Only because TWC is the DNC/Obama propaganda channel.

Apparently Jim Cantore isn't happy about this. I bet those 3 people who died Friday night would've been alive provided that they were watching TWC and they were covering the outbreak at the time.

This Concept really needs to go.


What concept? :unsure: Anyway, Jim has a right to be mad that a WEATHER Channel airs movies instead of live weather. :angry:

And I thought Martin or someone said the dual feed was being used that night. :blink:

apparently the dual feed wasn't enough. Its also useless for satellite viewers

I completely agree - Jim Cantore has every right to be mad.  I'm sure that, when he signed on to work on The Weather Channel as a meteorologist, he never expected he'd have to compete for air time with movies!

The Weather Channel NBC really dropped the ball on this one!  :thumbdown:

Oh he's not trying to compete. He's just a true meteorologist, who wants only to do his job and share what he knows with viewers. He's an asset to TWC, and I think even NBC realizes that.

Just a head's up, the first airing of Volcano is supposed to be preempted for everyone, but the airing at 10pm will go on as schedule. I heard Nick mention this earlier today. Let's see if they're gonna stick to their guts this time.  :rolleyes:

I'm much more inclined to watch "Ghostbusters" on TV Land than I am to watch the second "Volcano" movie TWC has aired inside a month.

I gotta agree. I saw part of it and it looks pretty good.  :yes:

So is there no "Flick and a Forecast" tonight? My guide is showing "Tornado Road" airing from 8pm to 2am.

I really don't care for Flick and a Forecast. I have not watched it, and I don't think I will. Who wants to see movies on the Weather Channel?!  :angry: I grew up in the 90s, and sometimes I would spend hours watchin TWC instead of cartoons, because I was fascinated with with their weather coverage, and I loved their music. Now, on weekends, you virtually can't see any sort weather coverage except for the morning. There's Flick and a Forecast, and then there's all that other programming like Storm Chasers and Tornado.  :no: I was pleasantly surprised last week to see that TWC actually pushed aside their programming to show coverage of the tornados.

Really? My guide says the same thing. I'm starting to have a bad, but slightly good feeling about this.

Jen confirmed on her twitter account that they'll be no "Flick and a Forecast" tonight.

for sake of argument, ive noticed a bunch of programming changes since the dishnet/twc situation. im sure anyone whose payed attention to what happens between 8pm-4am has noticed what i mean. also 3pm ive noticed something different too.
