If Clark is the channel's president, then there's no one who could fire him, is there?  What a drag.  :rolleyes:

To address the mention of who is responsible for long term programming and if they should be fired...

David Clark, President of The Weather Channel. Per his official biography on weather.com

Quote
At Fuse he was responsible for the network's direction and growth strategy and oversaw all of the network's day-to-day business operations including programming, production, marketing and ad sales. While at Fuse, he built a news division and production infrastructure, green-lit seven original series into production for the 12/13 season and initiated Fuse’s move into long-form programming.

It wouldn't be a stretch to assume he was brought here for this reason.

interesting this guy on reddit (claiming to be a meteorologist at twc) posted this on reddit then deleted his account

Meteorologist at the Weather Channel here, so obviously this is a throwaway. I can tell you this. We hate everything that is going on too. The last two days have basically been treated like the Jerry Lewis tele-a-thon. However on the upside it is nice to actually work on making weather content ALL DAY. We need to get back to it full time...or at least just more than we do now.

with weathernation gaining traction and accuweather starting a channel, i don't see network weather picking up steam..

I can't get behind that. I love the idea.. believe me, but it looks like it's put together by a 10 year old. They need to come out with the big guns...

Just extend the LF to 1:30 add a headlines screen to the beginning, metro map, extended forecast. When there is an alert, replace the headlines screen. This way everyone gets what they want.

red mode looks great, except for the blue background on the L bar.. I thought in the previews it was supposed to turn black/gray. would look a lot better. maybe It'll change during the day once they get into breaking weather mode.

If anyone from twc actually reads these forums...

They mentioned they will be having live severe weather coverage from 4:30 am to 9:30 pm at least, will this be national or just regional with the dual feed? I tried asking on twitter.. no response.

Yes, the network schedule changed starting November 12, 2013. Our first objective is to ensure our fans get their weather, all the time, on our screen, even during commercial breaks and when watching our shows. We hope our new scheduling changes inspire our fans to explore, investigate, and appreciate the experience of weather in all of its many forms, like we do everyday. 

The schedule changes on the weekdays include a morning destination with shows starting at 5:30 a.m. ET with Wake Up With Al and at 7 a.m. ET with Morning Rush,  where our fans can get the top stories about weather and other important news happening in our world with a focus on getting you prepared for whatever the day may bring. Weather Center Live starts at 10 a.m. ET giving you all the weather stories around our globe and hosted by the most talented meteorologists today. 

Starting at 8 p.m. ET and throughout the night, every night, we will provide our fans the most engaging stories of real people tackling the natural drama of lives lived in the elements.  Shows in November and December at night include Prospectors at 9 p.m. ET and Freaks of Nature at 10 p.m. ET every Sunday.

This is real quick, but it looks like Cox is not letter-boxing SD either.  We just don't get the right side bar on SD.  Also, Jim Cantore's narrations are still on the HD Star (are we still calling it the IS2?).  Not sure about SD.  Was trying to flip back and forth, but the locals go too fast!!

sadly no narration on SD

New Orleans SD IS got the correct maps - it finished during a LOT8.  First radar shots still green, by summary it was white.

I will say it looks like the font needs to be bolder on the radar maps, it's kinda hard to read on SD.  Haven't had a chance to look at HD yet.

Just had a "complete" LOT8 - looked pretty tight, with no rejoin issues.

im just south of ya, radar map has updated, transitions are better, only thing left is the actual radar should be changing from this pixelated, drop-shadow looking stuff to the more smooth radar like online... according to the preview videos.
