* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Anything that is a documented program, such as Highway Thru Hell, Fat Guys in the Wood will get scorn from longtime fans due to not focusing on weather and especially the fact they will often be aired in place of live weather programming in the weekday nights and majority of Saturday and Sunday (which means there's more hours of these type of programing than live weather broadcasting). At least a few of them such as Storm Stories and Full Force Natre has something to do with weather.
