According to the Weather Channel, its 6am "Wake Up with Al Roker" beat both CNN's New Day" and MSNBC's "Morning Joe" this month:

"Morning Joe" has been shedding viewers for about a year. "New Day" is shaping up to be one of television's all-time titanic disasters. In other words, it's not that Al Roker's numbers are so high, it's that CNN's and MSNBC's numbers are so low.

Overall, this is another sign of the slow-motion fall of left-wing cable news networks. While -- thanks to great producing, on-air talent, and a willingness to cover news stories the left-wing MSM ignore -- Fox News soars, there is just no reason anymore to tune into CNN or MSNBC.

The irony is that the weather channel has become the "man-made global warming is real and were all going to die" channel.

The weather channel is unwatchable.

I never watch the Weather Channel, and I don’t care for Al Roker.

Isn't TWC an NBC Universal, er, Comcast property? If still so, it's competing with itself.

[who knows what evil?]

Wake Up with Al?

I don't think so.

[RinaseaofDs]

Outnumbered features both ‘hot’ and ‘smart’.

TWC gives you just the ‘hot’, I guess. That can work, so long as they stay quiet.

[sauropod]

Oh no it’s not.

Just turn down the sound.

It was ok till NBC bought it. They tried to turn it into a version of the History-learning channel and ruined it.

DirecTV now has WEATHER NATION. For a while they dropped Weather channel because there was so little weather on it.

I remember a few years ago, Jim Cantore was quite upset about the direction in which the programming was going. It’s a shame.

[nascarnation]

It’s still the NBCU family. Just different branches.

[nascarnation]

Yes

[SunkenCiv]

Reruns of Leave It To Beaver would beat them.

#5 Rush Limbaugh: I lived in Kansas City back in the seventies and one local station there went out and made a big deal out of some new weather girl that they had hired, and I gotta tell you, when this woman stood on the East Coast and faced the West Coast, the first state you saw was Missouri.

I'd take Maria Molina before she got engaged.
