YWT and WUWA are getting new logos on Monday (from Mike Bettes' Facebook). I really like these!

I like YWT's logo/graphics. The graphics have a morning feel than the old one which looks ugly. We'll see on Monday what the new openers/graphics look like on air.

If they are going to do WUWA and YWT from NYC then they really need a better studio.
They adjusted the lighting for this morning and it was to bright with a bad glare on the big monitor on and the LCD monitor.

I agree. There studio is too small for 2 people to host. They should never send Stephanie and Mike to NYC because they don't belong there. If they will be in NYC permanently, both of them have to relocate, buy a new house and talk with there family if there going to move with them which cost $.

This new schedule seems weird.   At least there's none of this "Day Planner" when the day's more than half-over stuff anymore, but one hour of WCL at 4:00 pm then back to long-form until 7 seems very silly.  Especially (though I know this wasn't always the case) since WCL has the theme of being a "night" show, if you know what I mean.

Also, aren't Nick and Vivian doing DP from 11 am to 2 pm?  weather.com's guide is incorrect; still showing Carl and Heather hosting.

They should bring back PM Edition to weekdays at 4pm. When WCL airs at 4PM ET, it is 1PM in the West Coast which is still afternoon. WCL during the afternoon is silly.

Maybe the new video wall will debut on the day of the schedule change?

I'm guessing that Carl and Maria will be now fill-ins. 

I still don't like how TWC is getting rid of live programming hours.

Heather Tesch on Facebook
TWC is going to move some things around in their schedule to bring viewers some new programming. Starting Monday Nick and Vivian will keep you informed on Day Planner from 11-2 ET. Beginning April 14 I will cover the weekends between 11-2 ET and again from 4-5 pm ET. I will be working with Todd. I hope you'll join us!

Crystal Egger Facebook
Our last day on the LATE LATE shift. Join Jim Cantore, Chris Warren and me at 4p, 7p & 10p ET beginning Monday! Weather Center LiVE will still air at 1am ET. #WCL

That means TWC will be on tape 2pm-4pm and 5pm-7pm and Heather takes Maria's place on Weekends. 
Weather Center Live will be on 4pm, 7pm and 10pm with the same OCM's.
Thw 1am edition will have different OCM's.

Not sure what this means for Maria LaRosa who is losing her weekend shows.

Maybe the WCL 1AM ET will be hosted by Kelly and Paul or Adam and Kim. I will miss seeing Crystal since I watch WCL at 10PM PT / 1 AM ET.

I hope that TWC will not get rid of Maria. She is one of my favorite OCMs. This is just another reason why TWC is not good anymore.

As of tonight in the 8pm hour, the Weather Now updates at 10 and 40 after the hour are gone.
Instead they are using the LDL Squeeze back and doing the Weather Now update then at 38.
I need to check if they are doing it at 58 after.
It's bad enough they only do two full local forecasts an hour during taped programming and now they are using the LDL Squeeze back.

The Squeezeback is better used for long-form like this. They shouldn't just show the LDL like they did before since there is no radar info. But they should just show LFs at 8s.

Although the poll lacks the IS2, there's already a topic about this.

That poll is old. People might of change there minds when IS2 was released.

ANOTHER COAST GUARD ALASKA COPYCAT BASED ON COAST GUARD ALASKA!

TWC loves that show but they gone way too far on that show. This shows involving Resuces are worst than when TWC overhyped Peter Lik last year.   

I wish that they can make new episodes of Storm Stories instead of making this garbage.
