Me too on both. The passing of an era... Remember when they had Gay Dawson on? She was worth watching...

I used to watch the weather channel to see what was going on in the rest of the country. But, that was when they actually had weather on. Now, they don’t even have it “on the 8s” anymore. (Not so sure about that, as I don’t watch it, but the last few times I have tried to catch local weather, they never had it...)

tOU’RE A CHILD.

I’m so old I remember when there was no FM radio———and people rarely obsessed on weather conditions.

I am so old that I remember the end of what was a GREAT CHANNEL... MTV... when they ran their first commercial... Snickers... I knew it was all over.

If I am seriously worried about the weather, I put it on a LOCAL station!

I’m also bandwidth challenged.
There's always radio I guess.
When I was a kid, I'd sneak my transistor radio into school to listen to the World Series.
I remember those games more than most I've watched on TV.

Looks like I won’t get the Superbowl.

Are you too far away from any over the air Fox station?

It will be streamed online from numerous pirate sites in Europe, PM me close to gameday for some links (don't ask how I know this LOL).

These are the same extreme left-wing liberals that claim anyone that doesn’t believe in their global warming gods must be insane and should be locked up.

Have you seen TWC’s plea? “Don’t let Direct TV control the weather!”.

What’s that supposed to mean, “Controlling the weather is OUR job!?

Turned them on for a bit last week. They didn’t talk about global warming but did talk about the money going to Iran, Christiegate and reviewed three new music groups. Had to check twice to make sure I hadn’t turned to CNN in error.

TWC went STRAIGHT donwhill after it was acquired by NBC-Obama.

I have ZERO sympathy for anyone associated with it.

DTV won’t. They swapped out The Weather Nation and aside from butthurt old ladies and news junkies, nobody will give a heck.

I would pay admission to sit in on the negotiations where the DTV representatives are grinning like Cheshire Cats as they show TWC reps what’s now on their old channel. “How much you Einsteins care to bet that maybe 20% of our customer base notices or even CARES?”

...”I have access, but I never watch it. So, neither I, nor most of those 20 million viewers, will be missing something that they never used anyway.”

I make sure to watch because I know they need to be watched...for purposes even they know.
