I completely agree... even though it appears such sentiments are frowned upon here.

It's only because we've all heard it before over and over.  When I look at this thread overall, everyone is in agreement about how we view NBC's role with TWC, but some of us are just tired of discussing it and want to move on to something more positive.

It is fine to discuss it when there is something new to talk about. This qualifies.

SOOOOOOO, we're getting back on topic.

I stumbled upon an interesting article from The Washington Post. Somehow, the live weather coverage will still be there, but they'll only use it WHEN NECESSARY (i.e. blizzard, severe weather, man struck by lightning, etc (kidding on the last one :P)). Shirley Powell, TWC's executive VP says that they're "going to stick with the formula, 80% live weather coverage, and 20% longform".

The article also reveals that Dr. Steve Lyons left the network to take the job at the NWS because of TWC's crappy programming changes. (So it's not the contract then?)

Link to the article here

Oh freaking great... they're trying to turn things around again. :wacko:

Since the first statement was from Peacock productions rather than TWC, she probably either read her assumptions or just used a script...

That one made today Ill believe for now since its direct from TWC but really... they have to quit recanting plans....  :hmm:

Shirley Powell? I'm guessing she's Darby's replacement?
