I just found out recently that there's a growing number of people want TWC to return to live programming, more weather, less long-form stuff, etc.
So I figured out the best way is to let you create your own weekly schedule for the channel. Now-defunct shows (for instance Weekend Now, Beyond the Forecast and Day Planner) are also accepted.
Here's roughly my personal schedule (with an increase in live programming, especially on weekends):
Monday-Friday:
4:00am-6:00am: Weather Center Live
6:00am-10:00am: AMHQ
10:00am-5:00pm: Weather Center Live
5:00pm-8:00pm: Weather Underground
8:00pm-1:00am: Weather Center Live
Saturday and Sunday:
6:00am-9:00am: AMHQ
9:00am-1:00pm: Weekend Recharge
1:00pm-8:00pm: Weather Center Live
11:00pm-2:00am (maybe?): Weather Center Live (for West Coast primetime)
During severe weather WCL would be called "Weather Center Live: X Central" in the electronic program listings (X is the appropriate event, like hurricane, tornado and severe storm).
That's my idea. What're yours?

This is what I came up with and posted on my Facebook profile back on November 11, 2017..

THE WEATHER CHANNEL SCHEDULE IDEA
This is an idea I came up with, a few notes first:
* I originally came up with a "WU Late Night" for 11pm-2am, but bumped it an hour earlier and renamed it "Weather Center Geeks" for some more variety
* "Reality / Wx Geeks" indicates either Reality Programming or Wx Geeks, depending on the day - which allows variation and/or new premieres as needed
* This would drop the amount of reality programming down to 2 hours on weekdays, and 3 hours on weekends
* Local on the 8's segments would occur twice every hour, all day
** Taking cues from Weather Underground and Reality Programming blocks
** Would become 2 minutes long again
** Shifted to :28 and :58 past the hour
