    I’ve watched WN on a regular basis since 2014. That’s the year I cut cable and WN was the only streaming option I could find. I was also sick of The Weather Channel and the non-stop drama being pumped out of their studios.

    WN may or may not be linked with RAV / Steve Bannon but I simply don’t care. They do weather and that’s it. It’s on when I want (always), gives reasonably accurate predictions, and there is zero political BS or unnecessary drama.

    The article has it correct, the WN is basically a modernized version of TWC from two decades ago and that’s all I need / want it to be.

    We can talk about GCC, I’m no denier, but I don’t need to be having that conversation while I’m trying to find out what today’s weather is going to be. If refusing to put GCC coverage front and center is wrong then every weather app on every smartphone in America is guilty of the same thing.
