I expected the WWC team to do the first two hours of PME with Adam and Sharon doing the final hour of PME and EE, but I guess TWC still wants to do the mixed OCM schedules. I guess Carl and Mike will be back maybe for the final hour of PME.

The masters of EEWC, evicted from their empire.

Oh yeah, and I found an article on Storm Stories: http://www.multichannel.com/article/179707-_Storm_Stories_Twists_Into_Weather_Channel_s_Tornado_Week.php?rssid=20059

This is the intermediate step in the major schedule change.  Today introduced the removal of Forecast Earth, the extension of PM Edition, the reappearance of Storm Stories, thus the two-hour block in prime.

Next week is the upheaval.

Looks like they're re-running an older episode of Storm Stories at 7:30 PM CT.

EDIT: With the old TWC logo in the trivia segment, as well.

Mike Seidel anchoring solo tonight on the double E! The world is coming to an end... I wonder who'll anchor EEWC tonight... My guess would have to be Carl, since he was on WWC with Mike.

That would be an awfully long day for Carl. I don't know if they'll keep him in for EEWC. I'd guess either Adam or Sharon will appear.

That would be a long day for them too... Assuming they arrive to TWC at 2pm, if they go on the air at 1am, that's a 12 hour work day right there...

Given all the layoffs, I'd imagine that 12-hour+ days are probably more common than you realize.  :yes:

LOL.  :rofl: :rofl:

But perhaps not. The OCM's could be paid a salary, and not a wage, meaning that they'd not be eligible for overtime, regardless of how many hours they work.

They won't have to work for so many hours starting next Sunday, when long-form programming takes over the weekend schedule.

That's actually still another weekend after next.
