You can't Cast to your Google Chromecast and when the programming changes you have to restart the live stream. The NBC app doesn't offer live streaming, which is how I watch WVLT and all of their programs LIVE!

I picked up the app while living here in Olympia, Washington...in hopes of getting more news on the tragic wildfires back in my beloved Smokies. I found the station once again coming to the aid of those so much in need. The app has kept me up to date on everything and will continue to do so, I'm sure. News, weather and special features are also excellent. Thanks

I preferred the weather only app but it is suddenly not compatible with my phone. Now I have to put up with terribly amateurish minimalist icons for weather conditions, the ones for rain and snow are apparently the same. Maybe WATE will be better.
