introduce Sunday nights as a destination long-form programming block. These changes mark the beginning of an evolution for The Weather Channel that will continue through 2014.

wonder what else they have planned?

if you notice in the video, there's one city mentioned in the LOT8's when they're flipping through thats not a major city, so there's hope!. sadly it looks like the sidebar will be missing from SD broadcasts, they could've letterboxed like espn.

  i hope someones able to upload to youtube! ill be watching live, but itll be cool to watch again.

here's the latest news story about it.

"We are getting back to our roots as a company," said David Clark, president, Weather Channel. "We wanted to get back to the core idea that this is a place where people get the weather."

The tactic is an attempt to retain and engage viewers during ad breaks. Networks including Fox and ESPN have also tested ways to keep viewers engaged during commercial breaks, including "double-box ad" formats, where the content continues to air in one small box while the commercial runs in another box.

For Weather Channel, making the forecast a persistent element coincides with a larger revamp of the channel, which includes a focus on Sunday night prime-time programming, amplifying its morning shows and a new tagline: "It's amazing out there."

Mr. Clark said the network had been missing opportunities to capture passion around the weather. It deviated a bit from its core mission in 2010, when it ramped up its reality TV programming and reduced its coverage of the weather. While it will continue to air shows like "Coast Guard Alaska," which follows Coast Guard members as they train and work, the network is adding science-driven, weather-centric, long-form documentaries on Sunday nights under the label "Natural Drama."

Weather Channel is also refreshing its on-air graphics to better accommodate a range of data sought by viewers, including pollen count and dew point.

Society is increasingly focused on data, said Scot Safon, a former CNN and HLN exec who was named CMO at Weather Channel in September. "The brand is completely built around data and data presentation and visualization."

Weather Channel worked with agencies Trollback, Mono and Man Made Music on the tagline and on-air revamp.

Don't shoot me but is the LO8 playlist staying? It grew on me.

I love the music they're playing, but instrumentals would be awesome instead. i doubt they will change to that though. they will probably have something similar to what they have had in their promo videos, and what we are listening to now.

It does look smaller, and that area where the video wall is has much "warmer" feeling to it.

BTW, did we ever find out what was in the mysterious "Fragile" box???

Yes. I had posted it a page back. The name on the crate is stewart. That company makes video screens for broadcast sets.
