TWC just ran a super lame promo mocking the DTV don't switch to cable TV ads.
In the midst of their Storm coverage it's not appropriate and childish.

This will be launching in mid-March, running from 7-10 AM ET.

Apparently this stands for "America's Morning Headquarters".

It sounds.. so "weather-y"...

Network Weather Channel posted this on Facebook:  " *** URGENT MESSAGE FROM NETWORK WEATHER CHANNEL ***
There have been rumors running around that our company should buy The Weather Channel. Yes, we are heavily considering that option and a press release will be put out to the press explaining this situation. More in the coming days. STAY TUNED"

Whaaaaaaaatttttttt. Would NBC even consider that? Can't wait to hear more..

I just don't get TWC's rules for when they stay live and when they go to tape.
Last night they ended storm coverage at 8pm though my cable guide said they were going to be on till 11pm.
Tonight there are no active storms and TWC is staying live to 10pm.

you're forgetting the fearsome WINTER STORM KRONOS...

Yeah, winter weather in south Texas and Louisiana would (well, should) warrant extra coverage.   I guess TWC realizes that there's another part of the country other than the Northeast?

i live in louisiana.. we had snow.. interstates are shut down.. but all TWC cares about is Houston.. who got LESS snow than we did.

After two decades of being a TWC fan, I'm done with them. This is sick of them to do, and they don't seem like they're changing their ways... ridiculous...

Directv just slapped every broadcasting executive in the face and showed them not to try and haggle for more money. I agree in this case its TWC's fault though. They think wayyy too highly of themselves. Produce a crappy product, get crappy money.

better idea. make weatherscan a TWC2 of sorts, kinda like ESPNEWS where it's live weather forecasts all day and night... even if they have to do taped forecasts overnight.

dual feed sucks, I like watching when there's severe weather in other areas, rather than be stuck watching longform.

Andre Bernier posted this in a comment on weathernation's website under a post by their president.

As a member of the launch team of The Weather Channel from 1982 – 1985, I am happy to see a new network that is dedicated to the same constant 24/7 weather coverage that once made TWC a solid source for national and local weather. So many of the original (and now former) meteorologists on staff at TWC with whom I am still in touch to this day, share the same heartache when we see the path on which TWC traveled in the last decade. WNTV has a golden opportunity to recapture the wonder of meteorology that was abandoned by the agenda-driven programming that drove viewers away in disgust. Like many of the thoughtful responses above, I echo the cheer and encouragement to stay the course: weather, pure and simple, leaving sensationalism, cheap stunts (naming winter storms), and agenda-driven content out of the mix.

May God grant you all great blessing and increase in 2014.

Blessings,
André Bernier
