Just curiocity
Here's the deal: The NWS is a non-profit government organization. They do collect forecasts at least twice a day, sometimes more if there is a cause for concern. Anyway, they post the forecast's to a public forum, in which some people will collect the information then sell it to private sources such as ABC, NBC, CBS, Radio, Websites, etc. Therefore, the companies have no obligation to cite their references, but personally, I believe it is somewhat immoral.
Hope that answers your question.
