Now if only it would feel like spring! GRRR. Two days ago we got to 75 degrees! Now it's down to 40 for a high. :pinch:

i love the fresh scent of the Front Porch  :biggrin:

Also some Breaking news regarding Comcast!

*I finally got a very important message on my Moto DCH 3416 HD/DVR Box*

Quote
"In spite of our efforts to continue carrying NFLN/NFLNHD, NFL may terminate our rights. As a result These Networks may be removed as soon as 5/1/09"
Well this means everyone With Comcast might get TWC HD in May  :worship:

before you know it, they will drop either Jim Cantore, Bill Keneely (or however you spell it), or Greg Forbes. That will, in my words and mind, the end of the Weather Channel. :wow:

I can see them dropping Keneely, but Cantore and Forbes? Highly unlikely.

The problem is Comcast is probably trying to keep NFL Network on the Sports tier, while the NFL wants it desperately offered on digital basic (similar to the Comcast/Big Ten Network debacle). But, either way, Comcast dropping the NFL Network has nothing to do with them adding TWCHD.

NFL Network is so tied in litigation that it's a mess.

And TWC would never drop Cantore for the sake of its brand equity. Cantore has become synonymous with TWC.

Hey kids, let's recap what we learned last night:

If you're the President of the United States of America, be very very careful about what you say if you go on a late-night talk show.

I don't see what the big deal is. It's a joke. Why does society have to be so freakin' uptight?

When you're in politics, no matter who you are, they'll get you for anything they can, apparently it makes good news.

When has Jim Cantore been on Your Weather Today? Welcome to the New Weather Channel.. Can't say it's improved cos before you know it, they will drop either Jim Cantore, Bill Keneely (or however you spell it), or Greg Forbes. That will, in my words and mind, the end of the Weather Channel. :wow:

I don't watch YWT since it's too early for me. It's the end of TWC for me if they say no more Stephanie and/or Mike.

I don't watch YWT that often anymore because it's going downhill already.

BTW, Happy Spring!!! (For me, it's Summer, but I'll just call it my way! Sprummer! It's too hot here in my area.)

Even with Jim on the team? Without Heather? That's surprising to know.
Jim has been tweeting on his twitter.  :hmm:
