It is ashame how a great weather network, has become a reality show network. Instead they report weather, they show reality shows that has nothing to do with weather. I use too be a faithful viewer of the weather channel for years, My favorite part of the weather channel segment is the local on the 8. Ever since the weather channel started too make changes in 2008 it has not been the same. I don't watch the weather channel as much like I use too since all the changes on the weather channel network. Also it is ashame a lot of good meteorologist was let go from the network. Change is not always good.
