The Weather Channel
Reviews and Complaints

Could it be possible for TWC to offer Cantore some kind of "early retirement incentive" or let him go and pay his unemployment?

It's true--the Weather Channel is DEAD.

So much so that I originally CREATED this account just now to SAY so.

I remember back before NBC, AND before Storm Stories (yes, NBC is responsible for the majority of the ruin, so it seems, but Storm Stories, which came out before then, didn't HELP matters any), back in the 80's-90's, when I was growing up.

ALL THEY DID was show the WEATHER. 24 hours a day. And believe it or not, that's what people STILL WANT. Seriously, all they are now is the Discovery Channel REJECT-SHOW Channel--they can't even come up with shows that seem like they would even MAKE the Discovery Channel, and only make about TWO episodes of each one, anyway, which they show OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

All they do most of the time is show these pointless, over-hyped pieces about unrelated stuff like truck drivers, prospectors, fishermen, iron workers, and yes, even WIND TURBINE REPAIRMEN, of all random things, and they once even showed MOVIES for a brief stint. And what's worse is, like the reviewer said, they continue to show this senseless garbage programming EVEN DURING TORNADO OUTBREAKS.

It happened to me, once, even, during the 'movies' fiasco 2-3 years back--we had a tornado warning RIGHT across the river from us, at NIGHT, and were all scared crapless, and what do we turn on to...? A RANDOM MOVIE ABOUT YACHT RACES.

And even when they DO show the weather, it's almost ALL mindless hype about harmless stuff in 'famous' or 'popular' locations, while IGNORING ACTUAL DANGEROUS WEATHER in 'unpopular' or 'uncool' places.

Like they freak out about a sprinkle or a breeze in NYC or LA, or a similar place, but don't give an eff if there's a major severe weather outbreak in our area (the mid-south), and others similar.

And NOW, on top of ALL of it, they've gotten into the whole 'trying to be cool online' nonsense, and spend most of their live 'weather' reporting time ACTUALLY posting random cat videos, and/or people's generic, whiny tweets about it being cold/rainy where they live.

Seriously, give us BACK the old, 'boring' but KNOWLEDGEABLE meteorologists that only SHOWED US THE WEATHER, and the local on the 8's actually being in a timely fashion, ON THE 8'S OF EVERY HOUR.

WHY, OH WHY, is that so effing hard...? Seriously.

wow..these complaints prove what I said. I put up rabbit ears and get 22 channels - same stuff you see on cable TV for what? $50 a month. No I get it for free! And this is not is a large city. Are they nuts?

Agree! Husband of Yomamabird agrees 100% as do all my surfing buddies. if we want to watch surfing stories...we have better options than TWC. We want to see the weather reports like it was back in the early days.

Everyone we know feels the same way about the Weather Channel. useless noise now and we can't count on them to show us the weather conditions when we need them to. what is it? Hollywood contamination? every insecure person wants to be a star? networks catering to a dumb-downed America? what ever it is...I'm convinced that the majority of former Weather Channel fans have given up. many check occasionally just to find out who buys advertising there and we protest by no longer buying from sponsors of the current Weather Channel programming. what makes the Weather Channel different from all the other crappy programming on cable? nothing anymore.

Same complaints here in the SouthEast about the Weather Channel and their useless drama and weather stories. we want to know the weather please. we tune in occasionally now but only to see if the weather is being told for our area. normally not. we then go to the computer to access local weather...from a non-Weather Channel source. so frustrating. we use to keep the Weather Channel on all day in the background. not for years now. who wants more anxiety? smart people sure don't.

You said it. And it went downhill long before NBC bought it. Completely infantile - for years now. So full of liberal propaganda and those nauseating storyfilms with narrators (including the Italian "wonderboy" from Boston [I think who manages somehow to be an even bigger drama queen every time he's on) that do that annoying downward lilt at the end of every sentence like they're telling a bedtime story to a 3 yr old. Yecch!

Give us back people like Don Buser and Will Annen and Bill Schubert. And let 'em just do the weather for cryssakes. I might even consider going back to having cable if they did...well, maybe.

I didn't know there was an old and new weather channel, but I do know that the present weather channel is worthless. They need to be run off the air.

why does abrams stand with her legs apart not very lady like looks like shes advertising herself turn you off when shes on sorry but no one else stands like that and I wont watch her or channel when shes on if something isn't done

I live in zip code 6014. Why am I not getting my local weather anymore? I should be getting Elmhurst and Chicago O'Hare. Instead I am getting the weather for places down south or Indiana. There was sever weather last night and I was getting the wrong information

Why do you constantly change your website...it's working fine and I finally get used to one way and you change it again, make it complicated and weird...Why? leave it alone ...it's working fine ...

I am writing to complain about the weathers on the 8s thing. Don't ypu mean 10 minutes or longer? It starts with the U.S temperatures then instead of going to our weather it switches to every thing else. The weathernin the South, NBA, etc. When it finally does come on they talk through the entire report. What kind of weather forcast is this? You are going to lose viewers if this continues. I'll probably be the first of many.

February 10, 2025 Redding California, The Weather Channel had a great information local on the eights, and local countywide weather forecast and information of possible storms..etc..but now (we are in a high risk area of wildlife) so this information was very helpful, but now someone has decided that a change was needed. Well now The Weather Channel will not have as many people watching this new uninformed out of our county’s weather forecast and programming. Being back the old format.

March 18, 2022- Where is my local weather?

Without my local weather I have no reason to watch. Local on the 8s doesn't help me. I will be searching for an alternate source of weather after 20 years. You now officially suck.

This new format for weather.com is terrible. It's much harder to read and find what you are looking for. Lets face, most of the people who use this are 50+...stop and think about that. Make it useful to them. I know everyone want to upgrade all the time...but what you had was perfect it needed no upgrade. What you came up with is just to busy...pare it down...or better yet change it back.

I agree, I hate the new 10 day forecast layout. I will probably be looking elsewhere for a forecast layout like the one you just replaced.

Isnt the USA in enough changes without changing our temperatures from fahreinheit to Celsius? why do we change our way of life to accommodate others? I am not happy about changing our temperature to Celsius and neither is everyone I talk too... Change it back

There are a lot of weather people forecasting but only the weather channel gets it right. For years I have used channel 49 to make plans for outdoor events with the weather channel forecast and they almost always work out. Now we have no one to rely on. Please bring back THE WEATHER CHANNEL. Joe

Your new format of Hello America instead of our local weather has allowed me to meet up with some forgotten weather friends-WTOV AND WTRF in the Wheeling, W.Va. Area. I am no longer confident in what you think I should be viewing.

What I want to see on Local on the 8's is exactly that. What's happening in Vegas, Philadelphia, Sacramento is NO help to me. The Weather Channel is no longer that for me. I also have an issue with supplanting Jen, Maria, Mike, etc. who are people we trust to build a forum for Sam Champion. Now, Jim Cantore too! Wow, I guess power plays are the fad of the moment. For me, I need s quick update for my day before I leave for work. You no longer provide that.

Do not like the new local, it is not local. Too many shows on now instead of weather. This dies not help truck drivers one bit. They try to keep in touch with what is going on in bad times. Now they wear tennis shoes. Never done that before. Going to trash.

Very sorry limited local weather coverage

i have watched this channel all during the storm, and i must say crystal egger MUST GO.she is boring
she put me to sleep. i have never seen such a boring person do the weather. her voice is so monotone;she DOES NOT BELONG ON TV. i have actually changed the channel. teach her some emotion pleeeeease...

I'm just glad I Googled skynet about these lottery winnings I keep getting... AND was also told I won a 2011 KIA Sorento- It really sucks for people who REALLY need that money and car- only to find out it a SCAM!

I live in Erie Pa. and I have switched from cable to Direct TV, what a difference in the formats of the weather. I wish I could have the cable weather format back. I hate the weather on the 8's on the dish, I go to work just to see it on cable. PLEASE do something with the format I hate the maps showing the various cities, there's no local radar to look at either. My husband is not happy with the dish format either, as he knows I want to also get cable now . With winter coming up I can't see me keeping the dish's weather format it STINKS.

I suggest you put Stephanie Abrams on your late nite weather broadcast. Her comment this morning about Adam Sandler and his look alike that was on the show, " I wouldn't mind them making me a sandwich" was lewd just as she is! And then shortly after she's on speaking to the "boys and girls" interested in the space program! You need to put some boundries on on this rude, out of control woman who thinks she is the "star" of the weather channel!

Not much more to tell...Knoxville weather to we here in Crossvile and areas is of absolutely no use. You are giving us the WRONG forecast...may as well give us the weather in Detroit. Not muich else to say folks,,,,,,and that's it

Impressed with Shelby Vogel's weather presentation. A real display of enthusiastic love for the subject. Don't bypass this professional.

Please speak about… do not leave your animals where they can not escape. Take them and untie them from trees. Have been watching for 3 hours and no one is speaking on behalf of the animals

After new year, my Premium subscription was dropped after I had for a whole year. Have sent email concerning this problem with no response.

Take off the poisonous chemical ads. SHAME ON YOU!This is the US and NOT 2020. STOP THE THREATS WITH CHEMICALS. IT KILLS PEOPLE!

Whenever I hit the red button to get my local forecast, the zip code that pops up for Crossville, TN is 90245. I enter the correct zip and hit "Submit". Then I can get my local forecast. The next day the very same thing happens. My zip pops up as 90245. What is going on with the local forecast?

I totally agree.

the changes that you have made on your site has me switching to Nav, Canada's weather site after using yours since it first became available. very disappointed. nothing but a bunch of ads. remember the old saying: if it ain't broken don't try to fix it. Cheers.

Channel 1569 WEANH needs to be updated. Today is Saturday, Sept 16/23 and all info -- left side with the cities and right side with the radar -- still shows Monday night, Sept 11/23, information.

nothing but woke propaganda
