This reminds me a "joke" told to me by a friend who works at what used to be Softlayer (and has now been integrated into IBM) to explain why IBM bought Softlayer: "IBM wanted to have a good cloud business, so they bought one".

  The Weather Company owns the Weather Channel.

    They bought the Weather Company minus the TV channel side of the business. So I would assume The Weather Channel will remain an independent company just without the digital assets.

    The article explicitly says the weather channel was not part of the deal.
