If you want an educational weather channel, may I suggest that you
start one yourself.

Note "inform and educate".

Yes, but you could argue that a 'dumbed-down' weather forecast will
still do all those 3, just not educate people to the level of
meteorological knowledge required by weather enthusiasts.
