predicted winter weather for the week of Thanksgiving: Yep, that’s […]

The severe weather arms race is heating up. Yesterday, David Payne unveiled a new power board prototype that he will use to try to track tornadoes during Severe Weather season. At least that’s what we can assume. Here’s a video of him testing the device around the News 9 offices. Ever wanted to see David Payne […]

Poor David Payne can’t catch a break. Actually, that’s not entirely true. David is the chief meteorologist for KWTV News 9. That’s the weather equivalent of being the manager for the New York Yankees, head coach of the Dallas Cowboys or head talent scout for Night Trips. It really is a dream job. Plus, he has a stable full of meteorologists, […]

The 28th Annual Heartland Emmy Awards were held in Oklahoma City this past weekend. The prestigious event honors excellence in local TV broadcasting, which may just be the greatest oxymoron ever written. Seriously, they actually give awards to the local news media. That’s rich. This year’s categories must have included “Best Use of Fear and Alarm to […]

At the time of writing, I’m unsure as to whether or not I will have to attend work tomorrow. And if we’re open, I can guarantee that I will spend the entirety of the workday completely unproductive because I will feel that I’ve been cheated out of a snow day. And if you do have […]

David Payne’s 4th of July fireworks display was much more entertaining than yours. While you were lounging by the pool, eating hot dogs and taunting Steve Lackmeyer in Bricktown, some lady named Jody Hunt celebrated our country’s independence by burning her clothes in the bed of David Payne’s pick-up. Truck Yeah! Go America! Here are […]

So far, the biggest development of this severe storm season has been a lack of actual severe storms. I know we’re just now entering May and anything can happen, but we still haven’t had a multi-vortex mega grinder tree debarker hit a small town or Moore. That’s good and everything, but if you dropped $4,000 for […]

It’s been a few months since David Payne left Channel 4 to be Gary England’s severe weather deity in waiting at Channel 9. So far, it doesn’t appear the new gig (and larger paycheck) has changed the guy. He’s still the same casual, laid back, chatty weatherman we’ve all grown to moderately enjoy. When May gets […]

Before I get to this mailbag, I want to touch base on some things… 1. The image above is from last night’s Critics’ Choice Awards. I’ve never heard of the Critics’ Choice Awards, but apparently it’s a big deal because it’s on TV. Granted, that TV in Oklahoma City was CW Channel 34, but that […]
