Not seeing other good way to contact (don't trust FaceBook nor have Twitter use up my message quota), so just wanted to use this "channel" to suggest that your coastal "Weather on the Ones" include the tide tables. As it is I have to flip over to the Weather Channel's "8's" to get that info (plus Emerald Isle temperatures).
TIA,

Thanks for your feedback. We've been exmaining ways we can effectively provide tide information for all the coastal locations we serve. We always use viewer feedback like yours to improve the way we provide information to News 14 Carolina viewers.
For the latest Emerald Isle forecast, be sure to look for our Crystal Coast forecast every hour at :11 and :41 after the hour.
Thanks for watching News 14 Carolina!
