WCTV News Reviews

I used to enjoy watching WCTV but seeing articles of Police supposedly abusing someone- No I don’t think so! We are better than that! Shame on you for even covering this! These are these kinds of things that have America in this shape! Deleting App now! Ron Desantis should really teach you how to be- Florida isn’t on this petty level

Recently, the ads on the pages are appearing in the middle of paragraphs so I’m not able to read part of the story. Can we fix this please? I’m having to depend on WTXL for news since I can read through the articles on there. Any help would be great. Thanks

For a while now, the Ads show over the text, making it very hard at best, and mostly impossible to read a story. Why hasn’t this been corrected already?

They never seem to have any news updates on weekends or holidays. If I had another online source of local news, I would delete them.

There is also an embarrassing lack of editing and competence in the English language.

WCTVNews has been taken over with ads. Not to mention you can’t even open it without a 15 second video ad playing. Come on.... I get you need to make money but using WCTVNews is now an unpleasant experience.

Sitting through 30 second Panda Pop ad is an insult to the dignity of your station.

I am not always able to watch a live broadcast and would catch on news programs missed by watching Recorded Newscasts on VUit.

They are no longer available. Please fix or provide an explanation

I will be deleting WCTVNews. Every time I open WCTVNews , a game app advertisement opens first! It takes several seconds before you are able to close the ad and finally get to the news.

WCTV has become a horrible news outlet. All they do anymore is COMPLETELY mirror everything reported on CNN. Do they have any actual investigative reporters anymore? If they do, they apparently care nothing about reporting the truth!

I am trying to get local news from Knoxville TN, it keeps defaulting to someplace in Florida. Cannot find a place to change that, if it is there it is well hidden. Very annoying.

Multiple annoying ads, including one-sided political ads, open before you can get into WCTVNews .

Usually if something is not broken it’s not a good idea to fix it. I am not a fan of the updated version.

Why oh why in 2020 can’t a new station byline a website with an actual functioning search mechanism?
Drives me freakin nuts and no excuse for it.

Whoever made WCTVNews did a really bad job. I’ll only use the WTXL app. Terrible app, keeps crashing, loads weirdly, and I can get the same news elsewhere, with better spelling!

I’ve turned off sports notifications. Results of a ball game is NOT breaking news. Any who cares already knows.

Ha ha, as of today WCTVNews is giving me local news from Wisconsin 🤣

Clicking on "videos" causes app to crash every time.

The weather forecast on the Internet is always wrong.

The colors for the weather are impossible to see. I can't see the rain chances because of the blue font.

Your current update crashed WCTVNews . WCTVNews will not open

Too many ads, easy to confuse with news stories

Very irritating game ads pop up before WCTVNews opens. Hard to get rid of. About to delete!!

They advertised that you would be able to listen to the broadcast live, portraying that you could listen in your car. Well I guess you can, but with the audio come video which is not too bright of an idea if one is driving... There needs to be an option for live stream audio ONLY and I bet their attorneys would like that better as well... Besides I don't want to burn the video data vs. audio data which I assume is a lot less. If they add this it needs to continue playing if my phone locks, like a scanner app I have does... I was actually looking forward to the old 87.7 days of being able to listen to the news on the way home!!!

The newest updated version of the WCTV mobile app is broken. After updating my iPhone 6+ last night I have been totally unable to view any video links within WCTVNews . I tried to view both the weather videos as well as the news. The only thing that came up while loading was a black screen with the WCTV header at the top and at the bottom a⏸ button on the left side and ↖️↘️ on the right side.
I haven't had the first problem with my mobile app until last night. My son also has the same phone that I have and is also having the same issues.
Many Thanks for your help in this matter.

With the latest iOS 9 update for Apple, I can no longer view live video streams or view old video. It's been like this for several weeks and thought it would have been fixed by now. WCTVNews also needs a refresher look. Looks very dated and generic. But I wish the video portion would be fixed so I can view live steaming and past videos.

I Like WCTVNews but sometimes when it shows you've got a update and you go to check it out it's not there
