Guys, Breaking News if your NBC Station is an O&O (just got this from a local meteorologists blog): NBC, which owns the Weather Channel, is considering a move to replace the local weathercasters on the stations they own with mets from the Weather Channel. NBC owns 10 TV stations in the large cities. This move would save money but sacrifice the local flavor of the weather. Here is what the Executive VP of Programming of NBC said.... "We're examining it. We have to figure it out. We haven't yet. But there is clearly the opportunity to do that. I can tell you we're looking at that opportunity."
This could be the future of local TV weather. Large companies would supply local forecasts for a number of different stations around the country.   

Care to offer some "proof" of that news? :fear:

NBC is getting way out of hand...laying off all O&O weather department personalities is so stupid...maybe NBC should overall just fall under and cease operations, they're incapable of O&O a brain. [haha get it]

That has got to be the DUMBEST idea in the world.  Makes no sense at all.  But, look who it's coming from, NBC, who has the BEST ideas ever. :rolleyes:

I believe that member's name is Victim. Yeah I noticed that as well. His account got deleted for some reason?

true story.  But, The Biggest loser is definitely not the big loser when it comes to ratings.  On certain nights, they beat out American Idol.

FYI-  As I was typing this, I was watching the local news, and they were tali\king about Michael Jackson, and I typing out Michael instead of American Idol. :P

For those of you who like smooth jazz, here's a really good indie jazz station (they play a LOT of TWC music like Chris Geith, Mark Barrios, Brian hughes, Richard Smith, Justin Young, etc..) that you should listen to. It's .the wav Chesapeake Bay. http://www.loudcity.com/stations/the-wav-smooth-jazz/tune_in

In fact, they played Run to You by Ryan Farish 5 mins ago.
