Here's what I had a problem with. When news came out that they might be dropped, they started a whole campaign bashing the WeatherNation network saying that if they take over, lives will be more at risk. What kind of meteorologist does that? I'll answer that for you, none. NBC Universal owns the Weather Channel. NBC had their on-air personalities do YouTube videos begging people to not let them be put off the air. It's halfway pathetic in my opinion. Also, some people may be annoyed by their political views that are shown on the station. I understand that. But when topics are brought up on air and everything is done live, it's very difficult to not let your personal views cut in. The main problem, as many here have stated, is that the Weather Channel was getting away from what brought them here (24/7 weather coverage). Now they are paying the price and hemmoraging money in the process. WeatherNation has multiple MSU graduates on air and is based out of Minnesota.
