Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we will talk to Jason Samenow about what's next for the Capital Weather Gang. We'll also talk to Pat Forty about the latest twist in the Brendan Sorsby saga. And we will preview the U.S. Open with Steve Sands. But first, commerce.
Previously on The Tony Kornheiser Show.
It's lovely to talk to you. You don't have to ever worry that this is video. We're never video. I'm never video. Never.
I got a big stain on my shirt anyway from lunch, so it's a good thing that, you know, I'm just sitting here in my easy chair.
It's okay.
What else is going on? Tell me. I miss you. Don't blow me off. There's no time limit on this thing, right? Unless you're going to bed.
Well, it's almost bedtime for me. It's, you know, a little bit after 7 in the East. I'm not staying up.
The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now. Complete delight to have Al on. Just the best.
Complete delight the week before to have Marv on. Complete delight. Just a delight. Summer shows. Yeah. Summer shows. Right. Yes. Right. All right. So we're guest loaded today. We're going to start. After we talk to our first guest, then I'll do the traditional open. But now we're going to talk to Jason Samenow, who is the power behind the Capital Weather Gang, who are now not the Capital Weather Gang, and they are something else. Jason, why don't you explain to me what the Capital Weather Gang is doing and becoming?
Sure. So thanks for having me, and it's a pleasure to be on your show as always. Yeah, so we're excited. We've entered a new chapter, and we have started our own new local D.C. area media weather company called Capital Weather, kind of returning to our roots. And I don't know how many of your listeners know this, but before we were part of The Post, we were an independent website from 2004 to 2008. That's how we got our start. And we're going back to those independent routes. And you can find us at CapitalWeather.com. And we're doing all the same that we've done historically, but we're doing even more now. You know, there are more interactive opportunities for our readers, more ways to have direct access to us.
And, of course, we're providing the vital forecasts and updates that people rely on. And we're trying to be as accessible to everyone as we can.
Were you unhappy with The Washington Post or was it something else?
No, I mean, we were fine. I mean, The Post has supported us over the years. And, you know, we feel fortunate to have been able to, you know, have the 18 year run we did there. We worked with a lot of great people, a lot of, you know, tremendously talented journalists. And we had strong support there through the years. I think, you know, we were just at a point where we wanted to grow and expand what we were doing.
Did we lose you? Are you there? We lost Jason. So call him back. That wouldn't be good to lose Jason. He provides the best weather service in the world. We just lost him. Oh, so Michael is showing me Capital Weather now, and it's a picture of the Lincoln Memorial, and it says, DC area forecast, warmer today, hot tomorrow, as storm chances return. And then it says, we've launched. Oh, so they have their own website. And what are you pointing to?
What changes are happening with the Capital Weather Gang?
Right. 90-degree days, year-to-date 13, average is 6. So we're over. We have Jason back? Jason's back. We lost you. Okay, so you wanted to go and return to your own roots, and Michael just showed me Capital Weather on his computer. How will we access you now? What do we do? Because you were one of the main reasons, if not the main reason, I subscribed to the Washington Post after, you know, the guy tubed the sports section and the metro section. I don't like that.
So... yeah so um yeah you just have to go to capitalweather.com and you can access our website and then we also this is new and this is one of the reasons um we wanted to become our own company we uh launched our own app and so um you can download our app by going to the uh you know the app stores for android or apple and just look up capital weather and you'll find us and um so when you're on the go you can access all of our content that way so
