I remember The Weather Cast and how short lived it was. Wasn't that a record to how short lived a channel was on the air? The Weather Channel made a very quick return.

Please stop asking. The same question over and over again won't bring it here closer if it even is coming.

Are you saying WN is still a maybe on DISH after all this time? Granted it's not confirmed because it's not on air yet.

If we all want this to end, then DISH should finish the job. I'll agree it's a little tiring to go week after week and not see WN when we first got this rumor/news in mid March, and asking the same question.

Amen! That was what I was hoping DISH would do but, that seems unlikely since we're in this thread.

The Weather Channel was good 10-15 years ago. Headline News was good 10-15 years ago. TechTV was good 15 years ago. They had niche audiences who actually cared about the programming. Media companies don't care for niche markets, they want to appeal to larger audiences than: People who want to know the weather in detail, People who want to get news headlines, and People who enjoy technology. In all three cases, the watered down the programming with more "broad appeal" type programming that nobody cares about, lost their core audiences, and didn't gain broad audiences. In The Weather Channels case, they now over-hype everything. OMG the wind got above 1.5 MPH, what should you do? They will soon have a unique name for every cloud system.

G4(who took over TechTV) is now out of business. I am sure there are still people who care about Headline News and The Weather Channel, but I am not one of them.
