The Weather Channel will preempt its Friday night movie in NY, NJ, CT and PA. http://bit.ly/2B23dZ


I'm not surprised they would do that, it makes sense, this Nor'Easter is more important than seeing "Misery" which you can see on practically any movie channel you wanted to anyway. :rolleyes: (lol looks like a Facebook member isn't happy with NBC being over management of TWC either.  :P)


I'd rather watch the coverage than the movie anyways...

Stupid weather.com still has their "Misery" banner up. <_< Idiots. :angry:

TWC and all of its :censored: movies is dumb IMO.

I'm glad they decided to make this move, but I'm sure more people outside of those states would still want to watch the coverage regardless. ;)

It looks like no one here afaik got the WC coverage (as they promised). This sounds like a fail.

So is everyone seeing the movie? :dunno: Like Patrick said, it is stupid to have some see a movie and some see weather coverage. :thumbdown: Drop the movies, TWC! :angry: Even my dad wonders if TWC covers current weather anymore.

According to Jesskitty, he got the coverage at 8:30 PM. It seems like during the half hour, they were actually broadcasting to NOBODY. They had a simple technical difficulty.

My mom tuned into TWC and thought she was watching the wrong channel. She was like WTF is Stephen King doing on TWC?

It came in at about 830... They were in the monitor position and was an unbranded weather center show much like last night. Paul was tieless and jacketless.

Are you sure only the northeast is getting this coverage? If this were the case I would have expected the IntelliStars built-in playlist to be used since the satellite LF system wouldn't be running.

Did they show any LFs when the movie was running? :dunno: My guess is that there was a one-minute flavor at the top and bottom of the hour. :yes:

They only showed the LFs that were a part of the movie, which were at weird times that corresponded to the naturally odd times of the commercial breaks in the movie.

They show LFs at random times during the movies... which is ridiculous, imo.
