* NetworkDecay: Many longtime viewers of The Weather Channel have argued that the channel has played this straight in recent years due to the shift away from round-the-clock forecast programming to include more weather-related reality series[[note]]These shows, referred to as "long-form programming" (ironic as their forecast programming has much longer running times than their entertainment shows), began in their current format in the early 2000s with the weather-focused newsmagazine ''Atmospheres''; although the first ever "long-form" series on the network was ''The Weather Classroom'', which debuted in 1993 as part of the ''Cable in the Classroom'' initative.[[/note]]. Some have cited that network's original purpose is now largely being filled by weather websites (including TWC's own, weather.com) and mobile apps that provide weather forecasts, making a reliance on 24-hour forecast programming somewhat obsolete (although TWC preempts most (if not, all) regularly-scheduled entertainment-based shows during extended severe weather, hurricane and winter weather coverage).
