Verizon FIOS dropped Weather Channel. Will add new AccuWeather Network

[T J]

The Weather Channel has been a Radical Leftist propaganda site for Global Warming Hysteria. It was losing viewers.

Interesting to note that Verizon Fios has dropped the Weather Channel and added the new AccuWeather Network.

Iirc, TWC was one of the early cable networks that got picked up by most carriers. Significant news that they got axed.

Dear Valued Verizon Customer,

Verizon's agreements to carry The Weather Channel and Weather Scan have expired, and have not been renewed. In today's environment, customers are increasingly accessing weather information not only from their TV but from a variety of online sources and apps.

Verizon is therefore pleased to launch the new AccuWeather Network, which will be available on FiOS® TV on channel 119/619 (HD) and on our free FIOS Mobile App starting March 10, 2015. Verizon will also provide the FiOS TV WeatherBug "widget" application, which features hyper-local weather, on FiOS TV channel 49. WeatherBug can also be launched by pressing the "widget" button on the FiOS TV remote.

Sincerely,

Your Verizon Team
