I think, so that is why TWC is showing it.
And plus TWC has great local forecast music.

I miss "A.M. Weather".
So do I, but, it was only a 15-minute live program that aired from 7-7:15 ET, Monday through Friday mornings, and, was more geared for the aviation community (I had just taken flying lessons, so, knew well what they were speaking of when they referred to VFR/MVFR/IFR conditions)...
Still, if I'm not mistaken one and perhaps two of AMW's OCM's did make the transition over to TWC (along with a man from our office who we knew as John Hope), so, as many say, AMW was in some ways, the forerunner of TWC, since they did recruit more than one NOAA employee...

Before the internet and cable TV, AMW was the only way the layman could encounter intelligent analysis of the weather...or even a reasonable depiction of it. Everyone else was still big smiling suns and angry cloud stickers on a cartoon map. Satellite shots, if shown at all, usually weren't animated.
(Then cable brought Tom Skilling from WGN Chicago.)

I didn't say that we are not in a period of global warming. But don't tell me you know that my house here is going to be under water in 50 yrs. from it, Al Gore.
