Title: Cutting back on weekend schedule even more?
Post by: Spring Rubber on April 03, 2010, 01:53:35 PM
For the heck of it, I looked at the TWC schedule for today and tomorrow, and it turns out that it's all long-form except for one hour of PM Edition at 6 PM ET and one hour of PM Edition at 11 PM ET. What happened?

I was only thinking of just this weekend, but when I got to check it on zap2it, it says PME @ 6 pm EDT.

Wow, why so much longform?  :wacko:

I'm pretty sure it's just for this weekend and next weekend, as next weekend's schedule still has the tornado-related programs on it.

I checked zap2it for this weekend and the next. Both of them had longform all day with PME just one hour. Maybe beany is right, it may be just for Tornado week.

They're just making TWC unwatchable in the weekends.  :no:

While it may be just for Tornado Week, I wonder if the ratings aren't supportive to have a full schedule on weekends, especially with everyone getting out to enjoy the warmer weather lately.  I guess we'll find out what they do in a few weeks.

The thing is though, ratings were fine ten years ago on weekends. It's amazing yet bizarre how people's interests just suddenly changed.

Yes there is. Kim Perez and Adam Berg should be on. They will be on this hour and on the 11-midnight ET hour.
