Re: heh
said by Fox McCloud  :said by Hall :said by ke4pym : Many of the stations in my market shut down their weather radar channel because of this requirement. Only one of my local stations operates a weather channel and they started it up not long before the Jan 1, 2007 deadline for this children's programming requirement. It's still running today too.... I'll second that; I'm really glad they did too; while it's definitely not an exciting channel, I find it far more beneficial to watch and listen to that THE Weather Channel, but that's just me. Either way, I really like my HD offering off of my antenna; all but one of my regular channels broadcasts in HD at some time during the week. The Weather Channel has become a wasteland of enhanced weather "specials", most hosted by mr. superlative Jim Cantore. They were better when they stuck to just weather reporting and analysis instead of trying to make it a soap. |

yep; I completely agree; heck, I can remember when they didn't even have a weather man, or anyone talking on the channel; it was just a 24/7 radar view with elevator music. |

Re: The Weather Channel
Ironically, TWC's weather.com website is as good as TWC on cable is bad. |

Ditto now everything I seem to turn it on it's some weather show or it seems like a news reporting channel.
I kid you not I used to have it turned to the channel 24/7
