Oh, For The Days When It Was Jim Cantore Being Battered By Storms 24/7

Sam Champion and Al Roker's shows have been dropped and so have the reality shows as the Weather Channel says it's going back to just covering the weather. This is what happens when you lose a lot of audience and cable systems are dropping you left and right (my system dumped them and added Accuweather instead). The questions are 1) how does a company blow a franchise like that? They were synonymous with breaking weather stories, ABC in particular has shown that severe weather news gets ratings, yet they persisted in filling the schedule with reality shows and movies; and 2) In an era when you can get up-to-the-second weather information on your phone any time, is there a need for a TV channel where you have to wait for the same information?
