Weather Channel App

I concur.  All of this feels like the classic lost negotiation between a provider and a reseller.  To understand my thought, please compare to the abc-direcTV negotiations, or abc-spectrumCable negotiations.  I suspect that instead of properly expecting natural price increases, poorly executed negotiations between GM-weatherchannel, or an unwillingness to even negotiate by GM has happened.  Weather channel is not going to walk away from a deal that spans potential revenue from every GM car owner.  
Stop selling us snake oil and provide what we were sold, high quality automobiles with the features loaded at time of purchase. Anyone with a brain and commonsense knows the app could stay and the consumer could pick up the full cost if they want the app.  If its a technology issue, fire your dev team that is telling you it cant be done.  I promise you it can, maybe your company should visit the fork in the road!
