Also the Press website got a redesign so it looks similar to weather.com
Here we go again

I wonder if they ever turn down any ideas.

"New shows"...more like "new pieces of junk that belong on the Discovery Channel". :(

:facepalm: TWC is going to fail in the ratings. I don't know why TWC is not listening to it's viewer feedback.
-
Just a reminder to what happened in the last thread announcing new shows. Let's try not to get this one locked up tight.

They gotta make more money somehow, i wonder if there would ever be a ratings spread to show how these long form programming shows are doing.

Does TWC ever release there Ratings Info?

I'd also like to know how TWC's ratings are.

The only time you seem to hear about ratings from TWC is during their hurricane/tornado coverage.

Unfortunately, the shows are here to stay and they will never go away, and we the viewers cannot do anything about it :no: IMO it's best to either stick with it or stop watching TWC altogether. Simply complaining about how lame these shows or anything like that won't change anything. TWC is just trying to attract more viewers (and perhaps maybe a younger generation of viewers) and trying to earn more money, despite the fact they probably have millions of it already. Let's just do what's best for TWC and learn to live with it, whether we like or not.

You all realize that long-form existed in the early days of TWC, too? There were some shows and featured specials I watched that taught me a lot about weather and helped me to pursue what I'm doing now. In fact, one of my favorite TWC memories of all time was a long-form show: Exposures. Go look it up on YouTube for a few episodes to see what I mean. :thumbsup:
I realize things have changed a lot since the 1990s, and I find the bigger issue being that society doesn't want to learn more about weather and the world around them. Don't blame NBC or TWC for simply following suit and pursuing ways to reach the mass majority that only wants eye candy. You're all a more intelligent group, which is why you all feel upset. However, let's hope TWC tries to come up with something new for long-form. Tipping Points is actually one of the better ideas I've seen in a while here. If you use education and relevant material as the focus along with a fair scheduling of when it airs so that it doesn't interrupt live weather, a long-form show can be very useful to viewers.

Is it that people's taste in television has suddenly changed, or that networks didn't pay attention to that and focused more on their own formats?
-
This all goes back to the article I posted back in June. They were rolling out new original programming including one new series every week.

I just try to catch TWC when it is live.
