The Forecast Looks Grim
The Weather Channel sees storms a'coming
 


Now that NBC Universal owns The Weather Channel, what do they plan on doing with all the hard-hitting subjects that the station reports on?

'Kill em, of course. The Weather Channel's one original program dealing with climate change, Forecast Earth went off-air last Wednesday, ironically during NBC's so-called Green Week. The Forecast Earth staff was also axed entirely, representing the station-wide firings that will eventually get rid of 10% of the network's workforce. So far, 80 people have been let go, but Forecast Earth was the only program that suffered a complete bulldozing.

Because hey, with all the immediate bad news we hear every day about the economy and war in Iraq, who wants to think about the long-term effects of global warming anymore? Besides Al Gore, of course.

Good Riddance. Now if someone will buy out NBC and implement a mass overhaul, truth might be revealed.

What are you talking about (quentin bell). I think it's a terrible shame that NBC cut the Forecast Earth program. Of all the things they had to cut back on, they decided to hit a program informing people of the massive environmental problems being caused by humans and how to fix the problem? Really it's an outrage. And during their "Green Week"? Wow, to think once respected NBC…
