Did you know that WXII has a 24 hour weather channel? If you did I guess you didn't have much company because WXII has decided to replace their weather programming on the channel with 24 hours of really old TV shows like Mr. Ed and movies that you've probably never heard of. From the story:
Starting June 1, WXII will be replacing its Weather Plus sub-channel with This TV, a free movie and classic television channel offered by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the station announced Monday…
This TV programming includes 4,000 film and 10,000 television series episodes in agreement with six distinct studio libraries: Cannon, United Artists, Polygram Filmed Entertainment, Orion, Samuel Goldwyn Films and MGM.
Classic television shows such as Patty Duke and Mr. Ed, as well as feature-length movies, will be offered 24 hours per day.

Wilbur was Mr. Ed’s owner.
Very nice! Good ol’ Wilbur Post.
Thinking of Mr. Ed makes me want some peanut butter.
A seemingly random decision by WXII, but I guess it’s not. I can think of a few channels I’d rather see in HD but I’m guessing this isn’t TWC’s call. A quick Wiki search shows that NBC is dropping “NBC Weather Plus” – thank gawd (the anchors were awful), thus the move. Visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_TV for more info.
