Byron Allen is planning to make TWC go global:

Keep in mind, the website weather.com is not part of the deal since it is under control of IBM's parent called The Weather Company.

So The Weather Channel still planning for a 24/7 weather programming? No longform reality shows?

Really wish I could cast the channel. I follow a lot of great weather ladies on facebook. No shortage of beautiful women to fill up the channel.

Bizarre but interesting move. Byron Allen once hosted Real People then he branched out to hosting comedy and game shows. He runs a variety of syndicated stuff like a weekly stand up show, a game show and a chat show. His company buying The Weather Channel which is unrelated to comedy is different. Kickin' It with Byron Allen was his big chat show for years. Entertainers with Byron Allen is another show he did profiling movies and actors. His company also did car shows, court shows and shows on homes, career building and health tips. So on satellite he has six channels with all his syndicated stuff. He also did stand up and it landed him on Tonight Show in 1981. His company entertainment studio has around 30 syndicated shows on television including two sitcoms on Centric.

I doubt Crystal is moving from Calif again and isn't Kait still working at Weather.com?

Yes. She's still working at weather.com. We might see Crystal and/or Kait fill-in for Alex Wilson on Weather Underground sooner or later.

does this mean we got back to 24/7 weather again

I'd love it if they went back to weather 24/7. I remember being abale to watch the weather right before bed. Seems like Sharon Resultan was on at that time a lot and that was always a great way to end my day.
