Yeah, when it was almost a solid 23hr showing of weather. But I didn't mind the little tid-bits they showed at like 1-2am though, and even then it was only for 30m-1hr. How a tornado/hurricane is formed, what causes severe thunderstorms, etc. I liked how they changed up the BGM during the holiday's as well, not to mention that the BGM they had up in general was oddly soothing. What I also liked is how they did the visuals for the weather as well. I remember when it was quite generic, but was slowly updated to a pretty neat visual with effects. More than a few times I spent a few hours watching it. :)

But as you have said, it's no longer a weather channel. "WTF!? DAMN IT! I've got some weather crap showing on my "weather channel"!" :noid

BTW The local forecast software/hardware was called Weatherstar. The 90's version was Weatherstar 4000.
