But they still haven't got rid of "Wake Up with Crap" and the numerous "reality" shows. TWC, I am no longer a viewer of your channel!

Others will be gone to and they will bring in replacements. Kelly and Paul were sent to Weekends and should have not been. Parker went to Hurricane/Severe and so on.

IMHO with interactive cable boxes The Weather Channel will follow TV Guide channel into the hall of obsolescence. :-\

I wonder if there is a doorman to let you in and an guy in the elevator to take you the rest of the way.

That doorman has been reassigned to escorting the laid off out the door.

Going political, ie championing the Global Warming theory, may be hurting TWC. And, soon after last night's Obama/Romney debate, TWC engaged in an analysis of federal energy policies. They're shooting themselves in their corporate feet. And that collaboration with Al Roker is puzzling-- neither party needs that!

I don't see why a healthy discussion on climate change would necessarily be political. I think one side of the political spectrum is making it political.

Kudos to TWC for promoting healthy discussion on environmental issues. I think TWC is just getting rid of the dead wood people who have been there a long time and phoning in the forecast. We have too many "chief" meteorologists on local tv who phone it in on a nightly basis.
