NBC Will Control The Weather

July 6th, 2008

I saw this story tonight, and I honestly don’t know how this will work out for the viewer. Are they going to keep the focus of the network on reporting the weather, or will we be seeing runs of Twister and The Perfect Storm from time to time?

NBC Universal and private equity firms Bain Capital and Blackstone Group said on Sunday they agreed to buy The Weather Channel from Landmark Communications.

Terms of the widely expected deal were not disclosed, but sources familiar with the transaction said the price tag was just under $3.5 billion.

I just hope they don’t lose their focus, because I’m not sure a Law Order: Special Weather Unit would work either.
