Good deal

I reinstalled the app only to find things have changed and not for the better. I got a small "free preview" of the live morning news, only to sign in by entering a code they send to email. when did that start? it used to be you could just click "watch live". too many steps just to watch a weather report which is very inconvenient when there is severe weather about to happen. people need to be able to "stay alert" and have "ways to stay informed" without having to enter codes sent to emails.
