Coleman calls The Weather Channel 'a huge disappointment'
Coleman has no kind words for TWC starting after its first 15 years. TWC isn't weather, MTV isn't music, CNN isn't news (Ted Turner not happy with the channel he started).
Not everyone loves The Weather Channel. In fact, one of its biggest critics is the former Chicago weatherman who helped create it.
[...]
"Their Web site is horrendous. Their channel is horrendous. They're all wrapped up in animals, health, gardening and traffic now. They've lost the focus on covering the weather," he said. "(The station's) being run by people who clearly don't understand the mission or the vision."
Coleman's vision is what started the 24-hour weather station in 1982. He knew weather had a profound impact on people's lives, so his idea was "to let people live in the ever-changing, exciting weather of the moment."
