Steve Bannon is sadly already ahead of you:
The two networks’ shared ownership has alarmed some meteorologists, who say that WeatherNation is helping to legitimize the extreme viewpoints aired on Real America’s Voice, occasionally sharing its forecasts on the political network; at times the networks feature the same advertisers. These critics also argue that in its own coverage, WeatherNation fosters climate change skepticism by shunning any mention of the established links between human-driven climate warming and the disasters the channel covers, thus discouraging viewers from considering the consequences of climate change

TIL IBM owns the Weather Channel.
Weather that is a good decision or not remains to be seen
What is your forecast about it?
Please don’t make Weather Underground shitty. It’s the only weather website that gives accurate information around here.
They’ve been shitty since TWC bought them. Maybe a little before when they killed their old web interface which was informative and fast and replaced it with a new design that was difficult to read information, and worst of all, slow as fuck. That’s about when I stopped subscribing.

But that is where I get all the news I need.
