>> In New York, WNBC (4) has "Doppler 4000 Radar."
So of course, WCBS (2) had to top that with "Doppler 2 Million."
Go figure.
Where does it stop?
Wouldn't surprise me if WABC (7) went for "Doppler 7 Billion" (or 
Bajillion...)

Where will it end?  Do these TV stations think that we are a bunch of
simpletons that need flashy names, graphics and presentations?  Give it
time, because I'm sure the same consultant that came up with "High
definition doppler" also consults with one of the New York stations.  I'm
sure before too long someone up there will be using the "high definition"
moniker.
