The Weather Channel listed Sprint as their "affiliate", and since many of us did not know that it meant differently in legal jargon, I assumed it meant as "a company which one has a business interest". But of course I believe you are correct.
In any case, however, I think you were a little bit inaccurate when you said that "the judges at Sprint have no relationship with any of the contest entrants". The judges at Sprint are employees of Sprint; Sprint is an "affiliate" of The Weather Channel; and The Weather Channel was a contest entrant. I assume though that the judges from Sprint recused themselves from the app submitted by The Weather Channel. Thanks On May 16, 2:51 pm, "David M.
