“The lack of hurricanes has really hurt the Weather Channel”

What hurt the Weather Channel is they stopped focusing on the weather and began pimping for the “global warming” political agenda.

Maybe pushing their homo courage awards, rehiring Olberman, having Obama do brackets and over politicizing sports is putting the noose around their necks! I used to love watching ESPN, but ever since 2008 they’ve gone über lib.

Used to be stuck watching ESPN to see MLB, NFL, PGA, CFB highlights.

They used to jump around between different sports and I would have to sit through Sportscenter with interspersed NHL and NBA highlights. Neither of which I care to see.

Now I have MLB, NFL and SEC networks with a DVR to see what I want, when I want.

Now I only watch ESPN when they have a live sport I want to watch...without sound!

The last few years of liberal enforced group think by the SJWs at BSPN have me avoiding that channel, unless its college basketball season.

Finally cut the cord 2 weeks ago and doing the Netflix Hulu and HD antenna route..

TV is on less don’t need to shoo the kids out from in front of the TV to do stuff and my bill has dropped by $120/mo.

My excuse was I needed cable for sports and then realized I barely had the time anymore to watch them anyways.

I agree. Way to much PC nonsense at ESPN.

Hopefully, more people are sick of their garbage.
