I was getting my car serviced somewhere yesterday and WBOC was on in the waiting room. At 5pm Delmarvalife came on and was a repeat. But they didn't tell you that at the beginning. Inside this repeat was a weather report from Dan Satterfield talking about Hurricane Arthur. No it wasn't a recap, it was the actual weather report from the initial airing of this program a year ago. I can't believe WBOC didn't edit this part out, there was actual people in the waiting room listening to what he was saying. They blatantly passed along wrong information, which I believe they should be held accountable for.

1) The weather is always changing.
2) It's really hard to accurately predict the future weather.
3) Everyone who watches the weather forecast promptly forgets what they just saw.
So who cares if the weather forecast was a year old? At this point, what difference does it make?
Are you Hillary Clinton?
none - in fact I watched DL yesterday and didn't know it was a repeat - and don't remember the weather even being mentioned. Guess I wasn't paying attention if what you said is true.
"Are you Hillary Clinton?"
Yes, how did you know? And, at this point, what difference does it make?
It was a repeat from last year, July 3, 2014. The weather report was right after Jimmy and Lisa opened the show. It was with Dan talking about Hurricane Arthur, remember how that was going up the coast last year?? And guess what Dan is on vacation this year. So if you watched any of their 10 million newscasts last night you would've seen the weekend guy. Some other clues to show this was a repeat was when Lisa was talking about either free concerts or free movies on the beach in Ocean City, she said it's every Wednesday and it kicked off "last night," that was true last year when that show was new on a Thursday, but not this year as it was aired on a Friday.
Ant the point of the matter is if you remember last year on the 4th of July the fireworks had to be moved in Ocean City to Saturday July 5th because of this storm. How can they run an old weather report from a year ago that talks about moving fireworks and things like that? I'm just appalled that they would do this.
From 2:00 pm-3:00 pm today according to WBOC schedule of shows it listed White Collar which I was set to watch --what actually happened was an hour long commercial of "60"'s music, today's date is 7/4/15 yes today the 4th of July. There programming is all screwed up not just the weather!!!!!!! This happens a lot who ever is responsible for the scheduled shows is an idiot!
They did the same thing about a plane crash from months ago. Said it happened the other day like it was breaking international news.
Oh, you poor babies! WAH,
Some people don't always watch a complete show from the exact beginning to the very end. I also saw the portion of DelmarvaLife yesterday and heard the part about a Hurricane off Wilmington NC which would be off the coast of Ocean City the next day. I did not know it was an old show, and thought this was some new Hurricane that formed and this was the first I had heard of it. Bad decision to re-play last year's show. It should have had a banner across the bottom of the screen saying that it was from 2014.
Should be arrested immediately. Lying about the weather is very offensive to me. I'm affraid on thunder.
3:48 you are exactly right. WBOC should get in trouble for replaying old information like that. Why couldn't they put a disclaimer up or simply re-do the beginning of the show?
