The Weather Channel/YMMV

• Crowning Moment of Awesome: The channels' coverage of most hurricanes could qualify - and definitely their coverage of Hurricane Katrina.
• Crowning Music of Awesome: the tunes played over "Local on the 8s", which could range from stock light music, odd tunes including the instrumental theme to Clorox 2 ads in the 1980's, to well known instrumental rock tracks like "Oscillate Wildly" by The Smiths.
  • They've recently been playing things from Ben Folds and Two Door Cinema Club too.
    • The song often used during major hurricanes
• Fun for Some: One of the ultimate examples of a default "start channel" on a cable system and one that is watched for hours by those both fascinated by weather systems or not energetic enough to change the channel.
• Harsher in Hindsight: The very first episode (as originally scheduled) of It Could Happen Tomorrow... which was titled 'New Orleans Hurricane'. It had been scheduled to air a month after the 2005 hurricane, and was eventually released as Katrina: The Lost Episode.
• Memetic Mutation: Jim Cantore's reaction to thundersnow during the Chicago Blizzard of February 2011, enough to warrant comment on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
• Narm
• Narm Charm
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Oh, so much.
• Unnecessary Makeover: What NBC has been doing ever since it got its hooks into the channel.
