More Weather Channel idiocy

My recollection is TWC was on limited cable systems during its early years.

There was no Weather Channel in 1982.

Are you saying that the Weather Channel is lying about their launch date of May 2, 1982?

Setting aside the hyperbole about all channels being identical (an utterly bogus straw man argument), "standing out" means nothing if you're spending too much and not bringing enough in. Many a business has "stood out" but failed because they didn't deliver what enough people chose to watch. Simple as that.

Good to know we have someone who's an insider at the Weather Channel to set us straight on the operations. Care to point out the flaws in the "straw man" argument?

The straw man is the nonsense about all channels being the same. Pretending that there's no difference in styles and programming between, oh, let's pick a handful of channels, say, Nickelodeon, Lifetime, Fox News, History, Food Channel, Discovery, Comedy Central and USA, actually demonstrates a total disregard for facts.

As for Weather Channel, you raised the statement that they were doing well, thus the burden is on you to prove that point. What I suggested is that remaining in operation does not mean any business is doing well. When I went to a local shopping center recently, one of the businesses was open and had staff visibly working at their desk. The next day I walked buy, and trucks were hauling away just about everything down to the bare walls. Using your logic, they crashed and burned in the seconds before the trucks pulled up, because, hey, the business was operating.
