It's also biased to the left, with the "forecast earth" propoganda show.

TWC, forecast the weather. Leave the specialty shows to Discovery channel.

TWC Flub: During the Gulf War TWC was giving weather reports for Iraq. The forecaster started off with, "There's an upper level disturbance over Baghdad..........."
This was during the war.

Does anyone know what's up with Cheryl Lemke nowadays? I absolutely miss her! I don't even really deal with this channel much anymore unless I absolutely have nothing else to do. I'd rather watch the National Weather Service radars and hear that man with the funny voice talk! When they got rid of Cheryl, they lost a devoted watcher.

I agree. I can see them trying new stuff and all but it's not working for me either. Wish they would put storm stories on another channel or do away with them.

I notice Abrams and Bettes are on in the a.m. now and Jim Cantori and some other gal are on in the evening in their former time slot. Heather and Nicole are split up and in different places, too. I always liked listening to them in the morning.
