I remember a long time ago the overnight programming on The Weather Channel, especially when I was visiting my grandparents during summer vacation, who were night owls themselves, meaning no one cared when I slept, so long as I got enough sleep in a 24-hour period.
Things seemed so much more laid back and calm overnight back then, meaning, something quite enjoyable for someone to watch who's not yet tired enough to fall asleep yet has no specific desire to stay awake. I even remember the super-long local forecasts at the top of the hour when The Weather Channel rewound the tape to rebroadcast the overnight programming again.
