Title: Election Night 2008
Post by: WeatherSTARIII on November 03, 2008, 08:05:18 PM: I have some good news and some bad news.

The good news is that tommorow's forecast for the whole nation is going to be calm with no storms and mild temps.

The bad news is TWC isn't covering the election! Personaly, I think all of the networks (both broadcast and cable/satellite) should air the election night coverige (even on channels that has a devoted theme -- like how TWC is normaly devoted to weather). Besides, if theirs no severe weather, do you think it be a good idea for TWC to interupt their 24 weather coverige with Election Night coveringe?

Anyways, what do you think? Maybe their could be one-second LFs with only one feature... :rolleyes:

I can even imagine ESPN or HBO showing the news coverige from their sister networks. :lol:

BTW, your forecast is a little inaccurate. There's a coastal storm that will be effecting the eastern seaboard over the next 24-48 hours. In fact, its already affecting the Carolina's.

ADAM: This is one great Chooseday, Election Day!
DAVE: That's right, my friends. We're here for all the election returns! Let's go to those results from Maine with Rich.
RICH: Yeah, let's do that. <insert results>. How about down south with Sharon?
SHARON: Yeah, let do so and go to Florida!

Post by: Mike M on November 04, 2008, 06:23:38 AM: Nope. TWC is a weather channel, not a news channel. But yeah, it would be great seeing Adam, Dave, Rich, and Sharon host it on another channel. :lol:

Post by: WeatherSTARIII on November 04, 2008, 09:18:01 PM: But NBC Univerisal bought out TWC recently, and NBCU also owns MSNBC, so why not cover it?
