DirecTv just pulled the plug on TWC

Dam....Ya mean I'm not gonna be able to watch these retards standing outside on the beach waiting for the tsunami wave to hit?

Ya mean they wont be able to hype up a little rain shower into a killer tornado??

Looks like weather is gonna get boring around here.

TWC was actually telling people to call their Congressman to prevent the loss of a "life saving" service. Corse, yer Congressmans aide is gonna tell ya that they don't meddle in private company affairs, and anyway, your federal tax dollars go to the NOAA and its National Weather Service. NWS maintains a network of transmitters around the US to broadcast timely weather information and warnings. NOAA has a web site that live streams data. They own the satellites and radar stations.

In fact all TWC does is repeat this Free NWS information at a healthy charge for their time. Now, ya haffta wait for it if you happen to want to check

the weather when they are broadcasting one of their TV shows. Plus, if you have DirecTv you probably have the internet. 24hrs a day 7 days aweek you can check the weather on the internet.

Nice thing about it is that DirecTv has replaced TWC with a channel called WeatherNation. WN is just like TWC was in the beginning. All they show is weather.

And, doesn't cost as much as TWC. This may keep my bill from DirecTv from increasing.

Kudos DirecTv.

If you are truly worried about storm coverage, run up to radio shack, or order a battery powered NOAA weather alert radio online. After you program your area code into it you can be pretty much assured that even if the storm gets bad enuff to take out electricity in your area that you will get timely information about the weather.

 Troll has re-emphasized Cavalin's insightful post.  Thumbs up to Troll.  Hmmm, who else would do something like that?

 We've got DISHTV and they come with their own set of wonders.  I wonder, for example, how many channels of pure sales pitches DirecTV has?  DISH has a bunch.

That's one that can't be explained! Nope! Troll ain't a leg (or knee) man. Instead of legs, Troll is a tit man. That's right... The bigger, the better.

Check out the archival pages for the "Tits For Troll" thredd. We ran that concurrently a few Kersmusses ago when the "Toys For Tots" drive was happenin'!

Funny how a mans taste in wimmen changes over the years ain't it?
