    "The AccuWeather Network debuted Tuesday on FiOS, promising "all weather, all the time" coverage packaged with local weather and severe weather alerts but "without reality-TV fluff," according to a statement from the State College, Pa.-based media company. Verizon is the launch partner, but AccuWeather plans to pitch it to other pay-TV companies."

    "Without reality-TV fluff!" and "all weather, all the time"

    Everything old is new again. I welcome it, missing the old TWC.

    Thoughts on the change?

    Furthermore, the Weather Channel is owned by NBC, I believe. Sticking to NWS and NBDC is, as you state, the best avenue. I have the bouys closest to me "bookmarked" for easy retrieval and quick view. I can get a clear idea what to expect about 75% of the time. Good enough for me.

    I like the content idea - real without the fluff, for almost everything, weather included.

    I haven't watched ESPN in ages. I miss the old Sportscenter. They didn't have 10 minute sections on lebrons 7 year old kids tweets and johnny manziels hair stylist talking about his parties.

    PBS. Its the last bastion.
