Doesn’t AccuWeather also depend on NOAA data? I was under the impression that they basically just parse the stuff that NOAA/NWS puts out and make people pay to have convenient access to it. Am I misremembering something?
There it is. Yeah that tracks with the general Republican playbook. Sell off any and every part of government that business interests could even remotely squeeze money out of no matter how detrimental it would be for society.
Who do they think the local weather people get their data from? Where do they think weather says comes from?
They know who it comes from. They want to change that answer from “free from NOAA” to “on a subscriber basis from private companies like AccuWeather”.

AccuWeather wants to buy the NOAA network, so they can have a monopoly
