If the executives from 10TV were standing in front of me right now, they would be done. I seriously lost my damn mind. Never been more furious in my entire life.
It's lose-lose with the size of their market. Everyone outside of Franklin County thinks they ignore everything outside of Columbus (including severe weather) too. If the policy is to cut in for a tornado warning for a county in their area (and that is literally the policy of every station ever anymore) it doesn't matter if it's 400K people in Franklin County or 12 people in Vinton County.
I actually sat through a presentation where Chris Bradley of WBNS went over this back in 2008 or 2009. They absolutely fucking dread the day it happens during something like OSU football because it's going to be a disaster no matter what is chosen, especially if a tornado would actually hit. Luckily being a CBS station it would likely never happen.
