Being a web site and not a TV channel, this isn't quite the same thing,
but the Weather Underground (www.wunderground.com) provides all the info a
weather geek could want.  I can't say I miss Tornado Reenactment Theater
or the live reports from the middle of hurricanes.  For $5/year, they'll
even skip the ads.
