In attempts to contact both twc serv in the dallas tx metroplex and to email the weather channel, neither seems to want to hear from paying customers when they are displease either with content of programming or services. Since when does the weather channel think they have become or needed to become tcm or tnn and show non-weather related feature films. If I want to view movies I will turn to tcm or tnn. Some # in upper management probably figured it was cheaper to operate by running old films than to pay weather casters! To the weather channel, "go back to the business you are suppose to be in - weather!"
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

Couldn't agree more! Now they have some show about pyro techs on there every evening. Seriously cannot see a true connection between that and weather that affects me on a daily basis. I used to depend on TWC for weather forecasts, especially in the morning. Not anymore. I used to like Stephanie Abrams when she was a real meteorologist standing out in the wind and the rain covering a landfalling hurricane. Now, unfortunately, she is nothing more than Al Roker's silly sidekick. TWC has tried too hard and come on way too strong with trying to keep up with Twitter, FB, etc. I could careless what someone's hashtag is and what they're saying about weather in their backyard clear across the country. It is about 10% weather coverage now and 90% nonsense that I can find on any other channel. Shame on you NBC for doing away with what used to be a very respected group of TV meteorologists that actually talked about thunderstorms, temperatures, fronts, hurricanes, highs, lows, rain, sleet and hail. Maybe these former meteorologists were not "TV Personalities", but that's not the reason I watched them. I watched them for their weather expertise and fancy presentation had nothing to do with it. That's why they call it "The Weather Channel", not the "The Entertainment with an occasional reference to weather Channel". One more huge complaint. The seldom times I do watch now to try and find a forecast for my local area, there is so much garbage on the screen, it's ridiculous! Miss you Dave Schwartz and Cheryl Lemke and all the rest of you.
When I log onto the weather on my internet, the face book icon and tweet icon and mail icon blocks the information for the individual days forecast. I can't read or discern the information that is behind these icons. How can I correct this problem?
I agree with all here, I can not stand to watch it anymore, used to be a favorite cause they did weather, hope it goes broke.. I think someone ought to start a real weather channel again.Storm stories etc.you make me puke a little goes a long way. I only watch major network TV for football and latenight shows thats it.
I was looking for a place to say exactly the same thing, thanks you all! Should be able to find the weather on the 'weatherchannel'
I agree with all above comments. I used to watch TWC a lot. Now with all the " entertainment" it's a waste of time. The reason is simple. Since NBC bought TWC, the bean counters have had a field day. They now put on prerecorded programing instead of real time weather reporting. Why? Because it is cheaper to run this type of program over and over again rather than have to keep all those on air people on the payroll. Now Roker is on. HMMM... could it be since he is on NBC their killing 2 birds with one stone? Now they even cut the local forecasts during their "documentary series". All you get is the generic national flash through like you get on a satelite system. Counting them beans. Not having to break away from programming to show The Local On The Eights, just allows more time for commercials during the hour. What's happened to TWC is just another case of a good idea getting [censored]d out for a buck!
Also, when you view one of the videos that are of interest to you, they trap you so that you have no choice other than shutting down your computer in order to get out of their site!If anyone knows how to get out of the weather channel videos - please post!
I used to watch the Weather Channel all the time. Now that it's becoming an anything but weather channel I don't watch it much at all! Al Roker should have just stayed on the Today Show... so many of the meteorologists I used to love to watch are gone (they were like family) and trying to find an actual weather report is getting more and more difficult! It's either movies or hours of their repeats of Storm Stories, etc. NBC is not geared towards weather and should have just left TWC alone! It really sucks now!
And they spend every opportunity during commercial breaks kissing Al Roker's ###.
