- The Weather Channel targets its reports to the people it thinks are watching,
- based on the time of day, and also has the technical means to feed different
- reports to different regions of the country.

- In the early evening, eastern time, they hardly mention the west coast,
- since those folks are still on the freeway. After midnight eastern time,
- it is hard to get any details about cities in the east.
