I wish the weather channel was 24/7 again with less commercials and less shows with big machinery and plane crashes. Strangest Weather on Earth is my favorite show. 🌪

I wish the weather channel would go back to 24/7 weather and bring back the Jazz Music along with the 2 minute local forecast instead of the dumb shows but since this channel has too much shows i watch WeatherNation Fox weather and Accuweather because they are what this channel used to be with no dumb shows.

Its great to see this. I recorded weather events for TWC in the early 90's through Simon on a Sony camera 3/4". They were fun times. Always loved TWC.

The only reason that I still watch the Weather Channel ...Jim Cantore. Interesting how the reporter said that the weather channel would never get away from their primary focus .🥺 Is that why in 2024, they have shows about salvage companies, lumberjacks, gold prospecters and air crash investigations ? What do they have to do with weather ?

Pretty soon, The Weather Channel will be 39! (But not to be so confused with Wheel of Fortune. That was shown a few months after May 1982.)

Weatherproofing America since 1982. Been watching since day 1. I won an ice scraper in a contest in 83. I still have it!

Wow! Would love to see a picture of that!
@michaelp772 2 ай бұрын
@andrebernier I wish I could upload a picture. It was a 12 days of Christmas contest, and the grand prize was a Panasonic VCR. After all these years, my ice scraper is probably unique. It's sky blue, shaped like a long triangle, has a magnifying glass at the end, and has the TWC logo.
