Weather Channel adding movies!! Huh??

[BluLobsta]

Well, this is the last thing I thought I'd see on TWC, but they've decided to start running feature films on Friday nights. This week is "The Perfect Storm". Hmm, how many weather-related movies are there anyway? There may be a lot of repeats...Twister and The Perfect Storm over and over and over...

How long do you think it will remain on weather theme movies, I've seen speciality channel branch out quickly in the last few years. Lonestar was all about western when it started here in Canada, very soon you could find anything on there except westerns

I'm surprised they hadn't done it already. Everyone knows by now to flip it over on the 8's and get what you need in 30 seconds. I would think they have to do something to keep people tuned in longer.

I don't think Weather Channel is going the path of MTV or Cartoon Network since movies like Perfect Storm pretain to weather. It's not like Cartoon Network showing live action shows and movies with cutting back on the cartoons(and the ones they do have now that are cartoons majorly suck and no Toonami, Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, and just anything that helped out Cartoon Network to be awesome in the past). MTV with either VH1-type shows or just having people doing dumb stuff but no music videos and not even movies pertaining to music.

I say these movies on The Weather Channel are either A. To get them more ratings or to pass the time.

Screw the 8's, I'm busy on the 8's.

I check the laptop, or the iPhone when I want the weather.

If they are going to show movies I can see "The Day After Tomorrow" getting heavy rotation on that channel.

Travel Channel shows City Slickers and Family Vacation constantly.

I just look outside!

Apart from crazy people, who watches the weather channel and can you get it in HD?
