Not liking him
Judging from the preview video on weather.com, he seems to be your typical reality/infotainment host. All hype and no substance.

TWC is really hyping Lik too much. It's just another show to add to the overflowing bag of longform.

As if TWC didn't have enough longform.  :wacko: I never even heard of Peter Lik, and they are hyping this guy up so much. What happened to the days when this was the "Weather" Channel?  <_< Good thing I have Weatherscan (others are not that fortunate), so when Central Florida and the Tampa Bay Area is getting drenched with thunderstorms for the third consecutive day, I won't rely on the Weather Channel, and be bombarded by some glorified Crocodile Dundee knockoff.

I would give the show a couple weeks, especially when ratings come in.

2 hours, 15 minutes until this junk is aired on TWC.  :hammer:

:blink: Wow

I really don't think it's a big deal at all, just another show about nature and photography.

I watched a bit of the 7 PM hour and saw the "pre-game" show, if you want to call it that. Not sure why Jen Carfagno was there. The promotion of this whole thing is so over-the-top, can't escape it with the commercials playing on other cable channels the past week or two.

OK, so I just took this random pop-up survey on weather.com about this show (one question asking what you liked best about it) and found out that 92.7% (including me) didn't even watch it. :lol:

Wonder how many voters there were. :thinking:
