Who knew any current show could attract such a huge audience!  :blink:

I don't know, but I'll admit, I've watched it a few times and its not all that bad. Probably one of the better show's TWC's come up with since they started airing such shows.

While on the topic of WWCH, are they making any new shows? Or are they keep going to showing the same reruns over and over?

If the show has such high ratings, then why so its LF opener all the time? I thought they only need to do that if the ratings are low.

Neither am I. I don't think I've actually watched an episode of WWCH in weeks.

Actually, I think tonight's episode might have aired before, but I saw the promo for next Sunday's episode, and that one definitely is new.

Post by: Localonthe8s on March 05, 2008, 06:57:42 PM
Yes! That's the one. They also show how the crash of flight 191 was by the lazy pilot's actions and the microbursts

Yeah. Well, WWCH is a real must-see-on-tv Disaster Documantary

Congrats TWC.

Now can you please, PLEASE, PLEASE change the lf opener and quit cramming it down our throats. I'd even take those Epic Conditions ones over this. At least they had a variety of them.

Post by: Spring Rubber on March 10, 2008, 05:06:59 PM
Okay, the LF opener change is done, at least for this week and next week since next week is "Tornado Preparedness Week" (as opposed to just "Tornado Week").

I wonder what it'll be like and what shows will be featured. Apparently Tornado Preparedness programming will be replacing WWCH next week.

I saw the Discovery plane crash one, and it wasn't that bad.  The reason why I think ratings were so high, is that it really isn't THAT MUCH about the weather :P, but I suppose that's okay.

Too all you who are wondering why they keep showing local forecast openers:  I think they are doing this, to gain more viewership.  More viewership won't hurt them at all  :)

They should make some positively themed shows. IMO, shows like WWCH and SS are about sad, life threatening situations.

I saw that too. It's OK but they focus too little on the actual accident.

Its called When WEATHER Changed History. I think the focus is supposed to be more on the weather surrounding the event then the event itself.  ;)
