Sad thing is I have been saying this for 4 months now over on broadband reports comcast forum.
Does look like weather channel is getting better. They cancelled flick and a forecast or at least it wasn't on friday night. They have been pre-empting alot of planned programming because of all of the severe weather, the oil catastrophe and flooding. Although I'm getting a little tired of 24/7 coverage of the oil catastrophe. Report back when the feds slap bp with a $750BILLION fine.
I agree with you on that, but I'm glad they are covering the oil spill like they are because here in the gulf, the sh#t is fixing to hit the fan and I would like to make sure I'm upwind when it does.
sorry thats from their website dudeactually thats wrong.

Excelsior-based WeatherNation, owned by meteorologist Paul Douglas, is supplying content for a new national 24-hour weather channel on DISH Network. DISH launched the channel, The Weather Cast, on Thursday as a replacement for The Weather Channel, saying the network has strayed too far from actual weather and is demanding unreasonable contract terms. Douglas, a well-known former KARE 11 and WCCO-TV meteorologist, founded WeatherNation in 2008. The company also supplies content for KARE 11's WX Now digital subchannel and video forecasts for numerous websites. The Weather Cast can be seen on DISH channel 213.

Nice to see Paul Douglas is back in the game. I thought it sucked the way
WCCO got rid of him. I used to love his forecasts and the banter back and forth
between him and Don Shelby. He is definitely one of the best Meteorologists out there.

$$$
He most likely wanted more $$ and they didn't want to pay it. There's a lot of that in TV stations. Hire the new kid that can work the PC that just got out of school. The people out there won't care.
Thats nice but you didnt read what I posted...obviously
weather Nation is here in Excelsior, MN (a suburb of Minneapolis)...they supply the content to Dish
so I guess because Dish takes ESPN content ESPN is now in Colorado too?
An office
That is most likely just an office for them to receive mail. They then forward to the dept that needs it. They also receive the email from the site and fwd it as well. So it is just an office for them.

...By Pony Express obviously, since their weather info, and radar is at least 3 hours behind TWC!WeatherNation is supplying the info to Dish (weather cast)
Not now
They just showed Pac NW and I chkd Accuweather radar on line and they look close to same. Now if you are talking about over nite that is very possible.

Well that's a good improvement then, since yesterday when we were watching, at 2:30pm, the radar loop they were showing ended at 10:27 AM!
SE
The SE radar was close to Accu Weather as well. So they seem to be getting things together now.

I used to love the weather channel. Watched it for years. I could watch it just to watch it. Now there is no weather on. I just checked sunday may 23rd at 4pm. They only have weather on for one hour between 4pm and 11pm the rest of it is just shows. They now have movie night on friday night. WTF? Plus they fired all the old timers because they wanted to go younger and why do I want to wake up with AL. Isn't that an NBC show
Not unless they have an address in Colorado.....Perhaps you could contact the Webmaster of that web site and have them fix the contact address to your liking....Thats nice but you didnt read what I posted...obviously

He's been doing the weather thing here in Minneapolis on 11-2 for a while. Some is national but has inserts of local weather from Kare 11
nope. WCCO is owned by the network and they canned a lot of folks for cutbacks
WCCO layoffs | News Cut | Minnesota Public Radio
by the way, WCCO radio is owned by CBS Radio and they have been giving long tenured guys there buyouts of their contract to can them too
why? Seems to bother you more than anything. Just pointing out that the company who supplies the info is based here in MN
And as noted previously the colorado thing is probably an office
