The Weather Channel is over-the-top. I know it’s a channel dedicated to weather, but… it’s weather. Don’t need the dramatic, scary music when the Local on the 8s comes on, don’t need the polished production or the gravitas.
OK, it makes sense to be tuned into the emotions of reporting a devastating storm, but these folks go for the production value, like it’s the most interesting stuff in the world, like it needs to be reported the same way as 9/11 or walking on the moon. I guess that’s what geeks do, though. I guess we should be thankful that they’re into it, and they seem to love what they do.
By now, it’s probably a pretty nice gig for Cantore and Abrams and the rest.
