A few thoughts at NBC's buying the Weather Channel are contained in this column (after the stuff about "Hancock"). Considering what NBC did to Bravo, among other channels, when it took over, I've begun pondering the shows that will end up on the Weather Channel. And realized that one line in the column would have been better if I had said "Forecast-Star Galactica." But I didn't get it quite right when I was writing.
Another suggestion: "Snowfall With Chris Matthews." I can't wait for the onscreen promos for Universal movies during "Local on the 8's." Or the UV index being tied to "Burn Notice."
A rant about the way we're getting shorted on many new DVD releases is here.

I wonder if that means free Weather Channel coverage on my 3.2 digital side channel. I've been enjoying my digital upgrade so much, I'm not missing cable at all (except that I won't be able to watch Project Runway, what with the iTunes feud and the YouTube suit). In Akron, I'm also getting 21.1, 21.2, 27.1 and 27.2 from Youngstown, in case I want to time shift Seinfeld.
