"The Weather Channel has decided to cancel its early morning show, Wake Up With Al, after six years. Al Roker‘s show will have its last airing later this month, according to several sources familiar with the network’s plans. The show’s New York-based production team was told of the decision Monday."

I wonder what will happen to Stephanie Abrams. She may reunite with Bettes on his new show. It is still unknown what will replace WUWA but I will not be surprised if AMHQ gets extended.

"The Weather Channel launches a new weekend morning lineup on Saturday. The most notable addition, “Weekend Recharge,” is hosted by Maria LaRosa and Paul Goodloe. The new show is expected to offer a unique perspective of the week ahead, along with suggestions on how to take advantage of the weekend.

“Weekend Recharge” airs Saturday and Sunday at 9amET, following “AMHQ Weekend,” which began in early February with hosts Kait Parker and Reynolds Wolf alongside expert Dr. Greg Postel.

LaRosa has a new segment called “Momerology” in which she teams up with mom bloggers to help parents jump start their day. Goodloe also has his own new segment, “Weekend in Play, in which examines how weather will impact the sports scheduled for that particular weekend."

"Weather Channel’s Mike Bettes will host a new, live 2-hour show airing weeknights at 6pmET. The currently unnamed show will launch in March. The timeslot had been the home of former full-time mets Kelly Cass and Nick Walker."

Glad to see Bettes returning to Weeknights. Will the new show be like Abrams & Bette: Beyond the Forecast? And will Bettes be replaced on AMHQ?

Programming and Graphics / Twist of Fate: New Episodes

« on: June 05, 2012, 01:30:47 AM »

Just saw a new commercial of Twist of Fate and the commercial said that Season 2 will premiere in June 8. No Press Release yet.

Can't TWC just show/produce new episodes of Storm Stories or When Weather Changed History? There is just too much long-form shows on TWC.

Programming and Graphics / 2012 Hurricane Season Graphics

« on: May 27, 2012, 05:37:54 PM »

I noticed the last few days that TWC has new Hurricane Season Graphics. Tropical Update openers have not started but the Graphics are being used on Beryl Coverage.

In my opinion, these graphics look downgraded. Can anyone upload/record when TWC shows these graphics?
