Byron Allen’s Entertainment Studios Acquires The Weather Channel TV Network For $300 Million
- Thread starter Hotlantan
- Start date
It was a reality show about people who had weird talents and stuff like that
IBM licenses the data to anyone that's willing to pay for it. So do many other companies. The Weather Channel was bought for $3.5 billion. IBM bought the website for $2 billion. Byron Allen paid $300 million. You do the math.
Did i say he doesn't know what he is doing?
In fact i defended dude because they referred to him as a comedian
That said the data and platform is the real value to me based on my own experience.
Not saying that there is no value in the channel
At some you have to realize that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
The article in the first post says that they did.
The Weather Company (IBM) runs weather.com, intellicast.com and weather underground.
Much respect due. He's a businessman, and a serious player in the business, man.
you're not the only one. lol
At some point you have to realize there are all kinds of mofos on this site.
You can't pretend to know when I drove the technology roadmap for the underlying platform the data is going to be using ie bluemix.
Anyway here is an article saying the very same thing I am saying.
The Weather Company’s data platform hosts the fourth-most used mobile app in the U.S.; Cloud-based service handles 26 billion requests a day
ARMONK, NY and ATLANTA, GA
October 28, 2015: IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire The Weather Company’s B2B, mobile and cloud-based web properties, including WSI, weather.com, Weather Underground and The Weather Company brand. The TV segment – The Weather Channel – will not be acquired by IBM, but will license weather forecast data and analytics from IBM under a long-term contract.
The planned acquisition would bring together IBM’s powerful cognitive and analytics platform and The Weather Company’s dynamic cloud data platform

I drove the roadmap for Cloud Foundry bro, the very platform IBM whitelabeled as Bluemix.

The Weather Company’s cloud-based data platform will allow IBM to collect an even larger variety and higher velocity of global data sets, store them, analyze them and in turn distribute them and empower richer and deeper insights across the Watson platform.

Your post said "IBM didn't buy the website."
That's exactly what they purchased, along with the analytics which is what donwuan and I said.
I think he still that. Just a rich one now. Never heard of him being pro black or anything else outside of him being a rich dude. He still a cornball
