THE WEATHER CHANNEL ADDS FEATURE FILMS TO NETWORK SCHEDULE
The Weather Channel is going to start airing feature films, movies which are in some way weather themed, beginning with The Perfect Storm. Remember the days when you could turn on MTV and see music videos? Well it appears the days where you could tune into the Weather Channel for weather forcasts might be soon behind us as well.Lineup:
- Oct 30th - The Perfect Storm
- Nov 6th - March of the Penguins
- Nov 13th - Misery
- Nov 20th - Deep Blue Sea
During “The Weather Channel Presents…,” viewers will continue to receive their localized weather forecasts throughout the film, where it can be seen on the lower portion of the screen in addition to any severe weather alerts or warnings.(via)
