TWC Weekday Schedule Changes 3/26
« on: March 23, 2012, 10:51:16 PM »

TWC is going to move some things around in their schedule to bring viewers some new programming. Starting Monday Nick and Vivian will keep you informed on Day Planner from 11-2 ET. Beginning April 14 I will cover the weekends between 11-2 ET and again from 4-5 pm ET. I will be working with Todd. I hope you'll join us!

Our last day on the LATE LATE shift. Join Jim Cantore, Chris Warren and me at 4p, 7p & 10p ET beginning Monday! Weather Center LiVE will still air at 1am ET. #WCL

That means TWC will be on tape 2pm-4pm and 5pm-7pm and Heather takes Maria's place on Weekends.  :censored:
Weather Center Live will be on 4pm, 7pm and 10pm with the same OCM's.
Thw 1am edition will have different OCM's.

Not sure what this means for Maria LaRosa who is losing her weekend shows.

Maybe the WCL 1AM ET will be hosted by Kelly and Paul or Adam and Kim. I will miss seeing Crystal since I watch WCL at 10PM PT / 1 AM ET.

I hope that TWC will not get rid of Maria. She is one of my favorite OCMs. This is just another reason why TWC is not good anymore.

If Crystal was working the late-night WCL shifts, then who was working the earlier ones at 7 PM eastern?

Also, I really like Heather Tesch, so I hope the disappointment about that change is more for the loss of Maria than it is for Heather taking over Maria's spot, because I think Heather will do a good job.  Still miss the days when she was on YWT and then DP, though. :(

Finally, what happened to Carl Parker?  Is he on regularly anymore?  I remember he and Heather used to do the "earlier" DP shifts.

So its essentially the weekend schedule being moved to weekdays?

Hes on with Heather during the former half of day planner :yes:

In the old format Chris and Crystal were the main OCM's for WCL at 7pm, 10pm and 1am.
A combination of two or three from Kim, Kelly, Adam and Paul would contribute to all three broadcasts.
Jim Cantore was on 7pm and 10pm.
With the new format Jim will be on the 4pm, 7pm, and 10pm editions of WCL.

My guess is there will be new pairing of OCM's for 1am. Kelly and Paul are the main OCMs for the weekend editions of WCL.
It could be Kim and Adam.

Maybe the new video wall will debut on the day of the schedule change?

I'm guessing that Carl and Maria will be now fill-ins. 

I still don't like how TWC is getting rid of live programming hours.

it would be nice if the new playlist started on Monday when the changes are occurring, but i bet it won't happen.

I like how she says "lots of weather." Lets see if that comes true or not.  :rolleyes:

If TWC had new programming to air 2pm-4pm I could understand the schedule change but checking the guide it's reruns of new and older shows.
Just like a few years ago I think they will eventually go back to live programming 2pm-4pm.

I wonder whose ridiculous idea was to add more long-form programming to weekdays   :thinking:

I disagree. It was more than likely the programming director's idea, but viewers are the ones who determine if the concept should stay or go.

This new schedule seems weird. :blink:  At least there's none of this "Day Planner" when the day's more than half-over stuff anymore, but one hour of WCL at 4:00 pm then back to long-form until 7 seems very silly.  Especially (though I know this wasn't always the case) since WCL has the theme of being a "night" show, if you know what I mean.

Also, aren't Nick and Vivian doing DP from 11 am to 2 pm?  weather.com's guide is incorrect; still showing Carl and Heather hosting. :thinking:
