I would like it a lot better if they got rid of the re-broadcast. Id give it an "average" if they did that. "Good" if they ditched the MSNBC and CNBC stories

Didn't Tyler express his opinion back on the third post of this thread? 
Correct.

Same here. I'd be awake and watching if they were gone.

I initially gave the show an average, but I now would say poor. I do not like the CNBC reports on there. I thought it was The Weather Channel, not the News Channel, but we don't need to get into that debate again. Al is great, but we are obviously getting way too much of him. Stephanie however, kind of gives the show at least some appeal.

They could replace Al Roker with Al Bundy and the touchscreen with a commode and a laugh track.  Or just give Al and the set a makeover.  Maybe someone can get away with a Shocking Blue suit, but it's not Al Roker.  And the blue and yellow set looks like a carton of orange juice.

I voted average because it sort of reminds me of a rip off of the Today show. I also don't like that touch screen that Al uses. You can barely see the map.

  What should TWC and NBC do to improve this show so that you would vote it a higher impression in my poll?  Please use constructive criticism here.
Drop AL. He is not a weatherman. He is a TV personality and NBC is trying to find something to do with him.

Al is not even in the studio nearly half of the time. It's mainly Mike and Steph who present during those times when Al is not present.

Yea.. I guess they would have to drop the whole idea of a morning show. Then what would they do?... maybe cover the weather?  :thinking:  :yes:

Don't worry the show is rotting anyway with the vocal music i bet the 6am and 10am slots are a waste of space (just put looping forecasts for 1hr and maybe ratings will skyrocket!) Bye Al your show is on the verge of extinction.

WUWA has only been out for about three months and, from the looks of things, it already is not like it "should have" been.

For example, why is Mike a part of WUWA? :wacko: :dunno: And why are Steph and Al gone so much?  :wacko: :dunno:

I know Steph and Al have important things to do, but if that's the case, then maybe there shouldn't have even been a WUWA. :thinking:
