The Weather Channel feed was switched to show WeatherNationTv just after midnight EST January 14th. the TWC logo is there still in the DirecTV channel lineup, but the content is WeatherNation.

See the proof, this screencap off my TV at 9:02PM PST (12:02 AM EST):

I think Weather Nation is on the “sub channels” of regular local stations—for example I think it’s on 7.2 of Ch 7 in Boston—and if you have cable like me, it’ll show up somewhere in the 200s.

Go to www.weatherspark.com Type in your hometown. Very good information.

Is not NBC/Universal also is owned by Comcrap?

Fixed

Every time I tuned into TWC, they never had, you know, actual weather. It was always some lame pseudo-documentary/reality show.

Won't miss them one bit.

[Jack Hydrazine]

At least 40% of the viewership won’t, too.

The "Commercial Channel" is the LAST place I turn to when weather get's nasty.

Plus it's an NBC owned operation now.

Besides, once they got rid of Sharon Resultan, Heather Tesch and Nicole Mitchell...it all seemed so...pointless.

You're right. With Directv, we have it on two channels (361 and 362) now that the WC is gone. But we can also get it on 13.3 of channel 13 here in Lynchburg....I guess with rabbit ears.

We had a tornado warning in my area of Colorado last summer and I put on the Weather Channel to see what was going on while the family was huddled in the basement and the Weather channel was showing A MOVIE!!! WTF!!! So we put on the local news and the emergency alert system gave us updates not TWC

The only good viewing on the WC is Amanda on the Prospectors.

Nah...a touch too slutty for my tastes - now, I could watch that slinky Kyla Grogan slide around the stage for most of the day.
