The one with ratings so low, they have to count the crickets
Why didn't we ditch TWC when we had the chance?

I have 4 weather apps on my iPhone that meet my needs that include both local weather and travel destinations.
For the first time, I just looked over DirecTV's Facebook page. Unfortunately, the majority of the posts I read support and don't want TWC removed from DirecTV. However, that could be due to the more sophisticated - almost "cable-like" - method DirecTV uses to provide "Local on the 8s" - unlike DISH. I still don't quite understand why DISH could not have continued carrying WeatherCast (WeatherNation) several years back, along with TWC. There are multiple channels offered for most other genres.

Weather? What weather?
All I see are stories about weather past. Dish once had their own weather channel. Should have kept it. The current Weather Channel is a total waste of bandwidth. If DTV starts getting rid of useless garbage and replaces it with real channels I might be inclined to switch.

TWC runs adds for donations to the Red Cross during all disasters. So, I am sure that TWC adds money to the Red Cross's abundant coffers, therefore' the instant support from the Red Cross. TWC is not relevant any longer.
And many of the old folks probably never changed to TWC in the first place. They sure ain't getting current weather info there.
Exactly, if there is a weather emergency all the locals plaster their screens with bugs and scrolling messages letting you know of possible danger. I have not tuned in the weather channel in years.
Ahh... Thank goodness I have Dish, sure wouldn't want to miss The Weather Channel... Oh wait, I haven't watched that channel in over a decade! Their website and their iPhone/STB apps are the only useful thing for getting the actual weather. When it's severe, I go to local channels and NWS radio.
And if anyone hadn't heard, Directv pulled the plug. Whether or not it stays unplugged is another story...
And "weather" or not WeatherNation stays plugged in (if TWC returns) is also another story
Former Meterologists and TWC staff from the days when they were a decent network, have got to be enjoying this. I have watched it closely, and it is easily 20 to 1 against TWC.
I have several Weather Channel shirts I bought 11 or 12 years ago. In those days, I couldn't wear one without someone commenting on the them or asking if I worked there... in the last 4 or 5 years, they are rarely mentioned.

Agree....also, you apparently worked at WOHS (when it was AM 730) back in the day.
ha ha yes, actually WXIK staff, only on WOHS when the morning man overslept and I had to sign on WOHS... (sorry folks for that litte foray into radio land...)
“Consumers understand there are now a variety of other ways to get weather coverage, free of reality show clutter, and that The Weather Channel does not have an exclusive on weather coverage – the weather belongs to everyone.”
