DirecTV currently has Weather Channel blacked out on its system over a contract dispute. DTV wants to reduce what it pays to carry Weather Channel's shows.

Today, Kenny told Business Insider, "DirecTV has dropped the Weather Channel. We certainly believe it could be permanent. We have a plan to continue to gain audience in the rest of the TV world. We have a strong TV business without them."

Kenny is furious because DTV has been making the argument that Weather Channel's audience has declined due to people using mobile apps for forecasts instead of turning on the TV.
