Mish was a friendly, reliable, curious meteorologist who loved science. She began forecasting weather in the 1990s and joined us here at WBZ in 2001. Mish chased tornadoes, flew into hurricanes, and brightened our lives – always sharing her enthusiasm for science and weather.

Los Angeles Sues the Weather Channel

LOS ANGELES (CN) — Los Angeles’ city attorney sued The Weather Channel on Thursday, claiming it fraudulently and deceptively uses its Weather Channel App “to amass its users’ private, personal geolocation data,” not, as advertised — “to provide them with ‘personalized local weather data’”— but to monetize the information by selling it to third parties.

Suing on behalf of the people of California, City Attorney Michael Feuer asked the superior court to enjoin the deceptive and unfair business practices, and fine the company $2,500 for each violation, doubled if committed against elderly or disabled people.

Weather Channel Greenlights 6 New Series in Time for First Upfront in 5 Years
 Secrets of the Earth, Weather That Changed the World to premiere first

The Weather Channel held its first-ever full-blown upfront presentation this morning at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Manhattan, with Weather Company president David Kenny touting a new slate of originals and several recent shows that represent a change in the forecast for the elderly cable network. It's been five years since Weather had an upfront of any kind, but it's always been a party and never (until now) a programming presentation.
