Programming and Graphics / Re: TWC's Retro 8s Live

Definitely not surprised. First rumor I heard was that it was meant to stop airing at the end of July.

Why wouldn't they want to expand on it & do it maybe earlier in the night 3-5am? Is this abt seperating themselves from old school TWC? NBC did enough of that.

I never expected anything like this. Best thing they've done in decades. The positive response from people everywhere online proves that. 💯💯💯💙

One thing that's annoying with current Twc, is how fast they run thru all their content, you can barely even see what they're talking about. I know its quicker to see stuff online weather.com but what's the use to tune into the channel that you can't see the forecasts before they're onto the next thing? Taking 1:30 to talk temps or foggy conditions or explaining something out wouldn't hurt too much.

Thanks very much for the updates. I miss Alexandra and Jennifer Lopez and Sharon Resultan. They were fabulous and really liked talking weather.

I think financially, twc is barely hanging on by a thread. Someone said something to Jeff Morrow and he implied on Twitter the staff there is very light unlike years ago when they had close to 250-300 meteorologists.

Working with Dave Schwartz (RIP) early on helped her out plus she has a great sense of humor, now. When she first started she was kinda dry. With Bettes, she's flourished. Love to see it. I just wish WU aired at night vs the middle of the day. Part of me misses Weather Center. Lol

How are we feeling about seeing Samantha's Mohr back as a fill in on TWC? I always liked her tbh.

No issue with this show as I believe it's their second or third talk show overall. They really need to return to live programming from 5-8pm on the weekends. Ever since Kim Cunningham left, they discontinued doing that. :(

I thought it was Verizon that caused them to return to live programming? It was DirectTV in 2014 & Verizon in... what 2010? Someone give me a history lesson.

Personally, I have no issue with the show. I think it would suit it better if it were on between 8-10 at night or 9-11 am weekdays. TWC won't get it through their heads until ratings drop more. Complaints on Twitter and FB likely won't do any good unfortunately. I wish they'd do something special for longtime fans (jazz on the 40th anniversary) but that's doubtful too. :(

Just discovering this. I loved, loved his videos. He was super talented & knowledgeable of TWC & friendly to fellow fans. I'd been meaning to ask him how I could get into it. RIP my dude. <3

Me three. They'd have better ratings if they considered broadcasting from 9-11 pm. I've heard that's the timeslot the people behind Weather Underground originally wanted tbh.
