NBC?s Acquisition Of The Weather Channel Likely To Anger Founder
2008-06-03 17:55:00 Remember John Coleman? He’s the original founder of the Weather Channel that wants to sue Al Gore for bringing climate change front and center — something he perceives as a hoax on the grandest of levels. He’s also disgruntled because the network he built is pushing the environmental agenda with green-themed reports and series. “They’re ...

Weather Channel: Different Stokes For Different Folks
2008-05-07 01:50:00 Weather Channel bigwigs tried to keep the lid on a sexual harassment arbitration finding in favor of the harassee, Hillary Andrews. But The Smoking Gun has the goods. TMZHe yelled. He bullied. He cornered her. He struck her on the arm.And that was the previous weatherbabe trapped on-air with the popular high-rated weatherpsycho Bob Stokes. When she complained, management sent her to the equivalent of Siberia - overnights. The Weather Channel brass protected Stokes by ignored the lady's complaints which "emboldened him" for her replacement: Hillary Andrews. A sexually stoked Stokes: "Will you lick my swizzle stick?"It tortures me when you wear those high heels." He followed her into the women's dressing room.Leered at her chest. Obsessed, scorned Stokes sabotaged Andrews on the air and more. Again the Weather Channel backed Stokes by not renewing Hillary's contract and sticking her on the overnight shift while the contract clock ran out. The serial sexual psycho Stokes was blown o...

Prominent dingbat wants to sue Al Gore for fraud
2008-03-14 21:52:00 Hoo boy. The founder of the Weather Channel wants to sue Al Gore for fraud, hoping a legal debate will settle the global-warming debate once and for all. John Coleman, who founded the cable network in 1982, suggests suing for fraud proponents of global warming, including Al Gore, and companies that sell carbon credits. “Is he committing financial fraud? That is the question,” Coleman said. That may be a question, but I assure you, it’s not the question. “Since we can’t get a debate, I thought perhaps if we had a legal challenge and went into a court of law, where it was our scientists and their scientists, and all the legal proceedings with the discovery and all their documents from both sides and scientific testimony from both sides, we could finally get a good solid debate on the issue,” Coleman said. “I’m confident that the advocates of ‘no significant effect from carbon dioxide’ would win the case.” I can only im...

Media Matters
2008-01-03 16:10:00 Clear Channel Tee Vee prez & ceo Don Perry bails (or is pushed) from his gig after two years to "pursue the next phase of his broadcast career." Fox BusinessRadio Daily News names no one as 2007 radio person of the year. But 2008's winners, the envelope please, are: The fired and laid-off employees of Clear Channel, CBS Radio, Citadel, Emmis, Cumulus and other large, medium and small market radio stations who have devoted their immense talents to broadcasting.""The recipients of this year's award are not victims, although many have suffered from poor management and programming decisions in an industry that, as a whole, but not necessarily individually, has lost its way in the dizzying maze of technological advances in audio, video and the Internet that have occurred during the past five or more years...The streets of the broadcasting industry are paved with stories of individual and collective failures that have led to great successes. It is the hope of RDN that those who hav...

Founder of the Weather Channel discredits himself on global heating
2007-11-09 23:35:00 John Coleman is the meteorologist for San Diego’s KUSI, but he’s also the man who founded - The Weather Channel. And today he posted a commentary about global heating that reads more like an irrational screed than a reasonable critique of the science and politics of global heating. Over the course of his commentary, Mr. Coleman repeatedly claims that scientists manipulated climate data to “scam” us and the government into believing that global heating was rapid and largely human-caused: “Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data back in the late 1990’s to create an allusion (sic) of rapid global warming” “[PhD research scientists] all look askance at the rest of us, certain of their superiority…. They are environmentalists above all else.” “So when these researchers did climate change studies in the late 90’s they were eager to produce findings th...

Founder of Weather Channel: Global Warming is 'the Greatest Scam in History
2007-11-08 16:27:00 John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel calls global warming the "greatest scam in history". Hat Tip: Jimmy Akin.I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an allusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the “research” to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.Later he says:I do not oppose environmentalism. I do not oppose the political positions of either party. However, Global Warming, i.e. Climate Change, is not about environmentalism or politics. It is not a religion. It is not something you “believe in.” It is science; the science of meteorology. This is my field of life-l...

Press Releases: Discover Channel and Weather Channel
2007-10-03 22:06:00 A couple of press releases have come across my desk recently (and by desk I mean in my e-mail box) for a pair of show that look interesting. First premiering this Sunday October 7th on the Discovery Channel at 9:00 is Koppel on Discover: Breaking Point where Ted Koppel looks at our current incarceration system and what need to get fixed because lets face it, housing costs per inmate is growing higher, not to mention the amount of inmates, and the rehabilitation in its current state isn’t working because people keep on going back in again and again.The other item is a much lighter fair with the Weather Channel launching a high definition channel with a new and returning program. Seriously, how cool would watching a hurricane or tornado in high-def be? Not that I would be able to find out because I’m not cool enough to have a HDTV. One show is Epic Conditions now in its second season which also has its own broadband channel which you can find at http://www.weather.com/epic1. The n...

2007-08-30 00:42:00 I wasn't able to find building images or renderings, but in noteworthy news, The Weather Channel recently announced plans to seek LEED Silver certification for its new, 12,500 sf HD studio. According to Debora Wilson, president of The Weather Channel, "Constructing a new facility in a way that is environmentally responsible sends a strong message about our commitment to helping people learn more about the issues that the public faces in regards to the environment. We are extending our ongoing mission of keeping our viewers informed and safe during severe weather to a similar role in regards to matters of safety and well-being for life on this planet." The Weather Channel's green building plans coincide with an overall corporate goal to be more environmentally conscious and some planned features include energy efficient lighting, low-VOC paints and sealants, and water saving fixtures and plumbing. Completion is expected by February 2008.
