A few updates on personnel changes:

Dr. Rick Knabb returns to TWC as Hurricane Expert after 5 years as Director of the Hurricane Center. He was with TWC from 2010-2012:

TWC is playing their "Breaking News" theme during local forecasts. I guess the Storm Alert music is no more?

Sinclair Broadcast Group (which owns numerous television broadcasting stations throughout the country) could be acquiring The Weather Channel soon. There have been discussions between Sinclair and TWC over the past year and an announcement could be made soon.

Anyone noticed that so far today on Weather Center Live, it's been just one OCM and a locked camera shot?
At 9AMET, Keith Carson was solo on WCL.
At 11AMET, Alex Wallace was solo on WCL. He is usually on at 12PMET.
At 3PMET, Chirs Warren and Jen Delgado hosted WCL. They are usually on at 9AMET.

Very weird schedule. Did TWC shuffle OCM shifts again or maybe several OCMs are in meetings or something?

The show will launch next Tuesday at 11PMET. I'm not sure why the show will be airing this late in the evening and it's timeslot has a potential to have low ratings.

She was one of my favorites and I'll definitely miss her on AMHQ Weekend and sometimes on 9am ET WCL. I wish her the best in her future endeavors! I did not know she was engaged to Michael Lowry.

Meanwhile, I do hope TWC will re-hire Kelly Cass to replace her

Sam Champion will be back on ABC's Good Morning America filling-in for a couple of days. I wonder when will his TWC primetime show will debut but I predict that Sam will be gone from TWC by the end of this year.

TWC was live from 5PM-10PM ET covering the storms. Storm Alert music did not play until 9:18 ET. Overall, TWC did a good job covering the storms but they did went to longform at 10PM ET. I assume they were shorthanded today.

Yes

Anyone else not looking forward to "Dead of Winter: The Donnor Party"? Looks like a movie to me.....Not good TWC!!!!!! Hopefully we'll hear of more live hours soon! I have a couple of new OCMs over the last week so I hope that's a good sign.

Sadly, there's more reality shows to come before they restore live weather hours. Hopefully, this will be the last seasons for these shows:
