During an earlier thread today many were dissatisfied with the Weather Nation because it didn't have local weather. I was able to type in my zip code a few minutes ago and there it was. In another thread I expressed my viewpoint that the Weather Channel had so much non-weather related programming and often to the left of left. I'm willing to give this channel a chance since all I want is weather. . . "pure and simple".
PS to post
It says on my TV that local radar is coming soon to Weather Nation.
Thanks for the heads up!!
BTW, not to beat up on anyone, but do some of the on-air WeatherNation people seem a little, well, not-ready-for-print-time? Or maybe they're just being folksy (not that I could what they do....).
My KB hates me.....
I will take Weather Nation any day. I just want the forecast and the radar, I don’t need global warming propaganda 24/7. Hope DirecTV keeps them and tells The Weather Channel to go play in the highway.
I have Direct TV.
TWC, AKA the global warming channel, is not missed at my house.
Same here
Ditto!
You might be right; however, I’d rather have the folksy than the SLICK if you know what I mean. I just like having the weather be weather so I’ll keep on watching.

If you like weather check out this too: http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/forecasts/
Longer range forecasts (of course the forecasts that are months ahead are more iffy).
East coasters look at the “8-14 days” temp map: better days are coming soon!
Thanks for the info. I’m not a weather junkie. . .but I don’t like a lot of fluff and puff during the forecasting.
TWC has even cut back on the “local on the 8s” broadcasts. The only reason to watch a ‘weather channel’LOL!
You mean THE Weather Channel is no longer on Directv?????
Who would ever have known?
This new Weather Nation is like the old, pre-globull warming TWC, only better!
I hope TWC is never back.
Comcast...where ideology trumps profits....

For some reason when I hit the red button for the local information it comes on more quickly than when on the Weather Channel. Maybe someone changed a battery in my remote but I definitely see a difference.
“I will take Weather Nation any day. I just want the forecast and the radar, I don’t need global warming propaganda 24/7”
I think it a bit odd to name winter storms. Mix, Max, Hercules.... STRANGE! Winter happens. One snowflake is the same to me (even if they are different)
There must be some kind of government relief money for named storms.
Actually the storm naming is done by the Weather Channel.
It is part of their ideological push to promote “climate change”.
And it is working. I’ve seen internet posts by idiot youts saying things like “they had to start naming these winter storms because they’re so much worse than years ago”.
