I hope:
TWC will steam online
I fear:
WX+ will become the new TWC
I think:
LO8's will be presented by NBC affiliates or TWC will take over WX+

According to this, there are no plans on merging TWC with weatherplus anytime soon, so that's good news. I fear Weatherscan may see big changes though, seeing how that channel much more similar to weatherplus than TWC.

Nothing will (probably) happen to the Local On The 8s and the STAR system. That is TWC's most popular segment. That is literally the backbone of the channel.

Nothing will happen with the channel, it would be incredibly stupid for NBC to change anything aside from management, which from what I've heard is all thats planned.

How are we supposed to know? If we didn't know a few weeks ago when everyone was asking, how would we know any more now?  :wacko:

I've been saying that all along, but that makes me an optimist. Come to think of it, when I say something negative everybody yells that I'm a pessimist. I guess you just can't please all of the people all of the time.  :rofl:

Vic, Kyle doesn't work in the legal dept.  ;)

You guys are tremendously over-thinking/analyzing this.

Nothing will happen to the LOT8s. However, I would love to see TWC being streamed online.
