What's happened to weather channel?  Sam got the can I guess.  What's all this weather underground stuff?  Has weather on the 8ths gone too? Hate this new format !  The sets is in some old basement with peeling paint and basement junk.    Horrible!

I'm fairly certain they're having trouble.  Sam probably cost too much for the number of viewers he was able to draw.  I know I never once tuned him in on the WC.

@SharkE, I quit watching a few years ago, when they started with all these "shows" instead of covering the weather. Remember when MTV was all music videos?? Then they changed to all those shows.

Verizon Fios no longer carries the Weather Channel and that's a lot of lost viewers.

I like the Weather Channel's local on the 8s. I appreciated it when we travel in an unfamilar city. FiOs lost them and put in Accuweather. There used to be a local weather channel called WeatherScan which was in conjunction with the Weather Channel. Both channels were lost when FiOs decided to not renew contract with The Weather Channel.

Al Roker got fired a couple of weeks ago, so that should save some money.  He was smarting off to some big wig and they canned him.  Havn't heard anything about Sam,  I liked him just fine.  He and Jim C. make/made a funny team.

 

Ok, I had to go to google news to find out.  This was dated Sept 15.

I love the weather channel.  Sometimes my eyes glaze over but I still like it.

Yes, Sam is gone...and I find the Morning Show to be much better. I NEVER watched GMA, so I didn't know him from Adam. I did google him last year, and I was not impressed, with his credentials nor his performance. Woman Indifferent

I don't care for all the stupid shows either!  I call TWC the East Coast weather channel.  I'm in the midwest and if there is a major snow storm coming our way in a few days we're ignored and, instead, they focus nonstop on how it will impact the east coast.  Granted, that is a major area with tons of big cities but at least let us know how the storm will impact us!!!!!  I used to watch TWC a lot and would leave it on for background noise if I was doing other things but I rarely watch it anymore.  (I still love Jim Cantorre though)!!!

Hey girlfriend !  How's it going ? Getting tired yet? LOL

 

 

Guess I can forget the weather we got used too. When we're on vacation first thing we do is turn on the cable to see what to expect and back at home before he leaves for the day we would watch what it was gonna be for that day. Now, it's some ol' dirty basement setting and 2 chumps rattling on and on about stuff that nobody cares about.

 

Nothing is constant in today's world ! I hate that !
