Please let Al Roker move to Atlanta and do a three hour shift like the rest of the weather people do. I want to see the weather not Al’s Buddies and I did not want the Olympic coverage on there either, it sucked. The Today show is the today show, not the weather channel.

Glad to know I’m not alone in my utter disgust with TWC since it’s been GE’d. Roker isn’t even a meteorologist go back to your co-flakes Matt and Merideth. They got rid of the heart of the channel (Dave, Kristin, Sharon, et al) and replaced seasoned meteorologists with “fresh faces” like Bouncing Betty and Adam the Woodchuck (he must be some exec’s nephew; nothing else explains any station hiring him.) There is so much more propaganda like perpetuating the global warning hoax. Repeat after repeat in the afternoon of canned programming during which there is no local forecast – which, by the way half of the time isn’t on the 8’s. More often it’s on the 9’s and sometimes on the 10’s. Hey it’s Corporate Weather now so lies are part of the product. Glad to see Bill Kennelly is on tonight. He and Kelly Cass were the ultimate anchor pairing. Oh excuse me…I just had to get up and switch the channel the Woodchuck came on reporting from Arkansas…Stephanie Abrahams is way too over the top and they’re over doing Jim Cantore. I don’t want movies, news headlines or market updates, I don’t care if Kate Hudson is a fan – John Hope must be spinning in his grave. PS Carl Parker stop being so preachy and just do the damn weather.

Well, this is new one on me. TWC is treating the earthquake disaster in Haiti as though it is was a hurricane. Since when is an earthquake related to weather? Enough said.

I used to watch TWC. I can’t believe they ruined the show by adding Al Roker to the line up.
All the promotions for commercial advertisement for this guy makes me sick.
Anyone honestly believe the celebs used, would actually endorse this guy if they were not
getting paid well to do so? For me I just look out the window and read the thermometer at 6 A.M.
Less painful that way.

Love Abrahms,Bettes, and the rest of the meteorologists on TWC. Roker just stinks it up!

TWC was great for years, but now it’s turning out to be like almost every other TV network, cable or otherwise. Nothing new. Nothing original. Nothing worth watching.

I agree with a lot of the above posts. TWC has sunk to a new low in trying to be an entertainment channel instead of a weather resource. The “Wake Up with Al show” is an insult to any breathing human being.

The other day I changed to TWC so as to watch some commercials. Every so often, a weather forecast would pop up. After doing some timing, I discovered that TWC is airing about 22 minutes of commercials, promos and self adulation for every hour of air time. I am expecting them to reach 30 minutes of ad time every hour very soon.

I, for one, watch TWC for the forecast on the 8’s as infrequently as possible in order to avoid their ad’s, movies and pseudo documentaries (It could happen tomorrow, storm stories, high sea rescues, ad nauseum). I expect TWC to sink and disappear soon.

I’m hoping the Weather Channel has learned a lesson and will start the New Year, without Al Roker.

How long is the Weather Channel going to allow this to go on?? It is clear that everyone can’t stand wake up with Al !!!!! So please take him completely off of the Weather Channel, and let Stephanie do the morning show alone if you must have a morning show.Stephanie is the best.
