It means that the show will be aired on television channels other than TWC.

Good.  Once it becomes a hit in syndication, then can it on TWC.

Woah...after further review, read this:

Quote
Set to launch this fall, Litton has established customizable format options for the series 143 half hours in which  stations can insert local weather or news updates, or segments with The Weather Channel host Jim Cantore, three times over the course of the show.

Litton is also supplying stations with the "Storm Stories Production Handbook," which enables local broadcasters to localize the programming via a Web-based interface.
That's really interesting...I wonder what "localizing the programming" is.

The article does mention that the series continues to air on TWC and that they're looking to bring new life to the series, so they might keep it airing on TWC.

Translation: This is a last ditch effort on our part to increase viewership for this show. If this doesn't work, we'll be yanking it on TWC.  :P

True. It does sound very desperate.

Yes it does, especially the "bringing new life to the series".

At least that's the part that got my attention.  :sunglasses:

Storm Stories will be coming to Canada next year on "The Environment Network".
