I find that idea pointless. I'd rather watch the commercials than watch..... THAT.

Due to copyright restrictions, they can't broadcast the actual show, since The Weather Channel alone has the rights to air that.

  the video comes on before a break ends or right before the lot8s ends. they should've invested more time in making the behind the scenes experience better than just setting up a cheap webcam.

They should have?  You make it seem like they owe this to you.

sorry if you took my post like that, all i was saying is they only really show video for like 10 seconds before it goes off air again.

What else can they do?  They can't broadcast from the webcam when the show is actually on, since only The Weather Channel has the right to broadcast the show in any form.  Basically, it's either this, maybe dressing it up a little more, but still essentially what there is now, or nothing.

I never said broadcast the whole dang show on ustream, all they say is "check us out on our ustream channel" and it's barely even on.

On the risk of probably getting scolded by you, why are you overreacting to what Alex said? I don't think it was that serious.

The reason TWC can not broadcast the show involves the distributors of the network. If you could watch a cable channel online (even with ads) then why bother watching on TV? Cable companies are scared of the online trends leaving them out in the cold and I imagine are quite strict about it. Plus a lot of local head ends insert their own ads.

The idea of behind the scene peeks are interesting but ultimately there wont be enough people tuning into it to make it worthwhile. its probably just a marketing ploy to make the show seem more interactive.

Alex they show video through the entire 2min commercial break to my knowledge. At least they did when I was looking. Perhaps there was a technical problem that cut it off after 10sec

Lets not fight guys ;)
