Ah, dang. :(  Well, for what it's worth, I haven't seen any bad changes since they were bought; in fact the service I've received seems even better.  Maybe NBC Universal is keeping its distance for now; I can only hope it remains that way as finding a weather service I like AND trust is, well, hard.

Thanks for the heads up! :)
