the weather channel will see their viewership decline after all of these switches. I think they should put abrams & bettes on before they do cantore and steele. Let "big al" do the weather from 5 am to 7am then from 10 am to 3 pm.
I seriously doubt they care about viewers when the only time it's watched is to briefly get a weather update. It's not like people sit down to watch TV & think, "Hmm let's see what's on the Weather Channel." In actuality, I bet viewers increase...

i did notice they are playing actual music now on the local on the 8s. Now if they could get rid of those stupid voiceovers.

I am actually one of those people who watch the weather channel ALOT and i turn it off when they are showing movies. Their LOYAL viewers will turn it off.

TWC has been worthless since their founder left and they became The Global Warming Channel. The bad science they have followed leads to forecasting that is wrong more than right and everything is sensationalized. I wish they would get dropped for a channel that is worthwhile.

the sad thing is there isn't another weather channel out there to replace it with.

I used to watch TWC a lot...then about 5 years ago the station tanked. They started all sorts of BS coverage and I stopped watching all together.

that stinks. They need to bring back weather plus or something that shows ONLY WEATHER. I don't want another cmt,mtv,etc. I WANT AN ALL WEATHER CHANNEL NOT THE WEATHER MOVIE CHANNEL!!!I plan on writing to the ceo of nbc and the president of the weather channel announcing my displeasure at this move.
They actually have a channel that does ONLY weather (it doesn't even do ads).

It's called WeatherScan (Comcast put it in Digital Starter).

i think the nbc owned/operated have what they call NBC PLUS. But all it shows are forecasts and radar no local meteorologists. So basically they should call it weatherscan local and rename weatherscan local to weatherscan cable.

All it takes is a hurricane, tornado, or a cloudburst somewhere...and the movie should get interrupted for an alert.

The force of nature would most likely outweigh a rerun of an edited-down flick.

NBC PLUS is not weather all the time (some areas do have some news on it part time) and not used for that in all areas.

Re: Let's watch a movie on The Weather Channel!

i don't care if it shows news, sports and weather. It would be better than the crap nbc is throwing at us with the weather channel. Whoever runs that channel or sold it to nbc should be shot. Take a perfectly useful channel and ruin it. First "Wake up with big al" now "friday night movies" what's next "the olympics on the weather channel?" Oh I forgot you watch local on the 8s still but everything else is anything BUTweather related.

You're a little too upset over a boring channel no one watches. If you want weather THAT bad, do like everyone else in 2009 and look online. And if a storm cut off your power, too late...the storm is there lol. Also, buy a old weather radio.
