Looks like Heather got a little confused there at the end of the last segment. She began to call the show Your Weather Today, but "corrected" herself and called it Day Planner.

Confused? More like programmed to say YWT.  she's been saying it for so long its probably ingrained in her brain.

Wow, I'm surprised to see Marshall and Heather on at this time of day, on a weekend no less.

I'm pretty sure they showed coverage from CNN or one of the other networks from time to time.

Can TWC choose to buy itself out of NBC if they ever decide to do so?

No. Why is this conversation continuing here? Is EVERYONE too stupid to see the article I already posted?

Speaking of news... I was woundering, did TWC interupt their 24 hour weather coverige with live news coverige from one of the news stations?

TWC dosen't do that

I think they did.

The Weather Channel Sale Wraps
Landmark Communications concludes sale of The Weather Channel to NBC Universal, two private-equity groups.

By Robert Marich -- Broadcasting & Cable, 9/12/2008 12:16:00 PM
Landmark Communications said Friday that it concluded the sale of The Weather Channel to NBC Universal and two private-equity groups in what previously described as a nearly $3.5 billion transaction.

 
NBCU’s partners are Blackstone Group and Bain Capital. The TWC assets include the cable network, weather.com, Weather Services International, Enterprise Electronics and Canadian weather outfit Pelmorex.

NBCU and its two partners won an auction in early July to buy TWC.

In Friday’s statement, Landmark also said it transferred the company’s other businesses -- which are all earmarked to be sold -- to a new entity named Landmark Media Enterprises. LME’s executive lineup is the same as Landmark Communications.

Landmark has a deal pending to sell its Nashville, Tenn., CBS affiliate, WTVF-TV, to Bonten Media Group, ahd the company said it is looking for a buyer for CBS affiliate KLAS in Las Vegas.

I'm trying desperately to understand what your trying to say, but I just can't. 

Iwill say one thing though-you shouldn't be farting with your cable box. They can can probably charge you for tampering with their equipment.

It looks like the edit notices are gone from the bottom of edited posts. Can we get those back?

I doubt it. The update probably removed them.

Of course, we can only speculate that things are beginning to wear on him. Who knows what else could be going on. Maybe there's a familial problem or something. Or maybe there's some other reason for his issues of late. Whatever the reason, it sure is sad to see him so disgruntled. His enthusiasm in the field was (to me) what makes his reporting so good (we all remember how overjoyed he was to hear thundersnow, don't we?!). Its almost hard to watch him like this.

I was thinking that he sounded a little agitated too. after doing this for 15 or so years, maybe it IS starting to wear on him a little.

I don't care what the guy did. Their just videos for pete's sake. I'm getting tired of the constant outbursts because someone did this or that to your videos. anybody to whom this is such a HUUUUGEE matter needs to do the following:

1. Stand up

2. Turn around

3. Walk away from the computer

There's more to life than TWC, TWCC, TWCT, Youtube, and videos. You direly need to find other things to do if these are such huge deals to you.

Chris, you'll be back on the ban list the next time I see an outburst like that. It's totally uncalled for.

The folks at Microsoft thought you'd like the Arial fonts better.
