As the article says, I find it pretty unlikely that NBCU/Comcast would be willing to even negotiate a sale; they still might find it a valuable asset.

Sounds like a disaster. That seems about as smart as AOL buying them

I saw the actual video with that XL crawl a few months ago, but I don't remember who the YouTube user was who published it. Speaking of that outbreak, man there is literally a library of videos from Huntsville, to Birmingham, to Tuscaloosa as all the tornadic chaos unfolded. It's definitely worth a look at for nostalgic and historic purposes.

Here's the video

Not gonna happen. NBC had been wanting to acquire TWC years prior to its purchase, so I doubt they want to sell it out so soon.

Here's a great, clear example of TWC overhyping. Putting out a notice on severe wx when there is very little evidence showing up on models or the SPC for that matter on severe weather here.  :wacko: With this feature being around about 6 months, I'm curious to know why no mets pulled the trigger before in the dozen of severe weather setups that were a heck of lot more ominous than this over the past 6 months. This is the very first time I have ever been under one of these alerts and I find that to be sad and ridiculous.

OK, is it just me, or do Chris Warren and Crystal Egger have NO personality whatsoever?  I know we've talked about this before, but watching WCL tonight was incredibly painful.  I'm not saying every OCM has to "love" the weather with all their heart, but I would like to see a little more passion. :hammer:

WCL are live again until 11PM ET because of the snowstorm.

Looks like with Q1 2012 programming, From the Edge is back, and WWCH is off (with exception of the Saturday/Sunday half-hour versions at 4 AM ET).

It wasn't in the Q4 2011 loop, but seems to be in the Q1 2012 loop, so thats why you saw it Pavel ;)
