It's pretty much a global pastime. Especially after 25+ years of being conditioned to expect to be able to turn on TWC and see current weather information at some point in the next few minutes? It may not be entirely logical, but I think it's entirely predictable to think that they would have lost some goodwill from their loyal-but-undesirable viewership, particularly given how candid they've been about the fact that they're more interested in viewers that advertisers want than people tuning in to check the weather. -- David J.
