General TWC Discussion

Weird, I just saw a TWC ad on ABC Family

When i was down in the bronx they played a TWC ad on TLC.

Special Edition (aka red mode) of YWT... Mike's back after two and a half weeks.

Doesn't take much to go into red alert! Lets get some storm alert music

So, this is how TWC is going to make up for having no storm alerts or any hint of red modes during the last hurricane season.  Put up a red mode for an arctic air mass that will sweep the country over the next several days, which doesn't even constitute itself as a storm.   Personally, I'd rather see normal coverage with special blue graphics to indicate the arctic blast coming as no one associates red with extreme cold, and it's sending a mixed message to viewers who normally associate all the red on the screen with serious storms.

Ditto. They're *kinda* taking it too far.

Where is this in the studio?

[Mike M]

Could be the old studio, with a new backdrop intact...

That is my thought as well.  Wherever this is, I sure do like the backdrop

It's in the back newsroom where they report on what's happening on weather.com and so forth.

Todd Sanchez Santos in for Nick on PME.

Looks like that's the case. They just showed a wideshot of the old studio where the OCM offices are, and the backdrop was there.

Why does TWC show segments from the radio meteorologists? Are they capable of doing something the OCM's can't? The radio mets should be doing their jobs - working on radio, not TV. Plus I doubt they even like being on camera, and they present the same exact things the OCM's present. It just doesn't make sense, IMO.

They've been doing that since Nor'Ida. I don't seem to get it either.
