The return to weather programming was during the day on weekdays. Prime time didn't change and I'm sure they'll argue that the only way they can remain competitive in prime time is airing shows that ask their audiences to stay for a half-hour, not a few minutes during the commercial break of another program. Advertisers have a hostility to radio-formatted television--just ask people who worked back in the day at HLN, MTV and VH1--and TWC.
