I've ended up with an inch of snow. It's not a lot, but it counts. It's 9 °F right now, and it's supposed to get into the single digits again tonight.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Do you think other cable compaines will drop TWC?
« on: December 31, 2013, 12:37:23 PM »
I've complained about and heard complaints about sensationalized weather before, whether in regards to TWC or some local weathercast. At least weather's still mostly there, though. The problem is that some of this other stuff crosses the line from sensationalized weather to pure sensation only IMHO. I agree with the above list, although I would expand point 4 to include the sharp cutbacks on live weekend weather in my current critique of the network.

This isn't only a DirecTV issue, then; it's a TWC issue. Obviously, (NBC-)Comcast won't drop TWC, but the fact that they're carrying WN now says a lot. By the way, the addition of WN doesn't necessarily mean the end of TWC; there are multiple news and sports networks, so why not weather?

Even in the early-to-mid '00s, TWC had fun, but I don't feel they took it overboard then. I remember the "Return of the Humidity" bit from 2004 or so (meant to parody Return of the Jedi) that I thought was pretty funny. However, when the OCMs are on less than ever before, I don't think there's as much time available for playing around.

I rarely watch anything NBC though, except the local and TWC. Why should NBC force any provider to carry a network that has lost its focus the way TWC has? I mean, I know this is the way business works, but come on. Really, it rolls back to Comcast because of NBC's connection to them.

I don't blame them at all, and I have DirecTV. I think TWC deserves it! Maybe this will be the wakeup call the struggling channel needs to get their act together.

Sunny and 45 °F. Winds S at 7 mph. The snow's melting, so there's no white Christmas for me.

Clear and 23 °F. Winds WSW at 10 mph. If all the snow on the ground melts, there will be no white Christmas for me because it's forecasted to be crystal clear.

I saw a little of the Gemini coverage last night. I like the red TWC logo a lot and I find myself wishing they would just use it all the time, but then I guess it would lose its Storm Alert impact. 
At least the normal turquoise logo is still better than the old blue one IMHO.
