I used to watch the weather channel when they ran the local forecasts every 15 minutes, but ever since I got satellite its not worth watching.
When I was a kid, I used to watch the weather channel for the sole purpose of seeing if we would get a snowstorm that would cancel school. I learned 3 things...
#1 Our school district never closed. We had a bigger chance of the school closing down due to a water main break, than a snowstorm.
#2 The predictions are never accurate when it comes to snow. 1-3 Inches ment a dusting, 3-6 inches ment about an inch, 6-12 Inches ment about 4 Inches, 12-14 usually ment that we where in for a big storm.
#3 Its better not to watch the weather and just deal with the weather as it happens.

I haven't watched TWC since they fired Dave Schwartz and Kristina Abernathy.
The NOAA's weather website is 100x more useful anyway.

Agree....I was at a relative's home on Christmas Eve. He has D*...I watched Weather Nation just to check it out..
It kicks TWC's ass...
C'mon man. You guys know you can't live without Jim Cantore.
Perhaps some of the real meteorologists will bolt from TWC over to Weather Nation...
Many of which are owned by Comcast, correct?Lets drop the shopping channels also

You know bills would go up if that happened, as the shopping channels PAY to be carried.
I dont see that happening just on geographics
TWC is based in Atlanta
Weathernation is based in Minneapolis
Not surprising as Dish launched their own weather channel when there was a dispute with The Weather Channel...Of course, that was a mess although I wish it would have worked out. That is a different story, though...I think there is a YouTube video of what happened still
Comcast has listed G4 as being discontinued in January, so I can't blame DirecTV for dumping it ahead of time instead of
waiting until it's last day of service is over.
as for home shopping in another post, Comcast owns ShopHQ.
and finally, I don't need TWC for weather. I have my local news weather for the dumbed-down version, my local NWS site that I consider the "local forecast discussion" as great weather porn, and I have RadarScope on my iphone for dual pol radar and if I'm on a PC I have many NWS/NOAA sites and some .edu weather sites that give me lots of maps, high-res dual-pol radar and all types of weather model data to access and analyze.
NBC owned shop at home and Comcast owns qvc
