"Weather Channel wants you to keep your head in the clouds on Election Day"

The station hopes to draw Americans away from yammering political pundits and potentially terrifying election results by broadcasting a nine-hour marathon of "the most beautiful, awe-inspiring, and calming weather video and scenery ever caught on tape," it said in a press release Tuesday.

I get the idea, but do they need to cancel WCL & WUTV for this? Since when is Election Day a holiday? If they started this after WUTV, I would love it but canning Live coverage for this bothers me.

Is this for real? The idea sounds like something the Onion might post.

Hmmm, this oughta be interesting. Anything to get me as far away as possible from all the tiresome political garbage, I guess.

Well, here's the press release, so I guess it's real.   Believe me, I was skeptical too when I first saw.

I can't believe that y'all jumped right over the fact they are playing smooth jazz with it.

I'm jumping with joy right now. I must say, this is probably one of the most brilliant ideas TWC has come up with.

Can't tell if this is the start of something good or bad..

[Localonthe8s]

Wow.

[CartoonJazzLover]

Well, I know what I'm doing on elections day. Stay the heck away from Politics and watch some TWC and cartoons.

[Jaden]

I can't say anything. I have no words..

[Evan2015]

I saw a promo for it this morning, sounds like the smooth jazz is just going to be same tracks they've been using during smooth jazz days, not that that's a problem.

The Weather Channel is going into Longform Mode at 3:00PM Eastern Time.

Is there ANY possibility or rumor that they may play any of the "Trammel Starks" smooth jazz songs from the 1996 to 1997 era tommorow during this 9 hour special??

I would LOVE that so much to death if they play any of those songs from him back in the old weather channel days.
just ONE even. That's my true hope.
