Hadn’t noticed that, and its on a lot of the time. But they do seems to have twice as many on air personalities than they need, and struggle to find chatter or news items to hold viewer interests
They get better ratings in times of severe weather I’d bet.
Damn climate change.
Like David Hogg moping around between school shootings.
I used to watch the Weather Channel when they ran movies (with the bottom weather scroll) that featured the weather.
Yes, they sometimes stretched it, but I became aware of "okay" movies I missed back when I actually went to the movies.
And, they'd run the same movie back to back.
Any way, one movie night, they kept interrupting the movie because of a pending tornado outbreak in Arkansas/Alabama.
The movie nights disappeared after that.
You have listed yourself as the author.
It’s YOU who produces the material at the weather channel?
Really? Just you? All by yourself?
Because that’s what you’ve posted, that you are the author of the material.
Or maybe were you lying a little?
They hyped the above average tornado season that we had previously as clear evidence of Global Warming. A below average season doesn’t fit into the narrative.
And only a couple of hurricanes after 13 years! But they keep claiming GW is causing severe weather- even though it isn’t.
Storms = viewers = ratings. That’s the only thing that matters. Gotta sell those ads.
Are you kidding? An EF0 tornado hit Baldwin County Alabama on Sunday and damaged 5 RVs.
IMHO, they spent years building up a brand with their weather on the eights. Now they have weather on the eights perhap twice per hour. Too much reality programming. Not worth watching anymore even for background noise.
It takes a lot of training to become a Meteorologist.
You have to be fluent in specific types of mathematics and calculation methods. Plus, you have to come across good on camera. Not too nervous, not too bored, definitely not too technical. Not enough air time for the full story.
I’m no Number Cruncher, per se. I couldn’t do it without lots of help. I don’t have an engineer’s mind. Not surprising that some Weather people want a chance to strut their stuff every so often.
In some parts of the country, as with here in Northern California, the weather can be maddeningly similar from week to week, even month to month. I can see a Weatherman or Weatherwoman feeling like a Firefighter who is so hungry for some ‘action’ that they toy with the idea of setting fires on their own.
Of course, 99.999% would never do that in real life.
You tell us. You're the one who claims to be the author of the weather report.
Were you making a joke or being a liar?
I am still waiting for Weather Channel, or any other man made global warming proponent, to explain in simple terms, what caused the global warming thousands of years ago to end the ice age? There were no fossil burning gadgets present thousands of years ago, except perhaps the cave man burning a few twigs using flint stones.
This from the hyerventilating bunch of wusses that have started naming thunder storms. Guess they will be naming the dew next.
They lost me as a regular viewer when they pushed climate change several years ago. They eased up a bit, but lost me for good when they started naming winter storms...that’s was the last straw.
