DirecTV Offers Options They Hope Replace Weather Channel Tuesday Feb 11 2014 09:31 EDT Tipped by Toguro DirecTV has escalated their battle against the Weather Channel, begun when the channel was pulled from the satellite TV company's lineup in January over a retransmission dispute. DirecTV has been trying to get customers to forget about the channel, initially launching WeatherNation on channel 361, and now offering users a variety of other weather options they hope will replace missed content. These options include a feature allowing users to gain access to local weather data instantly, and an upcoming six-feeds-in-one “Severe Weather Mix" channel. DirecTV has also continued to punch hard with claims the Weather Channel has wandered too far from their original purpose: reporting the weather. |

Now Lets Talk About CNN Headline NewsUsed to be a 30 minute rolling news channel which was great for getting an overview of world/national events.
Now it is more feature news segments. I miss the quick news recap that CNNHN used to provide. So I guess one could say that they too have strayed from their roots. | |

Weather channel is a nothing channel - be easily replacedThe Weather Channel is in a weak position here. It is a channel that can be replaced by any of a large number of other weather options. The Weather Channel should have agreed early on. Very very few will care if it is gone. They are not ESPN. | | amarryatVerizon FiOS join:2005-05-02 Marshfield, MA
