I really don't think we need another weather streaming network, though I'd be happy if they purchase lots of storm chaser video.

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.
A new weather streaming network

It really comes down to how good they can act when the hurricane winds are actually only 25mph.

It also depends on how they deal with climate change. We going Fox News or Cosmos? I still think Weather Nation is the best. No frills weather for the win!

I've never watched Weather Nation, but I'm not impressed with their social media accounts. During a recent storm system that came thru DFW, they where tweeting viewer submitted pics of a "wedge tornado" that was clearly the underside of a shelf cloud to anyone in the know. To be fair it was a fair imposter, and there was a tornado about 40 miles south of where the pics where taken. But I guess I just hold accounts like these to a higher standard.

Honestly Wx Nation social media is a disaster. Actual streaming broadcast is way better. I wonder if they are totally separate walled off entities. Think Wall Street Journal and their Opinion page, no cross communication. Promotes independent thinking for a newspaper. I'm not sure it's so great for a weather outfit.

WxNation tweeted out a picture of city lights in the distance from Kansas as the northern lights... #Sigh

I'll be honest, I never realized Weather Nation was a legitimate entity that did any sort of broadcasting. All I had ever seen was the aforementioned social media posts. It always seemed like one of those sensationalist weather reporting outlets looking for views and ad revenue.

I had Weather Nation on Dish Network until I started streaming TV about a year ago. WN was ok, but I prefer TWC.
As for Fox Weather, I just hope they don't start marking up NHC maps with Sharpies!
