• 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.

Ok some of you will be jumping for joy but I just got a 411/911 phone call from a friend in Atlanta who heard the following.

TWC got knocked off the air tonight due to a power surge the fried some major electrical system.

Right now the computer local forecast stuff is running from what looks to be weatherscan.

But the report I got was that there was a very large bang or boom and then the live broadcast was gone.
 
Yep, your right I just checked it out after I saw your message(since I never watch TWC) and I see a message stating the channel is temp. unavailable. This is of course a DirectTV message but anyway....I wonder what it is exactly that happened?
 
Once upon a time I liked the weather channel, before changed its format and put on all this reality tv crap and that witch heidi cullen who flew in on her broom stick and started hitting everyone over the head with her global warming ugly stick. However, I digress, do not wish not offend, and offer that the twc is still fun at times, especially during tropical season and severe weather event discussions. Weather should be apolitical.:o
 
Well it's back on and there showing When weather changed history
the Flight 90 Air florida crash in DC....... for the umpteenth Time in the last 3 days
 
they need to stop showing fricking reruns, they are really ticking me off, when are they suppose to go off air anyhow?? anyone know?
 
theres a thread here somwhere that TWC is up for sale for $5B so i didnt know when it was sold if it was going off the air...

No, they won't go off the air, this is just a big item up for grabs in a highly active hands trading Broadcasting market. The worth of TWC as a whole( websites, and all included) is about $5 billion. Landmark, who currently owns them, also owns over a dozen newspapers, and 2 local TV stations, WTVF in Nashville and KLAS in Las Vegas(both CBS affiliates). I've heard many rumors of Hearst-Argyle Television being a top contender for the purchase of all 3, if not, then just TWC. So either way, this is going to be a big, big investment for whoever buys them, hopefully it'll take them 100% HD, studio cameras and all.
