The Weather Channel says it may be dropped from DirecTVs lineup as soon as tonight when a carriage agreement between the two expires, removing the channel from some 20 million households.

I’ve given up on TV, but as I recall, there was very little weather coverage on the weather channel. It was mostly reruns of garbage science shows.

You are correct.
The weather can best be learned by reviewing the various maps. I can read the maps and tell within 10 minutes when it will start raining

Yep,I remember John Hope & Lynn Shear. That being said I listen to a local AM radio station that plays 40s,50s, & 60s music and they have the weather every hour on the hour. Who gives a sh!t about The Weather Channel?

Fine by me. Everything but the weather. Then when the weather comes on its like Metro Atlanta does not exist.

Sunday in Salt Lake City, TWC keep changing the forecast. I never did get what I needed and ran into heavy snow traveling through the mountain passes.
