I watched The Weather Channel for a quick look at local temperatures often, for a local weather wrap-up some of the time, and for an occasional look at your natural geographic type stories. In your new format, you are blocking out the local temperature that was always available in the time space, enlarging the scope of the local weather to include other parts of the midwest (I live in Columbus, OH), and placing too many cities throughout the country in the line at the bottom of the screen, blocking out the quick local information. So, The Weather Channel has become useless to me. Since I cannot see the local temperature and conveniently see local forecasts, I will not be tuning in to be surprised by other features The Weather Channel may offer. You lost a viewing household by your dumb programming.
