New schedule to come June 2nd?
« on: May 27, 2008, 04:26:35 AM »
Since I get the schedule a week in advance on DirecTV, I decided to check in on the schedule for June 2nd, and as it turns out, the schedule is looking a little different; apparently long-form is taking a step back and being relegated to FFN/ICHT at 2 PM ET and 3 AM ET. Apparently Abrams & Bettes will become a two hour show from 7-9, EE will run in its usual slot, and Rich & Sharon will "do that" an hour earlier at 11 PM ET. EEWC will still run for two hours and be rebroadcast at 1 AM ET to make way for the aforementioned FFN/ICHT block at 3 AM ET. Apparently nothing will change for the weekends.

TV Guide also confirms this new lineup and shows the same lineup for the week afterward. Why they wouldn't air HD long-form when they're trying to promote TWC|HD, however, is beyond me and also casts a slight shadow of a doubt as to whether or not FFN/ICHT would really air every day.

Wow, no primetime long-form programming during the week? That's a plus. So I guess Storm Stories will be discontinued?

Unless new episodes of FFN and ICHT were produced, that schedule has to be wrong, IMO. Though, I'm loving how EEWC will air an hour earlier (giving love to west coast viewers), and A&B is being extended. :yes:

If this schedule holds true, last night was the final night of weekday long-form programming. They're preempting tonight.

This is bad how........? We've always complained about live weather being cut away for recorded programs, and now that they've (TWC) finally woken up and listened to us, were complaining that the long-form programs are disappearing! I don't get it! :wacko:
Where does Steve say the preemption/new schedule is bad?  :huh:

I know Steve didn't say it anywhere. As I read this thread in general, some of the comments are good (in favor of new schedule) and some are bad (not in favor). Sorry, for the nonspecific post....I just deleted it. :blushing:

I think we're all in favor of a new schedule with less long form!

Although once the new season of WWCH starts, those episodes will probably air on weekdays again.

Like I said, I miss understood it.

You're probably right though about WWCH. Anything good on TWC only lasts for a short time anyway! :sunglasses:

Yeah, I saw the new schedule on my TV Guide as well. I'm upset that they'll be playing ICHT and FFN more often now. I don't really care for those shows, It's bad enough that Forecast Earth is shown like 5 times a day with the same episode. It'll get old fast. They need to keep Storm Stories if anything...

You have got to be kidding me.  That's the best news!

Sweet!

Aren't they going to need more OCMs to pull off all these hours?
