They have been talking about privatizing the NWS for a few years (off and on) so it's good to hear that it will stay public -- at least for a while longer. I remember at one time it was even suggested making the NOAA Weather Radio audio an encrypted, subscriber-only service.
This site is a good resource for "weather radio geeks" -- http://www.weatherradio.info/ -- they have all sorts of news including future stations and talk/discussion boards.
