Cut the cord a few years ago. TWC is the only thing I actually miss. If you try to stream it, they ask for your cable/satellite provider. Any way to watch on Smart TV or iPad?
Yes, go to YouTube and type in Weather Channel Live. You can also find a variety of news stations that broadcast live on YouTube
I think you can go to their website (weather.com) without needing to provide a cable or satellite provider. Will that work for you?
does anyone know who the “Jeff” is the folks chatting on youtube are talking about? never mind, I asked them: Jeff is a storm chaser that “everyone is obsessing about”

Got it! Thanks so much.
I would miss having the Weather Channel on TV except for TWC’s moronic habit of assigning pet names to storms, under the impression that pulls in viewers.
There’s a lot to be said for getting your weather info straight, from the National Weather Service. Forecasts, live radar, climate data etc.
Works for me.
This^^.
TWC was great for weather insight. Back in the 90s & early 2000s. Now they’re mostly an entertainment / disaster porn channel. The BS to signal ration is so bad I can’t even honestly label them as “infotainment”. They’re just entertainment.
NWS all the way. All the info; none of the hype. And zero shark-jumping or advertising.
If you’re American you’re paying for it; you might as well use it.
sometimes a bit of disaster porn is just what I’m looking for.
How much would you pay me for a web-cam in my bedroom?
You better be using the telephoto lens.
And a stunt double.
That would be quite cunning.
But if he did those things it’d be less of a disaster. Maybe we need a linguist to help us parse this out.
A-Double-What-Now?
Don’t tell me you’re one of those old fashioned guys who performs his own stunts?!
I’d like The Weather Channel, too. The old one back.
I loved it when they gave weather, more weather, and nothing but weather. I used to to plan my cross country trips, and then when I got to my hotel, the soothing sounds of Jim Cantore and the Weather Babes was a calming influence after the trip.
Plus, they had great commercials.
Now they show weather movies, and barely weather-related programming such as Highway Thru Hell. Now, I like heavy wreckers, but I WANT MY WEATHER BACK! I want to know the forecast, the current conditions. It doesn’t seem that they even show locals on the 8s anymore. You can probably get better weather from MTV.
