@Cricket - Yes, I am old school as well. That's why The Weather Channel was created. As far as their coverage of eclipse/Harvey being costly, how expensive can it really be to keep the studio open 24/7? I would also imagine their ratings dropped Monday evening when they stopped the continuous weather coverage. You would think they'd want to continue it b/c it's during times like these that must earn their highest ratings....thanks for responding.

Can someone please explain the following to me? Hurricane Irma (Cat 4) is heading for a possible US landfall, and may be wreaking havoc on various islands along the way. Why then, on Monday evening, 9/4, are they showing their canned programming? They're telling us to stay prepared/informed, but shirking their responsibility to be there for us. They need to be going 24/7 until this storm is no longer a threat. As much as I appreciated their round-the-clock Harvey coverage, I am sorely disappointed.
