Title: Weather Channel to cover: Country Music awards?
Post by: Nick on June 04, 2011, 02:54:36 PM
From Jen Carfagno's facebook page:

"OK...I am so excited! Just got word that I am going to Nashville to cover the CMT Music Awards next week! Beyond cool! Actually, it's going to be HOT...no end in sight for the heat!"

CMT's website says it's Wednesday June 8 at 8 PM Eastern.

I'm sorry, you said what now? They should send Jim, he loves country music, but he's on assignment or vacation.

Did I just read that right? Country Music awards?

/me takes off eyeballs
/me washes them in bathroom sink
/me puts eyeballs back on

I did read that right. But...don't they have weather to cover this weekend other than THAT?

LOL.

Seriously though, what's the big deal? They've been not covering weather for years. ;)

Well, I guess this is no surprise. I really have nothing else to say on the subject. :hmm:

I am not surprised. The Weather Channel has become a glorified reality TV and entertainment station. Just like MTV really doesn't show music videos anymore, TWC hardly shows weather now.

Okay, how are we going to correlate weather to the CMT Music Awards?  It wouldn't surprise me if they play a special dose of country music on the LF that day.  There actually was a time that I seriously considered being on TWC as a meteorologist.  I think I made the right decision to switch to the NWS.

That's all I have to say about this.

I, too, wanted to do the weather for TWC, but thanks to them, I don't have a place to be where I can discuss weather forecasts and nothing more. As such, I'm stuck as to what I want to do. :(

Since I like country I actually might find this interesting. Anyways perhaps they are going to try and relate to the Nashville floods?

I don't really get what the big deal is, TWC has been going down for awhile and this adds to the misery.

Think of this as a spinoff from FaaF.. they want views and covering they think covering the CMAs will give them more $$

TWC has made a obvious concerted effort to not cover actual weather, and become an entertainment/reality channel.  :rolleyes: I'm surprised that they don't simulcast the Country Music Awards on TWC.  :P

I don't see how this is anything new. TWC has been sending OCMs to cover other non-weather-related entrainment events for years. See the Super Bowl and Kentucky Derby.

I can see them covering this to give viewer a sense of how Nashville has recovered from the floods that affected the Grand Ole Opry.
