Weather

Pros: Accurate, complete, current
Cons: frequent commercials

Ever wonder if your local weatherperson is sitting in a room without windows? Well, here is weather that is accurate (what a concept, eh?), up to the minute, interesting, long-range and done without all the cute and overdone silliness that seems to...

Pros: 24 hour access
Cons: sometimes the report is not as localized as I would like it

I live on the Southeastern coast. When things flare up during hurricane season the weather channel is where I am at. It gives you up to the minute details of severe weather and all the latest storm alerts and warnings. During hurricane season they...

Pros: fairly accurate, all the weather you want, all the time
Cons: can't think of any

When I first got cable TV, I loved the weather channel. I still do. It came in as a close second, right after that channel that lists all the channels. I know you know what I'm talking about here. My mom thought I was crazy, but I thought it was pretty...

Pros: You can see the weather any time you need it
Cons: Not the most entertaining thing in the world

The Weather Channel may not be the most entertaining channel on TV, but it is one of the most helpful. Before I go out, I make sure I check The Weather Channel just to make sure that there are no storms heading my way. This channel has saved me a lot...

Pros: Very informative, up-to-date
Cons: What's up with this Dave Schwartz guy and this P. Allen Smith guy?

Whoever it was that decided to have a channel devoted to weather 24 hours a day is smart. I do watch this channel to see not only what is going on in my part of the world, but let's say there's a chance of severe weather somewhere. For me, it's...

Pros: Decent forecasts, timely, always there, real meteorologists
Cons: Hype, Is John Hope still alive?!

Ok, I will admit I am a frequent viewer of the Weather Channel, but I always have to wonder whether or not the meteorologists get bored. Let's face it, what they do is not the most exciting work in the world unless there is a disaster. However, the...

Pros: Intelligent, Experienced staff. 24 hour a day coverage.
Cons: Too many commercials, not enough weather.

I must admit, I've been watching the weather channel for many years now and it is a very helpful source for weather information.

The on camera meteorologists are experienced and well qualified. Most have at least a B.S. in meteorology or a...

Pros: Accurate and easy to understand weather information
Cons: None

Since I love to chase storms, I rely on fast and accurate weather information. The Weather Channel (TWC) delivers. I can turn on the set at 2 A.M. or 2 P.M. and get all the information that I need quickly and in easy to understand terms. Although I have...

Pros: convenient, good weather coverage,
Cons: repetitive, a bit boring

If you are a weather nut, the Weather Channel is absolutely perfect for you. If you aren't, I seriously doubt that you will find the weather channel all that interesting for more than a few minutes. Basically, as the name indicates, the weather channel...

Pros: weather, weather and more weather
Cons: amateur hour every hour, local forecast generally unavailable, poor quality documentaries

As an almost avid amateur meteorologist, I once spent many hours each week watching TWC. That was, until I received my internet connection. These days, I generally visit "weather.com" as my source of weather information. When I do tune into TWC, I am...

Pros: weather is real
Cons: annoying anchors, interminable ads

As a weather junkie, I used to tune in to the weather channel for my background companionship. It was all weather, all the time. But that was the good ol' days, before they went commercial. Now it makes for another channel where you can water the plants...

Pros: Great information; local weather on the eights
Cons: No need to watch for any longer than an hour at a time

The Weather Channel has always been a great idea, and has grown considerably since its inception back in the 1980s. Granted, most people will not spend a full hour of their time watching two meteorologists banter about the weather from Portland, Maine to...

Pros: Accurate forecasts.
Cons: none

A few months ago I moved to Michigan from Florida. Down in Florida you pretty much know what you're going to get when it comes to the weather, but up here it changes so much it's hard to stay on top of things. Add to that the fact that every local...

Pros: Local forecasts,storm warnings and reports,travel advisories
Cons: Some meteorologists do not make good TV personalities

Cold,hot,rain,snow,should I bother to even get up? My daily routine includes tuning in the Weather Channel as soon as my eyes can focus in the morning. I depend on the local weather portion to get me headed in the right direction for the day. Living in...

Pros: Accurate and convenient
Cons: Not as great as it used to be

I used to live by The Weather Channel. I turned it on first thing in the morning to see what I should expect for the day. However, I have found while the quality of the graphics goes up, the quality of forecast goes down. Perfect example: I just...
