[edit] Australia

Was the Australia Weather Channel part deleted? There is no seperate page for it. I think it should be added/readded to this article like many articles which merge countries. Mike 19:30, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Red links

I'm as much of a fan of red links as the next person, but do all these meteorologists merit articles? If so, certainly keep the redlinks. But I'm guessing that not all of these people are notable enough, despite being involved with the weather channel. I don't know much about meteorology, so could someone who does go through and de-link the least important of these? Thanks, Makemi 22:53, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

  • I agree to an extent. I am going to gut all red links on -past-. Should we remove the rest for current or should they stay on? Binarypower 19:39, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Unfortunately I don't have cable, thus I don't watch the Weather Channel (except in hotels), so it's hard for me to say who is likely to merit an article and who isn't. If you have any knowledge of the WC, I'd suggest that you use your discretion on the current people. Makemi 20:08, 4 March 2006

They don't really know there was the program called Charlie the Red Dog. Oh, there is another show featuring a red dog called Clifford, but that is a PBS show and he is mostly a giant-sized dog. What I particularly mean is both of them have the same long ears and the same color of their fur for good measure. I know The Weather Channel ran this show from 1982 until 1991. That's enough for right now.

[edit] Physical location

The Weather Channel's offices and studios are now north and east of the I-285/75 interchange; that area is not considered Vinings by locals. It is in unincorporated Cobb, and is closest to the city limts of Smyrna and Marietta. Most locals consider that particular area to be part of Marietta, and refer to it as such, more than anything else. The more-or-less formal boundary for Vinings in that area is either US 41 or Interstate 75 (though Vinings is pretty much an informal designation that is more a part of Smyrna than anything else any more).

They moved from the Cumberland Blvd. location (which IS in Vinings) several years ago. --Mhking 16:45, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Where is the TWC schedule?

Looks like TWC is now back to almost 24/7 live weather, I believe it started on June 12th and they probably have canceled all those old specials, but I am not sure. The channel could have changed their content of probably giving more airtime to meterologists and the weather.

What happened to List of Current Programming on The Weather Channel schedule? It redirects back to article of the channel. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.54.98.109 (talk • contribs) 01:59, June 14, 2006 (UTC).

The list was at List of current programming on The Weather Channel. As for the redirecting, it was getting hard to maintain -- that page was on my watchlist, and so I saw the edit that did that. Everything else will be ignored here per Wikipedia is not a discussion forum. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 11:19, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I would like to know if there is any comfimation on the new OCM scheduel..

[edit] Past

Whats up with all the red links on the past? This is not needed as was removed previously. Binarypower 01:43, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Removed a lot of unnecessary fat from the article. Mostly red links and commercial schedules Binarypower 01:52, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Speaking of red links, I removed (delinked) most of them overall due to the fact that it was mostly redundant (especially in the "programming schedule" section as well as this one). --Moreau36 20:29, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lexington crash

Does somebody want to either modify or delete the bit of info relating to the ComAir crash in Kentucky? The english is faulty, and I'm therefore puzzled as to how it even relates (but I am intrigued by a possible connection). --{{SUBST:User:Coryma}} 21:08, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deceased?

What is up with alot of people from TWC dieing? Is someone just adding this to be an idiot or are the people at TWC old,brittle, things? I mean look hereand you'll see what I mean. -24.92.41.95 19:14, 2 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] What is up with the new Weather Channel Line UP?

I am really un-happy with the new TWC line up!!! What happend to Hillary Andrews!?!?! The new Day Planner anchors are really boring!! I really wanted Jeff and Vivian to host it!

[edit] Section Clean-up

I have cleaned up and revised the "Local on the 8's" section. Feel free to remove the tag from the section at your earliest convenience. It should read a lot better now. --Bdj95 05:11, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kristina Abernathy "merge"

That's not a merge, it's a delete/redirect. I propose that a real merge should be done, since that was the result of the AfD. Valrith 22:22, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
