On YouTube, I came across this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKKj35xhkNE
 
The Onion reports that a "Critic claims The Weather Channel shamelessly overreports stories on hurricanes and weekend forecasts at the expense of other news." Come on! That's why its called The Weather Channel for a reason!
as I said in the other thread this was posted in... The Onion is a satirical newscast and newspaper. It's simply poking fun at The Weather Channel in no harm.

That's actually been there for quite some time, maybe even since the studio was built; sometimes it's kept hidden better than others, though.

Guess what else? The HOLIDAY TRAVEL BAR OF DOOM is active as of this hour.

Haha I love that video... Especially the modded LDL with the scrolling WX conditions.... Since the title says Traffic flow, then changes to todays forecast, to the air quality screen. haha.

And Billy, the episode was on about 2 weeks ago too.

Wow, Mark is all hyper and silly this morning; I think he's been drinking out of Dave Schwartz's cup.

Wow, Rich is on. That seems a little unusual. You don't see him on weekends very often.  :thinking:

It looks like he's the primary fill-in for this shift on Saturday now; he was on last Saturday as well.

He seems to have taken Dave's place as a fill-in. :yes:
