Looks like the Weather Channel is going to follow CNN into oblivion.

What a solid business model.

Both networks were founded by that liberal lunatic Ted Turner.

That about says it all.......

"Emotion-based" anything is never going to be rational.

This is the entire engine behind liberalism. It is also the only method hucksters need employ to get people to part with their money.

Should that surprise anyone here?

Really, why anyone with a computer would watch The Weather Channel?

lol. Yep... it's the "my body, my weather" form of programming. "I feel it is bad weather today. I feel that tomorrow will be another day". "I feel for those suffering in Colorado with XX amounts of snow; I feel they must be feeling the deleterious effects of Global Snowing, in that they are bearing the brunt of Global Warming; it's not fair! I feel that we should all be demanding SOCIAL JUSTICE!"

I noticed their global warming reports a few months ago.

If forecasters can't reliably tell us what will happen in two to three months from now, why would anyone trust that they know what will happen with the weather in 50 or 100 years

Hell, I don't trust their 7-day.
First their "It Could Happen" BS series, and now that Global Warming chick.
Yeeech.

I think it was TWC that had a warning about planes causing Global warming last night. As my husband said, they're taking advantage of the warm weather in the east to scare-monger.

I'm old enough to remember when the Weather Channel was actually about the weather. But then I'm also old enough to remember when MTV played music videos.

The Weather Channel has been 5 minutes weather during 60 minutes of advertising and catastrophic stories for at least the last ten years...

...and even then if you didn't live on either coast, your weather was a guess behind the tokhes.

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

Or you can consult a variety of sources.

I checked out the Climate Code. Once. I saw Al Gore on their blathering about the need to get off of "fossil" fuels, and I believe I turned it off upon seeing that idiot.

I bet, however, that cogitator is TWC's number one fan now. :-)

I am a weather channel junkie and do watch it for the weather, but over the past few years they have added new programming instead of the weather. For example, they have a show called storm stories, which is a nice program, but what really burns me is sometimes during these programs, there is real emergency with tornados or flooding or the like and people turn to the channel for up to date forecasts. People need that information to prepare for these storms. Having dumb programming s not why people go to the weather channel.

The Weather Channel website has become unusable.

I agree with your post, it is now like watching an end of times religious broadcast on the weather channel. Only their preachers have doctor's titles instead of reverend so and so.

I think it's time to take a break from the computers.

I read the headline as being a cron job. I then wondered what an article could be about regarding a cron job at the weather channel. I read over the article and there was no mention of computers, or any cron jobs. Then I realized what happened!

Ah yes, Storm Stories, what a crock! I wondered what happened over at the Weather Channel.
