My name is Timothy Barber, I live in Wellington Florida. My SSDI payments have been suspended because of identity theft. I have gone to the SSA office 2 times in person since April 3 rd written twice and called several times. Subsequently because my SSDI payments are suspended I can't pay my bills. I live with my brother and his dog. I presented the evidence to SSA, which clearly shows I'm a victim of I'd theft. My brother and I are facing eviction , are rent has gone up 150-175 dollars a year in the past 4 years I have lived at this apartment.When I go to SSA the only thing that they can tell me is my status is under review. I was hoping one of your reporters could contact why it's taking so long to make a determination on something so obvious. A company in Massachusetts (Cherokee investments) claimed I made 119,000 dollars with their corporation. Subsequently my SSDI payments have been suspended. My brother and I have to vacate our house by September 1st. I have had a part time job at Lowe's for about 4-5 years my brother works approximately 50 hours a week and we are still struggling. With the suspension of my SSDI payments we have gone under I have several health issues and use to work 22-25 hours a week, since April I have pushed it up to 30 hours a week. It is extremely painful and stressful to stay on my feet that long. Please help me if you are able. I understand that this is a federal matter, but I will be eternally grateful If you can. Since April I have missed out on approximately 10-12 thousand dollars worth of money. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Timothy Paul Barber Jr. 561-597-718. timothybarber85@redacted Best way to contact me is through text message, I rarely answer my phone unless you are in my call log. Thank you again and have a great day.
I watched your story on the Rainbow Snake tonight. Before you ask the population to tramp thru the woods looking for a snake, you might want to tell us if it’s poisonous.
How come channel 5 does not report on the state of Florida's failure to complete state road 7 extension north to Northlake Blvd. The State of Florida said when they opened state road 7 north of Okeechobee Blvd that they would widen and extend state road 7 by 2022, with 10's of thousands of County residents living in the Acreage and Loxahatchee areas that fix is needed as soon as possible with Thousands of new residents expected with 3 or more new Developments the County has approved!

This app purports to have an "over-the-air" feature where you can access broadcast content in real time. That's also what was said in the promo which aired many times on the lead up to Hurricane Irma. Part of the pitch was that if you download the app you can watch on a personal device even after the power goes out.
On opening it you are, in fact, presented with a YouTube-style video interface which says something like "WATCH LIVE." This is complete bunk! When the video finally loaded what we saw was from four hours earlier (per WPTV's own time display at the screen's bottom right). What's more there was no slider to advance or rewind the video.
I tried it again this morning when there were no threatening conditions and much less demand, one would think. Same results, except now the delay was over twelve hours! Full disclosure - No other station has anything better to offer.
What really burns me is how all these stations represent themselves as the most up-to-date, tech savvy operation in the market, when in fact even the engineers and IT guys are every bit as amateurish as the beginner reporters they foist on us.
Do not waste your time! Especially when it really counts. Like in the teeth of a bad storm.

Today it's extremely Republican... it has become just one political article after another disguised as "news". Even the simplest of things is phrased as partisan, with frequent articles praising surveillance and law enforcement -- to the point that we should treat convicted criminals who worked in law enforcement differently. Soooo many articles about combating homelessness (by driving them out), and non-citizen employment (by promoting harsh laws and penalties along with jails and employer penalties).
You can keep your fascism, it's disgusting. I'm sad that the party I once considered legitimate has been corrupted to these hate-preaching fearmongering extremists.

Aside from some valuable emergency news every once in a while, the app is riddled with click-bait links (Outbrain et al) that take over 50 “next page” clicks to get to the headline of interest. This is not news and delegitimizes WPTV5 as a news outlet. Also some of the pop-up notifications do not link you directly to the news you want and drop you in the main page for you to find the news of interest. Clean it up guys. It is good to have local news but not like this. Deleting the app.
