Where is Weather Center Live tonight?
« on: May 15, 2013, 07:58:57 PM »
Ok I'm kind of confused about programming tonight. Where is Weather Center Live tonight? It was supposed to be on at 7pm Eastern Time. I always watch Weather Center Live at 7pm and I'm very disappopinted that it's not on right now. Please fill me in. I have not seen any weather since 2pm after Day Planner went off air today. :no:

It seems TWC made a bad decision to re run the tornado week shows instead of doing live weather shows 5pm-8pm, 10pm and 1am.
They got caught with tornadoes in Texas and were forced to go live at 8pm.
TWC should have been live for the 7pm hour.

Thanks for the info. They should have started WCL at 5pm as usual. It's not cool to have to wait for WCL when we all expect it on at it's regular time. It would have made more sense to watch the Severe Weather Live and developing instead of watching Tornado Week programming.

Alex responded on FB,
"Alexandra Wilson Bob, we had a company meeting but cut-in to cover the storms."

I'll accept that for not being live 5pm-8pm though the TWC schedule says they are not broadcasting Weather Center Live at 10pm or 1am.

Company meeting or not, it looks like that pesky old severe weather got in the way.  :lol:  Weather writes the schedule.  Surely real tornadoes are an acceptable substitute to tornado-themed longform for TWC.  Let this be a wake up call to TWC about the true purpose of the channel. 

It was a meeting this time, but what next?  With the way things have been going, it's sad to say this seems like something they would do on an ordinary day without a meeting or any other excuse reason.  This may fly on weekends, but I take it that it wouldn't be acceptable as a regular practice on weekdays.

By the way, I wonder what kind of groundbreaking changes were being discussed in the meeting.  :huh:

These tornadoes are very bad and though I do give TWC credit for being live since 8pm they should have never decided to not do any live programming 5pm to 4am.

I take some of that credit away as TWC is on tape at 1am when Weather Center Live should be on after very dangerous tornadoes in Texas.

According to my DirecTV's schedule, WCL will be back tonight at 5 pm, 10 pm, and 1 am ET as usual.  Why does this feel like a victory?  :noexpression:
