to be my "default" channel, but it got increasingly silly. Then they started that stupid naming of winter storms. When the (Direct TV?) dispute that resulted in Direct TV cutting TWC from their lineup and TWC company man and big star Jim Cantore did a commercial alleging that people would die because they couldn't get TWC I finally stopped watching. Now I look online at forecasts from Accuweather (and sometimes Weather Underground).
