Post by: gt1racerlHDl on February 03, 2012, 04:40:47 PM: Quote
The Weather Channel has announced that it will add “Ice Pilots” to its new primetime lineup.

This docu-series follows what happens when a cargo and transport airline pairs adventurous pilots with aging warplanes in the harsh conditions of Canada’s Northwest Territories. Produced by Omni Film, the series is comprised of 6x 30-minute episodes and will premiere Monday, March 5, at 9 p.m. ET, repeating at 12 a.m. ET.

That's alright, most of it is nothing but filler anyway. ;)

At this rate, I'm even more glad that I changed my mind of becoming a meteorologist with TWC and pursuing my career elsewhere that does do weather 24/7.

Or better yet, do what Pelmorex (part owner of The Weather Network/MétéoMédia) did by creating a seperate channel devoted to any special programming by them and keep all TWC weather-related.. If they had to, just repeat segments at inactive hours like TWN did. :thumbsup:
