I am a Fios customer and sad to see Weather Channel gone. There was some really attractive meteorologists on WC.

We never watch TWC. They jumped the shark with their evangelizing for the Climate Change religion. Besides, weather reporting is so excellent for local weather events, you don’t need it.

Weather Channel and a couple of others were dropped from my analog cable, but the cable company were lending out "free" digital converters to get those channels which I immediately ran out to get. I never hooked it up and really didn't miss the channel. Why wait until the "eights" to get the current weather when my smart phone will give me all the same info immediately.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Indeed. Like Samantha Mohr.

We’ll know what customers really want this year or next. HBO is now offering subscription service directly without going through a cable provider. Other major channels will follow. Verizon, et al. will not be able to dictate channel offerings & bundles very much longer.

[dfwgator]

Of course they’d never drop Logo.

Yeah, cuz waiten for a friggin scroll bar is way more fun than watching paint dry...

[VanDeKoik]

What is this Ca-Ble television they speak of? Sounds all antique-y.

Supposedly, when cable tv first started booming the big thinkers said people now were going to get a choice about what they could watch. Tv viewers could now watch shows about what pleased them and not be tyrannized by the common denominator like network tv.

Except that's exactly what happened to all those wonderful cable channels. They all descended to the common denominator. And the common denominator has awful taste in programming. But that would be alright if channels like the History Channel actually televised shows about historic events. Instead THC quickley turned into many shows that were only slightly related to historic events or not all. Ancient Aliens anyone?

Other cable channels followed suit and simply put on what sub 100 IQed people wanted to watch. The Learning Channel? Give me a break. Show after show about grotesquely obese people and mediums? The Travel Channel? Show after show about idiots gorging themselves on food.

It's almost hopeless. Cable tv is as vast a wasteland as network tv was in 1961 in Newton Minnow's immortal words. Maybe worse now.

Regime affiliate Comcast (also parent of MSNBC) bought Weather Channel to push the theology of Climate Change.
Since then, it’s constant propaganda.

[I want the USA back]

The next few years will see the elimination of the arrogant monopolies known as cable companies. I can’t wait.
