OCMs & Personalities / Re: Dave Schwartz Returns

Just watched a Periscope broadcast from the Weather Underground show and Dave Schwartz was on talking about getting a chemo treatment.

I don't have TWC on FiOS so I was unaware if he had been off the air in recent weeks.

Dave said he's off tomorrow for treatment then back Thursday and Friday.

I wonder if some of this is a reaction to FiOS saying we don't need The Weather Channel due to in part the reduction of weather content and stopping negotiations on a new contract for The Weather Channel?

Kelly has returned today to fill-in on the storm coverage.

She mentioned on her webpage when she was done subbing in Nashville it would be "more freelancing for The Weather Channel".

"The Weather Channel responded with non-stop live coverage".
Not true. As documented here,
https://twctodayforums.com/forums/programming/pathetic-twc-not-showing-weather-tonight/msg192435/#new
TWC was skipping overnight coverage of winter storms.

Verizon had sent a TWC has been dropped message to some customers on March 3rd so I'm pretty sure they were ready to drop it today.

The AccuWeather channel is playback of recorded segments and there are no local weather segments as FiOS is running a national version. There are no live segments either.
FiOS is having a problem with the video and audio on AccuWeather not playing normally.

Because of all that the channel does not interest me at all.

They just went to break and this was stuck on the screen till commercials started to play.
More storm coverage as I guess they can't get the long form programming to play.

They just went back to storm coverage with Kelly Cass.

Update: TWC is still having tech problems.
The EF showed up during the commercials and then a promo graphic was stuck on the screen till they went back to storm coverage.

TWC has the normal graphics on screen for the regularly scheduled taped programming however the emergency feed is on instead or the taped show.
