I would like to briefly get on my soapbox (once again) regarding the ridiculousness of the Weather Channel (TWC). TWC has decided that they need to break from their dying traditional of simply showing (GASP!) the weather, and have decided that for some reason their viewers are tuning in for weather movies?! They have decided to start airing Friday night movies (starting October 30th).... link. I am outraged by the continued effort to turn TWC into "just another stupid station", because at this time it is one of the only channels I watch. I like the quick look at what's going on with the "Local on the 8's". I like the weather updates round the clock. I love the "Tropical Updates". I enjoy their radar, their tornado warning notices... the stories about weather related events, impact and recovery... but their increasing "need" to expand the length of programming with their "When Weather Changed History" or "Storm Stories"... or worse yet, the preposterous "Wake Up With Al" morning TALK SHOW!!! What are these programmers thinking?! Weather, people! We are tuning in for WEATHER, and if that goes away, SO DO WE! Get your heads out of the money tree and back into the clouds where they belong!
