TWC What A Joke!!

[dare2be]

I got confused at first as I thought this thread was going to talk about Time-Warner Cable.

your right it is owned by nbc comcast. al roker is just a joke on today and twc. it is worthless.

TWC will preempt their non weather programing if there is a major weather occurrence.

Well that's thoughtful of them.

 

[rsmithwi]

Yeah their back to airing everything but weather. Remember when they used to show older movies?.

What happened to that Accuweather Channel that was announced would start this fall? I, for one, would like another choice, if dish would carry it.

Winter doesn't start until December 21... That's not to say that it will ever happen..

At least one local sub channel usually has a dedicated weather channel.

HA! we all saw how that turned out for DTV

I remember when DirecTV came crawling back to D* and they promised they would change their programming and get back to "more" weather information vs shows.

not in most smaller markets.

Tampa had two, but last I checked it has none now, they put programming on instead.

I haven't found that to be true at all while traveling the past seven years with Dish.

Which in my case is useless.

you want weather at the snap of a finger, the internet's your friend, the local channels website, accuweather, weather undergound, intellicast, weather.gov (that's the website of the national weather service), weather nation, and of course, The Weather Channel's site, weather.com.

plus there's local TV, Local Radio and NOAA weather radio to get the alerts.

TWC went downhill in the last 5 years anyway.

The Weather Channel does show weather... When Dish or Direct is threatening to drop them.

 

[gowrone]

My local NBC affiliate has one on 3–2.

Astronomically, yes. I usually go by meteorological weather though. That actually goes by the conditions outside.

I'm confused. I thought "Weather Underground" was a left-wing organization that had domestic terrorism in the past. They must go by the same name, I guess.

 

[Tampa8]

Lol those of us old enough or who know history still think of that group when we see Weather Underground.

The question becomes or is, if TWC isn't providing anything meaningful and we all have our ways of getting the weather info we want, why keep them? Direct TV should not have brought them back.

 

[Scherrman]

I always thought the weather channel was worthless once smart phones and tablets became so popular. Why would I go to that channel for weather when I have it at my fingertips at all times?

I agree a 100%
