The news bar at the bottom of the "NOW" section of the Splendid skin displays the latest weather-related US news stories. If you're viewing the weather from a weather station outside the US, then you will only see news items related to Weather Watcher Live.

To hide the news bar:

1) Click "SETTINGS" at the bottom of the "NOW" section of the main Weather Watcher Live window.




2) Select "Hide" and click the "OK" button to save your change.

I found Mikes post on how to diable newsbar, the only problem I have is the settings under now menu does not have the news bar option, it's missing all together in settings.
