It says on wikipedia that NBC Universal manages the station, but it also says that Bain Capital and The Blackstone Group actually owns the station.

Its a joint venture between all three.

Interesting you mention Leo Laporte Steve. I used to love watching his shows on techTV/ZDTV.

So what changes could we expect with TWC now that NBC has bought them?

Weatherscan, one of my favorite channels, will likely be gone, and they'll probably get rid of the WeatherStars since NBC does not know how to operate them.

Why would WxScan go anywhere? And what does NBC have to do with running the WxStars? The people run the STAR's, not the company. And unless they do some major firing that won't be a problem.

You don't have to keep telling us to go to your thread. In fact, the rules strictly prohibit soliciting people to go to or reply to your thread. We aren't illiterate.

Vic, that's a question we really can't answer. We can speculate till the cows come home, but none of us can really began to say for sure what changes we could see.

My computer is of mixed age. That's because I built it myself (that was back in 2003) but am constantly upgrading it. I recently replaced the video card, CPU, and RAM.

My mothers computer is about 6 months old. She bought it in January, I believe.

I would strongly recommend watching the show one more time before mid-September...Drew's really improved over the beginning, and...well...the show's not going to be the same come September.

TPIR won't make two years after this (at least on CBS).

The last time I watched was relatively recently and I still wasn't too wild about him. I don't think that's gonna change.

I watched it a couple of times since Bob left, but I just can't warm up to Drew Carey. He seems very dry compared to Bob.

Well Dundalk always has a huge parade so I watched that, and that was cool. Then they have a huge fair all weekend long , which I will be going to tomorrow, and then again on Sunday evening with my father to watch Mark Farner (of Grand Funk Railroad-classic 70's rock) perform.  :sunglasses:
