WOWT Removes Weather Authority Programming for Cozi

[aandersen93 3]

Looks like WOWT finally eliminated The Weather Authority Channel from 6.2 as on TitanTV, it now lists that as Cozi TV with Cozi programming. I don't really see much loss as all it was was a loop of Accuweather forecasts that didn't even mention Omaha/Nebraska, and the WOWT forecasts on it sometimes went a day without being updated. That makes their line up 6.1 NBC, 6.2 Cozi, and 6.3 Antenna TV.

Was it the national channel with inserts (like the old Weather+) or one of those channel in a box solutions for,early offered by AccuWeather and Baron? A Cozi channel would generate more revenue and provide the children's programming.

Was originally locally originated in the first years, then got the AccuWeather backend, but obviously it quickly became a low priority in these last years.

It appears KTVK in Phoenix may be doing the same with its news and weather subchannels. Enter a Phoenix-area ZIP code in comettv.com, and it brings up Channel 3.2. It's possible that the 3TV news loop will move to 3.3, shoving its nine-year-old "CBS 5 Weather Now" subchannel (which spent eight of those years on KPHO 5.2, now Cozi) into oblivion, since the news channel is where they parked the E/I programming that used to be on 3.1 before they agreed to carry Litton's "Go Time" syndicated block.

 

That would leave KPNX 12.2, which is affiliated with AccuWeather and is a remnant of the "NBC Weather Plus" era, as the remaining weather-only subchannel in Phoenix.
