Title: Comedian buys The Weather Channel
Post by: Blicj11 on March 23, 2018, 08:00:28 PM
So back in 2015, when The Weather Channel was not part of IBM's purchase of WeatherUnderground and other weather-relates entities, the television channel continued on its merry way until now. A comedian has just purchased it. So perhaps it will be entertaining and funny rather than bloated and non-responsive, like WU has become.

But, but, but, . . . . . .  Surely you jest! . . . . . . . .  :o

Alas, a quick check of the web confirms this extremely bizarre development.

If someone had been able to get me the news headlines of today and shown them to me 2 years ago, I wouldn't have believed any of it.  Gasp, I still can't! (http://www.canebas.org/WeatherCat/Forum_support_documents/Custom_emoticons/eek-sign.gif)

Absolutely, positively, beyond any possible doubt, . . . . . the Second Coming is way overdue!! (http://www.canebas.org/WeatherCat/Forum_support_documents/Custom_emoticons/Angelic_smiley_small.gif)

Oh well, . . . . . Edouard (http://www.canebas.org/WeatherCat/Forum_support_documents/Custom_emoticons/scratch_head.gif)

Comedians buy the Weather Channel, clowns become president... anything is possible these days.  [rolleyes2]
