TWC changing up morning lineup...

Summary:
First Forecast - 4-5 AM ET
On The Radar - 5-5:30 AM ET
Wake Up With Al - 5:30-7 AM ET
Morning Rush - 7-9 AM ET
Hopefully, Morning Rush is a name change for Your Weather Today, otherwise, it looks as if we could be loosing Your Weather Today.

With this news, I believe TWC will relaunch later this year or early next year. I could see New Graphics with the new shows and some OCMs moving shifts.
Looks like First Outlook will be no more but really "On the Radar" at 5AM before WUWA? that show title does not makes sense for early mornings. And I don't like "Morning Rush", I prefer YWT. TWC's morning programs just relaunched in April and they're relaunching again? Let's hope that if TWC relaunches it's morning programs, Mike and Stephanie will still hosts.
But I am glad to see that TWC learned there lesson about Long-Form. Probably, they are scaling back Long-Form either because of low ratings (likely the case) or lack of money to produce the Long-Form Programs.

The article above didn't mention end times, but I wonder if WUWA will now be running an hour-and-a-half? Because, in your schedule above Trevor, you have nothing from 6 AM - 7 AM.

It did.. or at least when I read it there were times :unsure: As for what Trevor posted, I totally doubt WUWA is from 5:30 to 6, so I would have to say that WUWA is 90 minutes now

End times. ;) It mentioned how long Morning Rush would be but none of the others. We just have to assume based on the start time of the show following.
On another note, what is with all these changes? Did TWC get a new programming director or something?
-
Yeah, I saw that, nevermind :wall: :oops:
As for the changes, it's all part of TWC's recent plans of restructuring.
-
Fixed to include 90 minute WUWA. As of right now, we can only assume that those are the correct end times. The only shows that wouldn't be listed in that article are longform shows, and I doubt that those would be showing in the morning in-between shows, especially with the recent changes.
-
I'm going to miss YWT. I'm waiting to see what these new shows will be like, and I'm wondering what will happen to DP.

Weather acting head of TV Sharon Scott said at the meeting that the network will be moving to a new talk show format during dayside early next year.

I heard someone mention this a while back but it didn't mean much until I saw this. There was a desire to have more guests and personal conversations rather than just an OCM standing in front of the green screen. The general idea was to make it more personal
-
Did they not just relaunch YWT, now it's getting axed.
Logic never seems to apply in the workplace. :wacko:

The initial format of "Weekend View" was a talk show and there were plans to do a PM version that never happened.

If they do the talk show format the way they did it for Weekend View, it's not a bad idea to me. I used to like that homely feel WV had. :yes:
Also I'm pretty sure YWT is Morning Rush, which imo is a better name, I never really liked the name YWT. :no:

My Comcast guide shows the new morning schedule starting November 5. But it has Morning Rush from 7AM-10AM ET.

Yep, it has the line up like this on November 5th (Monday)
First Outlook - 4-5am
On The Radar - 5-5:30am
Wake Up With Al - 5:30-7am
Morning Rush - 7-10am
Wake Up With Al Reprisal - 10-11am
Day Planner - 11-2pm
Long Form - 2-5pm
WeatherCenter Live - 5-8pm
More Long form - 8-10pm
WeatherCenter Live - 10-11pm

wow no longform from 5-8?!

The Tribune guide on Zap2It no longer shows the new morning lineup, but it still shows WCL running from 5-8 PM ET.

Hmm...that doesn't seem like as much of a change as I was thinking (except for less long-form in the evenings). I just thought for sure they would re-name or do something different with Day Planner. It could really use a fresh look in my opinion. But I guess not.
-
Very interesting. I can't believe Al Roker is going to be on for an hour and a half. Whatever.
I find it interesting they are getting rid of Your Weather Today.
I like the show title "On the Radar."
Good to see there is going to be a couple more hours of live programming in the evening.

They're not, it just got a new name (Morning Rush)

There's probably going to be more changes to that line up, I doubt that's the final schedule. That article made such an emphasis on the daytime lineup being completely revamped like the quote below...
The details on the dayside lineup are scarce, but Weather acting head of TV Sharon Scott said at the meeting that the network will be moving to a new talk show format during dayside early next year.
I highlighted this because it leads me to believe longform will be temporary in the 2-5pm timeslot.

Interesting timing. Heather Tesch, along with Marshall Seese, were the hosts of Your Weather Today when it started around 2000.
-
About the new changes, I shall be watching and waiting. So far I don't see anything that makes me gasp or dismayed, which I suppose should be counted as good news. The scaling back of long-form programming is also good news. Perhaps the trend is now turning ever so slightly in our favor?
As for YWT being cancelled, it's pretty much still there, only under a new name. If A&B still host it, it will certainly be just a new name for the same thing. If they get a different format and different hosts, then it will be something quite different. Whether it will be better or worse is the question.
The "talk show format" bit is quite interesting. Dayside is currently rather bland (vs. Weather Canter and the morning lineup), but "talk show format" could mean many things. IF they do it right, the results will be fascinating to behold and could mean a new and better era for daytime programming (or perhaps a milder version like Weekend View used to be like). If they do it wrong, it will turn into something like "Wake Up Access", only much worse.

Just checked TV Guide.com, and Zap 2 It.com and The new schedule is gone for now. Is that because of Sandy? However, Longform is still there, in the old time slots. Has anyone heard any thing??????

I could be wrong, but I got the notion that this new line-up wasn't going to start until early next year. :blink: How far in the future are you looking?

The talk show format of shows they mentioned in the article from this thread were supposed to be on during the daytime hours weren't planned to begin until next year which is why when I posted the schedule Comcast had on their program guide there was only minor differences from the current schedule. Speaking of that, they have reverted back to the old schedule on their program guide for next week as well.
EDIT: They postponed the schedule change to November 12th (Monday) according to Comcast's program guide.

TWC is about 400 years overdue for a relaunch

The graphics are nice! I don't know what to think about the Lower 3rds, I like them but I hope they won't be red all the time. I wonder how long we'll have the LDL, because under the names in the Lower 3rds, they the TWC Logo, TWC Mobile Logo and the weather.com Logo. It looks really nice! You only see it when the LDL goes off, and I wonder why they would want to cover that up? I wonder if we'll see new intros for all shows?
-
Seems like the breaking news graphics are the template for the new graphics.
Like NBC News graphics package used by WNBC they are mixing serif and sans serif fonts.
On the "Live" and City name graphic they use different fonts.
The only thing I don't like is the full width lower thirds with the moving colors on the sides.
TWC needs to move like other news channels and format for 16:9 and letterbox the video on the SD feed.
It would not effect the LDL.
-
Do you guys have the open/graphics for First Forecast and On the Radar?
DP did not get new graphics. They are still using there 2008 graphics.
-
I'll check the DVR and post pics from the AM shows.
Day Planner has the new lower third and Live & City name bug.
As you said the rest of the graphics package is old.

I wonder why DP gets to keep their original graphics after all these years. Is DP getting a new name next year? I also found it odd that stepf only did an hour of morning rush.
-
Upon further review no shows got new graphics packages.
All they did was change the show logos and intro animations for the shows that got renamed and all shows now have the new live bug and lower thirds.
I wonder why they did not change everything at the same time?

I guess FO is gone and replaced by First Forecast. On the Radar (like Sunrise Weather) is useless because it only airs for 30 minutes and they should of just put First Forecast at that time slot.
Does WUWA still have there April 2012 graphics or did they change it again? I am guessing that WCL still has there 2011 graphics.

The fact that Day Planner didn't get a new set, but WUWA did (and it just got a new set in April) makes me think that either:
a.) Day Planner will be nixed in the not too-distant future, or re-named.
b.) Day Planner will be receiving a new graphics package in the not too-distant future.
EDIT: Can't help but be reminded of these graphics by Morning Rush.

All shows from Atlanta use the same studio.
My guess is Day Planner is going to be replaced with the new talk show format in 2013.
They have the Digital Media Center studio with the couch and chairs they can use.

I think he meant a new set of graphics

In that case I agree and the whole thing is odd.
Some shows have new logos and animated intros, some have the same logos and intros.

All shows have a new lower third graphic with red sides and a live bug that is red and that does match the color scheme of the shows graphics.
Plus the show name at the bottom left on the LDL does not use the show logo or font.
Here's the extra graphics on the lower third when the LDL is off,

IMHO, these new graphics are tacky. Their colors do not match, the use of strange objects, mismatched text styles... it's just all very unappealing to me. :huh:

I only like the Live bug.
-
The constantly red lower 3rd doesn't really appeal to me; it seems to fit better with the WUWA graphics they just nixed (minus the red color). The others, while graphically "unified" look kind of slapped together. Still on the fence.
-
It would've been smart to have different graphics for each new show instead of the same red L3rds.
-
I think why they are still using the red colored L3s is due to Sandy's aftermath.

It doesn't make sense to have them on non-Sandy or non-severe weather pieces, though.

I think "Sandy aftermath" coverage has been over for awhile, so I can't see why they would still be using red L3rds for that reason. Didn't things go back to normal before the switch to the new graphics?
But, agreeing with everyone else, if they are indeed using red L3rds for all shows, all the time, that's just absurd. It no longer gives "uniqueness" to the different shows, and most importantly, what the heck are they going to use for their "heightened alert" modes?

Their overuse is probably to make it seem that everything is "breaking news".... it's not the best approach.

I don't see a major difference between any of them, they were all composed in the same manner as far as the openings except WUWA because they're the only ones that used head-shots.
EDIT: Also I've come to the same conclusion that you did that DP is most likely getting axed next year. It makes absolutely no sense to keep being the only show they keep skipping over for graphical changes in the weekday lineup. :no:

For whatever reason, they flow better than Morning Rush, IMO. Maybe it's just the music. And OTR has that nice touch with the radar beacons over major cities, and central squares in its opening. Shame it's such a short show.

I agree. The new show line-up after a week to watch isn't that bad. I actually do like the new intros now and the new music. However, I'm still unsettled on the Lower thirds.

Weekned Now has an updated background behind the maps,
Here's the current background the other shows use and the new Weekend Now background.

In my opinion, the maps need SOME sort of frame around them (small or large) to not look cheesy.

Map graphics are starting to change to match the intro and lower thirds.
The Max Radar graphic is updated on all shows except Day Planner that was using the old graphics.

TWC keeps updating there Lower 3rds and Titlebars every year. They should just stick to one lower 3rd design for 3 years. There is no reason to keep updating there lower 3rds every year.

That's just your opinion, though and not theirs. If they have the money to keep updating their graphics then they can do just that. Money is probably the only reason in my opinion that they would ever even keep the same graphics for more than 2 years.. Besides a change in lower thirds is nothing compared to an entire revamp (or relaunch) simultaneously.
-
The least they could do is have organized graphics with a theme. Its boring having random graphics mixed together.

They finally updated the 7 Day Forecast to match the new graphics.

I agree all graphics should have been updated at the same time.
It was silly to start with the show intros and lower thirds and then do the map graphics.

I really do miss TWC's originality in their graphics. Unforunately, everything now seems to be generic or bland. What ever happened with the blue? The reds just aren't true to them, imo.

Uhmm...let's be rational now. I'd love to have them or a nice, unified graphics theme return the the channel, but at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter to our lives. So, take a step back look at it in a different perspective. :rolleyes:

The Weather Channel is boring. boring. boring(: Twilight. Justin Bieber. And MSNBC is more entertaining to watch. They could attract more viewers if there graphics were unified and had a theme. Having graphics that are all mixed together all the way from 2008 is unappealing and does not want to make you keep watching.

To people who actually pay attention to things like that. Everyone's eyes here are trained on things like that, because we're not the average viewer. Some of us work in or are studying graphic design, television production, or film production, and to us they stick out like a sore thumb. But ask-and I have-an average viewer...ask several, actually, why they don't watch, and they will say "I can't find the weather anymore." This problem has been discussed ad nauseum, and I don't want to drag it out again. It's not the graphics that make people disinterested in watching. Maybe to us, not to them.

I have to agree with you on this. Reynolds Wolf does an excellent job of running this show on his own. Everything flows smoothly.

Forward to 1:26 to hear the song.
