Watching TWC, It's WCL. Wasn't AMHQ starting today? Was that canceled this weekend because of the Winter Storms?

AMHQ Is a weekday only show IIRC.

It was briefly mentioned in many of those articles about Cantore coming to AMHQ that a weekend edition would be added on January 31. It was to be hosted by Reynolds and Kait.
I did notice these photos on Twitter a couple of days ago. It appears that they were rehearsing.

Is this a new product on the sidebar? I haven't seen it before.

Nick Walker will return for the midnight-4am shift.

Also, I meant to mention this earlier, but Kelly Cass was on last night with Kim Cunningham. I wonder how long she (Kelly) will be sticking around?  Samantha Mohr is on with Kim tonight instead.

CORRECTION: Sam is on with Mark Thibodeau right now, with Kim in The Lab. (Carl Parker was in the lab last night.)

I imagine we'll unfortunately start seeing less of Kelly when the new Bettes evening show starts in March.

There will be a special report from 7-11. I'm glad they're coming on for prime time, but you'd think that with an event of this magnitude they would have all hands on deck and be on all day. I mean, this is why TWC exists, isn't it?

You would think. I heard on CNN that this is like a Cat 5 Trop. Storm. Now whether that's true of just CNN hype, IDK. If that's really true, TWC needs a talking too by someone! I don't know who.

It shocks me that TWC's viewing audience hasn't woken up yet and keeps letting TWC get away with longform when there's severe weather to work on. I would think NYC's mayor would have some words for TWC if we watched this PM. Unless he just watched WCL or local news this morning and hasn't tuned in since.

What's a category 5 tropical storm? I've never heard of tropical storms having categories. Sounds like CNN hype to me.

Any word on if TWC is doing extended coverage today? They should!!

Pretty sure Greg Postel just said they'll be live from 7-11pm tonight.

It will be very interesting to see what happens tomorrow. Given what's about to go down in the northeast, they picked the perfect day for the debut of the new cast, since they'll certainly get a huge audience. Normally, I think Jim and Sam would be sent out in the field to cover the storm, but I wonder if they'll stay in studio for this one since it's the first day of the new AMHQ.

Samantha is also working at 11-Alive in Atlanta.

It appears she'll be pulling double duty today, and appearing on TWC too.

Mike and Maria sad goodbye to AMHQ today. I know they'll still be around, but it was kind of sad.

Maria's new show doesn't start until February 14th.

I have a feeling it's Bettes' tune for his new show

It could also be for Maria's new show. It seems more appropriate for a weekend morning show to me. We'll see.

There will apparently be extended coverage today of the northeast ice storm, as WxGeeks is not airing.
