Most of The Weather Channel concentrates on all the problems Batten and his media company experienced in the early 1980s when they h atched their idea for all-weather programming and struggled to get it on the air . I'm sure that we tried to do too much, too fast, says Batten, who nevertheless endorses the too-much, too-fast approach: I'm convinced that if we hadn't acted as aggressively as we did--if we hadn't spent the money, rushed down the road, and pushed ourselves and our partners . The Weather Channel may never have bee n. Batten concludes by discussing the future of weather predictions (they're goi ng to get a lot better, he thinks) and offering unconventional advice to aspirin g media tycoons (don't offer stock options to employees).
