I agree, big corprations are evil.
Thats not a fair statement. There are plenty of good big corporations/companies
But NBC is evil.  :yes:
That works :P

Look, I agree that not all big corperations are evil, I just think NBC is since they ruined TWC.

NBC didnt ruin all of TWC.. yes they put Al Roker on it but is it NBCs on what segments they air and how the schedule is arranged?

Yeah, to be fair, TWC were ruining themselves before NBC got to them. They were responsible for starting things like propagandizing Global Warming by slamming it in our faces every chance they got when Dr. Heidi Cullen was there pre-NBC. (Not to say that Global Warming is real or fake, but I didn't like to have to constantly hear about how driving like 5 miles to a Mc Donalds will mean losing thousands of ice caps in the arctic.)

TWC has been declining ever since the 2005 relaunch. The NBC buyout only sped up that decline.

Then again, this has probably been said so many times before.

I agree that TWC was aready declining since the logo change five years ago. Even Weatherscan isn't the same anymore, (I personaly perfered it back durring the XL and early Intellistar days, I don't like how they added so much stuff running at once on Weatherscan).
 
Even shortly before NBC's takeover, the HD overhaul back in 2008 made things worse (even in HD). I still think TWC is going to continue to add more long form programing and less weather coverage.  :angry:

Very true. Though I am not sure if I would actually prefer climate based shows over some of the shows they have now. Lesser of two evils? At least the climate shows were weather related.

Weatherscan hasn't changed in 5+ years  :wacko: You are upset because a 24/7 weather channel loops a few more slides of info? I am just curious why you thought the HD launch made things worse?

After all this talk about NBCU destroying TWC, I'm just glad TWC wasn't bought by Viacom.
