Quartz: Verizon FiOS customers woke up to a surprising email Tuesday morning: They will no longer have access to The Weather Channel. Verizon’s reasoning was that, essentially, the Internet — with its myriad apps and widgets to get real-time weather updates — makes a channel like The Weather Channel dispensable. Verizon said its agreement with The Weather Channel had expired and that it would be replaced with the AccuWeather Network. Verizon will also host a version of the new network on its mobile app.
