Weather Channel Pretty Useless Anymore. Don't Really Cover The Weather In Real Time. [View all]

The weather channel has morphed into a useless channel when it comes to knowing what the weather is doing in real time. Only saw honest to goodness live coverage after the tornadoes hit around Christmas. Otherwise all you get is local forecasts on a scroll while interesting weather programs are repeated countless times with plenty of commercials.

Have been trying to find out what is going on near home and in areas that will be traveled soon. There is no info on the weather channel. They used to cover current conditions and forecast travel conditions. Now almost nothing of value and what is reported if very spotty.

Moving to private and corporate weather and replacing the national weather service is a god damned DISASTER.
