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.
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 -- It's NOT Ni-kon It's NE-KON!
