Say It On 7: Tornado Warnings Posted for Arkansas

I greatly appreciate your weather coverage here in Arkansas. Being from the OKC area you get spoiled with Gary England and Channel 9. My question / comment is do you plan on doing live time streaming of the radar systems to the internet? If so, is there any time estimate on this feature? I really miss the ability to monitor the radar live time via the internet.

Thanks for all that you do!

Scott
