TWC to carry Obama's primetime address on the oil spill

[Spring Rubber]

This is going to be tonight at 8 ET, of course.

I think it's safe to say TWC is completely a news network at this point, but we already knew that.

As if there was not enough coverage on all the major and cable networks  . Oh well, not at all surprising.

I can give them a pass on this one since TWC has morphed into more of an environmental network than a pure weather channel (looking at you, Forecast Earth).  Let me know when they cover the State of the Union or somesuch.

Welcome to the MSNBC2 era

Somehow by now, I'm used to it. I still don't like it, and from time to time I still find myself complaining about it. But yes, it was to be expected. I wonder if it had occurred to NBC that if people are going to watch national news and broadcasts, they would actually tune to the channels that have always been dedicated to that (NBC, CBS, ABC, etc).

gonna be watching game 6 Lakers vs. Celtics...what was he thinking? fail.

[Anistorm]

I'm not surprised about this. Ever since the oil spill started, TWC's been covering it. Everytime I tune in to TWC all they talk about is the oil spill.

NBC <3 Obama

[WeatherWitness]

Whereas this upsets me, it doesn't surprise me. I guess the oil spill can sort of (but very minusculey) relate to weather/the environment. But I still don't think this needs to be shown on TWC.

NBC <3 Obama

And FOX </3 Obama haha. But yeah, a simple press conference on TWC, I must ask of why MSNBC was invented.

Welcome to the MSNBC2 era 

No kidding. And it's not like he's going to tell us anything new. He's going to blame Bush and BP. He'll say that he's been on this since day one and that he's looking for someone's a** to kick. Blah, blah....

[ABC7]

I wasn't sure how relevant to weather the oil spill is, but I wasn't surprised to see TWC cover the oil spill nearly every segment. I do think it is an environmental disaster that needs attention, but TWC needs to focus on the weather more often.

As far as game 6, I'll be watching it, though it does not start until 9:00.

(clears throat and takes deep breath)
HEY, TWC, YOU ARE NOW A  ING WASTELAND NOW! YOU ARE NOT WORTH WATCHING. YOU SANK TO A NEW LOW. YOU COPY ALL OF THE OTHER NETWORKS BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT A SINGLE IOTA OF ORIGINALITY AND YOU LOST FOCUS OF ALL THAT WAS GOOD ABOUT YOU. YOU ARE THE WEATHER CHANNEL. GET OUT MY CABLE LINE-UP OR DISCUSS THE WEATHER. IF I SEE YOU CONTINUING INCESSANT COVERAGE OF SOMETHING THAT YOU, BY DEFINITION, SHOULD NOT BE COVERING, I WILL ENGRAVE BRONZE BUSTS OF MARSHALL SEESE AND DAVE SCHWARTZ, TWO MEN THAT MADE TWC NOT SUCK.

Honestly, it doesn't seem out of place for The Weather Channel to cover the oil spill.  Though not weather, it's still a major environmental issue.
