the TWC logo is no longer blue it's more of a green tint.

I'm sure all of you have seen the green TWC logo that they use for Earth Day and such.  I wonder if this new logo is one step closer to a permanent green logo.  I prefer green, anyway, so it wouldn't bother me.

I doubt it (and hope not).  The greenish color they use for "Green is Universal Week" is way too bright, IMO - like a lime green.  It needs to be toned down a little.  I, however, like the color used in the opener that was posted.  A nice little change from the typical dark blue.

Here's my judgement: The blue shall remain as is. So no one must challenge! That is all. Higher power has spoken. :bleh:

Although I gotta admit I'm kinda diggin' that greenish-blue logo on the previous page... :P

It looks like TWC's cutting back even more on weekends. Starting November 16th, they'll be no live programming at all after 2PM.

Not even a 9PM show? Or, is it too far out? Either way, don't over due longform TWC! I don't want you in another Dish dispute and almost lose you again! Unless, Weather All The Time fills our longform needs. We won't know that until it starts.

On the other hand, watched the end of 9PM WCL last night and Chris was doing the regluar longform intro, then he said weather updates will be at least every 30 min. So maybe the updates will be more frequent when needed?

Are you kidding me? I really hope this is an error. If not we better have an L bar 24/7 and local on the 8s every 10 minutes. Also the jazz and instrumentals and no vocals unless its just wuwa. How come I ask TWC a simple yes or no question and dont respond at all? Very bad costumer support. Plus this schedule is really  :censored: up.

Since when did WCL start at 9? I thought it was always at 10 after longform :huh:

I forgot to mention also that all the weekend programs - Sunrise Weather, Weekend View and Weekend Now are being cancelled and replaced by Weather Center.

After seeing some of these posts, especially on the programming part, it basically removes any chance of my seeing live TWC as I know it.  I mean 5 to 8pm with live weather and then reality shows until 4am?  Come on!
It's turning into a national version of a kind of AccuWeather channel where there are probably TAPED clips of meteorologists.

I would actually drop everything to see 10pm with even a tropical update with live people and they are taking that away?  :dunno:

Surely they must have a backup plan in case there's volatile weather here across the globe or any part of the day and/or night during the week at least i hope they do.

:thumbdown:

What on earth?  Between the lack of weekend shows other than WCL and the lack of live shows period after 2pm on weekends, I'm afraid the channel is going to be largely unwatchable on Saturdays and Sundays.  I'll watch any football game that's on sooner than that mess, even if there's no team I care about playing.  As far as their backup plan goes, I'm afraid we saw a little taste this spring, and it wasn't good.

This makes me wonder if one day Dave Schwartz's network will rise to prominence and start appearing on basic cable packages while TWC will become NatGeo Lite.  Weather watchers need a new channel to fill the void being left by TWC's transition to Longform Network.

Well after seeing a youtube of the ocm announcing changes coming in november they were talking about lot8s. Weather all time also most likely means frequent local on the 8s also. There advertising getting your weather 24/7. So maybe ocm's will cut in for maybe a winter weather update or things like that. It seems unethical to put all info in one L Bar. Plus radar is needed too. So I would calm down just a little bit as 8 hours of no local on the 8s is not ethical. Again it might seem repetitive me but crossing my fingers for Jazz and instrumentals.  :lol:
