I visit all of the local news sites daily.... WCPO, WKRC, WLWT and Fox 19 (I think that's all of them) So frequently they each carry the same stories but the one difference that actually 'irks' me and occasionally influences whether I go to the site, is WKRC with the dang pop-ups !!!

Is there a site that you avoid because of the pop-ups?

Frankly, I do not need commercial intervention.... I dislike pop ups as much as I hate those slide down infiltrators ... you know the ones where you think you are clicking on a link, only when the 'slide' happens and you are redirected to a sponsor.

Off the podium and onto something new ;-)

Do you have a pop-up blocker activated and if so most are adjustable? I agree, the pop-ups are obnoxious, not to mention annoying!

I do like one thing better about WKRC and that is their up-to-the minute- and area specific click on for weather radar. It will tell you if it is, is gonna, and if it is reaching the ground more accurately than anything but accu-standoutside! :lol:

This is the only one I trust for precipitation hitting the ground!!!

That is my only reason, normally to go there, though................

I do have a pop up blocker and thankfully it is most affective with the exception of one pop up on WKRC ! Heheee - I think it's usually a netflix add...

I do find it annoying and like with most commercial intent, frustrates me that I cannot make a choice to go where I want without a sneaky direct or thin affiliate slipping in to guide me

Pet peeve quite obviously :lol:
