Weather

One of the things I would like to discuss here in more detail is the difference between the US and France when it comes to consuming weather. While digital tools are making localization of weather information easier to obtain and to use, the general practice remains to cover ALL of France when presenting the weather on television, and on many radio stations - which, like the television - are national in coverage. In the US, we get national weather occasionally on television, mostly in the morning on the network shows, but the local stations really are local and cover only the area the station serves, which makes sense.
It seems to be a case of where structure imposed by a governmental organizational scheme may trump what people want. I would love to see the "want" question explored more and to understand what people in each country really want from their weather service. The same? Different? If so, how, in what way?
