TWC is airing yet another non-weather-related show called "Highway Thru Hell".  :rolleyes:

Like Ice Pilots it's not even a new show. It's an old NatGeo series.

So TWC is essentially becoming "NatGeo Lite" like I feared?  :rolleyes:  I guess this is the closest thing to a traffic flavor we'll see...

 :huh:  ...Wait a minute, what?  You mean to tell me Ice Pilots wasn't a new show?  I've deceived myself this whole time.

Correct. Ice Pilots started on Nat Geo for seasons 1 and 2.
TWC picked up the series in 2012 airing seasons 1 & 2 then the new season  3.
Apparently TWC dropped the show after season 3.

More non weather related reality shows are coming to TWC.
"Four new series are being scheduled by the Weather Channel: “Catching Hell,” about commercial spearfishers; “Now What?” about people’s behavior during weather emergencies; “Tornado Alley”; and “Wicked in the Weather,” about meteorological legends like “a bad moon rising.” Four series are being renewed, including “Strangest Weather on Earth” and “Why Planes Crash.”

Commercial spearfishers? Give me a break! I'm sure this show has as much to do about weather as Reel Rivals.

IMO I would much rather see new episodes of "Storm Stories" and "It Could Happen Tomorrow" than watch shows about people fishing, gold-digging and other non-weather related whatnot.  :rolleyes:

Also wouldn't mind seeing new episodes of that Peter Lik show from 2011. I really liked all of the landscape pics that Lik took  :)  plus I happen to have all 13 episodes on DVD which I recorded from TV a couple of years ago.  :yes:

I guess TWC doesn't care about appeasing DirecTV anymore.  :rolleyes:

Too much "hell" on The Weather Channel.  First "Highway Through Hell," and now "Catching Hell."  What's next - a show called "Burning in Hell?" :rolleyes:

They keep putting captions on screen for the "Cold Water Captains" show as if people can't understand english being spoken with a Canadian accent.

"Cold Water Captains" is not a new produced for TWC show either.
It's a Discovery Canada show "Cold Water Cowboys" that finished its first season on April 25th.

Well, after all, The Weather Channel has "gone to hell" these past few years.  :D
