Like the thread at TWC Classics, just post any small things that you are noticing about TWC here that don't need a new topic.
To start, I notice that TWC has been showing a lot of pictures from my area (Pensacola, FL). They must like my city now or something. :P
-
Good idea Stephen! 8)
-
I just saw a commercial promoting Storm Stories (not the Viewer's Favorites one, but just general Storm Stories)... <_<
Yay, TWC! :rolleyes:

Currently seeing a "Weather Update" segment via the IntelliStar dual feed with Betty Davis.

Cool. I haven't seen a Weather Update segment in about a month or so. :(

Tonight was the first time I've seen one since February or March.

Me saw last month.

Yeah, you don't see those very often. :blink:

That's good to know. :D

Wow, there hasn't been a single episode of Storm Stories on TWC in nearly 24 hours now, and the network hasn't exploded... Goes to show you TWC can live without Storm Stories (or any of that other pre-recorded junk). :P

I don't really watch Storm Stories b/c most of the episodes are boring but the one episode about the La Plata tornado in 2002 was quite interesting.

Yeah I like that one too. Kinda hits close to home because I live in MD.

I had a tornado hit my brain.

Gil, this is your only warning. These are the types of posts that will be removed. They have nothing to do with the topic, and there really is no reaason for it to even be here.
-
Im sorry.
-
Here is something that might warrant a serious beating...
It would be "different" if TWC showed Saturday night movies about the weather (either directly or indirectly). For example: "Twister," "The Perfect Storm," "Alive," "Waterworld," etc.
I am not saying it would be good or bad... just different. (Actually, with the amount of pre-recorded programs TWC airs already, I am surprised that they have not done this.)

It would indeed be differenet, but I think it would also be bad. IMO TWC doesn't focus on the weather enough as it is. Taking up another 2 hour block with a movie would jsut be helping to move them away from focusing on weather. IMO, TWC needs to just go back to all weather all the time,like it was in the 80's and 90's and drop all the glitz and glamour.

At 5:47 PM CT, my cable company aired an old Weekend View promo (I can tell because the video quality is not as good and the audio was lower). This promo, included Stephanie Abrams in it. Don't know why their airing it, because Stephanie is no longer on Weekend View. :-\
-
Your cable company? wouldnt it be TWC?
-
I'm with Gil on this one. Wouldn't TWC have been the one who aired the commercial?
Regardless, that was certainly weird. :huh:
-
yes, because cable companies have nothign to do with promos or segments. its all right from the top. The cable companies just deliver it.

The only commercials aired by the cable companies are the ones from local companies (and you can usually tell these from the rest because they are usually considerably lower quality than other commercials.

I don't know. The quality wasn't as good as if TWC were airing it. A while back, my cable company aired the HeadOn commercial, and I could tell because it wasn't at :27 past or :50 past, and the quality wasn't as good when TWC airs it.

Well local commercials do air on TWC at :17 and :47 past the hour, so I'd say it was a commercial from the cable company. Not too long ago, my cable company aired an old Storm Stories commercial which still had the old 8:00 PM ET time on it.

The only way the cable co. aired that Head On commercial is ifat the end it said something to the efffect of "available at the following retailers". Otherwise, it was a national commercial, hence aired by TWC.

What do you know? :P j/k I believe I saw a tail end of another commercial at the end of that Weekend View promo (which I notice almost always happens on cable company aired commercials), so I still believe it was aired by my cable company. :yes:

IF it was aired by your cable company, it was in error. I know cable co.operations inside and out. They do not run advertisments for channels they carrry. Think about that last sentence. Doesn't it make sense that they wouldn't do that?

I still think it was aired by my cable company. Why? Like I said before. The quality was considerably lower than promos aired by TWC, and I saw a tail end of another commercial at the end of the promo. Unless, TWC ruined the quality themselves, which is very unlikely.

I've seen it before. I once saw a local advertisement for a show on The History Channel on TWC.

That's much different, and also notdone by the cable company. In fact, its quite common to see promos for channels aired on channels other than the channel being promoted.
Stephen, considering we're talking about TWC here, I'd like to know how you came to the conclusion that its notpossible that TWC ruined the quality of the clip itself. :D
-

Because I've seen the Weekend View promos aired by TWC, and the quality is not as bad as the one that I saw tonight (which I still believe was aired by my cable company). ;)

I guess your not considering the age factor. You said that the promo you saw was (and I quote) an old one.
-

I know it's old. But it's not old enough to have that quality that I saw it had.

You weren't even pushing the quality issue until I told you that local commecials often have lower quality.

Regardless, I promise you it was not aired by the cable co. I know how things work in the cable companies, they do not promote for their channels. Its not their job.

I know for a fact that that History Channel ad I saw on TWC was inserted by the cable company because it listed the channel number for the History Channel on the ad.

Its very rare to see anything like that.

I really hate these new holiday LF openers that TWC has been using in recent months. They are more basic than the older ones and are just overall crappy. The LF opener themes that TWC used from 2003-2006 were a lot better, IMO.

/I completely agree. I hate them.
I do, however, like the ending of the 4th of July one. Other than that...still people?? Come on..make them move :P
-
Meh, the 4th of July LF opener is alright, I guess. Not the best, though. The girl in the beginning holding the sparkler looks like she doesn't care about being careful with it or not. :wacko:
-
I was just watching TWC for a few moments because we were under a Tornado Watch and I have to say, I like the holiday openers. They remind me of the older days of TWC when things WERE more basic.

Warren Madden is on Weather Center today, doing his first weekend fill-in shift since he left TWC full-time. I'm taping it, because you won't see Warren on TWC very often, let alone paired with Dave. :)
-
Damn, I didn't get the chance to see him. I do however have a full hour EEWC clip of Warren solo from October 2006. I'll post it on YouTube when i get the chance...

I have some videos of Warren Madden from 2002. I bet none of you have videos from 2002! :D :P

At 10:48 AM CT, they used a regular LOT8's opener (with a man walking on a beach in the sunset). Looks like they're bringing back those openers. :dance:
-
I can't believe it! The plain, old regular local forecast opener from August 2005 returned! It's now 12:08 pm and they still have it. I believe the LOT8's opener is a mix of the regular one and the A&B one.

Merged your topic with General TWC Discussion. ;)
Yeah, I noticed that. Hopefully it's permenant. :)
-
They've been using them for a week now, I was pretty happy to see those when I tuned to TWC this week.
-
What annoys me though is that its the same opener every time. They should use different openers at random.
-
I agree. Seeing the sam opener over and over gets boring.
-
I agree. It's better to have the old lf opener rather than the crappy A&B ones/

Vivian Brown is on Weekend Now today. That's odd. :wacko:

As the tropics are now heating up, TWC has now brought back the Hurricane Authority top of the hour bumper and Local on the 8s opener.
-
I've been seeing the Storm Stories in peril local forecast opener.
-
Here we go again with TWC overhyping with the Hurricane Authority graphics...

I disagree. This is a MAJOR Category 4 hurricane we're talking about, and it has a chance of impacting the US. Even if it doesn't, still it's going to have a major impact. This isn't a wimpy Tropical Storm, this is a full fledged major hurricane here.
-
Yeah, tehre's no overhype here. If a category 4 hurricane isn't cause for alarm, what is?
-
If there's anything good about a Category 4 hurricane, it's the fact that we won't be seeing Storm Stories for a week or so. :dance:

What? You actually like Storm Stories? :huh:
-
What? You actually like Storm Stories? :huh:
When did I say that? I was just asking what you meant when you replied to Stephen's post.
-
I meant that I get to see the LOT8's with music rather than the L-bar forecast and regular local forecast every 30 minutes. Plus it gives TWC some weather reporting to do. Rather than all the crappy shows such as Storm Stories.
-
Yeah, tehre's no overhype here. If a category 4 hurricane isn't cause for alarm, what is?
an F-5 tornado!
-
Yeah, tehre's no overhype here. If a category 4 hurricane isn't cause for alarm, what is?

Carl Parker and Jennifer Lopez are on Weekend Weather Center this afternoon. They must be really short on OCMs today. :o
-
yea I was shocked to seem them both on WWC, I was like woah! :o haha
-
I saw this. Why is this surprising? So they are on at a different time..Whoa, end of the world!
-

They're not usually on on weekends, it's rare that you get to see them on weekends. They're normally on on weekdays from 4-7 ET (3-6 CT).
-
oh...I see...

Betty Davis looks pale and short of breath. She should be in labor now!!

Yeah shes looking a little due if you ask me, I forgot she was pregnant until she turned to the map.. gah
-
I hope shes married... :D
-
NO, an F-5 tornado. I don't care about the E.
Me neither. I don't get why they added the "E." A change in the tornado scale should not mean that the F scale should be renamed to the EF scale. It makes no sense whatsoever.
-
I hope shes married... :D
Duh.
-
I hope shes married... :D
Duh.
Duh what? It is possible that you can have a baby and not be married..come one... this is 2007 :rolleyes: :lol:
anywaho... yea.. I watched TWC a lot these past few days..and I'd say they aren't doing to bad of a job balancing everything out.

If you think Kyle's post was mean, then you obviously don't know Gil well. :ph34r:

Gil is 10 times more mean.

This is for general TWC discussion. The current discussion is NOT about TWC, thus not on topic.

Wow, what a surprise, yet another topic going off discussion :o
Anyways.. yesterday I saw a really neat Evening Edition severe weather graphics, but it was on Weather Center. It was pretty schnazzy

Don't worsen it. Extra comments about it aren't necessary. I don't know if you noticed or not but I took care of it.
-
yes i noticed ;)
-
Good. Then further comment isn't necessary. Leave it be.

Interesting... Bill Keneely and Samantha Mohr are on Weekend Now today (even though they did Weekend View). :wacko:
-
Well it IS Thanksgiving weekend, so no doubt at least a few OCM's have probably taken off, possibly including whomever usually does WN.

That's true, but I wouldn't have expected Bill and Sam to do an extra shift after they already did 4 hours (Weekend View).

It seems unlikely, but if their THAT short handed, anything is possible.

It's unusual for them to be this shorthanded (at least in the OCM dept... I mean, they're always shorthanded in their graphics dept. :P ).

Yes. I can't recall any other Thanksgiving (or any holiday, for that matter) where they've been this shorthanded. :no:
-
That seems rather hard to believe. :unsure:
-
OK, now Jennifer has returned for Weekend Now (don't know if she's hosting solo or with another OCM yet, though).
-
Well, as gary said, it IS a holiday. You know, OCM's also have lives too :whistling: :P.
This is just a silly little thought in my head, but maybe some OCM's are becoming less loyal to their network :ninja:
-
I have my doubts about that second thing. :lol:
-
Warren Madden has just stepped in for weekend now, and is indeed doing a solo :blink:
-
That seems rather unusual... :unsure:
-
OK, now Warren Madden is on Weekend Weather Center with Ryan Goswick.
-
That seems rather unusual also.... :unsure:
-
You know there is a shortage when you call Goswick in :yes: :P
Warren mentioned on WN that many people were "sick" (not the exact word..but close to it)
-
Sick? Seems hard to believe. I think many of them are simply off due to Thanksgiving weekend.
-
You know there is a shortage when you call Goswick in :yes: :P
And Warren, too. They're both freelance OCMs. ;)

carl and goswick are gonna fight i just know.
Goswicks deep zombie like voice and Carl's soft pleasant voice dont match :no:

I don't get why they'd fight.... :unsure:

it was a bad exaggeration

You can say that again. :P

I checked my schedule, and it looks like A&B will be two hours all this week. Next week, Weather Changed History will move to 8PM eastern (encore at 11PM), and then Evening Edition will air from 9-11PM. Epic Conditions and WeatherVentures won't be airing anytime within the next two weeks, so I guess they were discontinued (or at least put on a hiatus).
-
How are they canceling those two shows if there was extensive advertising about them? They only debuted for about a month

Do they still show the old TWC logo at end of Storm Stories?
-
Do they still show the old TWC logo at end of Storm Stories?
Yes, at the end of all the episodes made from 2003 to 2005.
-
Since the openers are right from the TWC site, you cannot re post them here as not only are the property of TWC, they are on the TWC Server.. That is Exactly like people stealing videos from here and posting them on YouTube. However you can link to them.
-
They were on this site before, so I'm merely replacing what was already here.
-
Do they still show the old TWC logo at end of Storm Stories?
Yes, at the end of all the episodes made from 2003 to 2005.
Actually, they edited those out a while back and replaced them with the new logo screen.
On the SS episodes produced by Towers from 2003-2005, the old logo is still shown in the lower right hand corner during the question asked at the end of every episode.

They've not aired that opener anymore since the beginning of 2007. :no:
-
Yeah, they discontinued that when master control switched to a new format, which I dislike. They don't show the whole segment openers anymore (they cut off the last few seconds).
-

They do some times. It just depends, they air all the openers manually now instead of them being timed.

During special weather conditions I would imagine. :unsure:

For no apparent reason, the Local Forecast appeared at 9:01 PM CT during the first EE segment. :wacko: (There WAS an LF at 8:58 PM CT, BTW)
-
And now, a Weekly Planner at :16 past. :wacko: Apparently, all these problems we've seen so far have been apparently caused at the top of the 9 PM CT hour, where commercials kept on interrupting the start of the EE broadcast.
-
And now we're seeing a Gardening Lifestyles segment not normally seen on EE.
-
Wow, those are some weird happenings. :shocked:
-
Wow, those are some weird happenings. :shocked:
That's for sure. Although, I think the timing issue due to what happened at the top of the hour has since been fixed, and we won't be seeing anything else unusual.

It's interesting how some of the OCM's still refer Evening Edition as "The Weather Channel Evening Edition," when the official name of that show was shortened to simply "Evening Edition" back in the 2003 relaunch.

Force of habit probably. ;)

Wow, I noticed that this thread is an exact simulcast of a thread over at TWCC. Even the name is nearly identical, despite that I was told that no such thread was ever made over there. :rolleyes:
So much for exclusive content, eh? :rolleyes:
-
despite that I was told that no such thread was ever made over there. :rolleyes:
I'm not sure who told you that, but that thread has been there since October 2006, before the existence of this site. ;)
-
Hey, this site still gets plenty of exclusive content. We were talking about the new Forecast Earth nearly a week before any mention of it was ever made on TWCC. Even these two threads tend to discuss different things at different times, and it makes it easier to carry on different discussions in different threads.
Anyway, back to the errors tonight. I don't know if anyone else here has TWC HD, but on that channel, they actually aired the entire :06-:08 commercial break while EE was going on followed by an actual HD LF complete with music at 9:02 CT. At the same time on the SD channel, they aired a part of the :06 break but then switched over to the :14 commercial break, which kept switching back and forth with the studio feed until things were resolved.

Yes, for Evening Edition.
They also added Day Planner, PM Edition, Overnight Outlook, Weekend Outlook, and Weekend Planner.
And Storm Stories.

Yes, for Evening Edition.
Actually, all the graphics changed in the 2003 relaunch (on the same day). :yes:

That was added several months before the '03 relaunch, in January of that year, IIRC.

By the way, as of this past Friday, the current Weather Center package became the longest running Weather Center package of this decade, beating out the 2001-2003 package. The original WC package still remains the longest running package in the show's history, as that lasted at least 3 years and 4 months. If the current package remains active even after YWT and EE go HD, then the current package stands a good chance at being the longest running WC package ever.

Interesting. Nick Walker is hosting Your Weather Today this morning (along with Heather Tesch, and he did host First Outlook this morning as well). :wacko:

Probably on an all expense paid trip to Hawaii

Just now Mike Bettes said "there were straigh-lined women.." :lol:

It looks like TWC has installed another new Skytracker unit recently. Sharon just mentioned "Skytracker 6" a few minutes ago.

Wow, for once I'm not the only one who hasn't seen something. :lol: :P
-
Was it my imagination or was someone leaning on Vivian's chair when Weathercenter began at 2:00? I thought maybe it was Dr. Forbes or someone else they were planning to go to, but they didn't. :wacko:
-
I saw it, but I think he was leaning on the table behind vivian..I don't think it was her chair.
But yea, the person never left
-
Kelly Cass and Betty Davis are hosting the 4PM ET hour of Weather Center since Storm Stories was pre-empted today. Though, I think Storm Stories wasn't shown yesterday and the WC crew did host the last hour of WC.
-
Are they working 4 hours today?
-
Are they working 4 hours today?
Who? The PME crew? No, they only work until 7PM ET when Abrams & Bettes starts and goes for two hours, followed by a three-hour Evening Edition.
-
Are they working 4 hours today?
The control room staff is, however working in 4 hour shifts :P
-
Was Weather Center full-controlled today? They showed stuff that I don't normally see in a master controlled show.
-

Yes because they cancelled SS

Wait...they cancelled Storm Stories? Or was it just because of the severe weather the last couple of days?

It was just pre-empted due to severe weather, not canceled.
-
At 11:10/1:10 CT tonight on EEWC, they used the 03-05 style lower third with the still current EE background that they've been using on the Weather Updates lately. I never thought that would make it into a normal broadcast.
IMO, they should just stick with that one - nice and small.
-
At 3:55 PM ET before going to break, they used the Day Planner teasers lower third.
-
Interesting, they're using the original A&B live tag (the non-"shiny") one on A&B tonight.
-
After the 8:58 PM ET local forecast, they showed one of those 'coming up' promos where it said something along the lines of "Watch When Weather Changed History at 8 and Evening Edition at 9" then they showed the normal WWCH top-of-the hour bump.
-
Anyone else unable to hear a word that's being said? :huh:
-
Nope, I can hear Mike fine
-
I can't hear him at all. There's no sound whatsoever. But I was able to hear the LF just prior to him just fine. :unsure:
-
The commercial audio is fine to me, but the local forecast music seems a bit soft, especially compared to the IS narration.
-
What about the current LF going on right now?
-
What about the current LF going on right now?
That is the LF I was referring to.
-
Everything seems fine now. I couldn't hear Mike at all, then the commercials came on and were fine, and then the LF was fine, and now A & B are fine. :unsure:
-
Interesting, they're using the original A&B live tag (the non-"shiny") one on A&B tonight.
And, thus far, they've been using the original one all week.
-
They're also using a new lower third on which the white-ish line separating the top and bottom lines of the L3 is thicker and creates an awkward looking A&B logo on the left. At the same time that this happened, they've restored animated corner logos for A&B, YWT, and possibly other shows.
-
I liked the animated corner logos. Gives it a "lively" look
-
Wow, I wasn't expecting this... They just used a normal Local On The 8s opener. The one with the guy walking on the beach at sunrise/sunset. I don't think I've seen that opener since last July. :thrilled:
-
The LDL bar on satellite has "CURRENTLY" in blue :huh:
-

-
And at 3:28 PM ET, they used the other old beach LF opener.
-
Hmm, now its white. But Billy i SWEAR, it was blue when i saw it three times this morning
-
And they used the green field LF opener at 3:38 PM ET.
-
Ooooh...nice. :sunglasses:
-
And they used the green field LF opener at 3:38 PM ET.
Awesome!! I hope it keeps up!! :happy: :happy:

-
It's so great to have the normal LF openers back again, especially the nighttime beach one, which I think is actually pretty funny considering that it's a parody of the original beach opener.
They've also brought back the "Bringing Weather to Life" cloud bumper at the top of the hour and replaced all of the WWCH openers with drought tips and Forecast Earth contest promos. There hasn't been a mention of WWCH all day!
-
That probably won't last long, though. They brought the regular openers back in July 2007, but within a month they were gone.
Now all we need back is the Storm Watch openers (at :50 past they've been showing the water worries opener).
-
Stephanie mentioned that Mike will be off and Jim Cantore and Dr. Greg Forbes will be on Abrams & Bettes with her. I don't recall Jim being in any show other than Evening Edition in years.
-
i hafta see this!
-
In the end, he only wound up doing one segment at :30 past; it was still an interesting move to have him on A&B. I'm guessing they did that to bring variety to the show rather than having Steph do the entire show alone.
It was also odd that Jim Cantore was wearing a full suit tonight, yet he strangely didn't even wear a tie for the entire rest of the week. It should be the other way around...
-
Tonight during EE, Jim was showing the VIL products on SkyTracker to show hail cores. This is the first I've seen the VIL products on air in quite a while.
-

So true, they haven't used those in ages. Does TWC feel that they're too "complicated" for their viewers?

Yeah they probably went the way of the isobar. <_<

They took out the isobars? <_<
-
They took out the isobars? <_<
Well, they still exist on the "Current Weather" map, but that map isn't used very often.
-
Yeah, I hardly ever see the current weather map anymore. All they show now when they talk about current weather conditions is the SkyTracker radar, which I don't like. I remember back before around 2004, the current weather map used to almost always be the first thing they'd show in a segment.
-
Exactly. They use CrapTracker way too much <_<
-

Yeah they used to be on ALL the maps. <_<
-
Tonight on EE, Skytracker is being controlled by a third party off-camera, just like on the weeknight EE. I wonder if the weeknight behind-the-scenes crew is running the show tonight.
-
It could be. Skytracker's control is the same as yestaday
-

Yesterday was a weeknight. ;)

Yet another random thought: I noticed that a few days ago, the LCD TV next to the Global Forecast Center was removed, and I noticed today that the TV on the right side of the big desk looks different than before. I do know that the TV at the big desk started going bad recently, so I wonder if they took the GFC TV and moved it over to the big desk because they didn't want to buy a new TV for a set that will go out of use by the end of the year. I might be wrong about this, though; I'll have to go back and check if it really is a different TV at the big desk now.
-
There is an extra hour of Evening Edition tonight, and it's being hosted by Cheryl Lemke solo. However, the teasers still had voiceovers from Adam Berg and Kristina Abernathy (because it was pre-recorded).
-
Also strange was the WWCH bumper at the top of the hour. Things were really weird at the top of the hour.
-
Now we're back to full-time WWCH mode! *faints*
-
Okay, I now understand why we actually got that brief reprieve from WWCH ads, but now they're back to stay for the time being. :(
What happened is that on Friday morning, in preparation for the expected severe weather outbreak, the programming department issued a long-form preemption order for Sunday, meaning that WWCH would not air. However, TWC only has two types of WWCH ads: one that says "Sunday" and one that says "Tomorrow." Since the next episode of WWCH wouldn't be until Monday, neither ad fit the situation, so they had no choice but to fall back on the generic ads, bumpers, and LF openers. Now that it actually is Sunday, the "Tomorrow" ad for WWCH is applicable, so we're getting that shoved down our throats again.

Does anyone have a decent quality clip of the shop at weather.com holiday intro?

I KNOW I've seen her referred to as Jennifer.

I KNOW I've seen her referred to as Jennifer.
I've seen her referred to as Jennifer online before, but she's never been reffered as Jennifer on air, AFAIK.

I noticed that the audio of the LF music and any of the TWC promos are significantly quieter than anything else on TWC, including national broadcasts with the OCM's. Is this happening for anyone else?

I'm not sure where to put this:
but have u noticed that TWC has been improving customer service. I remember i had to wait 3 weeks for a reply and then another week to get the playlists but now within a couple of hours I am getting a playlist online and plus I'm also able to request for an autographed pic of Dave Scwartz!
-
Interesting. Kevin Robinson is hosting YWT this morning (along with Heather Tesch).
-
Mike Seidel is with Jeff on Weather Center. Looks once again TWC is short-handed on OCM's.
-
Why don't they show the shows' respective storm watch opener anymore? They just show either the water worries or the boring "storm update" on-the-fly openers.
-
Probably because of the lack of Stormy weather. They tend to show it often in the summers, where stormy weather is more frequent
-

They never show the storm watch opener during the summer. Usually they'd show the tropical update opener at :50 past.

I remember seeing in the summer from 99-04
-
The light on the pillar to the left of the GFC burned out sometime today. The studio is going to start looking really dark and gloomy now unless they decide to replace some of these lights. They've been letting the studio go without repair since 12/30. They should fix it up one last time to say goodbye, IMO.
-
I think it would be a good idea to make at least a few repairs. I mean, after all they still have another 3 months or so before they actually move to the new studio. I think it would look very bad for them to just let the studio go without any repairs.
-
Well, they let it go all last spring until they made a few repairs in June and finally repaired it to perfect condition in August.
If you look at a video from say, May, almost every single background light was out; the place looked like a dungeon.

Oh my lord, I never saw Alexandra wear so much jewelry until now. She has 3 LAYERS of them right now! :blink:

Tonight on EE during the Weekly Planner, they showed a "Weather Extremes" lower third, then after that finished they moved back to the regular forecast lower thirds.

Carl Parker and Jennifer Lopez are back together once again today on Weekend Now. :)

I had a feeling we would start seeing them working together again more often now that Dave's out of the way. He used to be the primary fill-in for Day Planner Mon-Wed and for Weekend Now until getting moved to a Wed-Sun shift.
It seems to me that Carl is more comfortable and conversational when working with Jennifer. When he's working with a few other OCMs, he has a tendency to be "strictly business" at times.

I'm watching fprecast earth and now Heidi Cullen says trash and landfalls are important and useful :thinking:
-
Well they are. Where else would our trash be able to go without landfills? And the trash itself is burned for energy in some places. :yes:

During the middle of PM Edition tonight, the spotlight shining on the American flag burned out. It was lit at the start of the show but burned out by the time they returned to the desk at 5:25 PM CT. I wonder if they stayed away from the desk for so long because it was flickering or something. The set is really starting to go down the dumps lighting-wise. :(
On a positive note, master control treated us with a classic extra-long PM Edition opener at 5:30 CT. They haven't used one of those in over a year or more, I'd venture to guess.
-
Now tonight on EEWC, the 03-05 style lower thirds have surfaced again. (with the frozen 05-07 EE background)
-
It seems that TWC's recently launched/relaunched a new site http://www.weather.com/tv/. I've seen it mentioned various times today after Weather Ready and Health segments
-
I saw that! Yet, they didnt update the music playlists
-
Very interesting! I hadn't heard about that! :sunglasses:

I was at somebody's house they have the TWC HD LF! It's cool! :thrilled:

Hey guys, I was wondering if TWC HD will be in ever cable tv program. I guess Comcast wants more Sports Channels than important Weather.

Like they don't show what's Now they just show a 3 hr loop when i watching it
-
How do you know? No one has ever seen the HD star in person
-
Maybe it was another one, i think
-
Your probably thinking about the 4000 whenever there severe weather. Usually, it'll run on a continous radar loop
-
Well, i think was that one. :blink:

For once, Alex Steele hasn't been wearing any jewelry today! :dance:

Yea!! I was wondering when Paul is leaving EE.

For once, Alex Steele hasn't been wearing any jewelry today! :dance:

i think paul is fine in EE

I believe that. I think he should stay in his position.

You said you wanted him to move to another show :huh:

No. I was just wondering when he was, no that i said i wanted to.

He probably will be eventually and TWC keeps making scheducle changes <_<
-
I don't know, I'm pretty sure Paul will stay on EE. He's been on the show since the beginning, and I'm pretty sure TWC considers him to be the fabric of the show. He almost left the network once, so they'd probably do whatever they can to keep him around.

I remember that...wasn't it when he was asked to be interviewed be WABC-TV (i think?) for potential chief meteorologist at WABC-TV (?)

yes he is on at 4:30am time slot on the weekends with alex wallace
-
Mark is one of my favorites. Its a shame they put him on at 4AM on weekends. I never get to see him anymore. Why is it all the good ones are on at the worst times? :rolleyes:
-
He's on at 4am?! Boy, that is VERY unusual :shocked:
-
Mark's on 95% of the time on Weekend Outlook, along with Alex Wallace, Eboni Deon, and (I believe) Ryan Goswick.
I'm up at that time on the weekends (6:30AM).

Actually, it's not Ryan Goswick (he normally appears later in the day on Weekend Weather Center), but Ray Stagich. Also, the 4:30am-5:00am time slot on Weekend Outlook is always hosted by a solo OCM, much like the 4:00am-5:00am time slot on First Outlook.
-

Because they want to so some fresh new faces during the day also i saw Warren madden on last weekend during the afternoon and Mark is also one of my favorite OCM's and so is warren
-
I was wondering about that. No fair we get to see thim in the Afternoon or Evening.
-
I have a feeling Mark might be nearing retirement; he's put in a god 26 years thus far, and he's only on TV on Sundays at this point (rarely on Saturdays, as well)
Apparently he also appears on weather.com, but I don't check weather.com every day.

Yeah I've been thinking the same thing. It'll be sad to see him go. :(
As for weather.com, yes I've seen him there several times. :yes:

Mancuso did make TWC a revolution.
-
Caal (in Alexandra's Southern pronunciation) is working EE again tonight, just like last night, which is really weird considering that yesterday and today are his two nights off. I wonder what's up with that.
-
Ooooh, Tornado Warning for the Atlanta area. This is going to be a fun night.
-
I suppose something... :blink:
-
We'll likely see some weekday OCMs coming in for EE tonight; there's no way Adam & Cheryl can do 5 hours in a row. I think I might've seen Alexandra lurking in the background, but I'm not sure.
Also, I wonder who'll host EEWC since Cheryl is working PME tonight. Warren? Rich? Sharon?
-
Paul Goodloe and Kelly Cass on EE tonight. What a strange pairing. :wacko:
-
See, I was hoping for Paul and Alexandra, so I could post some crazy statement about deja vu and it being Monday already.
Oh well. :P
-
Paul Goodloe and Kelly Cass on EE tonight. What a strange pairing. :wacko:
At first I thought it was a joke. I haven't seen the two of them together since 2000 :wacko:
-
Wow rly? I never seen Paul and Kelly together in the forecast center
-
Adam and Warren are working together tonight. I don't know about everyone else, but Adam sort of reminds me of a younger Warren; both guys have a very "personable" presentation.
-
Agreed. I think that's also why both men make great partners for Dave as well. :yes: :sunglasses:
-
Speaking of Dave, he was on the ball today, despite working with Kristin. He pretty much had no inhibition today, doing anything from humming "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" to "Schwartz on Sports" to messing with the sound effects to blowing his nose and giggling to introduce a WeatherReady segment to talking about his favorite subject: wet t-shirt contests. (Of course he speaks only from what he's told. It's not as if he's ever actually been to one or anything. :fear:)
-
Its good to see him looking loose around Krisitin, as he usually does not. He's usually at his worst when he's paired with her.
-

Yeah, her and Carl are usually his worst partners unless he just randomly decides to let loose like he did today. Ironically, he works with Kristin and Carl more often than with anyone else these days. I wonder why that is.

It was great to see Warren tonight and I agree, his presentation is very similar to Adam's. Which is a great thing...Adam Berg has become one of my favorite meteorologists on TWC and it's great to see him work with someone who has a sense of humor. I always seem to see him with Cheryl Lemke (not sure if that's the regular pairing), and while I respect her, she really has no on air-personality and has about a dozen cliches she absolutely needs to use a dozen times during her segments.
-
Kristina Abernathy is Adam's normal partner now.
Things were better when he was paired with Betty Davis, IMO.

I have been promised a job if and when I decide to return to Atlanta.

Just so were clear, I am refering to the Television part of that page :P Not the set costume designer or something weird.
In television, the technical director actually refers to the role of the vision mixer or CCU operator, and works under the supervision of the television director. It is the TD's job to manually switch video sources, perform edits and overlay titles as ordered by the director. (The director does not directly interface with the production equipment, allowing him to coordinate the production and make rapid decisions.) The TD reserves a level of autonomy in exceptional cases, such as time constraints which may force him to fade to black early, or to switch away from shots which are not to broadcast standards or quality.
The TD also functions as crew chief, making sure all positions are manned and all equipment and facilities checked out and ready before the taping session or live broadcast begins. He/she may provide training to more inexperienced members of the crew. In consultation with the director, the TD may have more or less input into the creative side of the production, depending on the situation. He/she may provide the director with guidance on crew assignments, camera shots and the most efficient way to accomplish any given effect. The TD is usually responsible for the technical quality of the signal being recorded or broadcast, and often uses waveform monitors and vectorscopes to measure video levels.

After having Carl Parker on EE last week, Paul surfaced for one special day on Saturday for severe weather coverage, but now we're back to Carl again. I wonder what's up with that.
-
I don't know...maybe some switch or something
-
No, they're still saying Carl in in for Paul. Maybe it's Paul's vacation time, and him being called in on Saturday was just a freak thing?
-
For the first time since last summer, they've pulled out the inset radar in the corner because of all of the severe weather and flooding rain.
-
Steve, just a random question... Do you have a huge notebook where you take notes of everything that goes on at TWC? You seem to know everything that has gone on at TWC within the past couple of years down to the exact date. Either that, or you just have an insanely good memory. :thinking:
:P
-
The latter, this thing on the top of my head has a lot of TWC information built up in it.

TWC is using the same spring openers this year as they did in 2006. Though, the music is different.

We have a new :57 Station ID for spring.

I wouldn't count on that. Flavor changes don't take place all that often. :no:
-
I know. I like seeing the whole LF than part of it becuase i might turn off the tv and forget about watching it.
-
BTW, as for the station ID, it's back to using the original 2005 music and female voiceover instead of the "Storm Alert ID" music and male voiceover that they started using in the fall of 2007.

You mean the narrator?

-
I haven't seen the Spring Opener yet, but maybe something happened.
-
They're not really trying to hype spring much this year, so there really aren't many spring-related graphics or openers to be seen.
-
Yeah. I think it was Winter or Summer where most of the stuff go on.
-
No, one of the biggest hype shows in TWC history was the first day of spring in 2006.
It's just that TWC is (thankfully) not as big of a hype show as it was back then. They probably realized that it was both embarrassing and probably not very effective in the ratings dept.
I do miss seeing all of the spring graphics and hearing that music, though. :(

If not then they're extremely similar at the very least. :blink:

It was their "First Day of Spring" apple, as Dave put it.

Hm...I want to eat it. But maybe Dave or Viv did already.

Logica, I'm not going to keep warning you to quit it with the off topic and/or general nonsense posts. I'm losing my patience now.

Me 2, because the only opener i saw was the welcome to fall last year.
-
They did; they used the same music they're using this year. In 2006, they used the Weekend Now music.
-
LMAO @ Dave's props (you KNOW this is Dave's idea and Viv is just along for the ride, haha). "First Day of Spring apple" is great, although not quite as epic as the stuffed animals he and Hillary had for Groundhog Day a few years back.
-
The Day Planner opener played at 10:30 ET. I haven't seen this happen on full controlled shows in quite awhile.
-
Today at 12:43 PM ET, they showed a P. Allen Smith gardening segment. I thought that they discontinued the segments with Smith.

Edit (8:29): Hey Jim, the club for walking the obs. deck of Mt. Washington is called the Century Club, not the Mile-high Club! I wonder where your mind is tonight... :P

They just used the original 2005 EE L-shaped teaser graphic; I haven't seen that used since they started using still keys in January.
It still doesn't look as good without animation, though.

3:30 PM CT - Summer Weather Center opener
This looks like what we saw last fall; the weekend team kept using the winter opener at the bottom of every hour up until the official transition into the winter openers in December.
-
Just now on First Outlook; they used a lower third with a lowercase bottom line. I don't believe I've ever seen that with the current lower thirds before.

Hey, look! It's Mike Seidel over by the Global Forecast Center! He's sure working early today...
For sure. He is on Day Planner with Carl Parker today. It was odd, because after carl got done doing a segment, he threw it to Mike at the desk, and Mike said something along the lines of
"Word from management, Kevin and Jennifer are suppose to be doing the show. I have a meeting with them after the show" :huh: Wonder what that was suppose to mean :P

"Word from management, Kevin and Jennifer are suppose to be doing the show. I have a meeting with them after the show" :huh: Wonder what that was suppose to mean :P
Maybe he wants to work at a different time slot?
-
There was actually more to it than just that little bit. I just so happened to be recording at the time, so here's the whole segment; Mike tried to tell us who they were filling in for, but he couldn't remember, resulting in "Hall of Fame broadcasting."

They messed up a graphic on EEWC about Earth Hour about saving eletricity by having the text in the wrong places
Having Delaware's graphic With Rhode island's text & Rhode Island's Graphic with Delaware's text i will try to get a picture of it tonight or tomorrow
-
Anyone else think this Tree Pollen map is one of the oldest maps that TWC currently uses on-air?
(http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/9818/pmesatmar292008treepollvf1.jpg)
-
Probably; I noticed they finally brought it back today. :happy:
-
Yup you know its definitley spring when TWC brings back the ol' Tree Pollen map. :lol:
-
You can definitely tell that's rarely used, because it has the old base map on it. I wish they'd show those useful pollen maps more often.
-
BTW, I must admit I was happy when Adam Berg announced that he'll be doing EEWC tonight. Cheryl does a better job when paired with someone, anyway.
-
These kids sure look like they're having some fun with the good ol' green screen:

Nice pic. Is that TS Gamma on the monitor there?

I found another pic from that same site that features the IntelliStar systems. The domestic IntelliStar is the left unit, and the Weatherscan unit is the right one. On the very top right of the image, you can see some XL units too...

It also looks like there is another IntelliStar at the very bottom of that left rack.
-
Yup your right. You can just barely see a glimpse of it between the girl in white and the one in pink.
-
You know what, I have a feeling that the in-house STARs might actually be displayed not only in that room, but also on the monitors next to the Global Forecast Center. Back when the Plasma screen used to be by the GFC, they went to that shot right after an LF, and I could've sworn I saw a 4000 running on one of the monitors. That would also explain monitors lag behind the others; perhaps the feed is delayed by a few seconds on certain STARs?

I'm trying to remember where that is, I think its in Production Engineering, which is kinda in the middle of two control rooms.
The in-house STARs are displayed in all control rooms along a lower smaller display screens, as well in Master and in all offices that have TV sets.
XL's have the biggest delay when it comes to putting out the final product due to the amount of processing that is done before the video is produced. This is why the audio has to be fed in to the unit as well, otherwise by passing the audio would show a huge delay between the video and audio.
All units in there are hooked up just like any generic STAR, they still communicate with network control and pull video from master. I can't remember if they are hooked up to the satellite, or just tap in to the feed that is exiting the station for trasmission, ither way they cannot have a delay or lag per se because the commands that network control send out are time based and by the time the units kick in there, yours have at the exact same time.
-
Why does the amount of video processing more for the XL?
-
Why does the amount of video processing more for the XL?
I think becuase of graphic rendering..

Does it have better graphical capabilities than the IS?
-
Does it have better graphical capabilities than the IS?
No.
Technically speaking, the hardware should be able to perform better... But the difference is that they were written in two different languages, one that is more graphically enabled then the other.
-
What language was the XL software written in?
-
C# on a IRIX box.

As far as I know, nobody is planning to create an XL emulator. Heck, the Jr. emulator is on hiatus until further notice.

Couldn't this go to "General LF Discussion"? Just my opinion...

I was wondering when did they remove Pacific Outlook.

I was wondering when did they remove Pacific Outlook.
I believe it was 1998, during the Weather Center relaunch.
-
Did it start in the mornings or afternoons?
-
It ran overnight, from 2-5 AM IIRC.
-
Oh, I was wondering what happened to it.
-
It seems that a Forecast Earth report on refrigerators uses the same background music as the Storm Alert/Fall 2007/Winter 2007/2008 :57 station ID music.
-
Everybody say it with me now...
OLD!
Nah, just teasing ya, Billy! :)
BTW, there's also a long form show out there (Full Force Nature, maybe?) that uses the PME going-to-break teaser music.
-
I saw Jeff and Vivian on Day Planner today. I didn't see them together in a while
-

They normally host the final hour of Day Planner and the 2 hours of Weather Center on weekdays. ;) What wasn't normal was they were at the big desk (Studio 1A), however, that WILL be the norm from now on until they relaunch in HD. :yes:
-
The chroma key that Jeff has been using so far today appears to have a light that is off or has burnt out, because there is a dark spot on the upper left hand corner of the screen whenever he is on the maps.
-
I noticed something different about that! I couldn't pinpoint what it was...I just figured that Studio 1A had a different appearance to the maps compared to Studio 1B
-
That's the Hurricane Central wall, which is the only key wall in 1A. For some reason, they never bothered to install proper lighting for that key wall, so we're stuck with it until the HD relaunch. The old key walls were in 1B, so they can't use them anymore. It looks like Vivian might be using the key wall in the A&B/WV studio judging by the tight camera angle being used. Either that, or they might have left one key wall in 1B running; Viv is using a wired SkyTracker clicker after all, and I don't think they have those in the A&B studio. If they were in the A&B studio, that would be an annoying trip for the OCMs to have to use a studio so far away from the one they're in. I wonder if they would play Rock, Paper, Scissors to determine who has to make the arduous trek back and forth between studios for the entire show.
One cool thing about the Hurricane Central wall is that the OCM there can chat with Dr. Forbes since it's so close to the Expert Desk. Jeff did just that earlier during the Weekly Planner.

Yea, mentioning April Fools day :lol:

They are using the Day Planner backdrop right now on PME, but I have a feeling that may change later on in the show.
-
They're also using the EE LIVE tag; that should also change later in the show. :P

Yes, I posted that in the Blooper thread. :P
EDIT: You're right - they just changed it to the PME live tag.

Does anyone have a map/floorplan of the current studios and where they are in relation to one another. I remember someone (I think it was Jae) posted one before, but I can't seem to track it down at the moment.

That would also explain monitors lag behind the others; perhaps the feed is delayed by a few seconds on certain STARs?
In the control room today, thinking hard about what I was doing for lunch... and I realised something... The delay you are seeing is the delay between once the camera captures the video, the video goes through the control room, through a video processor, thru master and out to engineering and split off to those monitors. (Those monitors are the final product screen, what ever is on TWC is on that screen.) Hope that helps :P

It's Jae's.
BTW, the light-up map behind the A&B desk is not lit tonight for some reason.
-
Okay, they're definitely using the key walls in 1B tonight; you can see the characteristic gray/white walls on the side on the HD feed's overscan area because the camera isn't framed right.

1b? what? i thought 1b was closed? :unsure:
-
1b? what? i thought 1b was closed? :unsure:
It is, but perhaps they left the chroma key(s) in 1B for use.
-
I think they left one running, but I could be wrong. Alexandra did the Weekly Planner from Hurricane Central tonight, but Paul is doing his segments from 1B.
I noticed Betty and Kelly were both using a good key wall tonight, so perhaps they're the same height and can both use the same wall in 1B?
-
Listen to the audio, does the suspicious / possible 1B camera sound more "echo"-ie than the other shots?
-
Wait, why would a camera have an echo sound?
-
wouldn't that be a lengthy walk from the green screens in 1b to the big desk in 1a?
not really lengthy, but still a good distance away (i would assume anyway).

This is you, being difficult... lol I mean when they are on that camera shot, in the audio do you hear an echo? (Sarcasim: Usualy when a camera is on someone, their mic is on air :P)
-
Not with certain master control operators who don't pay attention and forget to change the mics. :P
Seriously though, I didn't get to listen to the audio closely before. I'll have to listen better during EEWC.
-
They used the EE backdrop on PME from the start of the show today.
Also, they're using the camera zoom-in effect today that is used on shows that are normally broadcasted from the big desk. Yesterday, they did not use that effect.
-
Is this mini lower third for Weather Center new, or do they just not show it often? This is the first time I've seen this.
-
I first saw it used in Sept. 2007. It's used less frequently than the mini lower thirds on other shows.
-
I've seen it before. they usually show it during live field reports
-
The audio on TWC appears to be VERY quite as of 4:20 PM CT, and it's not just the OCMs, the Weekly Planner opener was quiet as well.

They've actually animated that 4-split key at least 70% of the time they've used it since all of the other keys went still in Dec/Jan. Same goes for the 4-split on EE.

I know. That scared the you-know-what out of me when I first heard that.
They're doing live segments all four hours tonight, so at least we won't have to deal with that again. :P
A few minutes ago, Paul Goodloe even got into the EEWC action when he ran a new tornado warning over to Rich. It sounded like when Paul was approaching Rich, Rich said, "Seriously?" (As if he couldn't believe another warning just got issued)
-
EEWC continues fully live at 11:10 PM CT with Jeff Morrow live via telephone to provide his perspective of the situation.

Still live coverage on EEWC for the Weekly Planner at 12:20 AM ET.

Still live coverage on EEWC for the Weekly Planner at 12:20 AM ET.
They didn't mean to do that, though. Someone accidentally sourced SkyTracker instead of WPS; now they'll probably go live at 1:20 CT or just use the 12:20 segment at 1:20.
-
Speaking of the Weekly Planner, the Weekly Planner opener at :20 was completely silent.

It looks like they've decided to quit the live broadcasts.
-
It appears that they're live once again at 2:10 AM ET, though there was no LIVE tag. Rich was showing a radar map and severe t'storm warnings.
Edit:
At 2:20 AM ET, they showed the Weekly Planner segment that played at 12:20 AM ET, complete with quiet Weekly Planner open, and mis-queued SkyTracker.

@ second part: Doesn't master realize they should've thrown that segment out after what happened? Apparently not.

As of 2:22 AM ET, the LIVE tag is still present on EEWC. Looks like Sharon will be doing all four hours by herself tonight! :o
Edit: I take that last statement back. It looks like they put the LIVE tag on by mistake. At 12:35 AM ET, Sharon said mentioned a Tornado Minute segment would be next, but instead they showed a Forecast Earth segment. The same thing happened at 2:35 AM.
-
There's some kind of weird thing with Master and the LIVE tag on the Hurricane Central key wall such that the LIVE tag used with that camera is different than the one used on the rest of the broadcast. I don't know why exactly it's set up that way, but I first noticed the inverse issue on Monday during Weather Center in which the LIVE tag would turn off when they went to the Hurricane Central wall. They had that fixed for Tuesday's show this week.

That was an interesting camera shot in the WV studio when going to this current break; we could actually see the hallway leading into the studio.

TWC continues to be shorthanded again today. They've called in Ray Stagich to work Weekend Outlook; normally he only works Saturday.
BTW, the male:female OCM ratio yesterday was 8:3. Normally it would be 5:6 on a weekend. That's a huge difference!
To add to that, Kristin Dodd is strangely Ray's partner today for the final two hours of WO.
Just a few seconds ago, Ray had to excuse himself when he said, "Today's not going to be a very nice Saturday...excuse me...Sunday. I'm usually here on Saturday so I got a little confused there."
-
I'm seeing no radar on Weatherscan right now. I wonder if this has to do with the DST change, like how TWC is showing the satellite forecasts.

Sharon brings up a good point: a lot of younger kids are on spring break right now. I wonder if that explains the many absences at TWC this week. Then again, some of the people who are off (like Steph) don't have any kids to begin with, but most do, I think.

Kristin Dodd is on Weather Center today. I haven't seen her during a weekday afternoon in awhile.

I know, yet another failure on the programming director's part. Since they already committed to airing long-form tonight, they have to stick with it no matter what unless the programming director (who obviously doesn't care to step up when it's needed) changes his/her mind.

Since when did Eboni Deon work on weekend planner? :huh:

She has worked this late before, but not often (usually she is on the early morning shows).

are you serious? her main hosting show is weekend outlook. shes been working on weekends for awhile now, unless they changed her position...

God that's such an ugly hairdo for her.
-
You people obviously must not watch TWC on weekend mornings much because Eboni winds up filling in on Weekend Now almost every single weekend due to wither Kevin or Jennifer not being available. In today's case, Jennifer filled in for Samantha on Weekend View.

Uhh, cause we have lives? :rofl2: :lol: :P
Just joking. I appreciate Steve's thoughts and insights very much. :sunglasses:
-
I didn't mean to sound rude or anything; if I did, I'm sorry.
I'm just saying that people were saying that Eboni being on Weekend Now even though she's been on there probably over half the weekends this year; that's all.
-
Interesting, Carl Parker and Kristin Dodd are hosting the first hour of PM Edition tonight.
Also, apparently, they're not using a pre-recorded teaser tonight for some reason.

That is very weird. I wonder what happened to the next shift...
As for the lack of a pre-recorded teaser; normally that would be done only by whatever crew is hosting the full controlled hour, from what I can tell.
Carl needs some time off; he's worked almost all (if not all) of last week stretching back to last Saturday; now he's working overtime today.
-

That's odd. I normally see a pre-recorded teaser used on the master controlled hour of PME Weekend. :unsure:
-
What I meant is that normally the same team anchors both hours of PM Edition, so one recorded teaser can be used for both hours of PME; since that's not the case tonight, they decided not to waste their time making two recorded teasers for each set of anchors.
-
I didn't mean to sound rude or anything; if I did, I'm sorry.

But most of us don't have the time to watch TWC.
-
Now Adam Berg and Kristina Abernathy are here for the rest of PM Edition and Evening Edition.
I wonder why they weren't available for the 5 PM CDT hour?
-

No, not at all. People just need to know what they are talking about ;).
On topic now with the whole Kristin and Carl deal. I watched a half hour of them, and I really enjoyed it. They seemed to click well together.
-
Today on Weekend Outlook, they actually played the acoustic theme that they used to use on the full controlled edition. It all has voices talking over it, though. I can post some clips after I wake up today. :whistling:
-
Cool; I would love to hear some clips of that theme.
:happy:
-
Again Carl and Kristin are doing the first hour of PME today. I guess it's because Cheryl is off, and one member of the PME/EE crew has to fill in for her. They never used to do this, but maybe it's new policy.
-
Hmm, they're still using the Day Planner backdrop at 7 PM CT. I bet somebody forgot to change the backdrop. :whistling: (or nobody is available to change it)
-
Around 8:33 PM CT, they used one of those custom openers with an animated image in the "square".
The graphic was *slightly* different from the normal graphic, though. The squares that fly out of the center were more transparent, and the text looks bigger.
-
Interesting. Those custom openers seem to have replaced the regionals as well; this morning on Day Planner (yes I watched it; I'm on spring break, wooo!) they used the custom openers as regionals, using all of the normal intros (S, NE, MW, W).
Each show has it's own custom opener, AFAIK. DP, WC, and WV have similar ones, IIRC. I have never seen FO's. :whistling:
-
Are these the openers you guys are referring to? I really don't like these openers that much. I liked it when they showed the segment openers that had the same graphics as the show's main opener.
-
The segment openers on all shows except FO and sometimes YWT have been disabled since they stopped using animated keys. Even on FO, however, the openers don't animate back into the studio.
As for the custom openers: DP, WC, and all weekend morning shows use the light blue openers. WC, however, will sometimes use the PME edition openers.
I've seen FO's opener before; I'm pretty sure it's a sort of orange version of the YWT one.
-
I've seen First Outlook's and it looked identical to YWT's. :unsure:
The segment openers on all shows except FO and sometimes YWT have been disabled since they stopped using animated keys. Even on FO, however, the openers don't animate back into the studio.
Master controlled Weather Center still shows some of its original segment openers. I also sometimes see Evening Edition's Weekly Planner opener.
-
I shouldn't have said "segment openers". I meant "regional openers." All shows still use their segment openers. (aside from Storm Watch on all shows and the TWC Travel Forecast on EE)
-
This is interesting - Alexandra Steele did tonight's national Weather.com forecast. Never seen her do that before.
Also note in the clip attached that they still use the 03-05 Afternoon Outlook-like National Forecast transition graphic.
-
So far, I've seen Kim Perez, Nick Walker, Heather Tesch, Dave, Adam, Cheryl, Eboni, Alexandra, Abrams & Bettes, Alex Wallace, Paul and countless others do the Weather.com forecasts over the past month or so. I think that the weather.com forecasts are now done by any OCM who is in-house when they are needed, unlike last year when they were actually done by a sole OCM whose perm job was to do the forecast (i.e. Alex Wallace, Sarah Libby). :wacko: :whistling:
-
They just announced that tonight was Dwight Milliner's last night as master control operator on EEWC; he's moving to a different shift, they said.
-
Dave's on Day Planner right now...I have a feeling it's gonna be a long day for him, my friend.
(That would make a great drinking game. One drink every time Dave says "my friend".)

@ Billy: I thought of that, as well. Perhaps different amounts depending on the closeness to the exact phrase. You're guaranteed to pass out by the end of the night.
@ Matt: I'm pretty sure people actually did have a drinking game during the Dave & Hillary era of EEWC. "My friend" merited a drink, and any time that Hillary said something stupid or screwed up in some way also merited a drink. There might have been other events that prompted a drink, but I don't remember it very well.

Jennifer Lopez and Kevin Robinson are color-coordinated today. At the beginning of Weekend Now, Jennifer made a comment saying she liked the color of Kevin's tie and said "great minds think alike." Wonder if they planned this like Heather and Marshall do each morning for YWT?

thats the first thing I noticed when the camera hit them at the beginning of the hour. i think it would be pretty awesome if they did that from now on. though i guess it wouldn't matter because Jennifer will be outta there in a few months.
-
Kim Perez and Nick Walker have also done this almost every morning that I've watched or recorded for the past several weeks. I think more and more teams are starting to copy the Heather/Marshall trend.
-
Interesting, Carl and Kristin did the first hour of PME again today. I wonder if this is permanent.
They also accidentally ended the show with EE music, and Carl and Kristin each accidentally walked in front of the key wall when they weren't supposed to during that segment, as well.

They also used the EE backdrop from the start of the show - something they haven't done for the past few weekends or so.
-
They're doing WWC with the EE backdrop up. That's odd.

I noticed that. Also, today is apparently the day they're switching to the summer openers. I just saw the WC summer opener at the top of both hours.
-
They used the winter opener at the bottoms of the hours; it was the exact opposite yesterday as well as on Easter Sunday.
I also noticed that they're using the old Climate Code music for some of the Earth Day coverage on the air.
-
They played "Change of Seasons" by Mark Krurnowski when going to break at 11:36 PM CT. I love that song!

That's my favorite Mark Krurnowski song. At first I didn't like his music, but his style grew on me :)
BTW, I wonder why they don't play production music for the break segments?
-
They usually do, but sometimes the BMI library is used instead.

WWCH openers are back, unsurprisingly.

I wonder how long the WWCH ads will stay around before we start seeing ads for the HD launch?
-
Judging from how early TWC has been airing openers for events in the past, it may very well be within the next week or two.
-
I thought I'd miss Dwight doing EEWC, but whoever is working Master now is actually making use of the music that Stephen Arnold Music made for the show and even using the more rare cuts of music. For the first hour teaser, they used the highly rare "stinger" track that is rarely used on the full controlled show when coming back from break. I love that music.
The new Master operator has used nothing but EE music for the past two nights, and plenty of it, too!
-
Wow, I better watch EEWC more often! What do you mean by the "stinger" track?
-
Ah, yes. I was going to come and mention that I actually heard the EE music..on EE... which is unheard of :P (well, every time I watch.. they always have some sort of different music). I think they should just stick to one music, that way when the viewer turns on the TV and hears that particular music, they know EXACTLY what show they are watching :yes:
-
A stinger is basically a short 5 second (or short in general) burst of the main chord / rhythm.
-
Oh okay, so I guess Steve was referring to the music they used in the short lived EE regional openers?
I agree that they should stick to the show's music, rather than production music. If I were to watch a show for an hour, I hear the show's actual music maybe three times at best. If you go back two years ago, you'd hear it all the time. Same with those crappy on the fly openers that were introduced in 2007, which are the same for each show with the exception of the background color. Also, whatever happened to the Storm Watch opener? I haven't seen those since before the 2007 hurricane season.
-
Yay, P Allen Smith segment! :happy:
-
What's so great about P. Allen Never-Touched-Dirt Smith? :rolleyes:
-
I actually like his segments, as well as the Danny Lipford segments and health segments. They're much better than the commando weather and "tornado minute" segments. Do they still show the Today's Homeowner home improvement segments with Danny Lipford during the week? I haven't seen that in at least a year.

Did anybody notice that Dave Schwartz wore three different ties today? He wore a yellow one for the first 15 minutes, then a red, black, and white striped tie for the rest of Weather Center (1 hour, 20 minutes), followed by a black and white striped tie for PM Edition (1 hour).
-
I haven't seen this in eons! You can tell they don't use this often because it has the old 99-06 basemap on it.
-
Maybe you're just not watching when they show it... as it's still shown quite regularly, most notably by Dave, Vivian, Bill (on WV), Betty Davis, and Greg Forbes.
Also to note, this product is now sometimes shown on Skytacker (in a different mode), rather than this static map product.

Apparently Paul Goodloe changed ties a few times tonight also. I wasn't really paying attention, but Jim Cantore mentioned that Paul had changed ties a few times tonight.

Hmmm... What's with that? A little mid-show snack gone awry?

What is VIL?

Since it's still WC, I just noticed Kelly Cass and Betty Davis are hosting this show. Why?

What is VIL?
Vertically Integrated Liquid. It's a mode on NEXRAD radars that is commonly used to see falling hail.

-
Since it's still WC, I just noticed Kelly Cass and Betty Davis are hosting this show. Why?
They do that when Storm Stories is preempted so that both teams work three hours.
-
Freelance Ryan Goswick is on Weather Center today along with Dave. That's the first time I've seen Ryan on in awhile.
-
What an odd pairing... :wacko: :unsure:
-
They actually worked together a few weekends ago, as well. We may wind up seeing this pairing more and more.
-
And now Carl Parker is working EEWC. We haven't seen that in a while.
Speaking of EEWC, has Cheryl Lemke been moved to Weekend Outlook? I saw her on this morning, though I haven't seen WO the past few weekends, and the past few weekends, one OCM that hosted PME/EE was doing EEWC.
-
Eboni Deon has been doing a lot of fill-in work on Weekend Now as of late, so this might just be a temporary setup. I'm curious how this will all work out.
-
Now Cheryl's on First Outlook this morning as the travel analyst.
-
They're still using the winter Weather Center opener. Shouldn't they have switched to the summer opener by now?
-

One would certainly think so. :unsure:

I think I remember hearing the full controlled Weather Center (which only airs weekends) recently started showing the summer opener. They haven't on the mastered WC, for some reason.
IMO, the winter WC opener is nicer than the summer version. Same with YWT.
-
Nicer, maybe. Fitting? No. TWC should definitley be using their summer openers.
-
They waited until Memorial Day weekend last year. :blink:
BTW, they're still using the winter opener on WWC; the summer opener usage only happens every now and then.
-
Now Cheryl's on First Outlook this morning as the travel analyst.
That must be odd for her. First Outlook used to be her show.
-
I can't believe I'd ever say this, but I miss hearing "The following is a co-production of and is jointly funded by The Weather Channel and The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration." on TWC.
-

Looks like The Weather Channel was in my area, and i missed it..shoot.
-
The new Master operator has used nothing but EE music for the past two nights, and plenty of it, too!
Are they still doing this? When I saw EEWC last Friday night for an hour or so, no EE music was played at all (or any music for that matter).
-
Some nights, I think. I haven't watched as much this week since I've been going to bed a little earlier.
-
EEWC is doing live severe weather coverage; will someone please tell me WHY they didn't preempt WWCH tonight with all of the severe weather going on? They just don't care anymore. Pretty shameful.
-
I understand there was tornadoes reported in Virginia tonight. I would certainly think that is worthy of preemption, but I guess not. <_<
-

It's possible they used the Istar's dual feed to preempt WWCH.
-
Dave is on solo for the afternoon, my friends. Glad I have the afternoon off so I could see him. B)
-
Solo eh? I like him better when he has a partner. When he's solo he's a little duller in my opinion because he has no one to banter with.
-
Wow, Dave actually called the segment at 1:50 PM ET "Storm Watch." I haven't called it called "Storm Watch" in quite a while. In fact the exact quote was "Welcome back, we're on Storm Watch, my friend." :sunglasses:
-
What happened to those Storm Watch openers anyway? They haven't shown then since before the 2007 hurricane season began.
-
After a commercial, they showed a sponsored destination forecast graphic with the old 2003-2005 banner!
-
Yeah, I miss StormWatch. :(
-
At 3:30 PM ET, Dave called the show "Day Planner" instead of "Weather Center."
-
Dave said Betty Davis will anchor starting at 4PM. Storm Stories wasn't preempted, so why are they showing the PME hosts starting at 4?
-

Because it's a solo schedule. ;) It won't always be a PME OCM, though.

Dave is better with a co-anchor. Him and Viv work really well together. I watched a whole hour of them without changing the channel yesterday. :D
I liked the 1999-2001 Storm Watch opener. It always reminded me of my fear of weather way back when.

-
Dave was actually on the ball today, more than he was Wednesday and Thursday with Vivian. I only got to see the 2 PM CT hour of Weather Center, but the whole thing was very entertaining yet informative at the same time - Dave at his best. He's worked well with Vivian in the past, but he seemed a little dull with her this week. I wonder if he was feeling all right.
As for Dave saying "Day Planner," he was reading off the prompter. When Betty went to read it the next hour, She tripped over that part of the script when it came up on the prompter but corrected the show title herself. That's surprising coming from the person who once called herself Adam Berg because the prompter said so. :P

I happened to catch PM Edition before I took a nap this afternoon, and from what I saw, it looks like full control has fixed the issue with the lower thirds being displayed too far down on the screen after all this time.

BTW, I'm a little bit bummed out that my recording of Dave today got corrupted by my DVD recorder. I'm trying to use whatever recovery software I can, but I'm not making too much progress. (using ISOBuster right now)
-
They actually dismissed Ray Stagich after the first half hour of WO today. For as long as I can remember dating back to last fall, Ray has always worked the entire show on Saturday. They must have plenty of OCMs available today. (Alex Wallace and Eboni Deon are doing the main two hours of WO today.)

I sent it using the Assistance Request Form at

From experience, it seems to go to Chris Hoitsma.
-

It was? :huh: Sure seemed like master to me. They used transitions that are only used on master controlled shows, and the lower thirds were taller than they are on full controlled shows. Also, the one-line lower thirds for the :00 and :30 past headlines did not do a "erase and retype" effect - instead, a lower third was regenerated for each headline.
To me, it definitely seemed like it was master controlled, but then again, full control could be pulling our legs again like on March 28, 2006 (http://www.twcclassics.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2683&hl=). :P
-
The usage of music and the way that everything was done in relation to the teasers seemed full controlled to me. I think the Weekend Weather Center crew likes using those types of transitional effects. As for the lower thirds, I'm pretty sure full control fixed that this week, as I posted earlier in this thread.

Right now, and more so as time goes on, Master and all of the control rooms will have the exact same abilities.

They're now doing a semi-live edition of EEWC with Carl Parker, which makes for an extra long night for him since he'll also be doing live segments during the 2AM ET hour.

-
In a matter of one minute on today's Forecast Earth, they managed to use both the music for the PME recorded teaser when going to break and the music for the Ski Conditions segment where the Star overlays local conditions.
Also, recent episodes of Forecast Earth have been making use of those massive screens hanging from the ceiling of the control room that I mentioned earlier. In these segments, Dr. Forbes stands next to the massive screens while the screens show relevant video. I may be mistaken, but I think I might have seen some camera inputs from the HD studio on a few monitors in the control room.

Nope, I'm watching Weekend View this morning and the lower thirds are still lower than they are on master control. :yes:

Now we have Carl Parker working the extra 4 PM CT hour of Weather Center solo. I wonder why Warren and Kristin couldn't work this hour? They only worked two hours (2 and 3 PM CT), and normally on days that WWC is extended to 4 PM CT they would be able to host that extra hour. :wacko:
-
Since the preemption was finally authorized for today, they've jumped into a strange solo-OCM schedule that seems to be on a three-hour rotation, much like the pre-Sept. 2006 schedule. Kristin Dodd, after working the 2 PM CT hour of WWC solo, is back on solo for the 5 PM CT hour of PME.
Are you sure Kristin and Warren were paired today? Every hour has seemed to be solo-OCM to me. I think Warren was solo for the 3 PM CT hour of WWC. Does anyone know who did the 1 PM CT hour?

Does anyone know who did the 1 PM CT hour?
That's what she said!

Does anyone know who did the 1 PM CT hour?
That's what she said!
Kyle Smith, Hilary Andrew's attorney is on line 1 for you....

Well, now that the severe weather has died down, it's time to get to the peaceful "you guys" show that has become typical of Sunday nights as of late. I wonder if Cheryl is ever coming back to EEWC.
-
Alex Wallace and Mike Seidel on the 1 PM ET hour of Day Planner today.
-
They did the all of WC, and Carl and Betty are doing PME. Lots of vacations going on today, it seems.
-
Betty Davis and Samantha Mohr are on PM Edition tonight. That's odd. :huh:
-
Samantha Mohr is in for Kelly Cass on PM Edition tonight. I believe this is the first time Sam has been on PM Edition.
-
Weird, I just saw Samantha Mohr right now... :huh:
-
Starting today, I'm keeping a TWC notebook.
-
Did anyone notice the 2006-esque production values on PME tonight? They played the PME music when going to almost every break, and they often came back from break by playing the PME stinger, as well. To add to that, they also respected the PME opener and allowed the music to slowly fade out like they did in 2006 instead of interrupting it with production music. There was even a 43-second music segment that played at the end of Samantha Mohr's map segment that reminded me of 2006 when they used to blast the PME music over the map segments before going to break. Awesome.
-
Here's a video of that (actually about 30 seconds of music)

Thanks for the vid. I love Sam's outfit...very hot!

From paying attention to both the live and recorded airings of EEWC tonight, it actually looks like the lower thirds on the recorded version are a scosh lower such that the letters almost touch the LDL. I guess that has something to do with the video playback shifting the video just a little bit farther down than the original broadcast.

Quite possibly, however the IMX decks have a 1 line shift rate, so its not much.
-
Did anyone see the beginning of A&B tonight? Both Mike and Steph were standing in front of the key wall with an infrared satellite image behind them. That wasn't the exciting part, but what was, was a new HD-looking titlebar to the satellite image.
Edit, looks Steve beat me to posting (https://twctodayforums.com/forums/index.php/topic,922.0.html) it. :P
-
I felt it was important enough for its own topic. :P
-
When did weather.com change most of their basemaps to reflect the ones used on TWC? I know it was some time after the basemaps on TWC changed (which I think was April or May 2006).
-
Jeff Morrow needs to change his shirt. It's a bit too green for that key wall.
-
EE live bug being used during PME right now.
-
Adam Berg just mentioned at the end of EE that Kristin will be hosting EEWC tonight. That's really odd. :wacko:

TWC's logo is blue.

Wha...what? When did this happen? And more importantly why did no one tell me until now?

Not really. She ought to be the Saturday night anchor for now on while Adam will do EEWC every Sunday night. That's a win in my book.

Is it just me, or does the studio seem extra dark for some reason tonight for EE?
-
They just used a wide shot of the Studio 1A desk at 8:55 CT, and it looks like they still actually have ornamental lighting on the floor in front of the desk. This is the first time in months they've ever panned the camera out far enough to see it, though.
@ Billy
I noticed the same thing last night, as well. It was bright again for the daytime shows, but they seemed to turn the lights down again for EE. Most notably, the pillars are a much darker blue right now; doesn't look very good in HD, IMO. The set looked beautiful this morning.
-
It also looks like they're on a two-camera setup now as opposed to three. The one on the far right has been removed. I wonder if it was an HD camera, and it needed to be moved to the HD studio.
The camera doing the two-person shot today seems to be a bit blurry.
-
Is Adam Berg operating SkyTracker tonight? On two separate occasions, I've heard Paul Goodloe say things like "Thanks Adam" when a new warning would appear or for moving SkyTracker to a different mode or location.
-
Must be a different Adam. The Berg-man is off on Monday and Tuesday.
-
This is different. That's the first time I've ever seen the WCBS forecast used during EEWC. Normally it's only used during regular EE and A&B.
-
They've also shown their forecasts on First Outlook too, didn't they?
-
Looks like they've rolled out all the openers/intros/promos for Memorial Day already.
-
Solo OCM schedules again this Friday afternoon. Kristin Dodd hosted the 1 PM ET hour, Vivian Brown hosted the 3 PM ET hour, and now Nick Walker (with a bad mic) is hosting the 4 PM ET hour.
-
And now Betty Davis is solo on the 5 PM ET hour. Also, I forgot to mention that Sam Mohr was alongside Bill Keneely on Day Planner today.
-
Why did they use four different OCMs on a solo schedule?
-
Looks like they've rolled out all the openers/intros/promos for Memorial Day already.
Weird, last time I set up a dish to record TWC, the lot8 openers were the memorial day ones. A year later, I'm setting up a dish and they are back. :P
-

The opener is the same one that they used in last year. I wish there's a new MD opener next year. I don't like the 07-08 opener. :sick:
-
Is TWC doing anything on air tonight regarding the tornado outbreaks in Kansas? This is two night nights in a row (That I've been paying attention).
-
They're not preempting; that's for sure. It's getting quite annoying, especially considering it's a weekday, and the preemption call should be given without question.
-
This is insane, The Weather Channel, should be covering; the weather.
I've been watching KSN all night, tornado, after tornado, after tornado, it's insane!
-
Jim just said something about being back at the top of the hour with special coverage.
-
Jim just said something about being back at the top of the hour with special coverage.
Yep, lets hope that it will be a full-blown preemption and not just weather updates/dual feed coverage.
-
Well, maybe I jinxed it. Epic Conditions is now on at 11 PM ET. :furious: :angry: <_<
-
Fully live EEWC now. Why couldn't they preempt, though?
-
They were trying to do this hour without live updates to avoid staying even later, it seems, but they wound up breaking in with a radar update at 12:20 CT to update on yet another powerful tornado on the ground.
If things calm down as they sometimes do late at night, why don't they just make sure at least record one good (non-time sensitive) version of every segment between the two hours and play that one set of good segments twice during the rebroadcast time period? That way the broadcast will rebroadcast smoothly, and Rich and Sharon can get home on time.
Of course, if severe weather is still relevant during the rebroadcast timeslot, they should still go live.
-
Wow, it looks like they're actually following my plan. Coincidence? :ninja:
-
Carl Parker is on Weekend Now this morning, and he's not wearing a tie. I can't remember the last time I've ever seen him tieless.
-
Probably last January during his stints on Abrams & Bettes. Still, not wearing a tie on Weekend Now? Will this be something new?
Oh, and someone needs to tell Carl that even if Danica wins the Indy 500, she still won't be anywhere near the level of Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan. Those two actually have/had brilliant careers. He's embarrassing himself. :blushing:
-
I was going through some tapes from yesterday morning on TWC, they were live at 4am with some guy I've never seen, normal?
-
Name? 'cuz it's completely possible it's normal.
-
Name? 'cuz it's completely possible it's normal.
I've *never* seen him before, and they didn't key him a single time. It was for the tornado coverage.
-
It was probably Ray Stagich. If so, then that was normal. :yes:
-
Wow, they actually preempted WWCH tonight at 9 PM ET?
-

Nope, they just gave an update at the top of the hour. :no:
-
They're doing another Weather Update at the 11 PM ET hour.
-

It was actually Alex Wallace this morning. Yeah, he's relatively new and appears in that timeslot on a regular basis along with Cheryl Lemke, Eboni Deon, Ray Stagich (Saturday), or Mark Mancuso (Sunday).
Wallace also works weather.com on most weekdays and fills in during the late morning and early afternoon on all days.
-
And now Adam Berg is doing a fully live EEWC tonight, you guys. He's got a late night ahead of him, but at least the viewers will benefit from having live updates during the overnight. The tornado outbreak is actually getting worse as the night goes on; three new tornado warnings issued this hour.
-
I wonder what it's like to be Adam Berg right now. It's 1:39 in the morning at TWC right now; normally he'd be at home enjoying the start of his "weekend", but instead he's cooped up at The Weather Channel standing by to do yet another live show at 2 A.M. Hopefully he's keeping himself busy over there with the rest of the graveyard shift, as tiring of a day it must be.
Remember when EEWC Weekend actually had its own OCMs? That would really come in handy on days like today.
-
He did a great job. I watched the 11PM-12AM hour of EEWC, and the 12 AM update, and he did the best he could possibly do on updating the severe weather.
-
Today is yet another solo OCM day for the final hour of Day Planner, Weather Center, and PM Edition. Vivian Brown did the final hour of Day Planner and the first parts of Weather Center, but then Betty Davis stepped in at 2:20 and said that Vivian will be back tomorrow, and that Vivian had a barbeque to get to.
I'm assuming Betty was supposed to only do the 3 PM CT hour of Weather Center, but she had to step in early for Vivian.
-

Looks like I was correct, as Betty is now also doing the 3 PM CT hour of Weather Center.
-
Hmmm.. no "RIGHT NOW WEATHER" banner and frame tonight. I wonder if it's gone for good or if the person who normally uses it is off for Memorial Day.
-
On an interesting note, master controlled First Outlook used the same format as EEWC tonight; they used a teaser before the opener (for the first time) and used the same L3 text (using the FO L3s, though) and probably the same script for the teaser.
-
PM Edition tonight so far has been really poorly controlled. At the top of the show, they started off with a black screen (normal, all segments start off with a blank screen and then fade in to the show after the Local on the 8s) and then the teaser abruptly cuts in right in the middle of the teaser. They are also not using any sort of music at all (besides the teasers and openers), and they have not used lower thirds at all, from what I watched. The only exception to this was when they started off the :30 segment with a frozen video shot with a (also frozen) Day Planner lower third. And to top it off, they're using the standard blue live tag.
I wonder what's up with the control room this afternoon... :huh:
-
Now it looks like the light behind the big backdrop has burnt out or has been turned off - the Day Planner backdrop right now is literally pitch black!
-

Haven't the lights burned out before? Maybe there's a power issue.
-
I think they turn the lights off when they're going to change backdrops. The EE one ought to be up soon if it's not already up.

Looks like the normal person was off for Memorial Day. The banner is back tonight.
-
Did anyone see the start of PM Edition tonight? Carl Parker did the whole first segment without a tie (been seeing a lot of that out of him this week), and Betty Davis's microphone wire was completely sticking out of her top. There seemed to be a bit of disorganization before the show.:P
-
Mike Bettes is doing the weather.com forecasts tonight. Does he normally do them?
-
For the last month or two, they've had both the A&B and EE shifts on weekdays do the top story videos on weather.com while their shifts are in progress. Kristina Abernathy is still doing all of the rest of the videos for the night.
-
At 9:30 EDT, "Right Now Weather". There's a tornado watch out in NM and a pretty good cell with hail.
What do they lead with? OMG TROPICAL DISTURBANCE SOUTH OF MEXICO POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT STAY TUNED!!!!!
I'm surprised they're not in Storm Alert yet. :lol:
-
Why does the LIVE tag never show during the national outlook map that is shown at :55 during EE?
-
Well, they're not supposed to use it when a forecast map is shown away from the wall, from what I can tell.
-
Now we have Nick Walker along with Betty Davis hosting the last hour of Weather Center and PM Edition today. Kind of funny and weird how Nick has managed to go exactly 12 hours from his old shift. :P
-
It's odd to see Nick on this late in the day. I imagine its probably wrecked havoc on his body too. He would probably be sleeping right about now. He's got to adjust to a whole new sleep pattern now. Or so I would think, anyway.

Yeah, that's true. Same thing for Jeff as well, and Rich when he first moved to the overnight shift 2 years ago.
-
Is Nick's new shift now PM Edition alongside Betty? Dave and Viv have been together all week with no sign of Samantha.
-
Sam just probably has the week off, or at least I would think that's the case. Nick and Sam ought to return to their normal spots next week; it was actually Carl and Betty on PME Tuesday and Wednesday and just Carl on Monday.
-
Figures, the last EE in SD and Cantore takes the day off. >_>
-
Good job control room...when Alex was at the wall for the weekly planner, they used the city rotating lower-thirds and the HD countdown non-stop while she was there.
-

I heard somewhere taht he was indeed moved to this new timeslot on a permanent basis.

Really? They'd change the lineup mid-week like that? It just seemed like it was done because Dave couldn't fill-in for that shift for whatever reason.

I'm pretty sure that was for Weather Center (which is where he initially moved to), not PM Edition.

TWC's clocks must be a minute or two fast. The Weekly Planner started at 11:19 AM.

I just wonder if anyone else here has noticed that the commercial for the Local on the 8s where there is a woman (Jill) who is deciding what to wear that day and the Local on the 8s starts talking to her and tells her what the weather is and that what she has chosen looks good. Anyway if you look at the TV it has the IntelliSTAR v.1 with the old TWC logo.

I just recorded and posted the ad that I was talking about on youtube. After watching it again the LOT8s on the TV is acutally the XL v.2. so it must have been filmed a long time ago!

-
Wow that's cool! i wish we could have an ad like that.
-
Yeah, that's local. Is that Allen Jackson or an impersonator?
-
They're using the 2006-2007 morning Tropical Update opener this morning on Weekend Outlook; I wonder if we'll see the new graphics later today or if we'll have to wait until tomorrow.
-
They has been using the current lower thirds for a year now.
-
Yeah, that's local. Is that Allen Jackson or an impersonator?
Its an impersonator :)
-
I don't know if anyone's noticed, but they've been using the new Tropical Update opener since WWC. There's not really much music to it...
-
...and did anyone notice that the studio seems a little brighter here on its final full day of operation? The pillars definitely seem to be a richer blue and orange, and even the backdrop looks brighter and more vivid.
-

They just played extra Tropical Update music in the studio after the opener. It's awfully calm compared to years past.
-
Today's FO is using the two-person shot for Cheryl alone at the desk sitting in the center. It's actually pretty cool.
They also just played an old "Weather 101" segment explaining derechos featuring Carl Parker as narrator and Dr. Forbes standing on that old mini-set that used to be used for The Weather Classroom as well as a few EE segments during the 03-05 era.

It actually happened during one of the only shows I didn't record over the past three days. :(

Donno if this should be here or not, but they are calling for "Titan X" (x is a number) for radars now...I know at least on Monday they called for "Sky X"...maybe Titan has phased everything out?

Steve has an interesting theory (https://twctodayforums.com/forums/index.php/topic,1006.msg45152.html#msg45152) about this, and the more I think about, the more I can believe it. It would seem that they're piping SkyTracker through Titan. I've heard both references to SkyTracker and Titan today from Dave and Vivian, respectively. It makes sense because SkyTracker is still obviously being used some fashion; the radar's behavior is a giveaway, as are the remnants of Interstate font on some cities.
-
The "Check in with Your Weather Today" returned today at the end of First Outlook, but they never did show Heather full-screen; they only showed her in the two-split.
I wonder if we'll also see the other two "check-ins" return today: PM Edition to Abrams & Bettes as well as Abrams & Bettes to Evening Edition.

It's Betty Davis and Adam Berg on PM Edition today!

It looks like Kevin Robinson might be anchoring Weekend View today; he just walked behind the desk a few minutes ago; plus, Bill Keneely was off Thursday and Friday. If this holds true, we might see Carl Parker on Weekend Now, probably with Kim Perez. If that's the case, WC will probably be Kristina paired with either Dave, Warren, Ryan Goswick, or maybe even Mike Seidel (longshot).

Now Kevin was just standing in the spotlight shining on the pillar to the right of the big backdrop; I can't recall seeing anyone stand right in the spotlight before.

It's Kim and Dave on Weekend Now; I don't watch enough to know if they've worked together ever but the 20 minutes I've watched have been great.
Kim: We can sum up this weekend with 3 letters: H-O-T, and I'm not talking about Dave.
Dave: Final forecast, I like that, it's like the very last forecast ever.
Kim: Well I'm hoping I have a few years left.

Interesting, Carl and Kristina are hosting the 7 PM CT hour of PME as well. I guess Adam and Kristin are sticking to EE HD?

Second thought: With all of the severe weather, we might see EE run for two or three hours starting at the top of the hour; I'm going to get ready to record just in case.

Unless everyone is getting Carl and Kristina at 9EDT (which would be extremely odd, as they are still live at 9), it looks like the IS Dual-Feed is still working.

Everyone's getting that; they'll probably stick around for ten minutes and then go to WWCH if they follow what they did Memorial Day weekend. It's been a long night for Carl and Kristina but an unbelievably short night for Adam and Kristin.

I wish I had another DVD recorder; I'm trying to balance recording EE in HD while also recording the NASCAR race, which is currently being recorded on my recorder that's hooked up to my HD receiver. My other recorder is hooked up to an SD receiver. :(

I wonder why the LDL was normal too.

No update?

Back on topic, does anyone else think tonight's EE was better than the weekday edition? I do.
-
Interesting. EEWC is being hosted by BOTH Kristin and Adam tonight.
-
Woah cool, EEWC Weekend is once again a two OCM show!
-
They should put Adam and Kristin back on PME Weekend, as well. Sharon and Mike Bettes/Rick/Carl used to do four hours a night back in the day. Surely Adam and Kristin would be able to do three hours while Carl and Kristina also do three hours?
-
Since when has Weekend Now split up the Weekly Planner into two segments? Today at both 12:20 and 1:20 PM ET, they did the precipitation segments of the Weekly Planner at :20 then showed a Weather Ready segment, a commercial break, and then came back at :24 to present the temperature portion of the Weekly Planner.
What sense does that make? :wacko:

They've done that for quite some time now; there's barely any time for either segment because of the silly Lifestyles segments at :21 during Weekend Now.

Crap, I forgot to record EE in HD tonight; I only have it in SD. :(

This must be "learn about Kristin Dodd's family" night. Now we know that her mom is dealing with flooding, and her sister is coming to visit me (figuratively) in Chicago.

This must be "learn about Kristin Dodd's family" night. Now we know that her mom is dealing with flooding, and her sister is coming to visit me (figuratively) in Chicago.
Now we know Kristin's daughter just went to Florida.
Dang, sneaky editing there, Steve. :ninja: :P

Odd. Adam mentioned a southern movement to a tornado-producing storm in southeastern Wisconsin, which would mean that the storm is headed toward me, but my local Fox affiliate is saying that all of the area's storms are tracking northeast, which would put me out of the path. I wonder why the conflict? (although I do see a possible southern movement that Adam might also be seeing; I wonder how it's all going to pan out)
-
It's a shame that NWS LOT radar broke down during this critical period, but I'm seeing movement to the northeast on some cells and to the southeast on others with some cells even combining; it certainly doesn't look easy to tell exactly what's going on; it seems like a pretty complex situation.
-
It looks like the storms actually are tracking south, so TWC seems to have forecasted this one right. I wish they'd stick around for another hour... :furious:
Oh well, at least we'll have local news all hour. (ABC affiliates will have a later newscast due to the NBA Finals coverage)
-
They used the "Tornado Alley" music when going to a break on WC today. Yay for Stephen Arnold!
-
That was stupid: On EEWC, they used Titan to display flood watches, but it also wound up displaying severe thunderstorm warnings as well; the rebroadcast is going to be giving a lot of people expired information now.
-
When, approximately, did they stop showing the low temperature maps during the Weekly Planner?

It appears they're using new, smaller L3s that are shifted to the left today.
EE has been using the daytime version all night...
-
Also, the rebroadcast of EEWC is no longer in HD for SD viewers.

Ah, I see. Well them that would be quite unusual. :o
-
Carl actually wasn't in for Jim; I just looked at my recording, and Carl was actually behind the scenes tonight following the deadly tornado that killed four in an Iowa Boy Scout camp, so they brought Carl on the air for a few segments to talk about what he saw.
-

"Ok, I think I'll answer that myself" - Dave Schwartz to Tetiana Anderson
Yes, it was in HD.

Has the Lifestyles segment been discontinued? I haven't seen a Lifestyles opener in a few months, but instead the Travel opener at :10/:40.
-
Lifestyles is more so the pre-recorded junk that airs at :12 and :42, they just used to package random weather stuff during the preceding studio segment.
-
They actually preempted the Weekly Planner on A&B tonight to talk about severe weather at 8:20 PM ET. They moved the Weekly Planner to 8:50 PM ET when the Tropical Update should've aired, and never aired the Tropical Update.
-
Did TWC have the "big desk" back before the 2001 studio renovation? I've been looking at clips from 1997-2001 and all I am seeing is what is now known as the GFC desk, or Studio 1B.

The big desk was introduced when Your Weather Today premiered in 2000, IIRC.
-
Once again, EEWC is having problems with the opener. At 10:00 PM CT, the first part of the music played over the teaser, and then the rest played over a title card.
-
Is it me or is the area of the projector wall where Sharon is standing dark?

I'm liking the team of Nick and Dave this afternoon. At 1:40 ET, Dave welcomed us to the "Schwartz and Walker Show," and mentioned that the producers' last names were also Schwartz and Walker.

It's letterboxed for SD viewers.

Now Kristin Dodd and "You guys" have taken over for PM Edition at 5 PM CT. That's weird...

And now Carl and Kristina are back at 7 PM CT.
-
My LDL is once again not appearing on the national feed tonight. <_< I've posted a topic in the TWC STAR Team forum at TWCC, as this seems to be a repeating issue.
-
There appears to be a light off behind the big backdrop tonight (that was also the case today on WWC).
-
Carl Parker and Samantha Mohr are on PM Edition tonight. This is the first time AFAIK, that PM Edition was a 2-OCM show when Weather Center was hosted by just 1 OCM (Nick Walker hosted the 2 PM CT hour of WC and the last hour of Day Planner, and Carl Parker hosted the 3 PM CT hour of WC solo).
-
And right now on the Travel segment they're doing a weather update via Phone with Ricky Bell, like First Outlook/Your Weather Today as of late.
-
Count on Carl Parker to start the Weekly Planner with the Jet Stream Forecast! :happy:

Yeah, it surely does, but with a different city

Today I noticed that Forecast Earth is using special green pillar boxes for its 4:3 segments. Funny part is: The pillar boxes aren't even 16:9 safe!
-
And full control PM Edition Weekend tonight used a pre-recorded teaser - they haven't done that on weekends in weeks.
-
For a change, the first segment of Evening Edition actually ran about a minute short instead of a few minutes long. It ended a few seconds after the clock flipped to 9:06 PM ET.
-
Has anyone seen regional openers for the new graphics packages other than First Outlook and Evening Edition? Those are the only ones I've seen so far.

PM Edition has regional openers, but they haven't been used recently from what I've seen.
-
YWT also has them, but again, they don't use them every day.
-
A&B apparently has regional openers as well - they just used one a minute ago.

And now it's A&B with Abrams & Berg! :P

We have an anchor pairing reunion today, as Dave and Eboni are hosting today's Day Planner. Haven't seen them together since 2005.

Hello, TWC studios (http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCP&cp=png2p47yvgy5&style=o&lvl=2&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=23392416&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&encType=1).
BTW, anyone happen to know which side of the building the HD studio was added to?
-
According to that map, the new studio is located to the left of the building. They tore up most of the parking lot to make room for it, AFAIK. I've only seen it from the Interstate.
-
Are the EE people a little loopy? They're doing the "Photo Finish" at :25.
Hello! There's a reason A&B does that segment at the end of the show. (Read: the name of the segment)
-
Interesting. Dave Schwartz and Ryan Goswick hosted the 8 PM ET hour of PM Edition tonight.

Now this morning they've dumped the FO intro theme and switched to using the FO segment opener cut for the show opener on both the full and master controlled editions of FO. I wonder what's up with that.
-
Now for the 5 AM CT hour, they've switched back to the original music, but they stopped it during the opener and then started it over again.
-
Kevin seems to be under the weather today. His voice is a bit more raspy than it usually is.
-
Now at the bottom of the hour on WC, they suddenly reverted back to the original HD pillar bars from the first day that they used them; I wonder why...
-
Now going to break, they played the WC bumper for about a second, stopped it, and switched to the DP bumper.
-
Today they're using yet another different FO opener theme; this one sounds completely new.
-
I didn't know where to put this, but I thought this thread was best from what I see.
Think the best way to judge that temperature display adjustment is seeing it on TWC HD. It's not quite clear to see on the SD feed and I have an HD set with the SD feed.
I have a feeling that the tabs that house the time and temperature should be adjusted, too (the length of the tabs, not the height). That way, they will be centered and not too squeezed on the blue bar. It might be a problem for temperatures above the century mark. I doubt the TWC logo position would ever be moved because of how a ton of live graphics pages and the blue bar have them aligned.
By the way, it the font type the same?
-
Question: When did TWC start calling Evening Edition West Coast just Evening Edition, and why did they do this?
-
Question: When did TWC start calling Evening Edition West Coast just Evening Edition, and why did they do this?
I'm think they started doing that shortly after Hillary left in 2006.

I see they're using the same Independence Day opener as last year, including the old four-note chime.

Now after only three days in HD, Sam has taken off, and it's a Weekend Weather Center reunion yet again with Betty and Kristin!

So where did Samantha go? :blink:
But from the looks of it, I don't know if Betty and Samantha really got along. Maybe they did; I don't know. I really liked the PME with Betty and Adam. :yes:
-
They might want to distribute the fill-ins evenly. Adam comes in for a few days, Kristin fills in on other days.
-
I much prefer the Betty and Adam pairing. They work well together.

Did master control loose the openers for EEWC? To start the past two segments, there was just a black screen instead of showing the Travel or Weekly Planner openers.

Don't know if anyone's seen this before, but on the old Abrams & Bettes site, there is a large interactive panoramic view of the old A&B set.
http://www.weather.com/aboutus/television/abramsandbettes/index.html
Click on "Interactive Experience" then on the popup window, click "Inside look behind the scenes." There should be a picture of the old set, then hover over the edges of the picture to scroll left or right.
The panorama spans from the main desk around the entire studio to the key wall.

Wow, that is really weird. I wonder if they'll be doing PME as well. That would be Kelly's first show in HD.
Also, I noticed that for Independence Day, they've brought back the big American flag in Studio 1A that was always next to the right hand pillar until 2006.
-
They have/had a flag near the GFC too, didn't they?
-
They used to have two, then they cut it down to just the GFC one in 2006.
-
Hmm, Bill and Kelly are still doing the 3 PM CT hour. :huh:
-
I guess we'll see a different team for PME, then.
Yeah, both flags are back in the studio again.
-
Nick and Vivian are going to be doing PM Edition.
-
Wow, so maybe they were rehearsing for HD on those two days of extra long-form programming?
-
Apparently Nick hasn't rehearsed enough; his pointing is *way* off target.
-
Why is the schedule so weird today? :unsure:
-
Probably because its a holiday. Things are always a bit different on holidays. :sunglasses:
-
Interesting. Samantha Mohr and Paul Goodloe are doing EE this evening.

Yeah, my guide doesn't show either hour this weekend as being HD; however First Outlook will indeed be in HD on Monday, so get ready for that.
-
Interesting. PM Edition Weekend is still in SD... :huh:
I'll have to admit that this doesn't make any sense to me. :blink: So PM Edition Weekend is like a completely different segment that will be going HD at a later time.
Or possibly all weekend segments are still in HD, though this wouldn't explain Evening Edition on the weekends.
-
Apparently there's a reason that the show if officially titled "PM Edition Weekend" I guess it's considered a completely separate entity from weekday PM Edition. My guess is that that PMEW will go HD at the same time as WWC, which may or may not be at the same time as weekday WC.
-
This must be "learn about Kristin Dodd's family" night. Now we know that her mom is dealing with flooding, and her sister is coming to visit me (figuratively) in Chicago.
Edit: Now her daughter went down to Florida on a dolphin watching ride.
And now Kristin just mentioned that her niece is expecting and may be due tomorrow.
-
Will that mean she will be out for a little while?
-
Will that mean she will be out for a little while?
...why would she be out?? it's not like she's having the baby...
-
Wow, that was some of the most creative hopping around the topic of female breasts that I've ever heard by Adam and Kristin there (they were talking about mammatus clouds). It ended with Adam saying to Kristin, "Some day you might get me, silly rabbit."
Also tonight, Adam commented on TWC HD's exposure by saying, "Evening Edition in HD, for those of you who get it, is next."
We Also learned that Adam has dual US-Canadian citizenship after Kristin jokingly gave him the evil eye for saying that the Canadian side of Niagara Falls is better. (which it is)
Of course, Adam and Kristin both finished up regular EE by Adam mentioning that they're both off tomorrow, so they don't have to worry about the wake-up weather tomorrow. (they even kind of admitted that it's become a Sunday night tradition for Adam to bring up the subject)
-
Then at the end of EEWC, Kristin mentioned "utterly amazing temperatures", and Adam said that it was funny that she should say "utterly". Kristin started laughing while Adam reminded us of "mammatus". It was a good show tonight; Adam and Kristin do a good show together. Then again, Adam seems to make things interesting no matter who he's paired with (except for a few OCMs). I guess Adam has accepted the responsibility of being the Dave of the future, although Adam tends to be a little more ethical and less off-the-wall than Dave.
-
I enjoyed watching EEWC tonight. Adam and Kristina are a good team. Kristin must love getting into personal lives on air, from what I've been reading in this thread, and watching the show tonight. haha.
-
Interesting, today they ran a recorded segment about hurricane tracks and intensity featuring Dr. Lyons in the old Weekend View studio wearing the same ensemble that he's wearing today. Either he recorded that in the past, coincidentally wearing the same thing, or that was recorded today. I wonder if that studio is indeed still active.
-
And now we're seeing our first solo EEWC in HD - Rich Johnson is hosting EEWC by himself tonight.
-
And now we're seeing our first solo EEWC in HD - Rich Johnson is hosting EEWC by himself tonight.
Adam Berg must be the primary EEWC fill in now that Cheryl Lemke works mornings. Since Adam has off on Monday and Tuesday, Rich or Sharon would have to go solo if the other is not available. My question is who would host if both Rich and Sharon are off?
-
Kristina Abernathy is now the only Monday/Tuesday fill-in, but she's not trained for HD yet I'd assume. (which reminds me of an audio clip I want to get up).
If both Rich and Sharon were to take off in an emergency, they might either resort to calling Adam and saying, "surprise, gang, but you're not off this Monday!", or they might call up someone from the PME crew like they used to do in the Dave & Hillary era.
-
They just played the A&B opener at the bottom of the hour. Apparently the one that's not part of the teaser doesn't have weather icons on Mike Bettes's part. BTW, anyone ever notice how ridiculous the temperatures on there are?

It IS summer, so maybe she's on vacation? ;)
-
She took the same days off last year, so this must be a regular thing for her.
-
Probably. Some people have a particular week or two during the summer that they like to take off each year. Maybe its a family tradition or something, who knows. :sunglasses:
-
We finally know the name of the "other" Adam that Jim seems to mention nightly during EE. Adam Dean.
-
It's Wednesday, so Adam Berg is back tonight on EEWC alongside Rich!
-
Let's do that, gang!
-
And Adam said that he just wants it to be Monday again so he could get his "weekend." He commented that "just about everyone in the country knows I have Monday and Tuesday off."
:P
-
I heard that too. I wonder if Adam knows about all of us out here...
-
At the beginning of PME at 5 PM ET, there was a bit of confusion of who would do the live teasers.
(whispering at beginning of show)
Sam: I'll go.
Betty: OK.

It doesn't seem like those two get along very well a lot of times, as if they don't have good chemistry. No PME chemistry will ever beat Carl and Kristina, though. :(

I particularly like Carl and Jennifer...

I have to say, the last segment of EEWC last night was one of the best Adam-Kristin moments I've seen in some time.
Adam's cell phone, Kristin's and Adam's sleep patterns, and "local on the forecast."

Adam and Kristin are really starting to become a fun pairing.
Apparently now I have to go make some popcorn and grab a cold drink and meet them back at :20 for the Weekly Planner.

Looks like Adam is going to be getting NCAA Football 2009 when it is released on Tuesday at midnight...

That was funny; they spent like 50 seconds talking and 10 seconds doing what they were actually supposed to do. I think EEAD is officially the golden era of EEWC Weekend. I don't want the show to end!

That was funny; they spent like 50 seconds talking and 10 seconds doing what they were actually supposed to do. I think EEAD is officially the golden era of EEWC Weekend. I don't want the show to end!
Perhaps Adam is going to paint the walls while sitting on the couch? :P
He could always get a roller with a real long handle! :P :rofl2:

Interesting. I found a Weekly Planner segment off of TWC's Blue Box site, and it contained a different version of the 03-05 EE Weekly Planner opener, and what's even more interesting is that it had the 01-03 Weather Center Weekly Planner music to it! :o Video attached.

I saw a new Station Id at :58 past. It shows a river and canyon. I'll try to record it.

That's not new. There are two station ID's that are used this summer, the one you mentioned and the beach one.

There's actually a third one. It's the same old river one that they've been using for some time now.

Wow, I don't recall TWC having that many station ID's at once since before the 2003 relaunch! :o
-
Well I've never seen it. I belive it's the same canyon one but with a different angle
-
Here are the three that they're using right now:

Well, Sharon is going solo tonight on EEWC. I guess Sharon's vacation ended right when Rich's started.

That's kind of silly, IMO. Poor Sharon has to come back from her vacation and go solo. Maybe it's not that big of a deal, though.

OMG they just played "Highland" by Ryan Farish right as we're going on break! Haven't heard that song in ages!

I need your opinion what do you think of this TWC email i got sent to me
Hello.
I am in the PR department of The Weather Channel. Your name was given to me by our customer service representative when I asked him to provide me with the names of some viewers who had contacted us about their interest in the music that they hear on The Weather Channel.
You may know that The Weather Channel has begun compiling some of the music that is played during "Local on the 8s" and offering on CD's. The first one -- "The Weather Channel Presents Smooth Jazz" was a big success when it was released last fall and made its way to the top of the Billboard chart in the "contemporary jazz" category. We have just recently put out a second CD, "Smooth Jazz II," and I am doing publicity to help drive sales of the CD.
One of the reporters writing about the CD asked if he could have the names of some viewers who are really interested in the music on The Weather Channel and who might be able to comment about it and also -- it would be an extra plus -- if you were familiar with the CD too and perhaps had purchased because of your fondness for the music.
Would you have an interest in speaking with the reporter and telling him what you think about the value and pleasure you receive from our music?
Just let me know if you would be interested in looking into this.
Thanks.
Connie Malko, senior manager, PR, The Weather Channel

DO NOT POST THE E-MAIL ADDRESS.
Did it come from a weather.com e-mail? Then I'd assume it's legit.
-
Oh its legit, I'm sure of that.
Andyes, please keep private info private. :)
-
yes it said from @weather.com so i guess it is
-
You're lucky! I wish i could be part of an interview. What email did u send to them?
-
i guess by asking if they would play more trammell on weatherscan and they turned it in to that email
-
They're showing a Commando Weather segment now. I've haven't seen this on in more than a year.
-
They're showing a Commando Weather segment now. I've haven't seen this on in more than a year.
Yeah I saw it a few days ago. I figured they'd be back - as they were originally shot in HD.
-
Is it just me, or does Carl sound like he is sick?
-
Is it just me, or does Carl sound like he is sick?
Yes, yes he does :yes: If he's not sick, than maybe he went through a second puberty :P.
-
Is it just me, or does Carl sound like he is sick?
I thought that the minute I heard him today.
-
Is it just me, or does Carl sound like he is sick?
Carl just confirmed that. :yes:
-
...and he just confirmed it at the top of the hour when he completely flubbed the opener and said, "Hi and Weekend Now...wait let me try that again...Hi and WELCOME to Weekend Now, I'm the very sick Carl Parker."
-
I'll bet the red air quality in Atlanta isn't helping out Carl, either.
-
Red air quality? Yuck.
-
The side backdrop appears to be out of place today to where you can see fake wood to the left of the backdrop. Is that the wall behind the backdrop or possibly the old backdrop that they used to use back in 2001-2002? I remember Jae saying something about them still having old backdrops around...
-
Can you get a picture or clip of this?
-
Carl sounded even worse today during Weekend Now, then it looks like they let him leave early, leaving Kevin do do the rest of the show by himself.
-
I noticed. I hope his lungs are fine
-
When did he leave? When I tuned to WN at 12:30 today Kevin was solo. I figured he was solo the entire broadcast.
-
When did he leave? When I tuned to WN at 12:30 today Kevin was solo. I figured he was solo the entire broadcast.
I know Carl was around for at least the first hour; I believe he left around noon eastern.
-
I hope Carl gets better. What kind of sickness does he have? His voice sounded a lot deeper; he might be losing it.
-
Probably just a cold or something. :yes:
-
No one really knows exactly what's up with him. Probably just the common cold, folks. No need to panic. ;)
-
He DOES work in a relatively enclosed environment, with a decent number of other people. Colds do tend to circulate in such environments you know. ;)
-
For once, Adam has to come into work on Monday. He will be filling in for Carl, who apparently is going to a concert, but the way he sounded today, he might have to stay at home and rest.
-
Wow, that's different. No laying in the couch for him tomorrow!
-
I can't imagine how Carl would feel going to a concert the way he sounded. That would have to suck if he spent a lot of money on tickets...
BTW, I wonder if Adam will cycle around and have next weekend off with Carl working the shift instead, it's quite a possibility.
-
I hope everyone appreciates Adam telling the whole nation about the personal lives of TWC employees :P
-
Anyone seen Ray Stagich lately?
-
He was on last weekend, but not this weekend. Do you know something we don't? :P
-
Today, with Heather and Nicole hosting YWT, they're using a more polished recorded teaser like the other shows, but the opener is still being played separately.

They did that last Friday, too. :yes:

I don't know you guys. Seems to me that if it was only a minor cold or something Carl COULD be feeling just fine today...or at least better than he did over the weekend. :twothumbs:
-
So apparently Adam Berg is filling in for Carl Parker today, who was in turn supposed to be filling in for Nick Walker.
-
So they're sending out four TWC staffers for Dolly. Jim Cantore, Mike Bettes, Mike Seidel, and Julie Martin.
-
They're sending them out already! :censored: They are so hyped up for a storm that is only supposed to impact five square miles of US land.
-
I'm surprised. I thought the group would include Bill Keneely. IIRC, Bill's always been one of the field reporters during hurricane coverage. :unsure:
-
They're sending them out already! :censored: They are so hyped up for a storm that is only supposed to impact five square miles of US land.
No, they're not going to send them out until tomorrow. And where are you getting this five square miles of land? I'm sure a storm that has basically engulfed most of the Gulf of Mexico will impact more than five square miles of US land.
-
The only thing I question is the intensity aspect. Its not a very strong storm at all, and yet their sending people out there like they're expecting another Katrina. :wacko:
-

They seem to do that a lot. They did that in 2005, they sent Jim Cantore down here when Arlene was headed our way, and it only made landfall as a Tropical Storm.
-
TWC has been overhyping hurricanes since John Hope died.
-
Ratings.
Overhyping= more viewers= more ratings
-
It seemed like it was heading towards Bronsville, TX, but that could be an outdated forecast.
I was joking of that number.
-
It seemed like it was heading towards Bronsville, TX, but that could be an outdated forecast.
It is, but since it's a rather large circulation, it's going to effect a lot of people. :yes:

At last, Rich and Sharon are back together on LDT!

I haven't heard Rich saying "Yeah let's do that" in person for a while

actually, I think the opposite, things have definitely gotten better. an occasional mess up here and there, so what? no network is perfect. the end.

Uhh, yeah...
That's not what caused the meltdown. A water leak caused the meltdown, not some guy in mater control who forgot to use the right opener, or whatever.

well there can be a power outage? anything can happen
-
Yeah but that has nothing to do with the errors. :whistling:

Sorry, but I'm pretty sure you knew what I meant. I meant "in-person" by him on TV. I rarely watch that pair late night, let alone on TV, that's why.

That's what they have backup generators for. ;)

I've been a television producer for 7 years now, and in those 7 years, I've problaly made a mistake on every show I've ever done. It may not be noticable to the home viewer, but everyone in this industry makes mistakes, we're only human.
-
Christ, can TWC ever go one segment without any mentioning of hurricanes?
That's practically why I stopped watching TWC over the summer.
-
They've now moved into doing the "You're watching The Weather Channel, Your Hurricane Authority" bumper at the top of every hour.
-
Is the entire media hyping about this pathetic storm?
-

Yeah,no :censored:. Though,it's important that the people that need to take precautions need to stay updated.

CNN is :P They talk about it for maybe every 15 / 30 minutes for only about 5 minutes. IMO, it's a good balance.
-
Oh, I take that back. We've got the CNN "Tropical Storm Dolly" backwards L bar sqeeze... :P
-
For a second there, they switched over to the radar in the corner instead of the satellite, but then they switched back.

It happened again at 3:40 PM ET.
Edit: Looks like they're alternating between radar and satellite.

Now they've thrown the Projected Path into the loop for the corner inset as well.
-
...which proves that they are just hyperventalating over the forgettable tropical storm. It isn't expected to strike the entire Gulf coast, but just a small section of coastal Texas.
-
...which proves that they are just hyperventalating over the forgettable tropical storm. It isn't expected to strike the entire Gulf coast, but just a small section of coastal Texas.
Yeah, but the area of South Texas is quite flood prone, and Dolly could bring major flooding to the area. This isn't just "a wimpy tropical system" - this is actually a serious event. :yes:
-
One good ting about Dolly is that its now not expected to impact the oil industry at all. Thank god for that. :biggrin:
-
They plated the Storm Alert music going to a Health segment at 5:43 PM ET.

That was the 2006 Storm Alert LF theme.

Never seen this before... At 6:03 PM ET, they were showing a radar image of Dolly, and they zoomed in on Titan, and there were two "Brownsville" city labels. Then they moved the one so it would be over top the other.
-
I'm very confused with the storm alert music because there seems to be three different themes. :wacko: Here are some videos:

I'm thinking the theme from Billy's video is Storm Alert and the others are just for the basic tropical update. :yes: Does someone mind helping me out on this, though. Thanks! :)
-
Yeah, it is that last one.
-
Interesting; Jim Cantore basically just touted this storm as "a fun time".

They're going to Sharon and Rich at the top of the hour. I guess with the new schedule there's no more such thing as a three hour regular EE?
-
...and surprisingly, EEWC just grazed over the topic of Dolly and focused instead on the region-by-region forecast. It also looks like they might not even go live through the night. This is nothing like we would've seen two years ago.

They even just pulled the "Dolly Box" half way through the segment, havent seen it since. Also dropped the lower third I've seen most the night.

I also noticed Jim wasn't looking at the camea for the whole opener at 11:00PM, he was looking at something off to the right for the whole thing.
-
I wonder what TWC is going to do at 2 AM CT. Surely they wouldn't go into long-form?!?
-
Overnight Outlook? :P
-
My guess is either:
1) First Outlook will step in an hour early at 3AM ET, in the same format as the 4AM hour.
2) A reprise of the 12AM/2AM ET hour of EEWC will air, or
3) Rich and Sharon will give a live update at 3AM ET.
I'm aiming towards the third choice, though I wouldn't be suprised if long-form airs at 3AM.
-
in the same format as the 4AM hour.
I believe though, recently, the 3 AM CT hour of First Outlook is full controlled like the 4 and 5 AM CT hours are. :yes:
-
Long form programming at 2 AM CT. Not surprising, though. :no:
-
This is boring... :P
Seriously though, do you folks think pre-empting would be merited here, or is this system not really worth it?
-
So... do you think they'll go into Storm Alert? After all the hype they gave this storm the past two days, they're really underplaying it now on First Outlook, and we're only a few hours from a landfall.
-
Is it me, or is the YWT too darn cheerful for the situation? An anticipated cat 2 is still nothing to take lightly.
-
The LDL on Dish Network is just rotating city names, no WX. :P
Same on DirecTV. It happens everynight when they display the next-day conditions
-
Landfall could only a few hours away. This storm is a category 2, and they're still not in Storm Alert. Could we see it at noon eastern?
...I guess I won't be able to find out, I'll be at work. :P

I've put a ticket in with Echostar (Satellite company) to see if I can get in to Jim / Mike's live feed. Did anyone catch a view of which truck Jim had? I know they showed it at about 9 last night, but I wasn't recording then. If I know which truck it is, I know which satellite they are on, and can get the raw feed of Cantore!
-
Just to add to what I said, I think I found it. He's on AMC 5, possibly. I will head out and lock a dish to it and report back. If I DO obtain the feed, I will stream it online.

No. Only I can see it, it's not on a "Dish" satellite, it's on a "feed" satellite that is operated by Echostar. It requires a Motorola MPEG / PowerVu receiver to get it.

You can't now, he's offline now. :P

Apparently Dave and Vivian are up at the top of the hour. Could it possibly be in HD? Is Dave ready for HD? I'm actually surprised they're bringing Dave into this situation. Perhaps Dolly is funny? :P

Nope, not HD.

Hmm, then I wonder why Day Planner went HD this morning. :huh:

They just lost Mike, signal dropped.
They've also got the live bug over recorded things.

Also so far on Weather Center, they've been using a remixed version of the Tropical Update theme that was used in 2005 (before the BWTL relaunch). I really like that theme. :yes:
-
I hated the 2005 BWTL Tropical pdate package. The orchestral doom music, the biggest lower-thirds i have ever seen, and the rain-on-window effect rubs me the wrong way somehow.

I actually liked the entire package pretty much, but I agree with you on the lower thirds. :yes: I disagree about the rain-on-window effect. I REALLY liked that, it captured that "tropical" feeling pretty well. B)

The 2005 set was probably my favorite. They did a good job covering storms, and the rain-on-window effect, as you said, was really neat.

Also so far on Weather Center, they've been using a remixed version of the Tropical Update theme that was used in 2005 (before the BWTL relaunch). I really like that theme. :yes:
I really liked the theme for 2005 too. That one and the 2006-2007 one were the best. :yes:
-
I really liked the overall "calm and casual" direction TWC was headed towards after the 2005 relaunch, like those BWTL promos with the vocal music, and the set on Weekend View. Apparently that was a bad idea for the average viewer, though.
-
does anybody know how to contact the STAR team?
If you mean by PM, you're not allowed to. You can try calling the STAR dept. though. You might find the number somewhere on weather.com
-
season lover, I believe Day Planner was scheduled to be in high definition Monday.

Alex, that question is completley irrelevant to both this thread and this forum.

But then again, even that date could be wrong, and we may actually see Day Planner in HD on Monday (or perhaps they may decide to keep it HD for the rest of the week). We'll have to wait and see.

Just heard a wicked remix / very unheard cut of the A&B theme...
-
After the EE opener, the whole screen went green for 3 or so seconds, then to the wide studio shot.
-
At 8:00 PM CT, the TWC logo that appears in the lower right-hand corner of the screen on the start of segments stayed on longer than usual. Normally, it would disappear after 10 seconds, but this time it stayed on for more like 30-ish seconds. I wonder why that happened. :huh:
-
For some reason, the cut of music that plays with the standalone A&B opener is really screwed up; it's like there are two tracks playing at once, making it sound horrible.
-

Thats exactly what it is, its a overlap between the two, have you noticed how on both EE & AB they have to fade between tracks (pre-edit segments with track, to live Audio Cart track)? It's hard to do without making it sound like crap. However TWC has been pulling it off very nicely.

Could you, could you, could you PM me this information as well, if you don't mind? I think I already have the contact information, but PM me it just in case.
-
Ugh, I may have to change the channel. I don't think I can handle hearing about the kid getting struck by lighting in his shorts again.
-

Yeah, like it was so cool hearing about that kid again, man! Like, I'm sitting here in my favorite pair of shorts, and I'm like watching FFN and I hear this kid who like got struck by lightning. It was so cool, man!
-
I actually managed to tune the episode out while sitting here in my favorite pair of shorts. That was wicked awesome! I hope I get to do it again!
-
At 11:40 AM ET, Dave mentioned that the "Travel Delays" segment used to be called "Travel Wise" and he mentioned that they're "talking the low road" and how much more positive "Travel Wise" sounded than "Travel Delays."
-
Hmm, that's interesting. :yes:
-

I so agree with him. He probably misses storm watch too, because a few months ago he called the :50 segment "storm watch."
-
I have TWC recording in my DVR at the moment,so,if anything good happens that I happen to miss,I can watch it. :D
-
So, how did EEWC go on Wednesday night? Was it just three hours long, or was the 3AM long-form block pre-empted?
-
So, how did EEWC go on Wednesday night? Was it just three hours long, or was the 3AM long-form block pre-empted?
Just three hours. :(
I have to agree with what Dave said as well; the segment isn't even *just* about delays.
-
Oh great, we've got a new story about a guy who got struck by lighting through his baseball cap. Maybe they can make a new FFN about it!
Also, apparently Mish Michaels is going to be on A&B later.
-
Also, apparently Mish Michaels is going to be on A&B later.
She's still with the network!?
And since my tuner's out of commission right now, is someone going to cap this for us?
-

Really? Get a clip of it when it airs! I haven't seen her since she was in Atmospheres.
-
She's still with the network!?
No, she's going to be a guest meteorologist. :yes:
-
For some reason, the cut of music that plays with the standalone A&B opener is really screwed up; it's like there are two tracks playing at once, making it sound horrible.
Looks like they fixed that issue tonight.
-
Speaking of A&B.. My neighbours were outside and their children were in ther hot tub and man were they loud, as usual, so I took 4 speakers, put them around the windows in the house and blasted the A&B music... They are now gone :) But I dont think I'll stop playing it. :P
I choose the A&B music because of the indian touch in the middle, I've attached the sound I'm talking about...
That heard over and over again can drive people nuts, not me tho :P
-
Man, something I've realised is that these guys have an incredibly hard time figuring out which camera they are on.... There are tally light on them!
-

I'd love to see Mish again!!
-
Kyle if you lived where i live you would be able to see her on WBZ-TV Boston Most likely on Weekends
-
Tonight during EEAD, for both the top and bottom of the hour, they used the opener for regular EE; at the top of the hour, it transitioned to a black screen before they did a hard cut to the camera, and at the bottom of the hour, they cut it off early before it could automatically transition.
Both openers also used an alternate cut of the EE theme.
-
So I guess Adam still hasn't painted his room yet. He said that he'll put it off until next week. :P
-
Where has Kim Perez been? I haven't seen her on Weekend Now and Day Planner in at least two weeks.
-
A VERY old OCM pairing from the late 90's reunite. Mike Seidel and Kristina Abernathy are on Day Planner/Weather Center today.
-
Where has Kim Perez been? I haven't seen her on Weekend Now and Day Planner in at least two weeks.
I just saw her last week... I'm pretty sure
-

She was on weekend view this weekend filling in for kelly.
-
This week Kim is on First Outlook filling in for Jeff since she's apparently the only Monday-Tuesday OCM with HD training.
-
Never realized that they could put lower thirds over the openers.
-
An opener is a source, just like a camera. A key can be put above anything.
-
Here's a fun picture of the old studio with my local meteorologist Sabrina Fein.She interned there a few years ago and posted a picture in her blog.It's in entry October 22, 2007.She used it to answer a question abot TV careers.

-
It looks like all of the international weather graphics on weather.com now use the same graphics as the rest of the weather.com forecasts, rather than using the same banner and graphics as the forecasts on TWC.
-
Just saw my first Weather Update segment since the June 2 relaunch. Instead of any "Weather Update" openers, they used the generic "Severe Weather" opener.
-
Is the volume of everything on the channel really low for anyone else right now? I haven't touched a thing on my TV and the IntelliStar narration is at normal levels.
-
Everything's fine here. :unsure:

WHOA!!! :blink: :wow: :crazy: :wacko:
Dennis Smith? August of 2008?
-
Here is the video, in case anyone misses it before it gets out of date:
-
Geez, I told you all he was still there. :biggrin:
-
WOW! That's the first time I've seen Dennis since 2005! Great to still have him there. :D
-
Dennis is also doing the regional forecasts on weather.com today!
-
:D This is great news!
-
It may be a long shot, but anyone think that we could see Dennis back on TV any time soon?
-

Maybe we'll see him on Weekend Outlook, or perhaps on First Outlook when Jen goes on maternity leave.
-
has anyone noticed that the sponsor messages have been appearing much more often on the weather.com forecasts? I hate it how those ads cover up the whole page, which really slows my computer down.
-

I noticed that. I was going to put one of those on YouTube, but right before I downloaded it, they replaced the forecast with one by Alex Wallace. <_< (http://www.twcclassics.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/hairout.gif) :angry:
-
When were the "Where's the Weather" and "Forecast for You" segments discontinued on Weekend View?
-
I seem to remember "Forecast for You" lasting after Dao Vu left, so it was probably discontinued with the relaunch. I'm pretty sure "Where's the Weather" was discontinued before Dao left or possibly when Dao left.
-
I guess the dust from the HD relaunch is starting to settle; they finally used a recorded teaser for the start of the 7 PM CT hour of PMEW tonight.

They used that a few weekends ago too, actually.
-
Ah, I see.
Was Adam pulling a Dave earlier and making up facts for humorous purposes when he said that the Weekly Planner was voted America's favorite segment, or was there some real poll about that?
-
Well, there is a FAQ on weather.com (http://www.weather.com/interact/contactus/cableprogramming.html?from=contactus) about when the weekly planner airs, so it is a possibility that it is indeed America's favorite segment.
I personally always found the weekly planner the most useful and interesting segment since I started following TWC in the late 90's.
-
Especially now that they restored the temperature maps to their former glory... :cool3:
-
Especially now that they restored the temperature maps to their former glory... :cool3:
Exactly. Now all they need to do is ditch the key for the forecast maps and bring back the text that overlayed the color codes on the maps like before the HD relaunch. As it is now, the light rain code is so bright that it keeps making me think it means rain and snow! It's also hard to tell how heavy the precip will be without the text overlaying it, and whether it will be scattered or numerous.
-
Especially now that they restored the temperature maps to their former glory... :cool3:
I know! I saw that this morning on Weekend View! It was so nice to see it. To me, before, the map used to just be very red. haha

Why are they still showing the Hurricane Authority openers? There are no tropical systems out there. :unsure:

-
Yep, I've got it all recorded thanks to my buffer holding up lately, but I'm also going to get EEAD on the same DVD, so after that show's done, I can post clips.
I can't believe all the stuff Adam and Kristin are doing together these days; this pairing is seriously rivaling the Dave and Hillary era in awesomeness. I used to think Rich and Sharon were all right, but now when the weekdays come, I find myself wishing for Adam and Kristin again. Do you guys think it would get old if we had the show 5 days a week instead of 2? Then again, Dave and Hillary never got old, but we didn't appreciate the awesomeness of the pairing enough until it was all over all too soon. I hope Adam and Kristin stay together for much longer; TWC would be smart to keep them together, even if it is at a different timeslot at some point in time and as long as they have the same freedom that EE Weekend producer Terrance gives them. Adam and Kristin still give us the weather, but they keep us entertained at the same time.
Anyone want to literally write to TWC and request an Adam fan as Kristin suggest we do? :P
-

That's basically a sweet deal there, gang.
-
EEAD was a little flat tonight since TWC is starting to focus more on Eduardo, but Kristin specifically invited us back "next weekend at 10 and Midnight, because you never know what's going to happen; we've got tons of surprises here."
-
Now there is, that pathetically weak Eduardo storm hugging the Gulf Coast. And believe me, TWC's been on top of it for every segment. :furious:

Oh yay, now they've got someone on the phone for Eduard evacuations over a tropical storm that'll probably be a weak category 1 hurricane at the worst.
Look out.
-
9:33PM...
(Jorma is on the phone with Jim, and is talking about the Cubs game, and it's delay with the bad weather)
JIM: So did they get the players off the field when it started storming, or did they play through?
JORMA: They stopped the game, Jim.
-
Why are they talking about Chicago weather all of a sudden when they are on tropical hype mode?

Tell me Dr. Lyons didn't just say that South Padre Island is in the Galveston area. (Although I'm sure he simply slipped if that's the case; he obviously knows better.)

He probably just rolled out of bed like I did. :rofl2: I turned on the TV and heard him say that, and I thought "that doesn't sound right, now, does it?"
-
I turned on TWC this morning, and I've been impressed with the amount of coverage on severe weather and Edouard. The top of the show was severe weather, and not Edouard :twothumbs:
-
Hmm, Heather Tesch's outfit made me wonder, does she have a baby bump? Anyone else notice this. I could be wrong, it just could be her guy, but I'm not sure.

I think Dave's favorite location in New York City is Stickball Blvd. He mentions it almost every time he talks about New York.

It's also seems that when he talks about Philadelphia he mentions about his mother living there. I wonder if he'll ever make his way here if he ever happens to leave TWC, since Philly is where he is from.

Dave and Kim doing HD Weekend Now.
...and during the open, Kim was plagued with the can't talk virus (or the can't read a teleprompter virus).

This is odd
I've got a Tornado Warning in effect, but at the same time there's a Flash Flood Warning, so the scroll shows the Flash Flood Warning (which is never a problem here on LI) right after the Tornado. Shouldn't they only be showing the tornado warning in terms of priorities?
-

Exactly.
What kills more per year, flooding, or tornadoes. ;)
Still, both are equally as important. I didn't know that they showed multiple warnings up until a few weeks or so ago.
-
The warnings alternate, and the newer warning takes precedent. So, if a Tornado Warning was issued at, say, 5:00 and a Flash Flood Warning at 5:05 pm, the FF Warning would interrupt the Tornado Warning, and then they would alternate back and forth.
-
I see
It was pretty interesting having a Tornado, Severe Thunderstorm, and FF Warning all at the same time to say the least, but unfortunatly the local forecast didn't say "A.. Warning is in effect" when I taped it

Why in the world are Vivian and Nick using Google Earth's static radar view rather than Titan? Does TWC not know how hideous it looks on air?

I don't know why they can't just go back to the old NEXRAD radar feeds...
-
Nah, the NEXRAD radars are too old. They haven't shown them regularly since 2004. They might not even have them in their system anymore.

what radar system are they using other than the google based ones? sometime last hour vivan mentioned a torando warning in SE Louisiana, and a radar popped up with no topographic map, just a brown background, with the airport codes.

That was a program similar to GrLevelX (but it wasn't; that program can not be used on TV).
-
They are having some of the most bizarre outages today.
At 3:29, Trammell/Emergency Feed played, it overran into FFN's slot, they cut to the river :57 id image, then started FFN late.
-
Billy, I happen to be an owner of GRLevel3.
I have seen Greg Forbes use GRLevel2 Analyst Edition on TWC. I think that program is restricted in some of the TV news markets out there.

thanks. SO on Monday they will show regular programming all night from 1 to 4am?
-
thanks. SO on Monday they will show regular programming all night from 1 to 4am?
No. Long form programming is at 3 AM ET (like I previously said). From 1 to 3am ET is regular programming, 3AM ET is longform programming, and 4 AM ET (4:30 ET on weekends), regular programming returns.
-

No. Long form programming is at 3 AM ET (like I previously said). From 1 to 3am ET is regular programming, 3AM ET is longform programming, and 4 AM ET (4:30 ET on weekends), regular programming returns.
Then why was I seeing Long Form at 2am ET recently?

-

It's master controlled. EEWC has been using the same pre-recorded teaser that regular EE Weekend uses lately, because the same OCMs host both shows. :yes:

Dave and Cheryl on Weekend Weather Center today...
-
Yep, they're preparing for preemption starting tonight. The Fay ticker is already saying that live reports will be starting at 7 PM ET, so we definitely won't be seeing the 7 PM hour of Forecast Earth or WWCH later on, but we still might see the 5 PM ET hour of Forecast Earth. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
My guess is that Carl and Kristina will handle all of the hours of PME while Kristin and the gang leader handle all of EE (and EEAD).
-
Oh no, more overhyping of the storm that probably won't become a hurricane.
I am SHOCKED these guys haven't ran into storm alert mode yet.
-
Oh no, more overhyping of the storm that probably won't become a hurricane.
It's actually expected to. :yes:
-
but we still might see the 5 PM ET hour of Forecast Earth.
I've seen commercials for Forecast OMFG GLOBAL WARMING IS GONNA KILL US ALL Earth, and it said a 5pm airing. Makes sense, I think, since the next advisory comes at 6pm, no?
They've also ran a WWCH LF opener, leading me to believe it will air as scheduled, too.
Did anyone see the 413th airing of the Katrina FFN? They were running the lower one-half to two-thirds Fay radar/info graphic over the show.
-
My guess is that Carl and Kristina will handle all of the hours of PME
Looks like you were right, Carl and Kristina are on now.
-
Adam and Kristin will probably handle both hours of regular EE, then they'll probably run WWCH at 11 PM ET, followed by EEAD with Adam and Kristin as usual.
-
I just heard a slow version of the Tropical theme when going to this break. I've never heard it before; is it new?
-
Oh boy...no WWCH at 9. That's a shocker, gang.
Doubt we'll see long-form for a few days.
-
They just mentioned Storm Session will be on at 2 PM ET, 9 PM ET, and 11 PM ET tomorrow. So, apparently there is still afternoon long-form programming (at least tomorrow that is) and Storm Session will eat up the first hour of EEWC. I wonder how EEWC will work tomorrow night. Will they not have long-form programming at 3 AM ET (and have EEWC live at 12 and 1 am ET and repeat at 2 and 3 am ET), or will they just have do 1 live EEWC and repeat that the next 2 hours?
-
Storm Session will also air at 2 AM ET, just like all of the other long-form programming that airs in place of EE. I think the whole thing about it being on at 2 PM ET tomorrow is a mistake since they would ideally premiere the show during primetime. The ad probably really was supposed to be for Wednesday and Thursday when Storm Session will air at *all* of the aforementioned times.
-
According to my schedule Storm Sessions will indeed not air at 2PM tomorrow, Tuesday, and Wednesday. It will be airing at 9PM, 11PM, and 1AM ET those nights. So it looks like EEWC will be live at 12AM then a reprise at 2AM. ICHT/FFN will air as usual at 3AM.
For Thursday, Storm Sessions will be airing at the same times, except also at 2PM ET. On Friday, it will air at 2PM only.
Right now, WWCH is airing at 11PM ET, albeit with a corner radar graphic and lower third on Fay that's taking up nearly half the screen.
-
What's the odds for a storm alert here? I know it's only gonna be a cat 2 at most, but Florida landfalling storms seem to always go into storm alert
-
I fully expect to see TWC go into Storm Alert mode. I'll be very surprised if they don't.
-
IDK, I'm not thinking Storm Alert this time around.
-
IIRC, they didn't go to Storm alert for Dolly, so I doubt they will for Fay since it is not expected to be any stronger than what Dolly was.
-

Right. There was no Storm Alert during Dolly, so I don't expect them to go into Alert mode for a weaker storm. But on the other hand, TWC is known to do some pretty odd stuff. :D
-
Fay is yet another weak storm. This country is really lucking out again this year.

Yet on a tropical storm, TWC goes:
OMG EVERYONE BOARD UP YOUR HOUSE AND EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE WORST STORMS THAT WILL EVER HIT THE UNITED STATES IN TROPICAL HISTORY. WE WILL BE IN STORM ALERT AS THE WAVES RISE ANOTHER 3 INCHES AND THE WINDS INCREASE BY .25 MILES AN HOUR. THIS IS JUST AWFUL, JUST GOD AWFUL. WE WILL BE GIVING YOU SECOND BY SECOND COVERAGE.
OH MY GOD A DARKER CLOUD JUST ROLLED IN EVERYONE GET OUT IMMEDIATELY. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO GUST UP TO 40 MILES AN HOUR IN THIS TROPICAL STORM. SO BE SURE TO GET YOUR EMERGENCY KIT OUT AND COVER UP THE HOUSE COMPLETELY. ALSO, BE REMINDED SOME AREAS COULD ONLY GET A QUARTER INCH OF PRECIPITATION WHICH WILL MAKE BASEBALL FIELDS WET. NO ONE, AND I MEAN NO ONE SHOULD BE OUTSIDE.

Has anyone else's STAR (LF and LDL) not cued within the past 30 minutes or so? :unsure:
Yep thats going on here
Mine is gone too SD Satellite Still kickin :dance:
-
I just checked my IntelliStar and it's working fine (at least the LDL). Is anyone else's up at this hour?

It's been fixed (obviously). ;)
-
SD Sat viewers...during this quazi-long form, are you seeing the SD Sat or the HD Sat? After every Local, it keeps cuing the HD feed on the SD channel...then abruptly changes to the SD version.
-
I was hoping they would be using the interview corner for Storm Session, but I guess not. :hmm:
-
Paul and Alexandra ended up doing the 12AM hour of Evening Edition for Fay coverage, and likely also because of Storm Session. Rich and Sharon are on right now for the 2AM hour.
-
Did Paul and Alex do the show from the EE setup or the EEWC setup?
-
Did Paul and Alex do the show from the EE setup or the EEWC setup?
They had the regular EE setup at both 10PM and 12AM.
-
No ICHT/FFN at 3AM. Fay coverage continues with a 2AM rebroadcast.
-
They had live spots from Jim on the coast through out the night.

Yet on a tropical storm, TWC goes:
OMG EVERYONE BOARD UP YOUR HOUSE AND EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE WORST STORMS THAT WILL EVER HIT THE UNITED STATES IN TROPICAL HISTORY. WE WILL BE IN STORM ALERT AS THE WAVES RISE ANOTHER 3 INCHES AND THE WINDS INCREASE BY .25 MILES AN HOUR. THIS IS JUST AWFUL, JUST GOD AWFUL. WE WILL BE GIVING YOU SECOND BY SECOND COVERAGE.
OH MY GOD A DARKER CLOUD JUST ROLLED IN EVERYONE GET OUT IMMEDIATELY. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO GUST UP TO 40 MILES AN HOUR IN THIS TROPICAL STORM. SO BE SURE TO GET YOUR EMERGENCY KIT OUT AND COVER UP THE HOUSE COMPLETELY. ALSO, BE REMINDED SOME AREAS COULD ONLY GET A QUARTER INCH OF PRECIPITATION WHICH WILL MAKE BASEBALL FIELDS WET. NO ONE, AND I MEAN NO ONE SHOULD BE OUTSIDE.
AND WHEN THE TEMPERATURES DURING A HURRICANE RISE .5 DEGREES IT'S BECAUSE OF STUDIES OF GLOBAL WARMING. HERE'S SOME TIPS TO HELP PREVENT THAT.
There you have it, a day at The Hurricane....er, the Weather Channel.
Forget the EF5 tornadoes and basketball hail going on.

You try way to hard.

*Cries, bangs head, rips out hair*
At this rate they'll talk about.......
Ugh, why not just go into Storm Alert mode if you're going to just throw Fay into our face all day?
-
Storm alert music at 10:55 EST!
-
Storm Session will be airing at 3PM ET tomorrow, so looks like we'll only be getting one hour of Weather Center.

Kevin wore a white suit before, but I don't think anyone else has. Kevin is just badass like that. :P
-
Yes, I recall many times where Kevin wore his white suit :yes: I like it. Something different besides black all of the time.
I'm gonna be one of those "fun" personailites. I'll wear blue, black, white, and brown. haha :P

I remember when Paul Goodloe and Jim Cantore (possibly a few others) would often wear a white or bright colored coat back in the late 90's/early 00's.

Storm Session has been pre-empted.

What do you mean? Was Storm Session supposed to air at this time today? :unsure:

They've been airing promos about Storm Session airing at 3PM ET today.

Yes, because they have to cover Fay's...what...413th Florida landfall?

No Forecast Earth either! :D
An extra hour of Weather Center.

This is the first time that's happened since the June 2nd relaunch, BTW.
-
It seems that all long-form programming will be preempted tonight. We have Carl Parker and Kristina Abernathy hosting PM Edition. I imagine that we will then see Adam Berg and Kristin Dodd host EE... But 9pm et-2am et will be a pretty long shift for them.
-
I recall Cantore wearing a white one not too long ago.
-
Wow, when was the last time they had three shifts of OCMs work weekends from 2PM-4AM?
-
So...we get The Bergdodds from 9 until 4?
-
Apparently not everything will be pre-empted. WWCH is on right now. In that case wonder if we'll see Forecast Earth at 1AM and/or 3AM?
-
Tonight has been a weird night so far; for some reason, Carl and Kristina did both hours of PME even though there was no preemption tonight.
Also, both PME and EE took a trip into the past by using their respective "signature" production music from the Aug 07 - June 08 era. I wonder what's up with that. :P
EE also started the show with a live teaser like they used to use earlier in the summer where Adam (or Kristin) stands at the wall with the 4-split storyboard.
PME also used their regional openers for the first time that I can remember, and man, is that animation cool or what? I really like it; hopefully they'll use it again soon so you folks can see what I'm talking about.

I feel like a real idiot asking this question - what the heck is Storm Session? :dunno:

It's just a one-off episode, but it might have future editions about other topics since it was given its own name.
-
Oh, boy. Brand new episodes of WWCH are coming in October! I'll be sure to mark my calendar. :rolleyes:

I just hope they won't overplay the WWCH LF opener again...

Carl Parker looks a tad skinny than usual. :unsure:

Two things:
1) What was the Weather Center schedule like today? Did they do three hours, or did they do the ICHT/FFN nonsense?
2) I noticed that the lights on Steph for her part of the 6:30 PM CT block were out for a short time but then came on later in the segment. I guess they forgot to turn her lights on. Oops. :P
-
1) What was the Weather Center schedule like today? Did they do three hours, or did they do the ICHT/FFN nonsense?
It was 3 hours. :yes:
-
Sweet. I guess the long-form block was indeed just for final rehearsals/taping of Storm Session. Speaking of Storm Session, tonight Steph humorously tried to compare her outlandish prediction for the worst case scenario to what Fay is doing by heading to the Northeast now. :P
Anyone notice how the lights next to the city backdrop have been out since at least yesterday? I wonder if that's intentional or if it's something that needs to be fixed...
-
For some reason, TWC decided to assign Mike Bettes to do the updates on Gustav during this last hour of PME. I wonder what the thinking behind that was...
-
On another note from today, during her on-air hours today, Vivian used the old configuration of Titan/Skytracker that displays warnings by county and as solids instead of as outlines, exactly as it used to be. I don't think that's exactly a sensible way to configure Titan because that's not how warnings are issued nowadays. I also have to wonder if the satellite LFs (SD and HD) will ever be changed to display warning polygons instead of counties.
-
Tonight on A&B, they aired a Forecast Earth special report featuring Stu Ostro doing his part of the report from an area just behind the old studio 1B desk with the Global Forecast Center in the background. It's been a long time since we've seen that! :P
-
During the 10:50 PM ET Tropical Update, Dr. Lyons had some printout of a satellite picture in his hands.
-

Because Sam & Betty are truly TWC's worst pairing.

Jim Cantore has made an appearance on MSNBC right now.
EDIT: "For those who don't regularly watch The Weather Channel, when you see Jim Cantore in your town, you pack up the station wagon and run like hell."
-
Wow, Gastav's track and forecast strength is pretty much worst case scenario right now, and now there's Hanna out there that's forecast to strengthen into a hurricane by Sunday and then head toward the east coast of the US by late next week. Could this be a double week of hell for the U.S., and dare I say it, a double Storm Alert week? Has that ever happened for two different storms before?

It could hit my area. I'm very concerned about Hanna.

You've changed your name so many times that he's probably lost track. :P
Anyway, I don't think you have anything to worry about. Looking at the latest forecast cone, the storm appears to be predicted to move northwesterly until Sunday and then make a sharp turn west and hit Florida's east coast.
-
So what do you all think the probability of TWC going into Storm Alert for Gustav is? 50%? 75% 90% Higher?
I think it is pretty high, maybe ~80%. Seeing that they've been hyping up this storm since the beginning of the week, it could effect the very same area as Katrina did three years ago, and the fact that it could become a major hurricane once it hits the Gulf is even more of a resion.
BTW, is there severe weather occurring across the midwest tonight? Any bow echoes or squall lines out there?? :thinking:
-
Things are really starting to get down to business tonight; it's not very often at all that you see weekday EE start with a live teaser and opener. (with the teaser strangely following the opener)
There's been a little bit of coverage of the severe weather from what I can tell, but the Tropics are indeed overflowing the network. (perhaps rightfully so) Luckily it's only sprinkling here while the severe wx has so far stayed off to the west.
-
I found an interesting article on that Mobile TWC campaign from a while back.
http://www.dmnews.com/Integrated-campaign-sets-records-for-The-Weather-Channel/article/115803/
I never knew it was such a big promotion
-
Tonight BOTH Stephanie Abrams and Mike Bettes have stepped in on PM Edition.
-
Turn on NBC guys! Jim's reporting on Gustav!
-
They've started showing Labor Day openers. And, yes, it's the same opener as they used last year.
-
EDIT: "For those who don't regularly watch The Weather Channel, when you see Jim Cantore in your town, you pack up the station wagon and run like hell."
That is what I would do... or maybe something else...
Say, how is TWC covering Gustav? I am not watching them, but I have a feeling they have the radar insets as I speak. It does look like Gustav will make landfall as a major hurricane. I wonder how TWC will conduct their coverage then.
-
They actually don't have the satellite inset up yet. Now that I think about it, that's pretty surprising.
I'm sure they'll be in total freak-out mode soon enough, though.
-
When does TWC normally go into Storm Alert? About 24 hours before potential landfall, right?
-
When does TWC normally go into Storm Alert? About 24 hours before potential landfall, right?
Yes. Usually when there's a hurricane Cat 3 or higher about to make landfall.
-
Usually it's when the storm is 36-48 hours away from landfall from what I can recall.

So possibly late night tonight? Either way sounds like they'd go into it sometime tomorrow by that citeria

So there's a Category 4 hurricane in the Carribean and TWC is still showing long-form programming... :huh:
-
Tonight BOTH Stephanie Abrams and Mike Bettes have stepped in on PM Edition.
Were they still on A&B?
-
Wow, they're actually airing the FFN/ICHT block today... :blink: They had the inset satellite up for a few minutes, but then took it down shortly after the satellite picture froze (thanks VizWeather).
Tonight BOTH Stephanie Abrams and Mike Bettes have stepped in on PM Edition.
Were they still on A&B?
Yes.
-
They never seem to pre-empt the 2PM hour of long-form. I'm sure the 5PM, 7PM, and 9PM hours will be pre-empted though. They'll likely used the same format they used for Fay.
-
Could they be using this hour break to prepare for a full-out Storm Alert at 3 PM ET?
-
I don't think TWC was ready to go into preemptions yet; I'm thinking they didn't plan on Gustav becoming a major hurricane and didn't call in the needed OCMs to get through the night. Hey, my mom is sitting here absolutely captivated by ICHT compared to the studio programming. She's obviously in the "target demographic." >_<
-
Could they be using this hour break to prepare for a full-out Storm Alert at 3 PM ET?
Why would they go to Storm Alert if Gustav is nowhere near the US yet?
-
Because it's expected to have a huge impact on the US. ;)
-

And because it IS close to the US. Victor, you might want to have a look at the satellite of Gustav:

-
The eyewall is in Cuba :happy:
-
Looks like the info bar is up now during long-form.
-
Cheryl Lemke and Mike Seidel are doing WWC today so that Carl and Kristina can do the extended edition of PME later tonight.
I still wonder if they'll run Forecast Earth at 4 PM CT, though.
-
There's a new inset!
(http://vicb14.googlepages.com/inset.PNG)
-
That's not new, Victor. ;) They used it several times before with earlier storms this year, and they used that last year too.
-
I never saw it before! Yet again 99.99% of the time i only watch TWC to listen to the local forecast music.

I think they'll be going into storm alert soon, did anyone hear the music the played on the WWC opener?
-

That was a mistake most likely (that's happened before).

Exactly my thinking, Kyle.
I also think that Storm Alert probably won't start until Sunday morning at 7 AM ET since it usually doesn't start until the system is less than 36 hours out, and 7 AM ET seems to be the precedent for when Storm Alert starts. Now I have to debate whether to stay up for it or not... >_<
Maybe I'll just sleep in like three hour increments and wake up in time for each show's timeslot to start. :P
As a final thought, even though they're not in Storm Alert, will TWC find the means to go live overnight like they should, or will they leave us in the dark again? If they do go live overnight, they would certainly need the help of the weekday folks to do that.

One more discussion point: Why did TWC cover Dean's landfall in Mexico so much last year when generally, (including right now) TWC doesn't care that much to cover non-U.S. landfalls? Was that just due to the lack of U.S. action last year?
-

Probably because (a) 2007 was a lot less active in the US than they had anticipated and (b) it was a Category 5 at the time of landfall.
-
Jeff Morrow has been deployed for this storm; that's his first of the season! I wonder who will fill in for him on Monday morning; my guess would be Cheryl Lemke.
-
Hey, they fixed the lights to the right side of the city backdrop! I guess they wanted to be ready for the hurricane coverage...
...Carl also busted out a tie I've never seen before for this special occasion. :P
-
As of 6:08, Locals are not in SA mode yet...still the lame August list and the Labor Day opener.
-
I think that will be the case all night...
-
Who knows. TWC is so unpredictable.
-
That's not new, Victor. ;) They used it several times before with earlier storms this year, and they used that last year too.
That inset animates in too fast IMO. They should make the animation a bit slower.
-
Indeed, no Storm Alert tonight. I wonder if Adam will be willing to say "gang" tonight under these circumstances... :P
-
Kristin said TWC would be on "High Alert" for the next 12 hours so maybe they will go into Storm Alert tomorrow morning. :hmm: :thinking:
-
Basically this storm is going to make landfall on Monday or Chooseday. :P
-
When are they gonna show the new Hurrican Gustav opener?
-
What are you talking about? The Storm Alert opener? That'll happen when they go into Storm Alert.
-
in the first part it has a Picture of Hurricane Flags, then it says "GULF COAST PREPARES FOR GUSTAV" and "GULF COAST EVACUATES".
I think i found it. It comes at :57 past. Let me record it
-
There's also the one that was used as the opener for the final two hours of PME; that sounds a lot like what you were describing.
-
Adam just basically said that he and Kristin will be doing the full controlled EE show until Midnight ET tonight.
Is someone else going to step in for EEWC? Who would that be? Warren? Ryan? Rich? Sharon?
-
There's also the one that was used as the opener for the final two hours of PME; that sounds a lot like what you were describing.
I think it comes after the local forecast at :59

Article on Cantore's recent cross-network performance: http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/nbc/nbc_making_use_of_its_newest_acquisition_93099.asp
-
They just extended the last segment to :46 and 30 seconds in order to do a radar update for the entire nation and "tie this into a forecast region-by-region". Who knew there was other weather going on around the country until just now? :P
-
Dave Schwartz on EEWC! :thrilled:
-
Looks like they're going to go all night long, according to Kristin. Dave is back on EEWC, according to Adam!!! :dance: :dance:
-
Dave Schwartz is gonna host EEWC! OMG! Just like old times!
-
OMG! It's pre-2003ish all over again! :thrilled:
-
I wonder how things are going to play out tonight? Will EEWC go live for all four hours until Weekend Outlook starts? If so, will Dave host all four hours? Or will someone else step in at 2 AM ET?
-
I'm wondering the same thing as well since this segment obviously contained live segments. (radar and the mentioning of the current time)
Also, the production of this segment was quite raw compared to the modern EEWC production format. Did Dave drag the old production format back in with him for a total blast from the past? This segment seriously felt very 80s the way Dave ran through the segment while sitting at the desk and talking over full screen maps in an unscripted and "unslick" manner.
-
Dave has a refillable water bottle on the desk? :club:
-
Have the commercial periods been shortened or something? They're running the :10 and :40 segments for a full six and a half minutes and still running on schedule.
-
Indeed, another live hour of coverage here at Midnight CT.
-
Dave just mentioned that Adam Berg would be back at 2 AM ET.
-
He did? I missed that. Wow, that's a long night for Adam. Will he go until 4 AM ET, or will Dave perhaps step back in for the final hour of EEWC? I guess time will tell...
-
You can still see that red podium reflecting off of the pillar to the left of the desk on the HD feed; how eery.
(BTW, I'm back home for the weekend, so I'm watching and recording the entirety of the coverage in HD; the only downfall is that I have to change discs every four hours, and I want to be awake at 7 AM ET in anticipation of Storm Alert, so my sleep tonight will have to be very strategic. >_<
-
The Weekly Planner just now was played off a recording from last hour. Apparently the show is only semi-live with non-Gustav segments being replayed from last hour. :thinking:
-
Even the bottom of the hour is recorded. I guess Dave left after the top of the hour segment?
-
At the end of the last three local forecasts, I've heard fragments of other songs playing. Would those be bits of music recorded from last hour? And didn't this happen before (a few weeks ago, IIRC)?
-
Yes, that's exactly what you're hearing. My guess is that they're doing the playback a little less professionally than usual because of the unique setup tonight.
BTW, my friend, have you noticed that they've been using different lower thirds for the OCMs for the day two days or so; these L3s are more squared off on the right side, presumably to completely cover up the Gustav ticker so that there isn't a little corner of it sticking out when the L3s are on the screen.
-
Mark and Eboni have started Weekend Outlook early now at 3 AM CT. I'm still hoping for Storm Alert at 7 AM ET, but I hope I'll be up for it...
-
Did Eboni seriously just say "contraband flow" instead of "contraflow"? If so, I have less respect for her broadcasting skills than I thought.
-

Yes, she did.

Alright, weather.com's now got a Gustav banner. :yes: Let's hope we're going to start seeing things here. If TWC doesn't go into Storm Alert, something is wrong with them.
-
We've got Cheryl Lemke and Dave Schwartz hosting WWC today. I'm surprised they've got Dave hosting this afternoon after he was on EEWC last night. I wonder who's going to cover the overnight shift tonight?
-
Maybe Paul and Alex will do regular EE while Adam and Kristin do the overnight coverage; they've done a setup like that in the past...
-
It seems that TWC has pulled all the ads from the BlueBox video player for Gustav coverage.

The method they are recording is something called ISSAR, I dont remember what it stands for... Let me think on it... Basically they way they are recording it is the same way you record it at home (less the STAR). What's being recorded is the absolute last feed to leave the building.
-
Wow, TWC is really doing some weird things...
http://b.imagehost.org/0348/weathercom_HurricaneSteve_c.png
I'm a Hurricane now? WTF?
-
They just fixed it.
-
I guess they wanted to name a hurricane in Dr. Lyons' honor.
-
At the end of PME tonight, it was announced that Paul Goodloe, Alexandra Steele, and Jim Cantore (in the field) would be on at the top of the of the hour...
-
TWC is in Storm Alert now!

I saw Carl Arredondo on the 4WWL-TV stream.
Carl Arredondo, eh? Wow, talk about long time no see. I haven't seen him in eeons. He seemingly fell off the face of the earth after he left TWC! :D
-
According to Adam, this is "Evening Edition East...West Coast, rather." <_<
-
The desk now appears to be in the EEWC position, and even though Adam did a segment from the "side room" with the LCD screen, the background lights were off, as was the TWC logo on the wall. Apparently that's what that room normally looks like during EEWC?
The rest of the set still appears to be on full lighting mode as opposed to the darkened EEWC mode, though.
-
SR, you wouldn't happen to have any of the SA openings, or graphics in HD, would you? :worship:

I have the last 36 hours of coverage in HD; just tell me what you want, and I'll provide. :P
BTW, Adam just took a page out of Sharon's book and suggested that people in some of the affected areas shouldn't head out and about; rather, they should stay indoors and take a load off. :P
-
Well, the SA open, and a few of the SA graphics? I'd love you. :biggrin:

Now the tide has turned, and TWC is using an NBC live report right now. Apparently the relationship works both ways...

I'm foreseeing several TWC field reports on NBC's TODAY tomorrow. :thumbsup:

Yep, he's normally the producer for the big EE Weekend show, so I guess Paul and Alex had their usual Weekday EE producer with them while Adam and Kristin get to also have their own familiar producer on board for their coverage.

There's the start of the very first segment of Storm Alert in HD. I'll probably post some more stuff later on.
-
You know, it would be absolutely hilarious if they ended the show with Adam talking about how he's going to be sleeping in SUPER late tomorrow after staying up so late, followed by some nice video gaming. Oh yeah.
Of course, that would be entirely inappropriate, so I seriously doubt that's going to happen. :P
-
Interesting. YWT has been extended to the 10 AM ET hour.

Al Roker is currently appearing on TWC live from New Orleans, complete with a TWC microphone.
-
Bill Keneely and Kelly Cass now on Day Planner.
-
I guess Kevin and Kim have been sent a message about how important they are in the TWC chain of things.
-
I'm confused about this OCM lineup today and schedule today. YWT was on for an extra hour and Billy and Kelly are doing Day Planner.
-
I'm confused about this OCM lineup today and schedule today. YWT was on for an extra hour and Billy and Kelly are doing Day Planner.
They're probably doing that to have the DP OCMs do the rest of the hours of Day Planner, and Nick and Vivian do all hours of Weather Center.
I just had a thought - who's going to do A&B tonight? Both Mike and Stephanie are reporting out in the field... :whistling:
-

Ooo...that'll be interesting. I know Stephanie is out reporting, but I haven't seen her yet. :no:
-
I'm guessing they'll cancel it for tonight.

Steph was just on a few minutes ago. ;)
I'm think they'll maybe extend Betty and Sam an hour later and start Paul and Alex and hour earlier like they did yesterday to completely eat up the A&B timeslot. That makes the most sense to me.
-
That's exactly what I was thinking Steve.

I've got the LIVE DBS feed of TWC... No LDL! Woho! I will post YouTube Clips.
-
It sounds like Storm Alert may be starting to wrap up; apparently Dr. Lyons is going off the air, and Bill and Kelly are thanking the field OCMs and reporters for all their hard work. I guess we'll see if Storm Alert ends at the top of the hour.
Even if it does, we may very well be back in Storm Alert by the end of the week with Hanna strengthening out there.
-
This is so cool, just got TWC about 15 minutes ago... No LOT8's at :48... No Station ID at :57, and Storm Alert Music during the locals. Nice. :P
-
Nope, Storm Alert continues. :yes:
-
Bill and Kelly are still hosting the 1 PM CT hour.
-
With Bill and Kelly, too. I'm surprised they haven't gone to Vivian and Nick yet...
-
Bill and Kelly have put in an awfully long shift, haven't they? :blink:
-
Bill and Kelly have put in an awfully long shift, haven't they? :blink:
I really dont like Bill for some reason. :thumbdown:

It looks like everyone except the First Outlook shift was expected to put in four hours for this Storm Alert. (Cheryl did, however, put on four hours on Sunday though)
-
Bill and Kelly have put in an awfully long shift, haven't they? :blink:
Well, they normally work a 4-hour shift on weekends, so I imagine they're probably used to it. :yes:

Is Day Planner still on at 2PM, or is it Weather Center despite that Bill and Kelly are hosting?

Since it's Storm Alert, the show really doesn't have a "name", besides Storm Alert of course.
-
TWC is doing a great job covering the storm today.
-
Kevin Robinson and Kim Perez are hosting Weather Center today.
-
Nope, Kevin is on too.
-
Nope, Kevin is on too.
That's what he said... :unsure:
-
Interesting, they have the lights all around the left side of the studio back to light blue/white. The lights that line the LCD screens at the big desk are also the same color (they're normally dark blue during Weather Center), and the green screen is turned facing the desk so that it's in the two-person shot they used going to break.
I wonder why they use blue lights on that wall when at the little desk and for the First Outlook desk configuration; I guess maybe the red lights don't look good up close?
-
Nope, Kevin is on too.
That's what he said... :unsure:
Oops. Stephen edited his post. It used to say that Kim was solo.

TWC just played the Storm Alert: Hanna opener; I guess they can't wait! :P
-
Nick Walker and Vivian Brown are up next for PM Edition. Storm Alert will continue, from what Kevin mentioned.
-
Hmm...this is still considered a Storm Alert edition of Weather Center; does PME start at 7 PM ET?
-
Viv's mic was under her shirt when the segment started, you could barley hear her.
-
barley? Is that when you take a Harley to a biker bar?
-
They're back on the pre-landfall commercial schedule now; I wonder if the Storm Alert LF music will also be gone; I hope not.
-
Hmm...this is still considered a Storm Alert edition of Weather Center; does PME start at 7 PM ET?
Logically. It'll cover up Mike and Stephanie: In The Forecast.
Wouldn't surprise me if SA ends with Sam and Betty at 7.
-
Lifestyles is back; Storm Alert is really starting to wind down now...
-
Storm Alert music still going on a 1-minute LF right now. I wonder if they meant to use the music the minute Storm Alert started last night but made a mistake that wasn't caught until the morning crew came in.

I wonder if it's finally over given the way they ended that last hour...
-
Storm Alert = still active, apparently.
Oh, and no Betty/Sam tonight (and a VERY long run for Alex/Paul.)
-
Wow, Paul and Alex this early? Will Rich and Sharon start early as well? I guess time will tell.
Heading back to college now; see you there!
-
Carl Parker and Paul Goodloe are doing the 7 PM CT hour...
-
Now Alexandra Steele is back for the 9 PM ET hour.
-
Carl Parker and Alex on 10 pm et now. Man, they're really working the pregnant lady tonight!
-
What happened to Betty and Sam? :blink: Paul and Alex have really been busy during Storm Alert. Seriously, what is the deal with the weird lineup today?
-
Paul and Alex are back for the 11 PM EDT hour.
Alexandra: We are still in Storm Alert Mode.
-
Gustav has been downgraded, but Storm Alert continues. :yes: I wonder if we'll see SA for Hanna later in the week. :unsure:
-
I think Alex is plenty tired of it by now since it's so unnecessary at this point. My guess is that it's over after this hour, though.
-

I agree. My guess that it will be over by midnight eastern. I wonder if Rich and Sharon will go live all night for EEWC?
-
I'd have to wonder that as well since TWC obviously wants to be on top of this storm. I'm surprised they were so slow to cover it initially, yet now they've gone all out on it after it made landfall. Is the TWC Tropical hype machine from 2005/2006 back again?
-
Still in Storm Alert for EEWC.
-
This is getting silly now; there's no reason to be in Storm Alert this long. Katrina's Storm Alert even ended by like 7 PM CT on the day it made landfall.
-
I'm taking TWCT out of Storm Alert. Its been long enough! :biggrin:
Though it might be right back in SA by the end of the week, if Hanna has her way. :yes:
-
Viv looks like a giant teletubbie this afternoon... ugh.
-
Carl Parker and Paul Goodloe are hosting A&B tonight.
-
...and because of that we get the Weekly Planner starting with the Jet Stream. :P
Now he just accidentally passed up Wednesday, so he ran over to the computer and restarted the Viz presentation.
-
Alexandra Steele has stepped in at the 7 PM CT hour of A&B.

I noticed that as well; it was quite noticeable. :P
-
Again as usual on Weather Center, they used bumper music for the openers most of the hours instead of the actual opener music, but the one neat benefit is that since they had a really long teaser, they played about 55 seconds of the "hard" theme music straight. (everything except the opener had voiceover, but it still gives us an idea of how the theme sounds as a whole.)
BTW, when I say "hard", there are two main bumper tracks that are used for WC; one is the normal one that's associated with the opener; then there's this "hard" one that uses most of the same notes but with a more intense feel to it. Video to come shortly.

Here we go.
I noticed this when I saw it live, but why did they use Google Earth for the satellite loop there?
-
I think they used it to put the name labels on there; plus it looks kinda neat, I suppose.
-
They're using the morning horizontal stripes on the walls again for EE. What happened to the normal dark blue ones? :(
(I seriously hope they're not breaking structure already after Gustav the same way YWT suddenly lost its production structure after Dean last year.)
-

What do you mean by "production structure"? :unsure:
I wouldn't understand why TWC would let hurricane coverage mess normal things up.
-
Well, a few lighting changes are what I'm referring to here, but YWT suffered greatly after Dean last year when the whole show pretty much lost its structure until the HD relaunch. During that time period, the show stopped using pretty much all of its openers, stopped doing the region-by-region look at :00 and :30, and dropped the Travel segment at :10 in favor of fluff. (Travel Destinations)
Basically what happened is that the structure was temporarily taken away for Dean coverage, but they decided to never restore structure after Dean went away.
-
What kind of Storm Alert theme music is this? :wacko:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGOuu53ELQY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGOuu53ELQY) (Video Courtesy: TheFritter04)
[NOTE: Music starts at 7:30]
-
They used that music on and off throughout Storm Alert even though it's not the main Storm Alert theme. I don't really know anything else about it.
-
I just saw a Forecast Earth segment with Dr. Lyons in the old studio, and the Day Planner/Weather Center backdrop is still up. Looks like they haven't touched the backdrops since the last day of SD broadcasting.
-
Sharon's wearing green tonight, isn't she? That's something you wouldn't see in the key wall days...
-
Woah, why am I seeing Adam Berg on EEWC right now?? :blink:
Edit: I guess they're pulling live coverage all night and didn't want to overwork Rich and Sharon?
Edit 2: Looks like Adam was just in for the 1 AM ET segment to give an update. Back to pre-recorded "yeah let's do that" at 1:10.
-
Alexandra Steele and Paul Goodloe are in live the the 11 PM ET hour. Looks like we'll see live coverage all night again.
-
Adam Berg and Sharon Resultan are up next...!
-
Adam Berg and Sharon Resultan are up next...!
Yeah, let's dive into that.
-

-
Rich is joining Adam at the top of the hour!
-
They just used a shot I've never seen before on EEWC; they had a camera from directly in front of the desk zoomed WAY out so that you could see the starry area with the three LCD screens on the columns off to the right. The LCD screens were displaying the sideways image of the Tropical Storm Hannah logo.
-
Interestingly enough, Jeff Morrow and Jen Carfagno hosted Weekend Outlook this morning. Also, this morning on WO was (AFAIK) the first time they used a teaser before the opener ever since the switch to all master control in 2006. :yes:
-
Just now when going to break, they played the music from the 2002-2003 Notify promo!
-
WTF? ICHT is on right now! What is TWC thinking??!
-
WTF THEY're showing ICHT instead of the Hanna coverage! :angry:
-
Damn you boring long form programming! :angry: :club:
-
Wow, I guess they're not hyping it nearly as much as they seemed to be. I guess they figure Hannah isn't much of a ratings interest at this point. :ermm:
-
At least we're not seeing our favorite FFN episode...
-
I actually wasn't surprised to see ICHT. Hannah isn't as strong anymore, so why preempt programming.
Ike will be interesting to watch now.
-
Looks like the normal LF schedule is back. A 2 minute flavor was shown at :08.
-
yay regular :08 and :38 locals are back!
-
TWC just mentioned Bucks County, where I live in. :D
-
They were talking about Richmond earlier because of Hanna, too. :ermm:
-
They just had Dr. Forbes at the telestrator seat of the big desk while in the WWC configuration; that's something they've never done before.
On another note, Since Dave and Eboni are on right now, they must be preparing for preemption later tonight with Carl and Kristina.
-
Dave and Eboni say that they're coming back at the top of the hour...
-
Anyone's LDL not showing up right now?
-
One minute flavors are back at :08, :18, :38, and :48.
-
WWCH is now playing at 11 PM ET.
-
So, Kristin is wearing key wall green tonight. They'd be screwed if the projector wall were to fail... :P
-
Now that the worst of Hanna is pretty much done with, the radar inset and Hanna graphic is gone, and the normal LF schedule is back.
-
Technically speaking, they didn't go into Hyperventilation Mode for Hanna. They just had the radar insets and he bright flashy lower-thirds.
-
Now the Hurricane Ike radar inset and graphics are here, along with the Ike LOT8's opener.
-

I'm almost certain I've seen that before... Not sure when though.

Should we start the Ike Hype thread?

I will start it, depending on what it does over Cuba. If severe weaking = hype. If nothing really and stays a hurricane = OMFG STORM ALERT.

Nick Walker and Vivian Brown are on Weekend Weather Center today.

I'm soooo sick of hearing you and TWC hyping!
-
That was directed to me, I suppose?
-
That was directed to me, I suppose?
:doh: :thumbsup:
-
Ike is a what, a cat 3 hurricane now? Yeah - TWC is going to be covering it! TWC = The Weather Channel... Ike = Weather... Catch the point? It's their job to be covering this stuff, it's all they do, so when theres a cat 3 hurricane roaming the sea headed for the broadcast area, then yes, again, they will be covering it.
If it was CNN, and they were covering it 24/7 then yes, that would be called over hyping as CNN should be covering other things like news, where as TWC, is nothing but weather.
Come back and say that TWC spends all their time watching the tropics? As both Fay and Gustav were hitting the south, there were storms hitting the N/NE, and TWC was checking in with those storms and giving updates as nessisary as well as the tropics information.
-
Well said, Kyle.
-
Looks like Carl Parker will be going Beyond The Forecast tonight, filling in for Mike Bettes.
-
Hmm, is it me or are they airing TWC promos after the local ad insets instead of before now?
-
They just played the Northeast opener on Weather Center. Pretty sweet.
-
Right now, on the inset satellite for Ike, they're showing a titlebar on the satellite picture. Don't think that's supposed to be there; you can hardly even read it. :doh2:
-
They just played the Northeast opener on Weather Center. Pretty sweet.
Really, on master controlled WC? Never seen them do that before. Did you get a clip or screenshot of this?
-
No, I didn't. :(
Master Controlled WC is pretty much the same as Full Controlled WC nowadays.
-
Storm Alert #2 of the season!
-
Looks like Carl Parker is back in studio taking care of business. :biggrin:
-
Yes, yes. :yes:
-
Heres the First Storm Alert open for Ike:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR4aGHqB1x0
(Its Different than any open yet)
-
The end of it was poorly edited; they need to fix that...
-
Sharon Resultan and Adam Berg are up next.
Yeah, let's dive right in and do that, gang!
edit: If they're going to go live all night, I wonder who will step in at 2 AM ET and do updates from there on?
-

Should be Rich, just like during Hanna. Adam might stick around for that as well just as it was for Hanna.
-
It seems as of yesterday afternoon (at least), the TWC logo that appeared for 10 seconds at the start of segments (after the LF and commercials) is now appearing for the entire segment, and is also appearing on the timeslots that (for whatever reason) it never appeared before (such the 5 PM CT hour of PME, A&B, and EEWC). For those with the LDL blocking the logo on the regular feed, you can notice this when they go to break, when they take the LDL off a couple of seconds before break, you'll see the logo inserted on the feed.
-
Wow, that's odd. So people who get the 4000 or Junior would end up having the LDL's text (which rarely shows to this day) partially overlaying the logo.
-
Yay! The dark blue pillar lines are back! :happy:
-
Except for the left side behind the map wall; those are still light blue, making the set unmatching. That's not good.
PME is also using the dark blue horizontal lights, and WWC is using the orange/yellow morning desk colors. They really need to get these set colors fixed back to normal again.
On the positive side, Adam and Kristin are about to answer some more questions from the gang just like they did last night, so stay tuned! :P
-
Ah, it's going to be the same question from earlier. Lame. :(
-
We can see the TWC|HD logo on the EEWC rebroadcast because it's inserted above the level where its recorded. They need to do something about that, preferably just drop the logo if nothing else.
-

That's called "Agile" off air, and the key is placed "downstream" of the studio, and "upstream" of the recording; hence why it's being recorded.
-
Apparently Day Planner is now using a pre-recorded teaser.
-
@Kyle: Yes, that's what I was trying to say.
@Stephen: They've been doing that for a while now, but only for the first hour.
Also, the podium is still red; somebody should change that back.
-
Hmm, Vivian and Nick are doing the 2 PM CT hour of Weather Center today. Do they now host all 4 hours, or what? :unsure:
-
Probably from 1-4PM. Makes more sense to me than having the PME crew do the 3PM hour then have the WC crew work again at 4PM. I doubt they will do all four hours.
-
Yep, Betty and Sam are now doing the 3 PM CT hour of Weather Center. If the WC package wasn't better than the PME package, I'd suggest making PME start at 3 PM CT, but since that isn't the case, I'd rather it stay as Weather Center.
EDIT: Wait, they're hosting it from the PME desk? What gives?
-
That's odd. Maybe PME will be starting at 4PM when the new WWCH season premieres? :unsure:
-
That's odd. Maybe PME will be starting at 4PM when the new WWCH season premieres? :unsure:
So...
1-4P - Weather Center
4-6P - PM Edition
6-8P - Abrams and Bettes
8-9P - When Weather Changed History
-
We don't know for sure yet if WWCH will be returning to the weekday schedule yet, since right now they are just saying the season will premiere sometime in October. It is likely, though.
-
Saw a new top-of-the-hour bumper at 5 PM ET. It was a beach with big waves rolling in and blowing palm trees.

Sounds like something that should've been introduced at the beginning of summer, not days from the first day of fall. :thinking:
-
I think it's supposed to be hurricane-themed; IIRC, the skies are kinda dark.
BTW, the PME lighting scheme still has the light blue horizontal bars on the left side of the studio while the rest of the studio is using the dark blue EE colors. I hate how much Storm Alert has f'ed up the studio's colors. :(
-
Is TWC intentionally doing this, or are they just having problems with setting the lighting cues?
-
My guess is that they're programmed into schemes somewhere, and after Storm Alert, someone set all of the schemes wrong. I wish someone would step in there and get things right; we shouldn't have EE colors during WC and PME, and the desk shouldn't be yellow during Weekend Weather Center. The only show that actually benefited from this was Weekend Outlook, which is now actually using the CORRECT colors; they were using mostly EE colors before these last two Storm Alerts.
-
By the end of PME, they changed the color of the remaining horizontal bars to morning blue, which is better, but they're supposed to be white! >_<
-
IMO, light blue is better for PME, since it is more of an evening show (when the skies darken), not a daytime show. Day Planner on the other hand should be white, not light blue. Same with Weekend Now.
-
Okay, now the left wall is white, the right wall is light blue, and the wall connecting the left wall to the projector wall is dark blue. It looks like crap.
-

Yeah, that's what it would seem...and there is a new LOT8s opener to accompany the bumper.
-

Well, at least it looks like they're trying to fix it, rather than just leaving the way things are like what they did last year with YWT.
-
Stephanie Abrams is wearing a matching outfit today. I don't think I've ever seen her wearing matching clothes :o
-
Carl and Adam on EE tonight?!? :huh:
-
Carl and Adam on EE tonight?!? :huh:
Yeah, that's quite odd. I guess Adam wasn't spending his Monday sleeping in, eh, gang? :P
edit: I guess they gave Paul and Alex off tonight because they had to work overtime this past weekend...?
-
Freakin' awesome! Finally the gang leader gets his shot at weekday EE after all these years. You know, I actually considered this situation over the weekend. :whistling:
-

This is his first time hosting primetime weekday EE? :o I thought he'd hosted it before.
-
I can't recall a time where Adam was ever given a chance to host the show. They've even gone so far as to call in Carl Parker on Thursday and Friday rather than have Adam host.
-
We now when WWCH's new season's premiere - October 5 @ 9 PM ET.
-
Woah, my IntelliStar just froze at the regional map, then the satelitte forecast came and it was very jumpy. :o
-
Just now, Carl said: "Rich Johnson is up next with Evening Edition West Coast." :happy:
-
The Skeleton crew continues...Rich is doing EEWC solo tonight while Sharon takes a load off from the long weekend. Carl even called it "West Coast," BTW. :)
-
And now on "Evening Edition West Coast", they're doing the First Forecast? What is this, 2001?
-
I wonder if Rich is also going to take a load off this week; Friday would probably be more convenient for both him and TWC since it would give him a long weekend, and they'll have Gang there to fill-in for him.
-
No they're using the flat Weekly Planner maps, which I haven't seen in almost a month. Rich is sure fired up about the calmness in the weather pattern, though.
-
Kim Perez is filling in on First Outlook again this morning.

Kim Perez is filling in on First Outlook again this morning.
For who? Jeff or Jen?
-
Is this a new banner? I've never seen this before.
-

For Jeff.
Anyway, that "banner" looks like just a general label background designed to make the text more readable.
-
I just caught the end of PME, and the wall lights are white again! :biggrin:
-
I just caught the end of PME, and the wall lights are white again! :biggrin:
Yep, they were white on WC too (at least the portion near the map background).
Let's see what happens on Evening Edition.
-
Paul is back tonight; his voice still sounds a little crackly, though.
-
Carl is still co-anchoring, though.
And the lights are dark blue! It looks like they finally fixed all of the color schemes. :happy:
-
Paul's voice does sound very raspy.
-
Guess he still hasn't quite recovered from that long shift he pulled over the weekend. :D
-
IMO, TWC was a little rude to Paul making him work so long. <_< Maybe I'm overreacting. :unsure: But it's been three days since he's worked and his voice still hasn't recovered. :no: :dunno:
-
It's possible he volunteered to work that time. It is big overtime bucks!
-
I don't think they get paid OT, since I assume they are salary. But, I could be wrong, or they could get a raise or whatever.
But, we don't know if Paul just had a cold after his coverage, or if it could be him talking too much. :dunno:
-
I guess somebody bothered to make a "Local on the 8s COMING UP NEXT" graphic with the Lot8s logo and EE background; they used it on the LCD screen behind Paul going to the last break.
-
Looks like we'll see another night of Rich working alone... :itsok:
-
I guess Rich will be "doing that" alone again tonight on "Evening Edition West Coast"...
-
Man, that's a bummer. :D
-
Kelly Cass is on First Outlook this morning! (in for Jen)
-
I just watched the first hour of today's FO from my recording; at :20, Kelly said something you don't hear very often:
"It's 20 past the hour now; we'll take a look at the precip in just a little bit with Jeff, but first the jet stream."
Then when she was done with the jet stream outlook, she tossed to Jeff, and he said something that you do hear very often:
"All right, let's do that!"
-
Kelly Cass is on First Outlook this morning! (in for Jen)
Wow, I don't remember the last time I've seen her on FO! Had to be at least 2003.
-
Just saw a new promo run for Weekend View. I bet we'll start seeing LOT8s ads for it, too.
-

I've been wondering why they never aired promos for it in the first place. It's the second most popular show, making it more popular than Evening Edition (which they have promos for already).
-
So it seems like Alexandra is still absent from Evening Edition. I wonder if she is on maternity leave already?
-
So it seems like Alexandra is still absent from Evening Edition. I wonder if she is on maternity leave already?
That's what I was thinking.

I with you guys. That seems like a very real possibility.
-
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too.
-
I think it's time I email Dr. Phil and see what he thinks. :sing: :rofl:
-
You're funny :rofl2:
-
Let's wait until next week or until they say something; It could just be a coincidental vacation.
-
Yeah, you're right. It could be.

ROFL. :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:

Rich Johnson and Kristin Dodd on EEWC tonight. :blink:
-
Wow, what happened to Sharon? She hasn't "done that" this week. :blink:
-
Wow, what happened to Sharon? She hasn't "done that" this week. :blink:
Apparently she is taking a load off... :P

Yeah, apparently
It seems like a lot of people were in a switcharoo this week

Apparently so. :D
-
Kelly continues being an OCM of many hats today as she served as Travel Analyst on YWT this morning while Nicole Mitchell anchored. This is quite odd considering that normally they have Kelly anchoring while Nicole remains as Travel Analyst. Could this be a sign that Nicole might be Marshall's replacement?
-

It very well could be a sign of that. IMO though, they ought to replace Marshall with another male.
-
Any update on the thought pregnancy on Abrams?
Or was someone overreacting about the little image?
-
There's no current belief except by maybe one or two people that Steph is pregnant. More people believe that Jen Carfagno is pregnant, but even that is starting to seem questionable.
-
Mike Bettes is solo tonight; I guess Steph is taking her post-Storm Alert load off.
-
Mike Bettes is solo tonight; I guess Steph is taking her post-Storm Alert load off.
He was solo last night too.
-
He surely was
-
I didn't watch last night, but I assumed so. :P
-
Alex is going to be on EE tonight.
-
Alex is going to be on EE tonight.
How the heck would we know? Chances are she won't be on.
-
I went to weather.com and clicked on that Forecast segment, and there she was.

I went to weather.com and clicked on that Forecast segment, and there she was.
Well, then I guess she'll pull a Rich Johnson and come back just for a Friday night.
-
Yeah, well at leat I get to see her before the weekend comes
-
Kristin Dodd is tonight's weather.com OCM, so tonight it's either gang time, "sounds like a plan" time, or just Rich all alone in his brown sport coat and black pants. :P
-

I was laughing at what you said by "it's either gang time" and "sounds like a plan" time :rofl2:
-
That's not something you see everyday: they actually came back right after the recorded teaser at :06 to tell us about a tornado warning that was just issued before going to break.
-

They did something similar to that other night, too (it might have been Tuesday or Wednesday).
-
Sharon and Adam? Bloody hell?
-
I just saw a graphic on the LCD display with a WeatherREADY logo on top of the EE background. Never seen that before.
-
On the Road Crew sponsor graphic, they just call it "Road Crew" now instead of TWC Road Crew. The sponsor didn't even change so I wonder why they renamed it "road crew"
-
Dave and Alex Wallace on WC right now.
-
Woah, that's weird. O_o
I see they're also using the standardized teaser graphics...
-
Just saw the new WC teaser graphics. I love them! :clap:
-
Did Dave just forget/have trouble with Alex's name? I feel bad for Dave... :(
-
Sharon and Adam? Bloody hell?
That's right. Adam called Sharon Krtistin on occasion.
I never saw Alex Wallace on TV. Missed my chance today. I hope to see his tomorrow.
-
I see the recorded teaser transition failed for the second EEAD in a row. They were doing so well with this back in August!
-
All of a sudden the playback of EEAD has become really jagged in terms of motion; I remember they'd always have this problem during 2005-2006, but it had long since been fixed. I wonder why it's back...
-
Also on the EEAD rebroadcast, the TWC HD logo from the HD feed is showing up behind the logo on the SD feed. Apparently the HD feed is rebroadcast to both HD and SD.
-

I could've sworn we've discussed this here before...
Anyway, this is really weird; right now, WWCH (Challenger episode) is being broadcast as scheduled on the Zap2It guide, but it was preceded by a modern Cable in the Classroom bumper that was letterboxed with HD pillar bars. Is this some sort of special half-hour edition of the series that counts as a Cable in the Classroom presentation? There's also no LDL, just a TWC logo in the corner.
-
I could've sworn we've discussed this here before...
We probably have; I was half asleep when I posted that. :P
-
On another note, the video stuttering I reported during EEAD wasn't just during the rebroadcast like I thought; I stayed up for Weekend Outlook and Weekend View, and it was happening during those live programs as well. Apparently it's a bigger issue...
-
Finally; all of the show color schemes have been perfected; after doing WWC with the full-on EE colors yesterday, today they're using the light blue pillars and white horizontal bars. Good job lighting crew!
-
I see that Mike Seidel did the weather.com forecasts this afternoon so I take it he wasn't out in the field for the NFL Kickoff forecast this morning. I'm wondering if someone else did this morning or did TWC decide to scrap that segment?
-
Is Weekend Outlook back to using the dark blue pillars?
-
Nope, they're also using the proper full-morning colors. Indeed, every show is now using the proper colors. *knocks on wood*
-
For the first time, EEAD tonight started with the "storyboard" at the projector wall much like regular weekend EE. Normally EEAD starts with either a simple teaser involving video or with a recorded teaser - never at the projector wall.
They're starting to already get back into "serious business" mode because OMG there's a tropical wave in the Caribbean!
-
I just saw Nick Walker walk through the background while Cheryl and Kevin were standing by one of the big LCD screens while going to break.
-
Nick: "We are in tropical watch again."
-
Nick: "We are in tropical watch again."
Tropical watch? Is that a new segment at :50 when they can't decide whether it's tropical season or not? :P
-
WTF @ tonight's EE? They just started with a live opener with the bumper music, no teaser, then Alexandra says, "I'm Alexandra Steele, let's DIVE right into tonight's top stories."
-
WTF @ tonight's EE? They just started with a live opener with the bumper music, no teaser, then Alexandra says, "I'm Alexandra Steele, let's DIVE right into tonight's top stories."

The baby told her to. (LAME JOKE)
Speaking of Alexandra.. she's do in about a month, correct?
-
At 11:44 AM ET before the lifestyles segment, they used a different Day Planner bump-out that I haven't seen before.
-

Yeah, she is
-
Right now for the 4 PM ET hour, we've got PM Edition with Weather Center branding. Even Betty and Samantha are calling it "PM Edition."
-
Interesting. Right now my CBS affiliate, WJZ is airing a report from Mike Seidel. :yes:
-
Did the long-form still air this afternoon? I didn't catch it.
-
Did the long-form still air this afternoon? I didn't catch it.
Nope.
-
Holy crap hop on the hype train.
This "subtropical disturbance" is enough to warrant Sidel and Cantore in the field!?
-
It surely is
-
A live opener on EE because of the storm. Oh yay... >_>
Carl is also filling in for Alexandra tonight...
-
Yeah, and I'm not watching it
-
I doubt they will be going on the route they do to hype actual tropical cyclones. It would be a low point if they pushed the red button for this subtropical disturbance. Ever since 6/11/06, I figured out it may be a possibility.
-
Paul Goodloe and Mike Bettes on EE tonight. Looks like they've decided to let Carl Parker take a load off tonight.
-
Stephanie Abrams is in for Alexandra Steele tonight.
-
So, Adam is doing EE solo tonight while Kristin is off. I never thought I'd ever see EE Weekend be done solo!
-
As of 6 AM CT, the RED BAR OF DOOM is active for Hurricane Kyle. :devil:
-
The Kickoff Forecast is back. They just showed a new Kickoff Forecast graphic with "It's Back... NFL Forecast" at the bottom before going to break.
-
So, Adam is doing EE solo tonight while Kristin is off. I never thought I'd ever see EE Weekend be done solo!
Me too!
-
Wow, they're doing Forecast Earth, yet they've bothered to keep Dr. Lyons around all day... I'm confused. O_o
-
Kristin Dodd is back tonight on EE.
-
So according to Adam Berg, they'll "be going all the way to midnight." I wonder if Adam and Kristin will cover EEWC, or they'll have someone else cover it tonight?
-
I'm surprised Adam isn't telling us what he'll be doing on Chooseday. :P
-
Hurricane time. Serious Business.
I'd almost speculate that either they'll bring in another team for EEWC or let either Adam or Kristin (probably Adam, since he worked last night) take a load off. I guess we'll see soon enough.
-
Whoda thunk that a hurricane traveling into 50 degree waters would be such an earth-shattering deal? :rofl2: :P :rolleyes:
-
So, hour three of EE is live now.
Could we possibly see a special edition of the "Yeah, let's do that" show tonight?
-
Rich and Carl are on EEWC tonight. I seriously never thought I'd see this pairing...especially on a Sunday night. O_o
-
Kevin Robinson is in for Marshall Seese on YWT today... :huh:
-

WTF?

Oh my god.... Gary and Jae should know what this means!

K-Rob is gonna replace Marshall?
-
No...
Long story short... Jae posted that video of Kevin sleeping at the desk... A user sent Jae a message asking for him to remove it, the user claiming to be Kevin Robinson. I got in touch with the user, and asked him to contact me via TWC's Lotus Notes or via TWC's email (OWA) ... He said he didnt know how to use Lotus (Which made him seem fake) but he said that he'd be filling in for Marshall on the Friday show and to watch for him, as that type of announcement isnt made public and only he / the producers would know.
Well, there he is on screen...
However, I did ask him to identify some things around the building though, things that are unique to TWC and can be easily spotted. He hasnt responded to that yet.
-
Woah

No...

I was actually eager to see if he'd send you an e-mail from his TWC account.

Stephanie is in for Alexandra tonight :(
-
I have a feeling Alexandra is now on maternity leave...
-
I have a feeling Alexandra is now on maternity leave...
Me too.
-
I'm <> close to punching Paul...we DO NOT mention lake-effect snow yet, even if it's a comparison for lake-effect rain!
-
Yeah, I was thinking that :(
-
I like Alexandra. I used to hate her for her mile long jewelry, now i've grown onto her. :)
-
I'm not going to be watching EE for a good while
-
I've noticed Alex hasn't worn her long necklaces as much since she became pregnant.
-
Another hour with Paul and Steph?
Will the "Yeah, Let's do that" show only run for an hour now? :(
-
Yep, only one hour of "doing that", which is repeated two more hours in a row, just like the old OO format. This really sucks for seeing Rich and Sharon "do so" every night. I hope this doesn't start to break up their show now that they're only together for one hour and at such a late time. This doesn't sound like a plan at all to me.
-
Mike Seidel and Cheryl Lemke on Day Planner today. Was Kevin on YWT again today?
-
Was Kevin on YWT again today?
Yes.
-
I wonder if Alex is on maternity leave? Hmm. You'd think they'd mention something, unless something went wrong (which I certainly hope didn't).
Yeah, still am not a fan of Alexandra Steele. Never have, and who knows if I ever will..haha.
-
The Station ID has been without audio for at least the past two hours. I wonder what's up with that...
-
Steph and Carl tonight on EE? WTF? O_o
-
Wow, Dave is actually showing the forecast low temperatures during the Weekly Planner!
-
Bill Keneely was on Your Weather Today.
-
Wait, Viv and Nick are doing Day Planner from the big desk using the same set configuration and lighting as regular Day Planner? O_o
-
This is going to be a crazy month right here. :yes:

Are the Weekly Planner low temperature maps becoming a normal fixture? They're using them now on EE.

So I assume Bill Keneely was on YWT again today because Dave Schwartz and Kelly Cass are on Day Planner?

Sorry to say this you guys, but I haven't been watching TWC lately. Anyways, I was woundering, do they still use the cromo-key backbrop?
-
No sir. They use LCD screens now. If there's still a chroma key wall in the studio I haven't seen it.
-
No sir. They use LCD screens now. If there's still a chroma key wall in the studio I haven't seen it.
They've used the key wall in the HD studio maybe 10 days, max. The entire first week during EEWC, and a few isolated cases during the first week PM Edition went HD.
-
No sir. They use LCD screens now. If there's still a chroma key wall in the studio I haven't seen it.
They have two chroma key walls in there that rotate so that they're not seen on camera much. Their quality isn't that great, though.
-
Probably why they aren't used much, and not at all since the first week.
-
LOL, at the start of this last hour of Evening Edition, Steph was like, "We're falling tonight on EE, we've got lots of falling temperatures, you see. Paul and I aren't literally falling. So Paul, what's going on with the temps?" Paul laughed and was like, "Well...I actually did literally fall here once; I didn't actually hit the ground, but I came pretty close. It's dangerous times here in high definition at The Weather Channel."
I was hoping Paul was gonna bring that up when Steph said that; what a perfect opportunity. :P
-
Stephanie said to Paul before the 11:46pm ET break"leave my Cubbies alone" :P
-
Dave and Kim on Weekend Now today.
-
They started the Weekly Planner with the green screen, then switched to the LCD Wall.
-
They started the Weekly Planner with the green screen, then switched to the LCD Wall.
They do that sometimes when the OCM hasn't appeared on front of the camera yet. I could immediately tell because I heard Kim's footsteps after the Weekly Planner opener.
-
They started the Weekly Planner with the green screen, then switched to the LCD Wall.
That wasn't the green screen, they were just broadcasting that map directly on screen before they switched to the video wall. ;)

Dave just said he had a playbook when it really was an atlas. :P :rofl2:
-
Carl and Kristina hosted Weekend Weather Center today, and now the Adam and Kristin gang is on PM Edition.
-
This makes no sense... could this mean that Adam and Kristin won't be hosting EE? But if not, then who would?
I certainly am thinking that them hosting EEWC is out of the question at this point. One of them might do it solo on alternating nights, or maybe even Cheryl Lemke will return to the slot.

Supposedly there's also a live 10 PM CT hour of EE plus EEWC at Midnight CT just like the weekday schedule. That would be a big load for Adam and Kristin. I don't see why they wouldn't just start them at 7 PM CT for EE and have them go from there...

EE at 7 PM CT with Carl and Kristina, but their using the PME set. :huh:

Wow. :blink: I thought EE only aired on weekends.
-
No, it airs during the week too. ;)

Oh,I didn't know that.

Yeah, I knew that.

Why was EE on at 8PM ET? :dunno: I thought PM Edition Weekend was supposed to be on at that time, and Carl even called it PM Edition. :blink: Does this have something to do with the new WWCH? :unsure:
-
Evening Edition airs at 8PM weekdays because of WWCH, though according to the schedule PM Edition is still supposed to air at 8PM during the weekend.
-
Why was EE on at 8PM ET? :dunno: I thought PM Edition Weekend was supposed to be on at that time, and Carl even called it PM Edition. :blink: Does this have something to do with the new WWCH? :unsure:
Yes, they want EE to air at the same time on weekdays and weekends, and with this WWCH-related schedule change, they decided to start EE at 7 PM CT on all days of the week.
According to the Zap2It guide, which tends to be most accurate for TWC, yes, EE is scheduled for 7 PM CT.
-
IMO, they need to have WWCH air at 8PM and 11PM so Evening Edition can air at a timeslot that makes more sense, 9-11PM ET, and also so Rich and Sharon can work two hours instead of just one.
-
Ahhh, Mark just spoke those vile words: "Forecast Earth Desk".
Respect points are going down... :P (Yeah, he's just doing his job... :()

Kristin Dodd and Dave Schwartz on Day Planner today.

According to the Weather Channel schedule, they should not have two hours of special programming in a row on Friday Afternoons. :club: What the heck are they thinking? Do they think no one watches in the afternoon? :faint:
-

They air them every afternoon. I'm used to it now, but I wish they'd have Weather Center air from 12-2PM instead of Day Planner. One hour of WC isn't enough.

No one made mention to this? :o
Your Weather Today played alternate Teaser music this morning. ;)

Hey, it was early in the morning; I forgot about it by the time I woke up. Yeah, they used a different theme for the opener, and it didn't fit well at all. :(
Now if you don't mind, for the second weekend in a row, I'm afraid of being eaten right about now, so I think I'll go seek shelter. <_<

Mike Seidel and Samantha Mohr on PM Edition tonight.
According to the control room it's "MIKE BETTES" hosting PM Edition tonight...
-
uhhhhhh...... both Mike and Steph are doing Evening Edition at 8?

Anotherone I caught (and remembered) that no on didn't even mention?
This morning, Jen was touring the SE, and the lower 3rd said Jeff Morrow. :P :rofl2:
(last half hour). ;)
-
uhhhhhh...... both Mike and Steph are doing Evening Edition at 8?
They're doing the 8pm Evening Edition hour from the "work desk" (same that's used for First Outlook, A&B, etc) :blink:
-
This is weird as heck; now they're doing regular EE with Paul and Carl. They opened the show with the "live" style opener followed by a standardized teaser after Paul and Carl introduced themselves at the desk. Obviously TWC is experimenting with a few things here, but it appears we now have two hours of A&B again, albeit with the second hour being branded as EE. <_<
-
uhhhhhh...... both Mike and Steph are doing Evening Edition at 8?
I saw that,and I thought,"Another hour of Abrams and Bettes? :D"

Don't forget about Jorma, too. :biggrin:

Jorma Duran used to only cover the Midwest a few years ago. If the fires aren't quickly contained, I wouldn't be surprised to see him or someone else out there.
-
ugh, they've added the lower bar for Hurricane Omar... I hate that bar sfmuch...
-
Does Omar have any threat to the US? I think they should cover Omar, but not to this level, unless a huge number of Puerto Ricans can get TWC.

Monday. Apparently they're trying this out to see how it goes. I still don't understand the point of the Evening Edition branding at 8 PM ET.
-
So, it's Thursday, and Adam Berg is doing EE with Paul tonight, gang. I wonder if it'll be this way until Alexandra comes back or if Paul and Jim will do the show along once Jim gets back.

I'm sorry. Tuner was down. :(
But then again, it's a treat to me if I get to see PM Edition. (which means I haven't watched it in a while). :biggrin:
-
They had alternate music playing over the Weekend Now Intro.
-
Looks like we have new graphics for the Health lifestyles segment. The lower thirds are now smaller and look similar to the 2003-2005 lower thirds. The graphics that show the safety tips use an orange and blue gradient. The opener was also modified and uses Evening Edition's graphics. I wonder if there are other versions too for the other shows (that have the lifestyles segment).
-
They had alternate music playing over the Weekend Now Intro.
No, that was by accident. For some reason on Weekend Now (and I've noticed this on PM Edition lately as well) they don't play the opener music very often, and instead, just continue the music they used for the teaser over the opener.
-
Wow, I just saw a Notify commercial for the first time in years! It was the 2005 version, but with the current logo.

They've also been doing this a lot on First Outlook lately (including Mon-Wed this week) and over half the time on Weekend View. It's pretty sloppy doing things this way, IMO.

I actually like how they play the bumper music over the opener...it gives us a chance to capture all of the bumper without voice over. I love the new PME theme...it's awesome, if anyone has captured anything worthwhile, I would love to hear it. It seems to me as if the PME theme is just one track chopped up into different segments. :thinking:
-
I like the PME theme, but it doesn't seem to have much depth besides the starting portion followed by the same part repeating over and over again. Is there more to it that I haven't heard?
BTW, I don't mind the bumper music playing over the openers; it's the production music playing over the openers that I absolutely hate.

I agree. And to me, It appears as if the PME theme is probably a one, one1/2 or 2 min cut that is divided up into different segments. I am still looking to gather clips to try to piece the entire theme together.

-
Adam Berg is in for Vivian Brown today on Weather Center!
I wonder if the afternoon long-form block is gone for good? Maybe they were using it to train Ryan Goswick and Warren Madden in the HD studio, and now that they have both finally made their HD debuts, the long-form block is no longer needed.

Wow, that was an awesome shot; they showed Rich sitting all the way to the left of the big desk (with a different-than-usual wall shot behind him), then the new "cylinder" graphic flew in with the Evening Edition logo and city background (from the recorded teaser) on it. Pretty cool, IMO

It looks like Sunrise Weather is off to a bumpy start... started with no audio whatsoever -- no intro music, no audio from anything, then it cut to the video wall, where it sat on Current Weather for about a minute, the next slide came up then it cut to the emergency satellite feed.. it is now 4:34am... The music I'm hearing on the satellite LF feed sounds like what I'd hear on Weatherscan...
-
Yeah, that was Trammell Starks, which is always used for the emergency feed.
In fact, for the entirety of Sunrise Weather, they couldn't get audio and video from the control room at the same time, so pretty much the whole show was dominated by the emergency feed and by some attempts to show the widescreen maps meant for the video wall using frames.

They debuted new technology on First Outlook and Your Weather Today.. it's apparently called the TruPoint forecast, which depicts what the radar will look like at x time during the next 4-6 hours...
-
I got to see a little bit of it on YWT before I left for school.
-
Neat! Some of the local news stations here use technology like that (ie. WPVI-TV uses FutureTracker) and was wondering if it ever would make its way to TWC.
-
Yeah, it's about time. Local stations have had this feature for years now. ;)
But WHY are they using Google Earth's radar image? Why not just integrate it into Titan HD? The Google Earth radar image looks less sharp and clear. And I know for a fact Titan HD has that capability.

The Marshall Seese era is over. :cry:
During the :50 segment, they had a really nice tribute (lots of old clips!), and the :55 segment was Marshall essentially holding back tears.

There's some activity in the tropics. They might have to let Dr. Lyons out of his box a bit early.

Here's the YT Video of Marshall leaving:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rwxry3FK8w&fmt=18
And it was uploaded by our second newest member at TWC Today. :wacko:
-
Marshall's replacement is...................Bill Keneely. :bang:
-
We don't know that yet. He could just be filling in until someone else is brought in.
-
Having Bill on YWT is okay, IMO. I think he and Kelly make a better team though. Right now, they are the oldest team on TWC (if you don't want to include their breakup that lasted for about 6-7 months).
-
Something about this doesn't feel permanent. I don't think there was any "welcome" for Bill as the new host, and Eboni (who's with Kelly today) certainly doesn't seem like she could be Bill's replacement. I have a feeling we'll just be seeing KRob on YWT Monday and Tuesday and Bill from Wednesday-Friday until something is worked out.
Why they haven't working something out by now since Marshall's retirement was obviously planned is beyond me.
-
I have a feeling we'll just be seeing KRob on YWT Monday and Tuesday and Bill from Wednesday-Friday until something is worked out.
Either that, or whoever is supposed to take Marshall's place is going to start on Monday.

I would go with that. It wouldn't make sense (to me at least) to start the new person midweek.

So I was browsing the Killer Tracks music library (looking for the circa 1998-2000 NASCAR on ABC/ESPN music), and I came across this track: http://164.109.94.195/76/61/37661.mp3
I know it was used on TWC at some point, but when, and what for?
-
It sounds very familiar indeed, though I can't quite put my finger on what it was used for. I don't think it was ever an LF tune. Sounds like maybe it was a theme for a show or special. :thinking:

That was used on the First Day of Fall LOT8's opener in 2006 and I think 2007 too.

Tonight's EE again consists of Paul and the Gang Guy, and Paul's wearing a badass Rich Johnson-esque wide-checkered jacket. :P

Billy, what is the name of that song? I love it! :biggrin:

Can't they move Nick Walker back to the morning shows with Seese out? Really, Walker doesn't appeal to me as a Weather Center guy (or an afternoon person for that matter), and I really don't like the combo of Vivian/Walker.

With that in mind, he sounds like a morning guy. ;)
-
I agree about Nick, but the only problem is that TWC is lacking one OCM, which they need to make things work out better. It's a shame that they don't appear to be interested in hiring anyone new (unless that someone is going to make an appearance soon; I guess we'll see.).
Alex Wallace isn't ready for a full-time spot yet, IMO. He still seems to be nervous and not really carry a strong personality.

Maybe they forgot to change it, they updated their Desktop Weather Program to a Halloween theme on the week of Halloween, it was orange gradient with pumpkins on it.

Warren and Kristina on WWC.
Could Warren be replacing Alex, who replaced Carl, because Alex is replacing Carl later?

Carl's always sick. :P

Yesterday, Alex replaced Carl on WWC, and Carl was on PM Edition/Evening Edition (and sounded sick).
Today, Warren replaced Alex on WWC. Maybe this means Alex will replace Carl on PM Edition/EE.

Well, I remember from it a couple of months ago, so my bad. :P

Kevin does this shift all the time on the weekends; if he's not sounding right, he must be sick; not sure if that's true; he sounds fine to me.
Kim is the Travel Analyst today on YWT, so DP is probably going to consist of either Mike Seidel or Alex Wallace with a side of AMAZING FACTS.

Mike Seidel and Alex Wallace, and they said at the end of the show that they'll also be hosting tomorrow.

Anyone else see the new LOT8s open with the green TWC logo - and stating how TWC is now part of NBC Networks, therefore leading TWC to be in NBC's "Universally green" campaign? Pretty neat, actually.
-
Did Overnight Outlook's opener change along with the rest in 2005 before it got axed? I can't seem to find a copy of the newer one to see....
-
Yes indeed it did; note the incorrect declaration of "LIVE" in the new opener...

So either something is going on at my headend or TWC is experiencing another meltdown. I've been seeing a black screen here for the past four minutes, ever since Day Planner (hosted today by Cheryl Lemke and Kristin Dodd) went to break at 11:06 AM ET. At 10:56 AM ET, the commercials were interrupted by an approximately one-minute long test pattern screen.

I'm guessing it was either your headend or the problem is solved, because I just turned on TWC and saw my LF.

Must be my headend. The outage is still occurring.
EDIT: As of 11:23, it came back.

Now, I predict the schedule for the rest of today and tomorrow out of boredom:

Rich Johnson and Sharon Resultan
weather.com
Adam Berg
So for tomorrow, either someone who's currently off is going to need to come back, or they're going to need to call someone in or have someone go solo. I guess we'll see how it turns out.
-
People need to stop taking these week long vacations and get back to work on their normal schedules... As soon as Alexandra returns in January, I hope things get back on track. It's bothering me a lot.

Yeah, me too.
This schedule is just plain terrible
Gosh, January needs to hurry up and get here :cry3:
-
Wow, Dave is in for Sam today; way to blow my schedule way off!
-
That's the one reason why i'm not watching TWC right now because the schedule is terrible
-
My schedule was off again for the evening; this time I had it reversed. Carl was in the studio for A&B/early EE, then when it was time to preview regular EE, we heard, "All right, gang, let's see what's comin' up tonight on Evening Edition."
-
As if TWC just wants to insult my prediction, Carl and Adam anchored EE, and Rich is solo tonight while Sharon takes a load off.
-
Wow, I'm watching Sportscenter on ESPN right now and they've got Adam Berg on there giving the forecast for tonights football game between the Patriots and Jets. :o :blink:
-
At least it's a good person to do the report.
-
Wow, I'm watching Sportscenter on ESPN right now and they've got Adam Berg on there giving the forecast for tonights football game between the Patriots and Jets. :o :blink:

That was the first thing I thought. That's why I was so shocked to see him. I guess NBC really DIDN'T take much control of TWC. They seem to still do as the please. :yes: :thinking:
-
Was Adam live, or did it look like a recording from last night? I would think he would be working the night shift tonight, not the early afternoon.
-

It looked live, but I could be wrong. :thinking:

He was in front of one of the big LCD screens. It was not a green screen.

Huh. I've got the Satellite feed for the 1:08 Local. Not Trammell, though.
-
Wow, what a night on Abrams & Bettes, they ended the show with their first live space shuttle launch, and they talked to NBC reporter Mark Mullen in California who said that "the air quality SUCKS!" Steph told him that his bluntness fits right into the Abrams & Bettes team. :P
-
And just to make it more interesting...
Mike: Now let's take a look at your next seven days worth of weather.
Steph: All right, let's do it.
-
I heard that. I also could've sworn I heard Stephanie say "Chooseday" a minute ago. :P
-
I heard that. I also could've sworn I heard Stephanie say "Chooseday" a minute ago. :P
I heard that, too; I didn't say anything because I thought I was imagining things, but I think she actually did say it. :D
-
Oh great, now she's talking about DIVING. :pimp:
-
Did Jim just slip and say the naughty b-word? I think he did...
-
Adam Berg needs a haircut and needs to put gel back into his hair <_< <_<
-
I just saw him yesterday and he didn't look particularly unkempt to me.... :thinking:
-
Kristin: "This is the first time this season I've got to do the wind chill maps. And I really like wind chills. I don't know why, I just like them."
-
Looks like the TWC logo on the IS LDL and on the regular feed has now turned green.
-
Looks like it started at 8...Football Night in America's logo is now green (it wasn't at 7), and CNBC's is green as well.
The logo looks REALLY off, though.
-
Yeah, the logo on the LDL and the national one aren't matching up at all... :(
-
The logo looks REALLY off, though.
Yeah, it looks like it was a major rush job to get it in there.
-
Anyone else think they should have at least attempted to make the logo look a little bit better? That particular green looks really bad...didn't TWC make a green-leafy-esque one for the end of some Forecast Earth commercials?
EDIT: It's a true LDL change...it's green during the Local.
-
The satellite LF's bug is still normal (blue).
-
Any word on if the TWC HD feed's logo is green?
-
Any word on if the TWC HD feed's logo is green?
I could make a call and find out. :P
-
Any word on if the TWC HD feed's logo is green?
Or on that note, the XL's LDL logo (it's very doubtful that they touched it, though).
-
Okay, I think I see the problem...whatever is keying the TWC logo on the broadcast isn't laying it right...it's correctly positioned on the LDL.
EDIT: Tyler also mentioned "other things" being green too. I wonder what they are gonna be. Use of green screens? All anchors in green this week? Dave Schwartz and Adam Berg DIVING into a pool of green jello?
-
Now they've taken off the TWC logo completely on the :30 past segment.
-
Dave Schwartz and Adam Berg DIVING into a pool of green jello?
THAT would be interesting!
-
Dave Schwartz and Adam Berg DIVING into a pool of green jello?

I would essentially demand a full uncompressed HD clip of that, if it were to happen. :lol:
-
Let's petition TWC to make it happen! :D
-
I'd pay to see that! :biggrin:
-
Yeah, me too!!! :yes:
-
Any word on if the TWC HD feed's logo is green?
They yanked it along with the SD logo as of now.
-
they already yanked the green logo?
-
they already yanked the green logo?
On the normal broadcast, yes (there's not even a TWC logo now). On the LDL, no.
-
What in the world is going on?
-
There haven't been local forecasts for several hours now and even the ldl is not starting. :wacko:
-
INQUIRY: Why isn't Kevin and Kim hosting YWT? Seems more natural than having Kevin/Nicole hosting.
-
Nicole automatically gets the anchor spot because of tradition/Kim not having the "status" to host the show.

There is another Storm Session next Monday. Just saw a commercial.
-

Tradition, yes. But status? Really? :thinking:
I think Nicole is basically considered higher up in the YWT hierarchy, so she automatically moves to Heather's spot when Heather is off. I think both of them would have to be off to give Kim a chance to host the show.

Using green screen now on WC.
it's possible they were doing or fixing something with the video wall because they're using the video wall now on PM Edition.
-
My guess was that they were setting up for Storm Session, and then they recorded it during the long-form block.
-
Not sure if you noticed during First Outlook, Jesse, your favorite bar was turned on. :P
-
Wow, Kristina Abernathy is filling in for Nick today, making this her first weekday appearance in the HD studio!
-
It looks like tomorrow night will be another weekday Gang night on EE. At the end of the show, Jim said, "Paul and I will see ya back here tomorrow. Wait, actually no... *points to Paul* He's..." then he got cut off, and the show ended.
That could have either been, "He's gonna be here" or "He's not gonna be here," so it's hard to say for certain who's going to be off.
-
It looks like the temperature bars have been switched over to the winter ones (as in it now has -30s -20s -10s -0s instead of 100s 110s 120s).... Not sure if this happened today or not but I just noticed.
-
This is something I haven't seen before.... a Local Snowfall Report orange bar crawl at the bottom :blink:
-

-
Strange fact: Dave and Carl were the original two male hosts of Evening Edition Weekend, and this is the first night since their original run on the show in late 2001/early 2002 that they're both working EE Weekend on the same night.
-
It seems they have restored the blue TWC logo back on the national feed, and the LDL logo is back to blue as well.
-
So, why are Kim and Alex doing a fourth hour of Day Planner? We're supposed to have long-form this afternoon...
-

Why are they even running the ICHT @ 2PM ad today? It's supposed to be Storm Session... :thinking:
-
Guys, I'm confused. I'm looking right now at the schedule on weather.com and it shows WC from 2-5. I don't see anything about ICHT, or Storm Session. :unsure:

They didn't lie! It said so right in the schedule guys. :yes:

I don't know, but I'm more apt to believe the one TWC itself puts on its website then I am the one the cable company gives me. Quite often the cable company doesn't update its guide when a channel changes its programming lineup.
-
Then again, none of the schedules anywhere (except for Tyler's) list ICHT and FFN running from 2-5PM ET, yet those shows have aired every weekday since late September except for today and those three days in October.
-
I'm glad that Weather Center is 3 hours today. Too bad it can't always be like this. :yes:
-
I think it will always be like this, at least for the time being. I see no ICHT or FFN until Sunday, and I bet that will hold true. :yes:
-
I think it will always be like this, at least for the time being. I see no ICHT or FFN until Sunday, and I bet that will hold true. :yes:

It looks like they recently redid the schedule page. I think now its accurate. :yes:
-
That still doesn't explain why they've aired ICHT and FFN every day except day.
They just made yet another edit to the "listed" schedule; the Storm Session re-run is now going to happen tomorrow night rather than Thanksgiving night as originally planned.
-
They sure do make lots of last minute changes, don't they? :thinking:

Looks like the three OCM EE team is back tonight with Jim, Paul, and Carl.

the interactive studio tour says there's 11 possible set configurations for the anchor desk.... There's the one they use for YWT/Evening Edition, the one they used to use for First Outlook, the one they use for First Outlook now/Weather Center/A&B/Weekend Now, the one they use for Day Planner/PM Edition/Weekend View, the one they use for Evening Edition After Dark/Sunrise Weather/Weekend Outlook... that's 5.... what are the other 6 possible set configurations? I have yet to actually see them use them or else I'm blind and have just not noticed...
-
Well, all good things must come to an end... Tonight at the end of EEWC, Rich Johnson mentioned that he was leaving EEWC, to become a fill-in OCM. Seems that Sharon Resultan will pilot the late-night shift all by herself from now on.
:cry:

There's a slap in the face. Didn't see that coming (at least I didn't). But, it's not all surprising, either.
-
I just watched it back, yes this is indeed Rich's last EEWC, and Sharon is going to be the sole anchor of the show for now on. Rich is going to be an afternoon fill-in; I guess we'll see soon enough what days he'll be working.
-
Wow, that's a surprise. Never heard anything about that. :wow:
-
I knew this was coming, seeing how EEWC is only an hour long. :(
-
Kristin Dodd in for Betty Davis on PME tonight.
-
Well, this is strange, Rich is on EEWC tonight, and Sharon is not there. Either (a) Rich's new position doesn't take effect until Monday, or (b) Sharon has the night off, and Rich is filling in for her.
-
I think Rich's last day is actually Friday, but Sharon has the rest of the week off, which is why they said goodbye last night.

This is the first time I've seen a non-HD LOT8's opener on the HD feed. :blink:

Vivian and Dave on Day Planner today.

Vivian and Dave on Day Planner today.
Wow, that's really weird. :huh:
-
Whether intentional or not, it's nice to see them get one last show together; they've worked well over the years. ^_^
-
It is very nice to see them together one final time. And I do wonder if it might be intentional. They might be trying to get Dave as much on-camera time as possible for these last two days. :yes:
-
long-form programming's back. :cry3:
-
No surprise. I noticed it on the schedule back on Tuesday or Wednesday when I was debating over it with Steve. :yes:

it can be taken slightly serious... that may indeed be their Christmas schedule (with the exception of the Dancing Penguin)... you never know...

So far the one provided by weather.com has been accurate. :yes:

Sam and Nick on Weather Center.
Maybe they are finally trying to break up the Sam/Betty paring from hell?

This one? That's not what aired today... :dunno:
-
Eboni is on now. Her last appearance today will be at 1:50 pm, right?
-
Eboni is being let go, too. How many is that? I hope all of them get good jobs at local TV stations.
-
Eboni is on now. Her last appearance today will be at 1:50 pm, right?
Eastern, yes.
I really hope Dave gets to be on WWC today, but since Eboni, Alex, and Cheryl have both been used, he'll get relegated to weather.com unless Kristina gets moved over to weather.com.
-
So Cheryl won't be on either? I want to take one last clip of her, I've been watching her on TWC since 1998. I even asked TWC if I could get an autograph from her and I got no reply. :angry:
-
Cheryl was on Weekend Outlook and is also on weather.com this morning because they're so shorthanded. I would anticipate her also being on Weekend Outlook tomorrow if she still has her job.
-
I hope she'll be on tomorrow.
-
UGH!!!! I completely forgot to record Eboni's last day....grr i'm pissed off. Steve, you recorded the footage?
-
Do they even know they are being laid off yet, or won't they know until the day they are laid off?
-
UGH!!!! I completely forgot to record Eboni's last day....grr i'm pissed off. Steve, you recorded the footage?
I think tomorrow might actually be their last day.
-
Do they even know they are being laid off yet, or won't they know until the day they are laid off?
Of course they know; if we know, they certainly know.
-
Carl and Kristina are both working WC today; Dave's gonna be on weather.com. :(
-
It just isn't the same w/o Dave... :thumbdown:
-
Do they even know they are being laid off yet, or won't they know until the day they are laid off?
I'm pretty sure they know ;) If it's been on the internet, then they know.
-
I'm sure they do know. Companies are usually rather upfront about that sort of thing. :yes:
-
Eboni is on today, yay! Maybe she'll make an announcement that she's leaving?
-
Could this now be the final half hour of Eboni Deon era? Maybee... :dunno:
-
Could this now be the final half hour of Eboni Deon era? Maybee... :dunno:
I would say so.
-
I have it recorded. It just ended abruptly. Eboni didn't even say anything besides the Severe weather in florida
-
Keep in mind, she might not be allowed to say anything.
-
That's likely correct. No one else at TWC has been forthcoming about it, so I don't see why they'd want their OCM's to make any mention of it. :thumbsup:
-
Right. This isn't a happy-go-lucky occasion (like Marshall's retirement, for example)
-
Or JLo's moving to Detroit.
How many OCMs have now left TWC this year alone? :huh:
-
I think 4 or 5. Maybe 6. :yes:
-
Or JLo's moving to Detroit.
She's moved to Dallas, not Detroit.
-
Or JLo's moving to Detroit.
How many OCMs have now left TWC this year alone? :huh:
Or Dallas. :bleh:
-
Which other 4 OCMs have left earlier this year besides Marshall and Jennifer Lopez? (I'm talking Jan 08 - present)?
-
Which other 4 OCMs have left earlier this year besides Marshall and Jennifer Lopez? (I'm talking Jan 08 - present)?
Bob Stokes, and the three that are getting laid off today (Dave Schwartz, Cheryl Lemke, and Eboni Deon).
-
Ah, indeed. I thought you guys were reffering to 6-7 OCMs leaving before and excluding this latest job cut event.
You know, makes you wonder if we will see some new faces pop up anytime soon. TWC is already shorthanded and now by laying off 3 more main subsititutes they will really be desperate. I'm thinking we either see 1) new personalities hit the airwaves, 2) more solo (one-OCM) anchored shows, 3) cutting more live time into programming, or maybe even 4) a shift in schedule of main anchors for shows...
Guess we'll have to wait and see :wacko:
-
I have a feeling that we might be seeing Jeff Mielcarz or Julie Martin hosting shows in the future, providing neither get laid off. Jeff has a meteorology degree, and Julie is working on getting one.
-
I heard that the Road Crew and Jeff got axed. :yes:
-
Not to be rude or offend anyone who liked it, but I thought the Road Crew was pointless and annoying, so I'm glad it was axed. :yes:
Are the three OCMs gone yet? (not that I want them to be) Maybe it would make sense for the layoffs to start at the beginning of a new month. :hmm:
-
The Road Crew was okay. Not my favorite segment, but I found it interesting. They seemed to love my area earlier this year - they did a lot of segments near Philly over the summer (I have one I recorded back in June).
Andy - today was their last day.
-
I heard that the Road Crew and Jeff got axed. :yes:
Does this guarantee that Jeff was axed, or could it just be referring to everyone else in the division being axed, with Jeff being moved into the studio as an OCM?

Reread my post Steve. :happy:

Woah, this was unexpected; Nick and Kim are reunited today for Day Planner.
I wonder who's going to do Weather Center...
-
I wonder who's going to do Weather Center...
Gee, I wonder...my guess would be Rich and Vivian.
-

Nope, apparently it's just Vivian solo with the ICHT/FFN today to lighten her load. I assume we'll be seeing more and more of this in this post-layoffs era.
-
I saw Tetiana Anderson reporting this morning on YWT. I thought that someone posted here that she was included in the Nov 30 lay-offs. :whistling:
-

She was supposed to be. As was also said, though, perhaps some of the layoffs take effect at a later date than others. :thumbsup:
-
Indeed. Props though to the forecast of the termination of Dave, Eboni and Cheryl because you are indeed correct; their bios have all disappeared from weather.com. :cry:
-

I wasn't kidding when I said I was talking to an insider! :P :biggrin:
BTW, I've contacted him to see if I can find out more about what's going on with Tetiana, and Jorma Duran too, whom I also heard was supposed to go. :yes:
-
Wow, Betty and Sam are now describing high pressure in the west as having a "pumpkin pie layer" and a "whipped cream layer". Have they been taking lessons from Steph?
-
Hmm, apparently A&B has their own sponsor screen now.

Standard A&B background with the A&B logo in the top left.
-
Great to see some individuality coming back to A&B. :D
-
Starting tonight, they've also been taking and encouraging instant email responses to things they talk about on the snow. During the second hour, they took a viewer report about heavy thundersnow just north of Buffalo with whiteout conditions. They also took a bunch of feedback regarding what animals and shapes the two parts of Michigan resemble. :P
-
Just thought I should mention the fact that my Intellistar is not receiving the National feed, it is just displaying a black screen with the LDL showing continuously, no local forecasts, nothing...error perhaps?
-
Nick Walker along side Rich Johnson today on Day Planner. :blink:
-
Wow, that's an unusual pairing. :o
-
A&B just mentioned a possible upgrade to the Saffir-Simpson scale or a new alternative all together all thanks to Hurricane Ike being a deadly category 2 hurricane....
-
On Day Planer:
Monday: Nick and Kim.
Tuesday: Nick and Rich.
Wednesday: Nick and Kelly.
Odds on who's next?
-
Bill and Vivian?
-
I don't think their going to put someone in for Nick. :no:
-
Vivian Brown and Rich Johnson are up next for Day Planner hour four and Weather Center.
-
Yeah, He'sRichJohnson! :P
BTW, Bill was losing his voice this morning; I guess he's trying to join the competition. ;)
-

Monday: Nick and Kim.
Tuesday: Nick and Rich.

Nick and Kelly again today.

Surprised no one has mentioned that the Berg man is on DP/WC today!
This would lead one to believe that Kristin will do EEWC weekend by herself...but she'd be doing 10-12 EE by herself too...right?
-

You realize today's Friday and not Saturday, right... ;)
Plus, it's highly unlikely that Kristin would ever have to do EE weekend solo, unless there is a real major OCM shortage. Also, EEWC weekend has been done solo ever since the schedule change back in late September/early October, with Kristin taking Saturday night, and Adam on Sunday night.

Yes, I do. I'm just following a pattern with the Rich/Sharon paring breaking apart beginning Monday. And I didn't know EEWC weekend was solo...never up that late. :lol:
-
So basically what we've learned this week is that Carl's primary job Monday-Wednesday is to work EE, and he won't be used as a fill-in on any other shows; however, Adam's main job appears to be filling in wherever he's needed, and he'll only appear on EE if there's nothing else for him do to. :hmm:
Carl will always be there for EE Weekend if Adam or Kristin takes off. :P
-
Who has been working EEWC this week? Sharon solo? :thinking:
-
Who has been working EEWC this week? Sharon solo? :thinking:
Correct; Sharon is doing EEWC on her own from now on while Rich is a fill-in (presumably to replace Dave).
-
Wow, tieless Fridays are back? That's a surprise. :blink:
-
it looks like all the theories are correct... there is no couch anymore...

On November 13, 2008 Fox Television Stations and NBC Local Media reach news deal in Philadelphia to test a system that will allow Fox-owned stations and NBC-owned stations to pool their news resources ranging from shared video to any aerial video from a helicopter. NBC 10 and the FOX affiliate in Philadelphia, WTXF Fox 29, are the first affiliates in the nation to undertake the plan as an effective way to deal with the difficulties in costs in news ooperations.
This would actually explain why TWC sometimes uses footage from WTXF-TV for the Philadelphia area instead of WCAU's footage, which I haven't seen them use yet.
-
Mark and Alex on Weekend Outlook.
-
Billy, I just saw the picture you sent in on TWC. :biggrin:
-
Billy, I just saw the picture you sent in on TWC. :biggrin:

For some reason, Kristina has disappeared from Weekend Weather Center...
What do you mean? :unsure:
-
She started the show, but she's been gone since 2:25 ET.
-
Hmmm...maybe she became ill, or had to leave for some reason. :thinking:
-
Maybe Kristin is ill, and Kristina has to cover for her?
-
Maybe Kristin is ill, and Kristina has to cover for her?
Nah, Carl would definitely be sent to do that.
-
Calling all you Weekend Outlook fans: Does anybody know who was on the show today; I assumed Mark and Alex, but Alex is doing tonight's weather.com forecast. O_o
-
That would be Ray S. and the Double M.
(Not a fan. 7AM work forces me.)
Maybe Kristin is ill, and Kristina has to cover for her?
Nah, Carl would definitely be sent to do that.
But I don't see Kristina covering a show solo. She wouldn't if Adam had EEWC Weekend.
-
Adam and Kristin are working tonight, and now Carl is back solo for this first hour of Evening Edition. Hopefully everything is all right with Kristina...
-
I take it Carl didn't mention anything about her absence? :thinking:
-
I take it Carl didn't mention anything about her absence? :thinking:
Nope. He just introduced himself and left it at that.
-
I take it Carl didn't mention anything about her absence? :thinking:

reminds me of the time a few weeks ago Paul was there for the first segment of Evening Edition and disappeared with no trace thereafter with no mention of where he went...

That happened recently?
I remember that one time back in February when Paul lost his voice; Carl took over Paul's position like nothing ever happened; it wasn't until the next hour that they said anything about it.
-
Did Kristina seem ill at all when she was on earlier? :thinking:
-
Not noticeably...but you never know if it was something like the stomach flu or maybe worse, or maybe she had a family emergency... :(
By the way, they just showed Billy's pictures again during EE; hopefully they show them again next hour. ^_^
-
Alex and Nick on Day Planner.
Vivian on Day Planner/Weather Center...I think.
-
Alex and Nick on Day Planner.
Vivian on Day Planner/Weather Center...I think.
Yeah, that's right. I have a feeling Viv being solo on Monday is going to be the thing for now.
-
Some notes:
- The severe weather/hurricane music has been used today for the severe weather in the South.
- Kim and Nick have done Day Planner, and are still on as of 1:30 Eastern.
- Because of the previous, it can be assumed Weather Center will be from 2-5 Eastern.
- Jorma is still on; he is covering snow in Wisconsin.
- weather.com/tv lists OCM pairings now on the schedule...Nick is no where to be found, Vivian is listed as a pair with Carl Parker (who is listed all seven days) and Mark Mancuso is listed as the only OCM for Weekend Outlook.
Edited to add:
- This whole "Top Ten Weather Moments of 2008", which I though was only on A&B, then migrated to EE, and now is on Weather Center all next week, preempting the long-form block!!!
And a third:
- Vivian and Kristina Abernathy on Weather Center.
-
Sidel appeared on the TODAY Show this morning.

Well, I'll just tell you it was Jeff Mielcarz. :thumbsup:
-
Yeah, he did it last Thursday, now he's back again tonight; great to have him as a regular! :thrilled:
I always missed him doing the weather in the studio when he left to go do the Road Crew...
-
Well, with the RC gone and him not, we'll probably be seeing much more of him. :yes:

Wow, that's an odd pairing; never thought I'd see Krob back on DP!
Want something even more odd? Carl Parker and Rich Johnson are doing the final hour of DP and the one hour of WC today! :happy:
-
Now Kristina is filling in for Sam on PME. I believe this is Kristina's first weekday PME since she left in March 2005. :blink:
-
Last night, they went between WWCH and extended weather. It was like a long-form program but with weather coverage (28/58 locals). They'd play WWCH briefly and then cut in. Seeing Jim Cantore at a desk and not in a storm is rather strange to me.
-
Now Kristina is filling in for Sam on PME. I believe this is Kristina's first weekday PME since she left in March 2005. :blink:
No, I'm pretty sure Kristina filled in on weekday PME (alongside Kelly, IIRC) last year.
-
Did she? O_o
Actually, now that I think of it, she also hosted for part of a week while Sam and Betty were training in the HD studio; damn, my memory is foggy right now.
-
Now Kristina is filling in for Sam on PME. I believe this is Kristina's first weekday PME since she left in March 2005. :blink:

Nick Walker and Alex Wallace on Day Planner.
edit: Vivian Brown and Rich Johnson up next on Weather Center.
-
Look, it's that wild and crazy Jeff Mielcarz on weather.com again! :P
-
Yup, saw him today - he did the Pittsburgh vid forecast.
-
On EE, they just showed video of last night's show when Jim issued the "Cantore Challenge" to send in pictures of the snow in the south; the video featured the Marietta Intellistar!
It's just Jim and Adam tonight, BTW...
-
Sidel is becoming an NBC-regular nowadays. Saw him on Nightly News again tonight.
Also, I like how when a TWC personality appears on Nightly News, they use a special horizontal version of the TWC logo under the OCM's name. :thumbsup:

LOL, yeah I saw Siedel on NN too. I had to chuckle at what Brian said to him in closing. It went something like "Good to see ya again Mike...although, when we do see you it's usually something bad!". :bleh:
-
I can always remember Siedel popping up on NBC even before the partnership.
On TWC yesterday, Vivan said something like "Everyone knows when your there it can't be good". Mike said something along the lines of "Oh, I am starting to become our good friend Jim Cantore"..or something like that
:P Just thought that was interesting.
-
Former Weather Plus OCM Jeff Ranieri is reporting on the ice storm in Vicksburg, MA today on Day Planner. It's kind of an awkward relationship; they're simply referring to him as "Meteorologist Jeff Ranieri", but they're not saying "NBC", yet Jeff doesn't have any TWC gear or anything.
It's like, "gee, who does he work for, NBC or TWC?" <_<
-
We're "doing that" today on the last hour of DP/WC....with Nick Walker and Rich. Vivian and Alex did DP.
-
Yeah, that was really odd to see Nick return to WC in lieu of Vivian; I just don't get it.
-
...snoozefest on Weekend Outlook with Alex and Ray.
EDIT: Kim and Bill did Weekend View, and Kevin and Carl are doing Weekend Now. I wonder who will do WWC...
-
Kristina Abernathy and Rich Johnson on Weekend Weather Center.

Yeah, what the heck is up with the slotting of OCMs...

So while doing the Hawaii forecast, Kristin Dodd said one of the OCMs at TWC is on a vacation in Hawaii. Gee, I wonder which OCM is it?

She didn't mention who. If I had to guess, I'd say Paul Goodloe, since he's been gone from since Wednesday night.
Speaking of Adam, he's on EEWC tonight, and not Kristin, who normally takes Saturday nights.

then who? :club: :dunno: unless it's who I'm thinking of..
She didn't mention who. If I had to guess, I'd say Paul Goodloe, since he's been gone from since Wednesday night.
Speaking of Adam, he's on EEWC tonight, and not Kristin, who normally takes Saturday nights.
I was gonna guess Marshall ;)
He's no longer with the channel. He retired.
I know that.... however retired or not, he was an OCM and he's allowed to vacation in Hawaii :P
Yeah but I'm guessing that Kristin wouldn't have referred to him as an OCM at TWC, since he no longer is. I'm guessing she meant someone whose still employed there.
-
Paul and Kelly have both been off since Thursday, so I'm assuming it might be one of them.
As for Adam being on EEWC last night, Kristin said during PME that she had pneumonia, and you could really hear it in her voice, so that's why Adam was the one to stick around late last night.

Jorma Duran on MSNBC this morning. They had Duran from Fargo and Jeff Ranieri from New Hampshire.

I wouldn't guarantee that; this could just be the same thing they did on Black Friday where the DP crew goes four hours, followed by long form; then the PM Edition crew picks up the one hour of WC in addition to PME. As of right now, that's what I'm predicting to happen.

So Rich Johnson works any day of the week? I saw him yesterday and I could of sworn he was on on a Monday too earlier this month.

Yeah apparently he does what Dave was doing-go wherever he's needed, whenever that may be.

Kelly just said to a former NBC meteorologist out in the field that they should get him a TWC coat for him to wear. Sounds like he will end up being in TWC's studio soon.

Jeff Ranieri was reporting live from Worcester, MA this morning, and Kelly Cass commented that they need to get him a TWC jacket and hat.
edit: Mike beat me to it...
-
Yeah. Leaves a big unknown with MSNBC's weather segments, though. Will they go to Atlanta just for those? Or will they have a TWC meteorologist somewhere at 30 Rock?

Rich and Kristina on Weekend WC. Who is Rich filling in for?
And there it is folks: Let's do that right as Rich begins his OCM wall segment.

usually it's Carl Parker and Kristina Abernathy on Weekend Weather Center.. But it seems they need Carl Parker to fill in for either Kristin or Adam tonight for Evening Edition.
-
Fill-in mania. Why is TWC's OCM lineup so...unstable? (like a cold front in the summer)
-
Because their so short-handed. They just eliminated a bunch, plus have one on maternity leave, one fired, and one retirement. So yeah, it adds up to some holes that are needing to be filled somehow.
On Jeff Ranieri...its interesting, becauseon TWC they act as if he's a TWC employee, yet every time he's on NBC NN Brian Williams refers to him as "NBC Meteorologist" Jeff Ranieri. :wacko:
-
It's unstable because of the recent lay-offs, as well as several OCMs taking off for the season and the winter weather outbreaks. Alexandra should be returning from leave within a few weeks (maybe the week after New Years) so that should hopefully make the schedule more stable, at least in the evening.
-
Apparently this is the business that Jim had with NBC this week...he's doing sideline reporting at the Sunday Night Football game because it's so windy there; apparently they saw it as a nice opportunity for some cross-promotion.

I saw the lost episode yesterday.

Jim's getting pretty good at filling in for Mr. Roker.

No, those are different titlebars. What you see on MSNBC is not from a WSI computer, remember. And the Weather Central computer uses Univers, not Helvetica Neue.

Has the audience barometer segment made a return to A&B recently? I was just browsing A&B's site and saw that the poll there was updated for the first time since the segment was discontinued in January. It was about what the top weather story of 2008 should be. That was also the first update I've seen on that site since before the HD relaunch.

-
I wake up (kinda sorta not really), and there's the Double M and Rich. Wowzers.
We got two days of Mark Mancuso this week - he was with Ray Stagich on Saturday.
I'd expect to see a much better utilization of the OCMs with Cheryl, Eboni, and Dave gone.
There are five weekend/fill-in OCMs that I'd expect to see picking up the slack:
*Mancuso - He'll be on at least Sat & Sun, plus hopefully a few weekdays again.
*Abernathy - Almost totally absent from weekdays in recent months, I'd expect to see her regularly filling in.
*Seidel - He makes a blue screen appearance about twice a month, and really, isn't in the field that much. What does he do?
*Dodd & Berg - If TWC was smart, they'd move them so one has MTu off and the other ThurFri off. The current set-up leaves EEWC without a fill in on MTu.
Rich Johnson has been all over the map the last two weeks - I wonder if he's just filling in all over the schedule because of the holidays or if he's been pulled off of EEWC... I'd hate to loose his pairing with Sharon. In reality, Rich and Sharon should be given the PM Edition slot - Betty and Sam just aren't working.
It was great to see Rich on with Mark again - used to see it occasionally when Mark would fill in for Jeanetta on Weather Center. Both of them are extremely good OCMs - watching them was watching two pros doing a great job (unlike the Betty and Sam amateur hour). They both give just enough science to make it interesting without being overwhelming.

Yes. Your going to see that many of them are off for most of the week. I'm interested in seeing how things go. I expect to see alot of odd pairings. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the senior meteorologists that we don't often see, like Stu Ostro and Keith Westerlage make appearances before it's all said and done.
Though its unrelated, many of the local stations here have been operating on a very skin and bones staff since the middle of last week, because so many regulars are on vacation. The point is, this is a very popular time for vacationing, and your bound to see very skimpy staff's.
-
I don't think Keith Westerlage works at TWC anymore, as his profile was removed last July. That might of been also why the OCMs started wearing ties again at that time, up until just within the past few weeks.
-
The Titan Kevin is using is suffering a blow to the head right now, it's not allowing the screen to be changed. Alex is now finishing up the segment, this happend last segment too.

I think you're correct :yes: From time-to-time I check the website tvjobs.com, just to see who's where, and it had mentioned Keith Westerlage as "On The Beach" which in TV World, means that they are currently not employed by a TV station/network/company..w/e.

Paul isn't on weather.com tonight, so I'm assuming this is his ski trip week, and I wonder if Jim went with him again this year, if he did, it might be Carl and Adam on EE this week or Carl and Jim if Jim didn't go on the trip. (unless of course Alexandra decides to make a comeback)

I bet it probably changed when PME went HD; I think all of the shows' openers were redone for HD.

Actually, I think the opener that aired today might be from the recorded teasers, as the colors in the opener appeared to be much darker than the original opener, just like the opener attached to the teasers was/is.

Wow, that was a cup full of fail; the editor who made the recorded teaser for this hour of EE forgot to include the opener at the end of it.

It seems they've added unnecessary "swish" sound effects to the opener attached to the EE recorded teaser (which if you'll remember, was a common practice back in 2007 as well).

It won't, but why it isn't on the guide I have no idea. This block warmed up on me now, though I wish they wouldn't air FFN 12 times a week when there's only six episodes.
IMO, the long form schedule should go like this:
2:00-3:00 Storm Stories
3:00 ITCH
3:30 FFN
They also should ditch Day Planner and put Weather Center on 10-2, then either bring back AO or have PME start at 4PM. One hour of WC makes no sense, IMO.

I have a very strong hunch that EEWC and WO are being produced by Master again as of Thursday. I'll post more during the day, but suffice it to say that the shows look just as rough and just the same as they did before the move to HD. Either OverDrive is broken, or they've decided to cut back by having one less person working during those hours; I'm thinking the latter, but we'll see.

Does anyone notice that whenever Evening Edition uses the pre-recorded teasers, the first second or so of the opener is cut off? This causes the music to not line up with the opener. It wasn't always like that..
-

The opener isn't cut off at all; it just looks that way because the opener fades in from the teasers. The opener is out of sync from the music due to sloppy editing on their part. (This was common with the 2003-2005 EE pre-recorded teasers as well.)

I actually think it's done intentionally so that the signature notes play just as it's transitioning into the studio; at least, that's my take on it.
-
Its a 50/50 toss up if they A) Have just the teaser pre-taped and dissolve to the live open off a video server, or B) If they have a enough time, or depends on whos editing, will include the opening as part of the pretape, in which case they can perfectly backtime and sync the opening music to the pre-tape package.

The opener is part of the recorded teaser - if they were airing the opener live, they'd use the opener that doesn't transition out to the studio.

Just so you know, there is no offical "opener" for either. Its what ever the TD can pull up on the SMS quickest or what ever is preset by OD.

True, but it's very rare that they actually use the original opener (the one that transitions out) on a live teaser. They basically always use the original opener after a pre-recorded teaser, and I'm pretty certain that that opener is actually part of the recorded teaser.

A similar occurance happened with the opener on both EE and EEWC during the BWTL era as well, from aroudn the time its graphics debuted until when master changed formats in mid 2007. During that time period, the "swish" sound effect didn't sync with the graphic transitions.

On the live EEWC, at :24 after, we got black and an LDL. Nothing at all until the corner forecast zoom is played, then we cut to some feed with radar/satellite and music. I have a big hunch that this is the Trammell feed. And I do mean BIG.
They did cut to commercial a little early, though, so I have very little of the occurrence (but I did record it, so I have video). I will post something to here when available, as I have no YouTube channel.

That'd be the music of Trammell Starks. :thumbsup:

My hunch was Trammell, but I was unsure if it really was. I confirmed it using TWCC's Starks previews and came up with the name as "Someday". It's the beginning of the track, too, so it's a dead-on match.

You know, if I were living in Atlanta, I'd beg NBC to let me work OverDrive without pay; the production on this show is horrid. Just this segment, there was a 15 second black screen, followed by a small clip of EE music, follwed by a video. Then when Sharon introduced Jim's package, she sat there like a lame duck for over 10 seconds waiting for Master to figure out how to get the video working. Ugh.
Ack, the horrible accidental muting of the mic for a few seconds following the opener has returned! *has horrific flashbacks of years gone by*
They also began the show feeding Sharon her own audio through her earpiece; she had to interrupt the broadcast to tell Master to fix the audio and send her mix-minus.

I will admit it is an embarrassing thing, Carl's cough attack on air, and if it really does turn out to be him in the end, in my honest opinion, you should take the video down in respect. Again, it's just my honest opinion if it really is him.

You can't forget and CBS' "Two and a Half Men" and "Worst Week," as well as TNT's "The Closer!"
-
So how come TWC hasn't done a "Why I love summer?" segment. I'll give you all the reasons why I "love" winter:
-Car dies out several times and needs to be jumped, but no problem
-Slipping and sliding is a very safe thing in life
-Having to dress in multiple layers makes anyone warm and fuzzy
-Able to wear pants, never need to think about busting out the shorts
-Snow is a pleasure to shovel and move around
-Cold weather! Frostbite FTW!
-Roads stay frozen over during a deep freeze, very suitable driving conditions
-Those artic blasts with brutally cold air are just lovely and refreshing
-Seeing it pitch black at 5:30 PM is just such a great time
-Waiting til 7:00 AM for the sun to come up is the cure every needs
-Keeps the umbrellas put away and tidied up
-For a serious issue, no TWC babbling about Hurricanes
-
This just feels weird... :hmm:

For some reason, there was a YWT promo aired before the top of the hour bumper.
EDIT: They also managed to air the entire EE track (the one associated with the opener) in the background; they never did fade it out until it finished.
-
It's baaaaaaaaaccck! The ski opener!
(http://f.imagehost.org/0254/SkiOpener_20090128.png)

At 8:20 AM ET, they played a production track that was often used on Weekend View 2005-2008.
-
Long-form programming block has been pre-empted again today.
-
What a dumb way to start Evening Edition at 8 ET. <_< With EE music, they used the "Why I Love Winter Opener" and didn't even show the regular EE opener. So if I didn't know any better, I could have thought that "Why I Love Winter" was actually on.

I think they use the 8pm EE hour very.... "loosely"... I think they use this to screw around with stuff or something... i.e. wrong lower third, wrong music package, etc... They need to really pick something to put at 8pm... if they want it to be EE, then make it really EE and put the amazing effort into making it EE. If they want to to be A&B, then put forth 100% effort into making it A&B... They've been slipping a lot lately... Especially with the 8pm hour and EEWC...

Extra hour of Evening Edition at 8 PM CT.

They're usually pretty good with the 8 PM ET hour, but some nights they do slip up, usually by still having the lower thirds light blue.
I'm kind of surprised that this hour of EE is being done by Steph and Carl instead of Paul and Alexandra. I wonder if the repeat of WWCH will be preempted or not...
-
Man, they've picked the wrong week to air Why I Love Winter week. :P This the second (and hopefully last) day this week they've preempted programming.
-
That silly Adam Berg is on EEWC yet again. :P
-
It's still A&B tonight...just with Abrams and Berg!
-
Tonight was a pretty fun night on Abrams & Berg in preparation for Steph's Groundhog Day trip to Punxsutawney. They interviewed Steph's field producer from Steph's last trip out there in 2004, and at the end of the show, Steph, Adam, and Paul were all wearing their black top hats. :P
-
Alex Wallace in for Kim Perez today on Weekend Now.
-
Why does it seem the OCM's act a lot more serious while talking in a pre-recorded teaser than doing a live teaser?
-
Interestingly, they put together a recorded top-of-the-hour teaser for EE Weekend. I haven't seen that done in a while. And of course, instead of letting the opener transition out like normal, they just faded in to the studio before the transition occurred. <_<
They're also using the afternoon lower thirds so far on the show.
-
Yeah, EEWC is as rough as ever when I see it on the weekends. You know it's not good when you get a black screen for a minute, the corner forecast zoom animation, and then Trammell Starks.
-

I just wish EEWC was taken over by trammell's music every morning from 1-4am ET (but the lf's still play with normal Overnight music on the 8's) Then Back to trammel :clap:

Adam Berg on the fourth hour of Day Planner today. So I guess that means that either Jim or Paul will be back tonight on EE.

hmmm, A&B say they now have access to the inbox to abramsandbettes@weather.com so I wonder how things could get interesting, lol

-
Yeah, three straight hours of Trammell Starks sounds mighty appealing to any TWC fan.
Have the LDL run constantly too.
-
Okay, this is officially weird. We're having a master-controlled EEWC with Paul and Alex. Paul said "Thanks for joining us for ANOTHER hour of Evening Edition."
:wacko: :blink: :wacko:
-

:wacko: :blink: :wacko:
I bet that since Sharon isn't there, if they kept Rich Johnson, they would have Rich do EEWC... but since they let more of their staff go, I guess they're short handed. Adam worked earlier in the day, and Carl's still off, so I guess they had no choice. It's too weird. Seriously. :blink:
They really need to do a better job with swapping the mic feeds when they switch cameras.
-
I'm wondering if Sharon has been demoted and moved to a Weekend/fill-in spot. It's a real possibility since today's Thursday that she might be working Saturday to Wednesday from now on.
-
Man, that was a really really really bad hour, in terms of Master Control controlling everything... Between camera feeds not swapping for 15-20 seconds leaving Alex standing there awkwardly, to mic feeds not swapping when they should, thus not understanding what they were trying to say... It was just terrible. Not Alex's or Paul's fault at all :no:
-
inb4 Kyle says it's not Master Control.
:P
-
If it's not Master Control, then it must be drunk monkeys high on pot. I swear to god it has to be one or the other. lol *calms*

-
Well, tonight's extra hour of the Alex/Paul hour is off to a rocky start, basically with Paul's bad microphone. You can barely hear him.
-
Now they just re-aired the same segment twice in a row because their attempt to play a recorded teaser failed.
-
Do they WANT to fix Paul's microphone at all? :wall: :wall: :wall:
-
Can we get this man some audio? Some audio please! :whistling:

Alex Wallace and Ray Stagick on Weekend Outlook. Alex did the 6:10 segment solo.
-
The MSNBC Weekend Weather segment, which used to actually have an OCM, is little more than one slide of a national forecast now.
-
Kim and Kevin on
whatever show comes on now Weekend Now.
EDIT: ZOMFG Kim just mentioned isobars!
-
Rich Eisen on a twc/turbotax commercial :o
-
WTF? Weekend Now has a Weather Passport opener?
-
Carl Parker and Sharon Resultan on WWC today.
-
That was almost my prediction. I was predicting she would be reunited with Adam, or as I like to call him Mr. "Gang"-guy, on EE. They actually worked together for a few summer months there, after Mike B. moved to A&B and Sharon moved to EEWC. But now we'll have to see who'll the "Gang" leader would be working with tonight. :thinking:
P.S. I was thinking either (at least) Warren, Alex, or even Ryan would be on WWC, and Carl and Adam do EE.
-
This is even more historic: Carl and Sharon were a team on EE Weekend before early 2002 when he moved to weekday EE. I see Carl's commemorating the event by wearing a psychedelic tie instead of one of his usual 6 ties. :P
-
Kim and Kevin on whatever show comes on now Weekend Now.
EDIT: ZOMFG Kim just mentioned isobars!
Ray Stagich mentioned isobars on Sunrise Weather today too, so :O

Adam Berg and Samantha Mohr on PM Edition tonight.
-
WTF...Adam's partner is...Samantha Mohr?!?
-
WTF...Adam's partner is...Samantha Mohr?!?
My guess is they're just having the PME OCM's work 6 days a week instead of 5 (one of those days being the weekend); if that's the case, then Betty Davis should be Adam's partner tomorrow.
-
That's also what I'm thinking...
-
WTF...Adam's partner is...Samantha Mohr?!?
I really don't want a sixth day of Sam Mohr. I'm sorry, she's not that good.
-
Alex Walace and *Mike Sidel* today on Weekend Outlook.

All right, everybody it's time for A&B! No, not *that* A&B...I'm talking about Adam & Betty! :yes:

Dang, Spring Rubber you got me on that one. :P
Adam and Betty are back together again. That's awesome!

You're kidding. Right? TWC is a cable channel, which is already digital. The DTV transition, again, refers to Over the Air channels (such as independent channels, ABC, CBS, NBC, My Network TV, CW).
-
wow im sorry about that :wall:

Berg and Davis on EE weekend

Did they redo the Severe Weather intro? I see on the monitors that the graphic was changed... If they did redo it, I hope they didn't trash the severe weather music track, I liked it...

what is with all the mixing and matching of teaser music between shows!? I heard PM Edition teaser music during the beginning of Weather Center today! I could've sworn I heard EE music during First Outlook this morning too....I don't like that, the shows each have their own themes, and they should stick with them :no:

The "Haboob of the Day" is back on
A&B EE.

-
(This may not belong here, but I couldn't find a better place for it.)
I found this very interesting. :blink: Today, our local NBC meteorologist suggested viewers to go to weather.com for updates on the severe weather we may be getting tomorrow night. Could this possibly be related to NBC's buying of TWC? :dunno:
-

It's when Steph and Mike shows you some crazy-but-true weather stories. Today was when they mentioned some nude hikers in Switzerland hiking up some mountain, and they had to pay a fine just for doing that...but they didn't show the video...because....you know why. :rofl:

Yes, a lot of NBC O&Os (Owned & Operated stations) have been doing this for a while now.
-
HOORAY! They fixed Paul's mic on the Master Controlled EEWC! About time. lol
-
Probably because he's doing it solo. I wonder if the problems will start up again if they go back to two people.
-
Looks like they preempted WWCH with another hour of the Evening Edition branded A&B
-
Yup. because of the severe weather outbreak in Oklahoma. :yes:
-
I don't think Alex is in the studio tonight... Maybe she really was sick.. Get well soon, Alex.
-
Did she sound or look like it?
-
Did she sound or look like it?
She didn't at the start of EE last night, I don't know how the evening progressed though as I had to head out the door for a bit.
In other news, WWCH preempted also for 12am for another hour of EE prime time. I wonder how EEWC will go though.
-
Paul is back for EEWC. His fourth straight hour. :wacko:

neither do i... :no:
-
Does this mean they're gonna move Steph and Mike to Weather Center or will they drop the "Beyond The Forecast" title and add "Weather Center?" Ohh man...:(
But we'll see in the future
-
Ugh, I had a bad feeling something like this would happen once they branded that one hour of the show "Evening Edition". Abrams & Bettes just doesn't pull in the ratings, most likely due to the timeslot. Odd how they redesigned the WC logo in the A&B style; not sure if that means they're going to increase the reach of the WC brand again or if Abrams & Bettes are just going to host the one crappy hour of WC per day at 4 ET. :(
-
They might shift Weather Center to 4-6, then PME to 6-8.
-
either way I don't like it...A&B should be 2 hours, 7-9, and EE should be 9-11 again...just more changes, not for the better :no:
-

its not due to shortage but rather ratings...Beyond the Forecast will likely be discontinued in the near future.

as much as I don't want to hear this, it's most likely true...ever since they relaunched in June it's been downhill, especially for A&B and WV...both shows lost their individuality, and are just like any other show...I really don't want to think about this but it appears that we are starting to head back to the "one show name" domination of the early 2000s...
-
Ohh man... :sos:
I guess you guys are right, when BTF first premiered it was a fun show when they had the Audience Barometers and other stuff, now today they dropped it and added the weekly planner. I'm thinkin "it's just a normal show, the only difference is the name".
Weekend View did went downhill big time, ever since Dao Vu left.
But still we'll see in the near future. The only good thing is that I'll be able to see my two favorite OCMs.

This makes me think she was demoted to fill-in, like Rich was once Dave Schwartz was let go. It further speculates that it's possible if there's more cuts, Sharon may be the next to go.

Either that, or they have unannounced layoff of Sam Mohr, and Sharon is Betty's new co-host.
It isn't too likely, but stranger things happened.

Which leaves Paul Goodloe the only OCM left that has been with Evening Edition (weekday or weekend) since it launched in 2001.

I just saw a commercial for ICHT and FFN airing from 2-4PM today. Could this just be a mistake, or is the 2-hour afternoon block really going to air on weekends too? I certainly hope not. Then again, with the recent layoffs I'm not surprised. <_<

It's a trade-off. Since Forecast Earth is presumably over with, the 5pm hour will now be free for PME or WWC.

Indeed, Carl and Mike Sidel on WWC.

So let me ask this: Are there any OCMs anymore (besides Abrams, Bettes, and Goodloe) that work a single show and are not fill-ins? :dunno:

Alex Steele
Heather Tesch
Jeff Morrow
Jen Carfagno
and Nick Walker seems to have settled into Day Planner.

From what I'm seeing in the new schedule, they're going to be moving some OCM's around to other shows for testing and see where people fit...

Wow, that has got to be the first time he hosted WO since the apprentice OCMs started hosting it in 2005. :blink:

Hmm, I just saw them use an on-the-fly opener on WN. I haven't seen any on-the-fly openers in months. :thinking:

Ryan Goswick and Warren Madden on WWC.

aaahhh Sharon's back on her home tonight on EEWC B)
-
Mike Seidel and Kim Perez on Day Planner today.
-
Looks like the Weather Center-esque hour of Day Planner with Vivian is no more. Mike and Kim hosted the 1PM ET hour today despite the long-form programming, and the anchor desk was at the same position as the 10AM-12PM hours.
-
Carl Parker and Betty Davis on Weather Center/PM Edition today.
-
They've got the uhh... Abrams & Bettes zoo tonight on A&B? lol this should be interesting to see
-
Yeah, they have chinchillas, turtles, and so much more!
Watching it right now... :)
-
Carl Parker was in for Samantha Mohr today...
I also just noticed the machines behind the OCM's at the big desk run some version of McAfee as I saw the splash screen for it when it booted up...
-
Steph just said she's going to be filling in for Al Roker tomorrow for The Today Show. She's leaving now, in the middle of the show..

Ahh I thought she had the day off...so I guess she won't be on 2morrow. :(
Just found that out now..

They're using the key wall in the HD studio for the 1 PM ET hour of Day Planner.
-
This hour of DP is being shot in front of the key wall, presumably because today would be the day that Storm Session would be filmed.
I don't see how they could pull that off given the severe weather going on.
-
They're still using the chromakey at 3PM ET.
-
Still the chromakey walls as of 5PM ET for PM Edition
-
Video wall is back, however they didn't show the center shot, nor did they show the right side of the video wall... They've got it zoomed in to the video wall.. this is really weird...
-
This is what Mike's side looked like for this first segment:
(http://g.imagehost.org/0028/ProjectorWallCloseUp_20090218.png)
This is really weird, and Steph was using a close-up shot that was way too high up. It looked like she was standing at the middle of the wall based on the curvature at the top of the wall.

They just did a live segment with Dr. Lyons down in the old studio in front of what appears to be their briefing area TV. That was a O_o moment.

I'll have it up on youtube in about 20 minutes.

Is the 1PM hour of Day Planner full controlled now? The reason I ask is because it's hosted by the same people who host DP from 10-1.

All shows are controlled from the control room, except for EEWC and WO.

There is no more anything called Full Control / Master Control... It's ALL controlled the same way now. Regardless of if its the control room, or if its master that's doing the show, its ALL done the exact same way.

EE is broadcasting from the PME/DP/WV desk tonight.
-
Something must be majorly wrong with the video wall, then.
-
All I can say is...
WTF WTF WTF

EE is broadcasting from the PME/DP/WV desk tonight.
You have to admit, that was a nice zoomed out shot of the PME/DP/WV desk shot at the start...

Yeah. I noticed that in A&B and EE as well.
-
During A&B, they leave the big desk in the position it was at during PME, they don't move it around until WWCH is on. They do the same thing during FO sometimes, leaving the desk in the position it was in during EEWC...
During A&B tonight, their wide shot that have positioned towards the left side of the wall was zoomed in so far that the entire right side was blocked so you couldn't see anything or anyone over there.
-
(http://f.imagehost.org/0689/PaulRightWall_20090218.png)
So whatever they're hiding, it's something that would be seen in a wide shot.
-
maybe the center screen is broken or something... I can see the fade...

Now THAT's interesting.

It for sure looks like the middle screen is out...

Paul is at the key wall for EEWC... looks like they're (hopefully) using the spare 4 hours (12am-4am) to their advantage...

You'd think they would... But nope! Check out the fail in the attached images... You can actually see the light reflect off the green screen in the first image..

They still haven't fixed it. FO is using the zoomed in cameras at the projector wall still.

I think it might happen one day, and the OCM's will have a fun day.
Is the video wall no longer a chroma-key system? Can an OCM wear any color, and not have any problems?

Samantha Mohr is back today on Weather Center/PM Edition.

it may just be me, but it seems the lighting is better at the key wall today :blink:

Cool :yes:
Also, I'm curious to know if the wall is actually fixed or not... They're only sporting the right side of the wall, meaning it's possible they moved the dead panel to the left of the wall... If that's the case, it's at least better than the zoomed in mess that was yesterday.
-
Yeah, after further examination, that seems to be just what they did. Will they ever get this thing fixed?!?

Now Abrams and Bettes are following *me* on Twitter.

This is what I said earlier...at the A&B topic...I was thrilled.

They may have to order a replacement panel from the manufacturer, meaning it may be a few more days before the wall is back up to full speed. :yes:

Evening Edition is in the PM Edition Desk layout... Alex is off tonight, Adam is in the house!

Well, I guess their current key walls are backlit, so the lighting could fail on them. >_<

"TON - SAT" was definitely in the title bar, Jim was like "I've never seen that before.. I think that means tonight"

You guys obviously don't get my point about the key wall. Or else you think your funny. :P :D

They've also turned the studio to the PME colors at the top of the hour. O_o

Can someone tell me, was Heather Tesch doing weather.com this evening at any point? Or any point today at all for that matter?

I'm sure she did the morning National forecast on there.
If you're trying to confirm if it's really her Twitter account, it is. She told us about it during the show yesterday.

What I'm trying to confirm (and its moot now anyway because I've taken care of the issue) is how TWCC member stephon d. watson got wind of it in order to post it on TWCC. As I suspected, I believe he got it from here.

A&B, Heather, and Jim have Twitter accounts.
And yeah Heather has been saying that she has been doing forecasts for .com

Hmm, I guess they're starting the new schedule off early...

I expected the WWC team to do the first two hours of PME with Adam and Sharon doing the final hour of PME and EE, but I guess TWC still wants to do the mixed OCM schedules. I guess Carl and Mike will be back maybe for the final hour of PME.
-
The masters of EEWC, evicted from their empire.
Oh yeah, and I found an article on Storm Stories: http://www.multichannel.com/article/179707-_Storm_Stories_Twists_Into_Weather_Channel_s_Tornado_Week.php?rssid=20059 (http://www.multichannel.com/article/179707-_Storm_Stories_Twists_Into_Weather_Channel_s_Tornado_Week.php?rssid=20059)
-
This is the intermediate step in the major schedule change. Today introduced the removal of Forecast Earth, the extension of PM Edition, the reappearance of Storm Stories, thus the two-hour block in prime.
Next week is the upheaval.
-
Another hour with Adam and Sharon? WTF?
-
Looks like they're re-running an older episode of Storm Stories at 7:30 PM CT.
EDIT: With the old TWC logo in the trivia segment, as well.
-
Mike Seidel anchoring solo tonight on the double E! The world is coming to an end... I wonder who'll anchor EEWC tonight... My guess would have to be Carl, since he was on WWC with Mike.

That would be an awfully long day for Carl. I don't know if they'll keep him in for EEWC. I'd guess either Adam or Sharon will appear.
-
That would be a long day for them too... Assuming they arrive to TWC at 2pm, if they go on the air at 1am, that's a 12 hour work day right there...
-
Given all the layoffs, I'd imagine that 12-hour+ days are probably more common than you realize. :yes:
-
OVERTIME! :thrilled: :lol:
-
OVERTIME! :thrilled: :lol:
LOL. :rofl: :rofl:
But perhaps not. The OCM's could be paid a salary, and not a wage, meaning that they'd not be eligible for overtime, regardless of how many hours they work.
-
Well Adam's back for EEWC!
-
They won't have to work for so many hours starting next Sunday, when long-form programming takes over the weekend schedule.
-
Whoa! I just noticed a new Notify by The Weather Channel commercial today! See attached video.

On Storm Stories, they had the Nashville tornado last night, and I realized TWC had a conflict of interest with the television station. The station was WTVF Nashville, a station (then) owned by Landmark. TWC and WTVF were the only properties Landmark could get sold. (However, the WTVF sale fell through when Lehman Brothers went bankrupt-o.)
And I got to see the old TWC logo. Hip-hip-hooray!

they're wrapping the :50 segment up at 3:42... I wonder what's gonna happen at :50 <_< <_<

I'm "y", BTW. :P

Unbelievable! :blink: I think there are even a bunch more missing from this list if we add in the OCM's that left before the HD relaunch.
Despite everything that has changed on TWC since it debuted on May 2, 1982, one thing still remains the same after almost 27 years. :rolleyes:
-
Somehow, I don't see that ever changing. :D :P
-
J-Lo was pregnant in 2002? I only seem to remember her being on leave in 2004-05. I remember Heather was pregnant in 2003 and left during the summer. She returned not long after the 9/29/03 relaunch.
-
I seem to recall Terri Smith filling in for Jennifer Lopez in 2002, and I'm pretty certain it was for maternity leave. After Alexandra took JLo's position in 2005, I remember thinking about how JLo *didn't* lose her position the first time she got pregnant.

The only thing I could think of is the local forecasts provided by the WeatherSTARs.

Well Alexandra and Paul showed their spring break photos....

I saw a 'Countdown to Spring' clock this morning during First Outlook.

Ok gang, we have an extended choo hours of Weather Center on this stormy afternoon! :thrilled:

Interesting... they're airing a "Surviving the Elements" safety segment right now.

Betty and Sam are moving to mornings! :blink:

Betty and Sam are moving to mornings! :blink:
Who the hell is gonna do PM Edition then? Someone from the morning slot would have to be moved... Could it be Jeff and/or Jen? Bill and/or Kelly? Kim? :blink: :blink:
-
Are they gonna work FO? I can't think of any other shift for them. Can't wait to see how this is gonna turn out...
-
for the first time in months, the big desk is in the EE position during A&B...
-
Now they're doing this segment from the big desk... O_o
-
7:40PM Eastern A&B Tweet alert...discussing "skylines".
-
That was a nice segment they just did at 7:32... their desk position reminds you of when First Outlook moved to the HD studio...

Betty and Sam are moving to mornings! :blink:
I tell you, TWC is barely going to be the same at all come March 2nd. :blink:
And why have I heard that this is going to be a "relaunch"? I thought it was just a schedule change. :dunno:

There is no relaunch, all that is going to happen is a schedule change.

Are they bringing back the logos in the lower third graphics? :blink:

I remember seeing a lower third a while back that had the A&B logo on it, so it's nothing new.
-
No announcements came from Paul and Alexandra, so we are to assume they're not moving to another slot.
-
Hmm, so I also assume that they will be going on at 10:00 PM Eastern right after Steph and Mike.

Exactly. I don't see any reason as of yet to expect otherwise.

Apparently, Jeff Mielcarz, Heather Tesch, Abrams, and Bettes posted their twitter URLs to their bio pages on weather.com
-
Long-form programming at 2 PM CT.
-
Carl and Kim hosting WWC at 3 PM CT.
-
Long-form programming at 2 PM CT.
That's part of the schedule shake up... Long form from 2-5pm ET on the weekend next weekend
"Hello, and welcome to Weather Center. I'm Carl Parker alongside with Kim Perez" :blink: And they're in the PME position, not the WWC position!
-
Guess who was on for Weekend Now? Carl and Kim.
-
Betty and Sam are moving to mornings! :blink:
What? When? Are they moving to Day Planner!? :hmm: I don't like that idea...
-
What? When? Are they moving to Day Planner!? :hmm: I don't like that idea...
They're moving to mornings starting Monday. We don't know what show their moving to, so we're going to have to wait until Monday to find out.

Probably Day Planner. Nicole and Kevin are YWT.
-
Anyone know who was on Weekend Outlook this morning?

Mike Seidel and Samantha Mohr are up next on PME.

OMG!! First Krissy, and now Sharon??? :cry: :cry: :cry: Those were my favorite 2 OCM for as long as I could remember. I could remember back in late July (29th, I think?) 2004 (I do know it was on a Thursday) seeing both Sharon and Krissy (as I often called her in her later years) on PME; Sharon was a fill-in at that time, as well as EE Weekend co-anchor. I loved watching her on EEWC late nights the last few years with Mr. Rich "Yeah, let's do that!" Johnson, until layoffs that claimed the jobs of both Rich and Krissy, and Sharon was moved into her current fill-in spot. Kristina Abernathy and Sharon Resultan were my top 2 OCMs (with J-Lo at #3 'til she left). Anyway, I wish Sharon and her family the very best, and if you want to give a Sharon and/or Kristina moment, you can join my Resultan/Abernathy Fan Cub, which I created back in January 2006. :thumbsup: [link] (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/resultanabernathy_fanclub/?yguid=224929907)

But and yet, another OCM is lost... :(
-
This news and the new schedule changes are going to make March 2009 a very interesting time for TWC.
-
Im going to miss Sharon :cry: :cry:
-
I think this is Sharon's last EEWC... at any rate, so far, in the first six minutes of the broadcast, they had a tornado watch up on the screen that shouldn't be there, and they had a CURRENTLY up on the screen as well.... fail fail fail :hammer:
-
Alex and Heather are on WO this morning. (I really can't stay asleep this morning. :P)
-
Alex and Heather are on WO this morning. (I really can't stay asleep this morning. :P)
4:30 is supposed to be Sunrise Weather and be solo anchored... So far, wrong Lower Thirds colors, wrong name, and no LDL so far! Awesome start to March!

I forgot that was a show, why are they referring to it as WO?

It sounds like they might be calling it WO now, but it doesn't make sense since that should be going away next weekend.

At different times Heather called it WO, but Alex called it SW.

O_o
They just played a rare cut of the 05-08 WO package that I've never heard before!
EDIT: It's the next part of the acoustic theme that I believe we only had a small part of. :blink: :happy:
-
Yeah, I read that on Heather's twitter (about Sharon). Good for Sharon. Maybe she finally realized that TWC is not heading in the direction that she is confortable with, or maybe she just felt it was time for a change. In any way, congrats to her. She will be missed :yes:
-
At least she's leaving for a *good* reason, she didn't get laid off of any sort.
-
The sad part is that she's seemingly an indirect casualty of the crap way that NBC (from what I read out of Heather, it sounds like they're making the moves) messed around with her schedule. :(

I would of done the same thing if I were still working at TWC.
-
Well, here we go. The last hour of the original Weather Center. :(
On a lighter note, the TWC HD bumpers are back after a month-long hiatus.
-
It's Jim Cantore live from Charlotte, NC!
-
O_o TWC just played Storm Alert music going to break.
-
To the people getting snow, ZOMFG THE END OF THE WORLD.
We get three inches here, pfft. They get three inches, oh my God shut everything down.
-
Why is TWC calling this storm the "Northeast Mega-Storm" on the lower bar? The Blizzards of '93 and '96 were at least twice as powerful as this upcoming storm.
-
They said they're actually referring to the word "Megalopolis" instead of "Mega" as in "giagantic".
-
In all my years of watching TWC, I've never heard of a storm referred to that way simply because it was hitting the big cities. :wacko:

You're all proving my point. ;) TWC is trying to hype up this storm through some sly wording. Just about every coastal snowstorm that impacts the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast hits some part of the "Megalopolis". :P
-
I found an article back in January that between January thru March 9, they want to own the whole The Weather Channel, so I don't know what the Earth is going on.

YEA! No Storm Stories!

Nope... it's using A&B's. See promo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF1SxmKwaBs#hq (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF1SxmKwaBs#hq)

Even the one that would air in the place of EE?
What freaking fail if it is. That EE package was so cool....

Most likely. There's no separate promo for that WC block; so I'm assuming so.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wtf wtf... They have Stephanie Abrams live in Boston! I wonder how this will mix in with Weather Center w/A&B tonight...

Carl Parker and Sharon Resultan on Day Planner today.

Is it me, or is there more hairspray on Sharon's hair than there usually is. :thinking:

Sooo...I guess last night wasn't Sharon's finale after all. :thinking:

It might be tomorrow or Wednesday, or maybe some other day. At any rate, it's gonna be unpredictable.

Fifth hour of Day Planner is on with Mike Seidel and light blue graphics.

He's in the old Weather Center position with the map background at the work desk.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wtf wtf... They have Stephanie Abrams live in Boston! I wonder how this will mix in with Weather Center w/A&B tonight...
Yes, I know Steph's at Boston. I got the word this morning. Seems like the storm over there has hit pretty hard.
So I guess Mike will be the only one who will be debuting WC-A&B on his own.

A bastardized version of PM Edition just started at 3pm...

Heather is still on YWT this morning.
Heather had mentioned on her Twitter that she is filling in Monday-Wednesday this week, then again on Monday and Tuesday next week :Yes:

Yep, I saw that. Her new shift of 10AM-2PM Sat-Wed starts this weekend.

Nick and Vivian at 4PM

Nick and Vivian at 4PM
same old PM Edition graphics?

Yep

Holy crap, Viv just showed her age at TWC. Going to the break at 5:24 PM ET, she said "We are weatherproofing America here." :blink:

@_@ Whoa, that requires a TWC archaeologist like Chazz to unearth.

Ooh! Special new lower thirds for Weather Center!

YES! I like them so far! B) B)

For those of you that are interested, I found a site that will let you visit certain websites and allows you to see what they looked like on a given day in a given year. For those of you interested, here's what www.weather.com (http://www.weather.com) looked like in 1996 :bleh: (attached image)
-
I'm liking the special lower 3rds for Weather Center much better than anything I've seen since they went HD. They should do lower 3rds like that for every show...I think they'd look great!
-
Nah, I'd rather have them just for WC. Think about individuality. ;)
-
I'm still hyped up to see what comes about for the 10pm edition of Weather Center...
-
The big desk is in the (formerly) Evening Edition position...
-
I am hyped as well...I'm recording it too.
-
9PM A&BWC title card shot was not 4:3 safe.
-
So we now know that Alex (and probably Paul) will be be in for four hours. 10-1 eastern for regular Weather Center, and then 1-2eastern (and most likely repeated the next two hours) for Weather Center West Coast, with "special west coast segments."
-
Right off the bat, I am highly disappointed. They didn't develop an evening version of the Weather Center graphics and music...

Oh nevermind then, tells you that I didn't catch the opener at 7PM. I thought Jesse was trying to say that the 10PM Weather Center was the same as the 7PM, including the opener.

It's the same opener, with Abrams and Bettes cut out.

It's quite a weak opener, IMO.

It's the same opener, with Abrams and Bettes cut out.
That's what I call cheap. <_<

so far, COVER STORY and the Weather Center graphic that's on all the monitors are NOT 4:3 fail safe graphics...
-
The 10 PM graphics cheap? That's just....well...short.
They should just create the same opener, but instead of the opening presenting Steph and Mike, they should have Paul and Alexandra. (just a thought maybe). :noexpression:
-
So far, the 1am WCWC is off to a fail start. It didn't start on time at 1:00am, thus 2 minutes of Trammell, then Lexi (Paul's nickname for Alex) did a botched teaser. No intro graphic. Once the camera returns to Alex, the shot moved northeast, thus she was off camera. Bright side? The studio colors were finally purple. <_<

Usually, Lexi is short for Alexis.

Really had to tell you this before I got to bed. 11 pm my time...they did it again.
Same as what J.T had said above. They did a fail start once again. Alexandra has mic problems and they had to show the LOT8 again (or Trammel Starks as to what you guys call it). Now everything is fine.
Okay I'm out. :noexpression:

I know, I was like, "What's going on." and I saw that Alex was saying "ok, ok, ok.", and POOF, the radar went on. At 11:02 my time everything was back to normal. I guess you could say it's a fail. :P, but I caught it.

Looks like PME is the new home for Vivian and Nick. They are on again today.

I liked Betty on PME. As for Sam, that's a different story.
-
I'm just glad Vivian and Nick are together again. They made a great pairing when they were on WC last summer. Betty and Sam were pretty good too. IMO, they are better fit on DP and WN.

I definitely agree about Samantha Mohr...she needs to go!!!!! :hammer:

They're not deemed "original" OCMs... When he says "original OCM" he means ones that were there when the network launched May 2, 1982... Of those, Bill Kineely and Mark Mancuso were the two...

Does anyone know if Dwight Milliner still works at the control room? When does he work? I haven't heard much LF music being played lately. I know that was something he used to do a lot during the last few months of the BWTL era.

Samantha tries too hard to fit in, and have a personality. I really don't think she is herself. Then again, I don't know her personality at all, but she always seems uncomfortable. She sometimes stumbles over words as well.

Bill Keneely and Carl Parker on Wednesday Day Planner. Those two work together well with most anyone they are partnered with. Seems odd that they are dismantling the Bill and Kelly team after several years on Weekend View. How long til we see Julie Martin at the wall and on set as an OCM?

ok, so during the 8:40 segment of WC with A&B, Mike and Julie are in a set that looks like one that Forecast Earth used a lot...theyre standing in front of a flat screen TV...this combined with the other shots they've done in the old building are interesting to say the least...I guess we haven't seen the last of the old building lol :bleh:

Alex also called the show Weekend View once today. I have a feeling there were some internal plans to rename those hours to Weekend View, but they haven't come through...yet. Either the plan's dead, or they're waiting to see if renaming the early hours to Weekend View helps ratings at all. :hmm:

Wow, they're doing PME from the EE position using the EE colors for the studio. O_o

They've also brought back the pre-recorded PME teasers going to break; I haven't seen that in ages! :blink:

Did they actually say they've never worked together before? I find it hard to believe that Siedel has never worked with Bill after all those years at TWC.
Remember, after Kim Perez moved off of First Outlook (a show Siedel NEVER filled in on), Kim and Mike worked together on Weekend Now. Mike said something like "I'm Mike Siedel along with Kim Perez, working together for the first time since the 90s. And we know why we haven't worked together in so long - we have too much fun."
-

Yep, that's a Weather Star XL. That's only the second EVER clip of TWC Latin America I've seen, and it's the first clear one from the Brazilian variant. There are files talking about patches to an XL Latin American version.
And Trammell Starks!?

I think it's safe to say that PM Edition Weekend will now be in the EE position for the foreseeable future along with recorded teasers at :06.

I LOVE WEEKEND WEATHER CENT,ER! (That's what this show is called, right?) ;) This is awesome. Bill Kneeley rocks and he rocks late at night...not confined to fluffy day planner. He is smart, artlculate, personable, and insightful which is so appreciated and becoming rarer (I'm looking at you, Sam Mohr).
Do we know if Mike Seidel will join him every weekend? That's the only way this could better. Even if he doesn't I'll still be happy. Having an actual live broadcast later at night is so refreshing; especially since this is when I'd watch the most. :biggrin:

Of course it's called Weekend Weather Center (well my guide calls it Weather Center but screw my guide). Mike and Bill are doing just fine in my opinion. It has been a long time since I've seen Bill.

Bill just said: "Mike and I will see you again next weekend"
I believe it's safe to say that Bill and Mike are the anchors of Weekend Weather Center on the weekends.
Also Mike Seidel is heading out to Billings(?), North Dakota tomorrow and will do a live report on Tuesday.

I have a strong suspicion that Mike is only on this shift because Sharon resigned. When they penciled out the new schedule, they probably had her teamed with Bill on this shift. By the time she turned in her resignation, the schedule was set.
Also, I'm guessing that Bill is on this shift because they want him to do what Carl Parker was doing - the primary substitute on the weekday primetime shows. Parker has a 4 day a week gig in the midday now - not available for fill in work without a lot of rejiggering.

Well, they canned EEKEND OUTLOO, so they had to have a replacement. :P

Well that was awkward... The Weather Center West Coast show started late, and once it started, it was awkward. Paul was like "welcome back to weather center" I'm like "what an awkward way to start the show"...

it seems like a lot of the maps have been altered...the temperature and precip maps especially, but the others too, in fact I am seeing many many similarities(other than the text boxes and the title bars) between these maps and the pre-HD maps...hmmm :thinking:
-
All I can say is: :sick:
They look a lot like the 2006-2008 ones, which I never liked. And those HUGE indicators make it look very cluttered.

Back to using the "standard" Planner maps at 5:20 PM ET.

Ew. I hope those were just temporary, because I don't like them. I actually do like the maps they've been using since the HD launch...

Wow, they're showing a Climate Quiz! Haven't seen that since before the HD relaunch...

They've aired like five or six today.

Yeah...it was a mess on Tuesday again. Trammell at the top of hour 1, PME for the Weekly Planner, and DP music going to breaks.

I believe they'll both still going to be on WWC. They're most likely going to split the shift. Bill said something along the "bookends" of the show, him being After Dark, and Mike before dawn?

Mike was probably just temporary anyways. I imagine Sharon was originally penciled into that slot, then she quit.
I'd expect to see a Ryan Goswick/Warren Madden appearance somewhere on the weekend schedule to provide a second OCM for that slot.
-
I'd imagine first priority goes to having someone to fill in for Adam on PME; I'd certainly imagine he's still in Vegas.
Having and extra person to host WWC seems kinda optional to me since it's late at night and not a very important broadcast. I guess we'll see what happens.

I was able to enhance the image on the TV monitor...it is indeed a .com forecast, the map title bar gives it away... :yes: as to where it was filmed, you got me, maybe by the old A&B set? I thought they did the .com forecasts in front of the chroma wall in the studio :hmm: guess not

Also, Jeff Mielcarz is doing both the morning and evening weather.com forecasts today for his last day, according to his Twitter.

Jeff left!?
You mean you haven't heard that today was his final day??? He's been twittering about his leave since last week.

Jim now calls Your Weather Today "Y-W-T" like he called Evening Edition "E-E" or the "Double E"
-
so I guess no Weekly Planner at 20 after...they did it at 15 past i think O_o...maybe to make room for the live shot at 20 past?
-
I...uh...just got a tweet from TWCWeekends that Heather and Adam are going to be on Day Planner.
That's...a...little odd?

Yeah Adam is on Day Planner with Heather. Saw them this morning. :)

New Notify! commercial with Cantore.

New Notify! commercial with Cantore.
Dosen't looks new to me. It's was added 4-2 weeks ago.

Is anyone here using the Notify! service from TWC? I've seen it advertised a lot over the years, so I was just curious.

well, to be honest, I don't really need to use the service because NOTHING happens in El Centro (where I live).
-
So, we indeed do have full preemption as Weekend Now rolls on (with the Day Planner set configuration) with Adam and Ryan.
And they just aired a blue bar of doom saying:
RED RIVER
FLOODINGRIV
They took it down right away. :P
-
I saw that. :lol: :bleh:

Occasionally some interesting weather happens here, but I am just about always at the computer with my TV on when something does end up happening, even if it is overnite. So, it is an extra few dollars a month I don't need to spend.

Bullpen is running REALLY dry now...who's left?
Kim Perez
Steph Abrams

So, who hosts YWT now? Is it just Kevin, Nicole, and Jim?

:blink: :blink: :blink: This is not my typical weekend.

Their placement of OCM's reminds me of what they (used to) do in Storm Alert Mode. Random OCM's would go at the most unusual times.

Alexandra Steele and Nicole Mitchell on the 8 PM ET hour of PME.
What a odd pairing BTW.

Why is it bad Peacock is producing the show now? All long form productions will be done by them (it only makes sense)...
And, personally, I think the episodes produced by them were a put together a lot better than the episodes by Towers and Atlas. Even the ads and cross-promotional spots are nicer than before.

No, I'm assuming it was a custom job. BTW, they don't even use it on FO anymore, just every now and then for the YWT Planner opener.

Even though Nicole is back, Kevin is still tieless. It looks like this might be a permanent thing...I guess we'll see.

It also sounds like Nicole Mitchell has caught the Mike Bettes bug. :(
Jim Cantore also appears to be gone. Maybe he'll join Paul tonight for WC if Bill has to host extended DP from 2-4 PM ET?

They might preempty FFN and ICHT due to the severe outbreak.

It was first used yesterday. If you hop over to the Front Porch (https://twctodayforums.com/forums/index.php/topic,4.msg91759.html#msg91759) there is some discussion about it. Not sure why it wasn't originally posted here (on in the HD discussion forum).
-
FYI - the technical term is LDA (Left Display Area). ;)
-
Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't do that from the get-go. TWC really doesn't have content that really benefits from HD (except long-form), so it makes sense to go with a LDA (similar to what CNBC HD, Fox News HD use).
Opens up some really neat possibilities for the STAR HD (use a left display line as opposed to a lower, and have a radar, etc).
-
I agree. I really like ESPNews HD's format, with an L-bar type of setup. Really gives all the information in a nice fashion.

Betty is subbing for Jeff this morning, which means we'll see Adam or Kim on DP this morning.

Jen and Betty on FO this morning O_o

Get rid of my favorite, Nicole??? NO way.
She has the brains, experience, Hurricane Hunter experience, and not bad to look at at all.
Definitely an asset to TWC.

I agree 100% with both statements. Carl is great since he share facts randomly that I never knew before. Vivian is ok, and yes, Nicole is an asset to TWC.
-
Please explain to me how Nicole is an asset to TWC? :unsure: OK, she's a hurricane hunter, but what does that have to do with TWC? Yeah, she reports about the hurricanes, but they have Dr. Steve Lyons for that. So, please do explain how she is an asset, because I really can't see it.
I am sure TWC would survive without her :P. Maybe I am a little bias because I don't enjoy her on-air performance, but I just dont see her as an asset.

Wow, apparently this episode of Surviving the Elements that's airing right now is using the 2003-2004 daytime lower thirds.
Was Surviving the Elements even in production back then? I don't recall seeing it until early 2006.

Yeah, that's the only time new episodes were produced. These (and the ones you saw in 2006) are repeats of that.

I never said she should be fired, I just said they would survive without her. As in when, and if she leaves, they won't go down the tubes. ;)

Nick and Vivian are in at 3 PM ET.

They're really taking this outbreak seriously (as they should be). They're on a Storm Alert-like schedule. They started to play ICHT at 2 PM ET, then they quickly cut away with continued coverage bringing in Dr. Forbes. After ten minutes, they went back to ICHT. Then at 2:30 PM, they went preempted ICHT again and continuing to go live. Strangely they're still using the long-form program schedule with one-minute LFs at :29 and :59, and using the L-bar for the other LFs.

I wish TWC would just flat out say they're in "Storm Alert" today just to promote the seriousness of this severe weather outbreak. :unsure:

I think it's cool. It's pretty unique. They should do one when hurricane season comes. :yes:

Me neither. :no: It doesn't look like an "HD" title bar.

Apparently, a new LOT8's intro was released just this morning. It is great video of hail coming down in what looks like a farm yard.

Is this new side-bar thing on all the time now, and will is possibly replace the LDL? :dunno:
(This could be an outrageous statement...sorry if it is.)
-
No, AFAIK it won't replace the LDL, right now its just for HD viewers, and an HD LDL is in the works.
My concern is, is TWC HD no longer in widescreen? It can't be with that sidebar in the way.
-
It's not. The studio feed is 4:3 now.
-
It's not. The studio feed is 4:3 now.
Why? :blink: Did something happen to the cameras? :unsure:

No, they just think having the sidebar is more important. They make the studio feed 4:3 in order to make it fit.
-

Complete BS if you ask me. I thought one of the major points and advantages of having HD is a wider view. The sidebar ruins the purpose of that.
-
But to you really always need a wide view of the studio? I don't think so. Most viewers would rather have the weather info.

It appears as though there is yet another new intro. It is the same one going through the clouds as we saw last fall and again in March, but set to different music. I just saw a part of it, but not the whole thing since it was cut off.

Does anyone know exactly when the :20 and :50 segments were split to two segments? I know not too long ago (like 3-4 years ago) the Weekly Planner and Storm Watch were 5-6 minutes long with no commercial breaks.
-
AFAIK, they were split into two segments for all shows starting with the 2003 relaunch. Then in May 2007, they changed DP, WC, PME, A&B, and WO to have the extended segment at :20 and :50 again. A&B switched back to the split-segment format in May 2008 just before the relaunch.

Since yesterday, they have been pushing the Infrared Satellite imagery through the Titan HD machine. They've had Titan |HD| titlebars and it's still utilized this morning... It really doesn't make the satellite look real in my opinion...

Im pretty sure my new favorite team is Vivian Brown and Nick Walker. I look forward to coming home and watching them from 3-3:30 each day :P. Thats pretty much the only time I watch TWC, and they are great!

SS was preemptied for a short time at 11:00 PDT due to severe weather in Houston. I have a feeling they might do it again. IMO, can they just preempty the show whole? :noexpression:

That block is PM Edition now. They've also brought back the dark blue lower thirds that Evening Edition used. Nice to see those back, but they don't match too well with the PME's graphics.

At the start of the 11:50 PM ET segment, they played the music used in this 2002 Lifestyles segment.
-
Carl's back on Weekend Now, and he's matching Heather by wearing a red tie for the first time is a long time. :P
Also, it looks like the key light over the left seat of the little desk might be out; Carl looks ridiculously dark when he sits there.

Ryan Goswick and Kim Perez on PM Edition, meaning Adam most likely will be doing PMEWWC again tonight.

Oh no...the green logo is back! :fire: :P

Sorry for a double post, but a Severe Weather Update with Samantha Moore just interrupted It Could Happen Tomorrow.

Well, coming in from the 12:08 AM EDT LF, TWC played a production track that sounded a lot like "Blues For Brother George" by Archie Shepp. And, Adam Berg commented on one particular person, who apparently had a 'belly'....... :wacko:

Hmm, they didn't show a report from the NASDAQ today on the Business Barometer, it was just Kim who gave the report.

At the top of the hour, Kim and Jeff discussed a) Kim being a First Outlook veteran, b) Jen is returning Thursday, c) Kim will be filling in again tomorrow.
-
I just checked my Zap2It guide for the heck of it, and apparently Epic Conditions and WeatherVentures returns to the long-form block starting Monday, May 4th. Do they have another special week planned, or might TWC just be switching things up because FFN and ICHT is getting old?
-
Again: rerun-abusing non-HD content when you have HD content sitting on the shelf can't be a good thing. They could easily do:
Storm Stories @ 2
ICHT/FFN @ 2:30
WeatherVentures @ 3
Epic Conditions @ 3:30
...and everything wins.
-
Well, the even sillier part is that when these shows air on May 4th, apparently the second hour will be the exact same as the first. I guess they're acknowledging the fact that people don't stay tuned to TWC for very long at a time.
-
WeatherVentures returning? Even if Jeff Mielcarz is not with TWC anymore??? :blink:
I hope they are new episodes....
-

Most likely not. I don't recall any new episodes of Weather Ventures premiering since at the latest early 2008. It also has not been a regular series (on at scheduled times daily or weekly) for most of 2008 and through 2009 thus far.

It's for Great Escapes Week, which is scheduled to air the week of May 3-9.
BTW, why do they very seldom play the music to the openers for any of the shows other than YWT, PM Edition, and Weather Center? Instead, they just play production music over it.
-
No, they're all gonna be rehashed old episodes.
As for the openers, it's a shame. The DP theme is pretty much dead and never used now; same goes for Weekend Now. :(

uhhh.... I'm thinking they may be on some sort of storm schedule today.... Kim is in for Mike today, so someone's filling in for her on PM Edition...
-
It's not a storm schedule. Last week Mike said this was a planned vacation, and sadly, Ray just so happens to be off as well.
-
Today's Surviving the Elements episode on Duststorms is hosted by Nick Walker.

Adam Berg and Warren Madden on PME weekend today

What time did TWC's logo change back to blue? I want to make sure I caught my Weatherscan rebooting.
-

I am not sure, but I can check when I get home this evening :)
-
It changed right at midnight. At least on the HD feed that I was watching, they broke for commercial at around 11:55 and it was green but once the Lot8s started it was blue.
-
Wow, they actually used Day Planner music for the DP opener at 11 AM CT! :blink: (Wasn't the normal theme, but at least they used DP music.)
EDIT: Normal DP music for the opener at 12 PM CT. :D
-
And there's your normal opener music right there!
-
could we? MAYBE, just maybe, be starting to use the custom-made teaser music again!? :thrilled:
-
Now with that opener, they started to play one of the alternate DP themes, but it played simultaneously with the production music that was already playing, so they just shut the DP music off.
-
wow.LOn PME, They just showed a bar above the L3rd that had the Twitter logo, and then it said Twitter at twitter.com/PMEdition. Never seen that before!!! (hopefully get a pic soon if they show it again).
-
The Logo changed at 12:00:01, I caught it on Weatherscan.
-

How long will TWC's logo stay blue this time? I would hope until next Earth Day at the earliest.

It's just that I'm so used to seeing TWC's logo being blue as it's always been that way, and my favorite color is blue. I don't mind green, but I just prefer blue better. B)

My favorite color is green..but the logo is always blue...and the logo is tooooooo bright!!!!!
-
It's scheduled to go green again this November. I agree, that it should be a bit darker, but that would mean that the logos for all the other NBC-owned channels would have to be darker too.
-
Hmmmmm, there's apparently going to be some sort of announcement at 7:30ish.... :thinking:
-
It's sad news... A&B is (possibly?) coming to an end this summer... "Wake up with Al" is coming this Summer to TWC, we knew somehow Al would be coming to the weather channel... It's been hinted that it would be 6am-7am... Stephanie would be in Atlanta, Al would be in New York.
(http://copper.yi.org/wsl/wuwa.jpg)
-
Well...we don't know for sure it's gone...maybe they'll scale it back to 1 or 2hrs and couple it with long-form.
But it sure looks like the death of A&B.
-
:thinking: Interesting? I don't know if this is a good thing or not.
-
:thinking: Interesting? I don't know if this is a good thing or not.
I can't decide either....... :thinking:
This is the first I found out about this :blink:
-
Also, TWC had a little problem with the Left Display Line last night. I was surprised when I put on TWC shortly after 2 AM, an hour after my modem (allows me to use internet, phone) randomly decided to stop working. Anyway, part of the Left Display Line was appearing on the left side of the screen. I got recordings of it. It was fixed by the time I woke up this morning.
-
Heather Tesch filling in for Vivian Brown on PME today.

Well, here is my messed-up video of the [HD] Left Display Line on the [SD] feed :P

I guess he is. he's on with Adam Berg right now.
-
I guess he is. he's on with Adam Berg right now.
Yea that is not something I am happy with. :club: Its nothing against him really.. Just they got rid of all the previous OCMs only to hire him?

Wow, at the end of Day Planner, they're doing a preview with Nick Walker of what's to come up later on PM Edition.
-
I guess he is. he's on with Adam Berg right now.

They didn't hire him; they just transferred him from the defunct WeatherPlus.

I saw the artical about it published in my newspaper's entertainment section today. Could this be the end of Your Weather Today?
-
It's going to be on during the timeslot before Your Weather Today, so I don't foresee anything happening to YWT. First Outlook, on the other hand, will be the show that takes a hit from this.
-
Al Roker just did a live segment from the Kentucky Derby on TWC at :37, and it ran until :39. I guess TWC has to preempt everything just for Al.

Mike Bettes was with Betty and Adam on DP just to talk about Vortex2.

Yeah he was also on YWT!! :dance:

Well, just thought I would make this point:
I am sure by now that everyone knows this, but I just wanted to point out that tomorrow is TWC's 27th since it's first launch! I think we all agree it climbed a mountain and then fell right back down :bleh:
-
Sorry for the double post, but I have NEVER seen a Kentucky Derby ad on TWC! (And yes, I know NBC now owns them which is why the ad played)

I don't remember them mentioning their anniversary other than in 2002 and 2007. Although during their last SD broadcast Vivian did mention that they've been broadcasting in SD for 26 years.

Well, some OCM is bound to mention it at some point somewhere. No one mentioning TWC's 27th is like no one wishing you a Happy Birthday when it is your birthday.

Wow, it took me 3 times to read that and understand it (the First sentence) I thought it said" I don't remember them mentioning it in 2002 and 2007". dur duh dur :doh:
I wouldn't think they would make mention of it. It's just 27..haha
-
Maybe when they reach 30, they will celebrate on air.

Huh.
They're running Surviving the Elements: Tornado. Alexandra just came on and said that in a sturdy building or in a ditch is the best place to be.
Erm....

They're not using the side room today on FO. They did the :10 Travel segment from the monitor on the right side of the big desk, and they did the :55 segment from in front of the video wall. I wonder if something's wrong in the side room.

Yeah, that is odd. I am beginning to think she was not laid off, but became one of those "fill-ins", in that she will always be there when TWC needs her. So, she really did not get laid off. As to why TWC is having Natalie report as opposed to one of the many other people they have to do field reporting, I do not know. :dunno: :wacko:
-
It seems that they're having Natalie Allen doing what Julie Martin used to do. Since there's no more "Forecast Earth" for her to host, they're having her do other stuff (like field reporting), which was Julie Martin's job. Julie Martin seems to now be frequenting weather.com forecasts more often.

They're using the old style Mother's Day openers, with the old TWC 4 tone chime from 2003-2008!
-
Wow, I like this Mother's Day LF intro! I'm glad TWC decided to do away with the openers with the still people in them (like the one used for last Thanksgiving). I didn't care much for those.
-
Since when did Weekend Now used the On The Radar segment? I thought that was exclusive to Weather Center...

22329 is being buggy right now. It won't cue a single Local Forecast, but it will do anything else TWC wants it to do.

Hmm, it is May ratings period. So, maybe if TWC sees that in the middle of the month, Your Weather Today ratings are a little higher, they will put Heather back on YWT? :thinking: Doubt it..but it's a thought.

I assume that also means that Jim is off tomorrow as well since normally he and Kevin would anchor with Nicole just being gone for a day.

There's reason to believe the right panel on the video wall is about to go... It's darker than the rest of the wall, to the point where it's near impossible to read what's on the right side of the wall... the Center panel fades, which could signify it could be going soon also. Green Screens soon anyone?

But according to Jim's tweet in reply to Billy, he only mentioned Alex. so I am wondering...is Paul still on the "old EE" Team? I may have to tweet Jim about this. I'm still not sure about WCWC, even though I may think one of the new OCMs might go for it. :noexpression:
BTW, July 20th...isn't that a bit late? :hmm:
Oh and did you know that TWC and weather.com have share their own Facebook page?

To quote Jims tweet to me... "I promise you this has been the wildest shift ride in the history of TWC." I certainly agree

I agree as well, now we're feeling the pain of an OCM. :hmm:

Wonder who will fill Alexander's place though. Nobody I asked seems to know so I wonder if its still undecided :thinking:

I got a bit of a problem. Since 3:00 PM EDT or so, I turn on TWC and I notice it is black. However, the sound is working fine. Could this be a problem with TWC, or just my headend receiving the video feed?

Well, I am back over in Lansing so I can mow the lawn, and feed the animals before I go up north tomorrow. I turned on TWC at 7:17 PM EDT, and everything was fine and working properly. I am curious as to whether this has been fixed or not, whether this happened in Lansing or not, etc.......

Sooo this week I am guessing they started off Tornado week: State of Chaos. And BEWARE: Two long hours of Tornadoes and Al Roker today starting at 2 PM EDT.

If anyone even watched the two hours of tornado programming and Al Roker today, how was it? I wasn't able to see it, but I'm wondering if I even missed anything.

I guess this is TWC news.... According to Kelly Cass's twitter, They're tearing down the old studio to the bare walls... Meaning, byebye backdrop... bye bye Global Forecast Center... bye bye OCM cubbies.... Kelly mentions that they do their prepping in the old Weekend View room now.... :blink: Wonder how long until that room goes too.

Ok so I've been reading some tweets from you guys made to YWT, and I just wonder, If Jim and Alex are on the 7-10 slot of WC, then, Nicole will take Alex's place on the 10-1 slot on YWT? IMO, I think thats way too much for Jim.

Nobody knows yet... And we also don't know who will take Jen's place during maternity leave, or if anyone else is moving around.
-
My guess is that Kim Perez will probably take Jen's place while she's gone since Kim used to be on FO...I don't know for sure,though..
-
I'm not watching TWC much these days but just randomly tuned in and...
a. Alexandra Steele looks SMOKING HOT tonight. I mean she always has been attractive but she looks drop dead gorgeous tonight. Damn.
b. I like this Todd Santos dude. He still seems a little nervous but he seems to show a little personality which is a good thing.
That is all.

IMO, Todd is getting there!

I'm thinking they'll just have one of the Day Planner/Weekend OCM's sub for Jen. That's how it was with Marshall for a few months until Kevin started working YWT everyday. Kim isn't one of them, she's on the evening shift now.

Scott has only done the show twice over the past three weekends; it's been Alex Wallace every other day. I'm assuming it's just regular time off for Alex.

It seems as though they are avoiding the big desk at all costs today during YWT... They aren't doing any shots there whatsoever... they're anchoring from the little desk today.

Edit: Now they're playing new LOT8s SS openers, another one just now played as an avalanche. I wonder if the annoying tornado SS themes are still being played.

Ah I see! Thanks :)

The Left Display Area just appeared briefly on the SD feed.

I hate to be rude, but IMO there's too much "junk" on the screen while watching live TWC now. :thumbdown: I didn't realize the blue bar at the bottom that shows conditions for certain places or explains stuff was always going to be present. :no: In addition, if you watch TWC in HD, there's that darn LDA on the side too. I guess it may be helpful to some people, but the blue bar and LDA are very distracting. :wacko:

/me raises her hand that she agrees with Andy.
There are some pointless stuff on the LDA that don't mean to be there.

Oh no worries, you are not being rude to anyone at all. In fact, I too agree with you. While I like how the Blue LDL integrates all that information together, I am just fine with the SD daze and the black bar. I am glad I don't get the LDA, and the Blue Bar is WAY too much for me.

*Felix agreed with Andy* I don't watch live TWC anymore unless of that BBOD goes away. I never like it. 30 seconds is enough, but more than a minutes of showing it is too much. What a stupid idea to add those pieces of crap.

What's this? TWC is actually playing "Colortones", a daytime song, at 3:59. What happened to primetime music?

Well, TWC always plays primetime music at :59 past during long form (during the day). This case though, they didn't :blink:

WTF...Jeff Morrow pulled a double shift today and did this morning's weather.com video forecasts as well. I guess TWC is shorthanded on a WEDNESDAY of all days, when the most OCMs are working out of all of the days of the week. Kim Perez, who would normally do that morning forecast, is still off. Todd and/or Samantha should have been available, but I'm assuming one of them is going to be filling in for Alexandra still tonight.
Bill Keneely is doing the evening weather.com forecasts for tonight.

It seems they have retired the old On the Radar logo....

It's not as bad as "WEATHER DOT .COM 24/8" or the fact they sometimes say "15 POINT 8" instead of "15.8"

Lots of typos keep showing up on those lower third graphics for some reason. :hmm:

They spelled MULTI wrong. I've been seeing so much typos as well.

Wow, yet another nice shot!

Are they doing the OCM switch next Monday or the 22nd as planned? at the end of A&B they made it sound like they're doing it on Monday when they're not...

They said the switchover was 6/22 on their Twitter page.

I see they didn't do the Weekly Planner for the final two hours of Weekend View today, instead opting for live reports. Is NBC starting to drop the Weekly Planner from all shows or something? If so, they might as well just stop operating under the farce of a weather network and start calling themselves a weather news network or something since they're rapidly evolving into a news network and moving away from actual weather. Now they're even starting to report on stuff that doesn't even involve weather at all. Just merge the damn network with MSNBC and get it over with.

Just like yesterday during DP, they were doing a live report on George H.W. Bush jumping out of a plane for his 85th birthday. WTH does that have to do with the severe weather that was coming my way?

wtf? That's not even weather at all. NBC has brainwashed TWC big time. Now they think the weekly planner is not that important anymore.

TWC's :rofl2: Al Roker is on NBC's coverage of the US Open and he keeps saying how the rain is going to pick up within the next hour. The funny part is that the radar picture shows the rain continuously breaking up and decreasing in intensity as it moves towards the golf course. It's really obvious, yellow and reds rapidly decreasing to greens. But Al's "forecast" remains the same, for the rain to turn to heavier thunderstorms within the next hour. The funniest part is that Johnny Miller, NBC's lead golf analyst, just called him out on it and said he gave Roker "a bogey for that forecast" since he sees that all the yellows and reds are disappearing.
I know Roker doesn't have to do much meteorology at all, but you'd think he'd at least be able to read a radar loop?? It's really elementary.

He doesn't have a degree in meteorology, which bothers me how and why he is coming to TWC.

To be fair (and I'm not defending Roker in any way here), there have been plenty of personalities in TWC's past who didn't have meteorology degrees.

Thats certainly true. Its dissapointing though they are going to show him as someone who gets good ratings rather than someone who does the weather well

No, that was in late 2004. Alexandra was just filling in for Jen at that point. Jennifer returned to the show after her leave, but Alexandra would later get the EE shift permanently in March 2005.

Speaking of that, will TWC have a "Why I Love Summer Week?" :dunno: I guess it couldn't be this week because "Hurricane Week" is this week. IMO, TWC has too many "special" weeks, such as Hurricane Week, Tornado Week, WeatherReady Week, Why I Love __ Week, etc. :wacko:

Why I Love Summer Week is scheduled for mid-July. I guess you can thank you know who for those special weeks. TWC didn't have nearly as many as an private network.

I know this isn't that important but this has bugged me... has anyone noticed whenever they show a three lined lower third on the 11PM PM Edition, the first line is the brighter blue used in the daytime lower thirds?

Here we are. That crash actually sounds "manufactured" to me.......

I'm pretty sure that sound was supposed to go w/ the headline opener that failed to show until near the end of the video.

I bet it was a sound effect. The producers must have pressed that sound button by accident.
-
I recognize that sound; it's the Breaking News sound effect. :P

That's what I was immediately thinking, but I just came up with a different theory- I would imagine that only Kelly's microphone was on with no other sound recording was ongoing, and her microphone picked up the sound if it was indeed something being broken in the background, in a strange way.
-
It's the Breaking News sound. :P

It's the Breaking News sound. :P
I recognize that sound effect, too. Do we really need that many sound effects on TWC?

Yeah..the CHA-CHING, the YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY (kids cheering), etc. :bleh: :bleh:
-
Yeah, that's kind of a weird sound effect to use with an opener. Why not bring back the three-tone chime? IMO, that would match good with the opener.

Here's a better idea: Why don't they just abandon the sound effects altogether and go back to focusing on the musical themes? I can't recall hearing any sound effects during the 1990s and early 2000s on TWC. They weren't needed as the musical segments were outstanding by themselves.

Is NBC planning yet another green week? I just saw a 5 second bumper immediately following the 9:58 PM EDT LF.

According to TWCMediaKit, the next green week isn't until November. :unsure:

Hm, shows you how much I watch TWC this time of day. :P I haven't seen a Lifestyles graphic since early last year.

Has anyone ever noticed that ever since WC debuted in HD, the map background for the little desk isn't as deeply blue as it was when A&B relaunched in HD?
A&B:
(http://g.imagehost.org/0826/maps.png)
WC:
(http://g.imagehost.org/0798/maps2.png)
notice the lack of detail and brightness.... I wonder if it was accent lighting or if they decided to just change something... I liked it better when A&B relaunched.
-
Looked much better when A&B launched :yes:
-
From what I'm guessing, the maps were LED lights themselves, just like the map in the original A&B studio. Not sure how they burned out within only a few months of use, but it seems like they did indeed burn out since the right panel went out first, then the center panel only a few weeks later, and then several weeks later, the left panel finally went out.
-
I thought that map seemed to be getting dimmer with time, but I had no idea it had dimmed out by that much! :blink:
-
Heather and Kelly on Day Planner today.
-
Wow, I can't believe that dumb movie Ice Age is actually being advertised on TWC. I am so sick and tired of the advertisements for that movie. Now they are doing a Local Forecast Sponsor for it, and it has a motion ad, which is so annoying. I didn't realize money was THAT important to TWC.
-
Do the weather.com forecasts update three times a day now? When I checked the weather yesterday around lunchtime, Mike Bettes was doing the forecasts. Then when I checked late in the afternoon it was Mark Elliot, then again late in the evening Paul Goodloe was doing the forecasts.

Yes, I am pretty sure it is 3 times a day. Usually, at least on TWC itself, the forecasts update around 10:30 AM and PM (give or take an hour or less) and I see them update around 3 PM EDT.
-
I thought they used to update it only twice; in the morning and again around the evening rush.
-

That's what I always thought as well, but I have noticed updates lately during the afternoon long form.
-
Well, does anyone know if TWC was covering that Tornado Warning in Hillsborough County this morning that lasted from 7:45 AM ET to 8:15 AM ET? I couldn't watch because I needed to pay attention to local stations on the status of it.
-
I just saw a BREAKING NEWS bar just now on PME.
I hate that bar so much. I don't really care what gonna happen in Africa.

So why wouldn't they change the lights? :blink: Too much trouble? :unsure: Because there really is a HUGE difference. :yes:
-
They also haven't replaced that Vortex2 backdrop behind the TWC logo screen with the regular blue backdrop.

Yeah, they've advertised several movies in the past.

New 4th of July sponsor graphic and opener is here as of this evening.

Wow, TWC just showed a CBS News report! That was unexpected...
-
Wow, TWC just showed a CBS News report! That was unexpected...
TWC has been showing a lot of "news" stuff lately that may not necessarily be related to the weather (although they manage to find some way to make the connection). :thinking: I'm guessing this is all thanks to you know who. :unsure:
-
That wasn't why I posted that, I was pointing out the fact that they used a CBS News report when TWC is an NBC-owned channel. I figured TWC would be relying on solely NBC stuff by now. Before tonight, I haven't seen a CBS report since like October.

I guess I shouldn't have replied to your post. I was trying to point out something different but both misled you and misunderstood you. My bad. :blushing:
-
TWC just had a timing error. The :10 segment abruptly cut off at :14 without any awareness of the cut-off by the OCMs. The TWC ad aired at :15, and the LDA cut into that ad on the HD feed. The LF ran at :16, with the Planner starting at :18 and the segment ending at :21. They extended the Business Barometer segment at :23 by adding some forecasts after it to get back on track time-wise. (allowing the segment to run until :25, the normal out time for the segment)
-
Adam and Kelly on Day Planner.
-
I see TWC took the Al Roker link off of http://www.weather.com/tv/personalities/ (http://www.weather.com/tv/personalities/) since they didn't even have his bio or even a picture of him ready. I wonder when he'll pop back up on there again.
-
Baby float recall... yeah, that's a good topic to talk about on The WEATHER Channel. :rolleyes:
-
Wow, TWC just showed a CBS News report! That was unexpected...
Also just now, they showed video from WSEE-TV in Erie, a CBS affiliate. Seems NBC is letting TWC have a little more individuality. :thinking:
-
They've recently had a feed from KDKA too. No biggie there.
-
CBS News? Thats interesting. Would have expected a CBS affiliate but not that

They've been using reports from all networks. But their contracts with non-NBCs might be forced into nonrenewal.

I...uh...Mike Sidel and *Nick Walker* on early Weekend View.

soooo.... is Weekend View going to permanently going to use the new YWT lower thirds or is it a fluke? Speaking of which, Carl is in for Betty today, so could we see Alex Wallace on Weekend Now?
-

they may be transitioning into using the new lowerthird for every show (with it's own identity [colors/logo]), usually lowerthird errors such as the one above are fixed within the the next hour. idk it's what i think, probably won't happen.

You may be on to something there...the new Lower 3rds seem more "NBC-esque" compared to the "old" ones from the HD relaunch
-
Uhhh guys, it looks like "Bringing Weather To Life" may be coming back :blink:
-
Here's another page with it:
-
And here's the final capture I grabbed, although I've seen it on a lot of other pages. The biggest clue that it may be coming back is the fact it appeared on the TV homepage
-
If they were planning on bringing it back, I'm sure we'd of seen it somewhere on an on-air promo by now.
-
I think that's always been on weather.com pages, hasn't it? :dunno: The darn website people probably just never removed it, even though the slogan has been gone for awhile.
-
Yeah, that has always been there since they renovated the site early last year, but it's only on certain pages, and it's just the plain default text instead of Interstate or whatever it was on air. I doubt it will be brought back.
-
This is true...still if it is going to be brought back, I'd prefer it over "We Own The Weather" :thumbdown: which just sounds arrogant

Can someone explain to me why they used the 2007 First Day of Spring music for the first story in today's teaser: weather for the memorial of Michael Jackson. Of all times to use happy music on a DP teaser, that didn't seem like an appropriate time to use it.

Nicole announced that she will be on 7PM Weather Center tomorrow and Thursday as well, and Day Planner on Friday.

Does anyone have a screenshot of what the 2005 YWT LIVE tag looked like? I can't remember ever seeing it, as this tag was short lived.
-
Hmm, they played that production music while they were showing Steph in Al's studio. Pretty annoying, imo
-
Nicole mentioned that she will be on Day Planner today, but according to her wxcenter twitter, it "turns out" that she has the day off and headed to Military duty early.
-
Does Day Planner not do twittering anymore? I ask b/c there hasn't been any tweets posted there since April.
-

I know...and FO haven't tweeted that much either...I guess it's because Jen does the twittering and she's on leave.

Alex in for Vivian today on PME.
-
idk if he's still gonna be on early WV 2morrow morning....
-
I didn't even know Alex works this late, I thought his shift is mornings now.
-
The promos for Wake Up with Al are actually funny, especially the long one that includes Meredith Vieira, Jim Cramer, and Jimmy Fallon.
On the flipside, it will be the exhibit promo of the year in how NBC's hand in management has changed the channel.
It also reminds me that TWC is not just owned by NBC but by two private equity firms (Blackstone and Bain).

Yes, they were both on PM Edition a week or so ago, in fact. :yes: This is an odd shift for Vivian though; though I guess it shouldn't be THAT surprising seeing as they sometimes (and they've always done this in the past) pull PM Edition OCMs to work the EE/Weather Center shift.
-
It's not unusual to see a Sam/Vivian pairing but it's very unusual to see Vivian working at night. I was thinking she has a clause in her contract that she needs to be out of there by 7pm each night. ;) Can't remember the last time I saw her working this late...then again, I don't watch much anymore, either. :smoke2:
-
Does TWC get the reports that display on the so-to-speak BBOD from the airports or HiRAD guesses? I notice that the LDL says that it is 72 here in Dtwn Grand Rapids, and TWC has 73 for Grand rapids on the BBOD.
-
Vivian Brown and Samantha Mohr on 10 PM ET Weather Center tonight. :blink:
IMO, they should of had Viv work the 7PM WC and Bill work 10PM. Would make it easier for them so their shift wouldn't be as different as it usually is.

Don't get me started on 05. Summer 05 was ok for me, but Music and OCM pairing wise I loved it. There were good playlists every month in 05 especially May with "Simple Pleasures" and the July, and August lists. I also remember Steele and Goodloe on EE.
-
I really liked the "laid back" feel TWC was headed towards at the very beginning of the BWTL era. Too bad that didn't last long. :(

1) They finally fixed the bottom left portion of the lighted video wall border after 4 months....

The only shows that still frequently use its own music on the openers are YWT, PM Edition, and Weather Center. And WC is the only show that still uses it's own bumper music before and after breaks often (PME still does it too, but not often).

clipstreampro.zip and clint.tar.gz - the second is a very large file but worth it - an archive of one of the big directories including One Degree resources. The icons directory has XL icons up to 93x93. Circa 2006. The first is an unworkable Java-based app.

The apocalypse has landed.... TWC fixes some lights in the studio, another set dies...

hopefully that's just a wiring issue since that's a string of lights, not just one individual one.

DP is in the monitor position! Could we see PME in the maps position?

DP is in the monitor position! Could we see PME in the maps position?
Perhaps there's something wrong with the city backdrop? :unsure:
-

Don't they usually go back and forth between the monitor and sunset backdrop?
If Stephen's theory holds true PME will probably be in the same position Day Planner.
-
They use the monitor on DP, but the desk has never been in the monitor position before. Normally, they have one OCM at the desk and the other at the telestrator when they use the monitor.
-
PME is indeed in the monitor position.
-
While we're talking about desk set-ups, it seems to me like the "normal" positions are never used anymore. :no: Like on Day Planner, the desk may be facing the city backdrop but the OCMS usually sit facing the monitor. :thinking:

Is it just my intellistar,or is anyone else getting national forecasts?I haven't gotten an actual local forecast since early Saturday afternoon.I've been getting national forecasts for the Local on the 8s..The blue bar hasn't been up in two days either..I'm wondering what's going on?.?. :hmm:

Sounds like an issue with your IntelliStar. If you know your local weather ID, go to TWC Classics and post on the STAR Team board.

One theory suggests that this might have something to do with Wake Up. They might be making some renovation to the sunset backdrop area (if it is, then probably nothing big since the show starts in a week).
-
Something is definitely going on over there... the Starriness area of the studio isn't starry anymore....

Maybe has something to do with the debut of WUWA?

I have to agree with everyone on the debut of WUWA being a good theory for what you're seeing in the studio. :yes:
-
Aww man, I loved those shining stars. :(

Me too. :yes: I hope they are not gone forever...I'll be interested to see what kind of "changes" are being done.

Wow. :blink: This MUST have something to do with WUWA, but I am disappointed that the stars are gone. (maybe they're just covered though?)

Carl and Betty on Day Planner today.

Kelly Cass said on her twitter she was going on vacation until the 23rd
-
caught part of what appears to be a new segment around 1:45pm ET. It's called 1 Minute Weather. It doesn't seem to include the OCMs, but just answers weather questions in 1 minute or something like that

it looks like TWC is making some, if not all, OCMs take a vacation - Nicole is going on vacation next week, Paul was on vacation this week.

That was the 2nd fastest Weekly Planner I've ever seen at 45 seconds... way to speed talk, Steph! :blink:
The fastest one was bullshitted with Steph talking dandruff and just whizzing past the maps in 20 seconds on June 22.

At least they are doing Weekly Planner. Wake Up With Al might not have weekly planners.

After almost 3-4 weeks, Todd makes a return! he's in for Kelly.
Also, I've never seen the telestrator used in this position before!

-
That's because you're always sleeping when they've used it in that position this week (Dr. Forbes on PME and the PME teaser at the end of DP).
They have also used it for Dr. Forbes on the old Weekend Weather Center and even once on EEWC when they did a live segment with Dr. Forbes one time.
-

According to Todd at the end of DP, he's been in New York the past few weeks.

Summer 06 was the best summer ever for so many reasons. TWC was a lot better back then
I thought summer 04 was the best summer ever on TWC. :P
It seemed like there was a severe weather breakout everyday around the US.
And TWC hit a stretch of great playlists from July04-June05.
-
Summer 06 was the best summer ever for so many reasons. TWC was a lot better back then
It wasn't my favorite summer. Alberto and Ernesto coverage ruined it for me.
I loved summer 2008. It was exciting to see TWC step up to HD.

I loved summer 2008. It was exciting to see TWC step up to HD.
I liked Summer 2006 because it was the last summer when there really was good structure in TWC's schedule. In 2007, the started to get erratic in how well structured teasers were from day-to-day. I also liked Summer 2008, as it was cool to watch TWC go HD, but not cool to watch their programming suffer, as it started to at the end of the summer and has been in a downward spiral ever since.
For me, I'd say, Summer 2004
-
Summer 2004: 9.5/10. Good, possibly one of the best summer
Summer 2005: 8.5/10. OK, but not bad. I like all of the summer 05 playlist.
Summer 2006: 8.5/10. Good, but the Storm alert coverage ruined the summer since hurricane coverage isn't the same anymore since this summer. My favorite playlist was July 2006.
Summer 2007: 9/10. A bit better, but hurricane coverages. The music playlist were OK.
Summer 2008: 9.5/10. Tie with 2004, the best summer ever along with 04. However, the hurricane coverages during Aug-Sept kills. 1. They shows that awful blue bar (sometimes red during storm alert). It's the one that shows path, info of the hurricane. This is why I don't do hurricane related on TWC.
Summer 2009: 1/10. Gargabe summer as well as the current year. That awful blue bar is still there as well as the suckish LDA bar. The BBOD and WUWA ruined it. TWC is not the same anymore.

watch after the second open then the transition into Betty/Sam there is a black figure (kinda like an airplane) flying across the skyline towards the top.
i never really paid much attention

TWC showed an iWitness report of a waterspout near the Atlantic City airport yesterday afternoon. I don't know if it's a true waterspout, because the nearest body of water is 10 miles from the airport...Funny thing is that it was pure sunshine and we didn't get a single drop of rain yesterday. It must've been an isolated cell that produced that 'waterspout'. Kinda interesting to see who from home would submit TWC content though...

The Weather Center intro is still cheap. The new-age music gets annoying after a while.

I believe this is the first time an OCM is doing all three hours on his own.

I believe this is the first time an OCM is doing all three hours on his own.
This is incorrect. Sam did 3 hours alone that one Saturday night there was that severe weather outbreak that preempted all long form programming. I forget if it was still Weekend Weather Center at that point, but she was alone.

Well, TWC had some timing issues last night. Line-ups and local forecasts were all over the place. It really began when the overnite list did, around 1 AM EDT, but was most notable in between 2:20 and 3:30 AM EDT. The 2:26, 2:37, and 2:47 local forecasts cued early, and everything else through 3:30 cued late, very late. I noticed that the 2:57 station ID was placed in between 2 TWC ads, with one bumping up to the LF intro. Weather Center went to commercial late at 3:17 as well. These issues were fixed around 3:30 AM EDT. Both Mike and I caught clips.

I don't seem to recall so many timing errors with the LFs years ago. Then again, TWC seemed to have a far more consistent schedule back then as well.

at 1:10-1:11pm ET on Day Planner, the video feeds seemed to cut out, as the screen went blue for a few seconds. The LDL continued to appear, and then Adam returned in front of the video wall, where he left off. He noticed it too, as he had stopped talking and then started up again as soon as the video feed came back on
UPDATE:
It happened again around 1:31-1:32pm ET, with Betty this time. The screen was blue for a longer amount of time, and the LDL stayed on again. When Betty came back she apparently did not notice whatever happened, but ironically said something along the lines of "...and the weather in the Northeast has us feeling blue" :rofl:

I must not be watching TWC very often then. I thought YWT always faced the video wall, and I don't think I've ever seen Weather Center use the small desk. :no: Whenever WC starts, the OCMs usually are already standing at the video wall.

They went into "Developing Story" mode last week on Cantore/Steele. I thought this "Developing Story" would replace Storm Alert. Great, TWC, you're again heading to sensationalism. Put Sam Mohr on for another hour, and you'll be in the worst shape you've ever been.

Mike Seidel is currently en route to the flooding area, Nick says.

I'm thankful that the long-form is pre-empted at all. Why is Kevin Robinson reporting long before his shift? Unless you want Todd Santos to be on the air for as much as 9 hours, I don't think that's a good idea.

OCMs arrive at TWC a few hours before their actual shift starts. Also, lately they've had Kevin Robinson reporting during PME for breaking weather stories.

That's actually pretty long to me, I thought OCM's usually arrive about three hours before their show starts.

When was the last time they ever preempted that block? I don't think they did since the March 2 winter storm, it's been awhile.

The afternoon long-form block was preempted on April 10, 2009 due to a severe weather/tornado outbreak in the southeast.

Todd Santos is getting on my nerves already, that's why I really hate him. He's was just a joke OCM IMO.

They were short-handed this morning. It could be a good thing to have 6 hours of long-form programming if TWC couldn't get fill-ins.

She fit really well on First Outlook. Jen of course is just as good as her, but she fit well on the morning for years. Of course, FO will spiral downward now thanks to WUWA :thumbdown:

NWS began issuing air quality alerts from information provided by environmental agencies within the last few years, so these alerts have appeared on the local weather page of weather.com during that time as any important NWS message is placed there.

:offtopic: Just an FYI, but I have found out what TWC's Official Facebook page is. It is the one labeled "The Weather Channel and weather.com". I found out by looking on the side of this page (http://www.weather.com/newscenter/topstories/todayinweather.html#tropicaloutlook0812).
I only bring this up because some of us may remember that someone sent out an update through the fan page on Facebook known as "The Weather Channel" that said how much they miss the days when Landmark was owned by TWC. :thumbsup:

It's "An-uh", not "On-uh" Carl. :wacko:

I would pronounce it either way.

I think Heather pronounced it "On-uh" too. :yes: I like Kyle's theory from the WUWA thread, but I would pronounce both Ana and Anna as "An-uh". :P Can't believe I'm talking so much about pronunciation. :rofl:
Sorry, as this is a little off topic, but I would pronounce "Ana" as "on-uh". Everyone I know who spell it like that say it like that. I've always known "ann-uh" as Anna. So I guess it just depends on the person/ whoever named the storm ;) :P
-
Let's just settle this once and for all as this is getting a little ridiculous. NHC says Ana should be pronounced as Ah-na, so that's how it should be spoken. They even mentioned it in the advisory headline:
...ANA...PRONOUNCED AH-NA...MOVING QUICKLY WESTWARD WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN STRENGTH...

Wow, TWC seems to be in Storm Alert already. :P I watched PM Edition this entire hour, and aside from a 2-3 minute Weekly Planner, they pretty much talked about nothing but Ana and Bill, when they are still days away from making landfall.

And that is what really gets on my nerves. :club: What about all the rain in the country that is affecting us NOW, not 5 days away? <_< You are definetely right, Mike...TWC may as well be in Storm Alert. :angry: Their position now really is no different from 2006. :no:

Or the heat that's forecast to build here in the northeast. :whistling:
-
I think they may be so excited that the hurricane season has finally begun since it's been quiet and boring for so dang long now and to have 2 maybe even a third on the way is pumping them up, but like you guys said they shouldn't get big heads over this, neither one of those storms are going to hit soon.

I'm afraid that you're right. :no: We don't know if Ana and Bill will even impact the United States a week from now in any manner, so doesn't it make sense to focus more on what's impacting the country right now and in the immediate future?

You would think it would make more sense to focus on what's impacting the country now, but then again this is TWC we're talking about (no offense to anyone).
But I will say that later on PME, at least they brought up the rain in Florida, including another disturbance. :yes: I wonder if it will develop into anything. :unsure:

The promo for Brian Williams on Katrina doesn't have a Jim Cutler voiceover but an Eric Gordon one. Gordon's biggest client is CNN, and he's done a lot of local stations. Go to southernmedia-nmsa.com, click on Broadcast, then go to to ETC. in the top bar, select Voiceover Artists, then Eric Gordon. His newer stuff is a different sound than even earlier this decade.

Haha, That is exactly what I was thinking, that maybe it was a reflection of Heather's shirt. It could also be maybe a "test" of storm alert? Who knows.

Still Weekend Now at 4PM, with the one minute flavors. IMO, PM Edition should start this hour. Weird seeing yellow lower thirds in the afternoon/evening. :blink:

Vivian and Nick on PM Edition :blink: with a Weekend Now screen that was flipped and partially transparent :rofl:

More like FAIL-bar - when the L-Bar appeared the feed didn't squeeze back - in other words - the national L-Bar did not appear.
And they're actually stepping DOWN the coverage, apparently. This afternoon's long-form block was completely pre-empted, but yet they've decided to go with longform this evening with updates every so often.

TWC is interrupting long-form every half-hour to bring continuing coverage on Claudette. :yes: At what time is it expected to make landfall...I thought it was supposed to hit earlier this evening? :dunno: :wacko:
-
It's a tropical storm..they are THE Hurricane Authority...i'm guessing that means they have to do continuous coverage until it makes landfall..which at this rate could be wednesday..

So, I missed a weekend's worth of Juice I guess... well...here's my reply on all of the posts as far as I read.
1. I've been telling this over and over and over and over again. My name is always pronounced "Ann-uh". After reading the advisories of my storm, the official pronounciation is actually "Onn-uh". Oh well, I'll just get used to it I guess...but for me, it will always be "Ann-uh".
2. Alexandra is starting to become my favorite as well. Since now I am not seeing Stephanie that much anymore, I seem to now tune in to WC every day. I even record it too.
3. I wonder what kind of Storm Alert music they're gonna use this year?
4. <3 that screenshot of Heather and Carl, Martin.
5. WTF, I heard nothing that Steph was going to be in NY filling in for Al. I thought she is gonna film WeatherProof. Hm..I assume later on this week I guess.

Well since twc is not a broadcast channel, it does not need to follow fcc censorship regulations... twc is also an unrated network so yeah... Ass is not generally a bad word if used in the right context. It's also after 10pm so it's forgivable lol...

Odd, Paul didn't host the On The Radar segment at 1:40 AM ET, instead they played a prerecorded segment with Nicole from last hour.

Alright, how horrendous is the tropical coverage out there?
Is it even worth tuning into TWC or are they going to tell us how Bill is making all of the fish out in the Atlantic scared and how many drops of rain it has produced over the ocean?

They also need to let go of my "ex-storm" already, too. They are treating it as if my storm is still a tropical depression. <_<

I can understand them still talking about Ana because she's not technically "dead" in fact she may come back to life when or if it makes it to the Gulf of Mexico, we saw how Claudette quickly formed out there, it's possible she could do the same, she wouldn't have any of her past enemies there (dry air/wind shear)

at the 1:10 PDT segment of PM Edition, they were doing a report on the severe weather in Texas, and all of the sudden it all went black...then 5 seconds later Trammel played, and went into commercial early at 1:13 PM PDT. :blink:

I think The Weather Channel needs to change its name to The Hurricane Channel. :hammer:

Texas has always been an neglected state by TWC

Texas has always been an neglected state by TWC
Which leads me to ask a question about regions (please forgive me, this is a little lengthy :blushing:):
Does anyone else think that TWC concentrates heavily on the Northeast? :unsure: Not to be rude to all of our members in the NE, but to me it seems like TWC talks most about the NE and has the most special reports/graphics for the NE. :thinking: For example, why was Mike Seidel sent to do a field report for just one day of warm weather? :wacko:
Now I am surprised that TWC isn't Southeast-crazy since their headquarters, Atlanta, is in the SE. :blink: But I guess since two major cities, NYC and Washington, DC, are in the NE region, TWC wants to be certain to cover those two cities. Who knows, maybe most of TWC's viewers come from the NE...I guess it's all about ratings. :thumbdown:
Now maybe I am exaggerating. TWC might even talk most about the Midwest. What is certain, though, is that (IMO) they don't talk equally about all four regions and especially neglect the West (sorry Ana, Derek, and all of our other members who live in the West :(). They also, like Al said, neglect certain states. <_<

I noticed that too (and you dont have to be sorry about that!). They seem to not talk too much about the West (especially California)..unless there is a special weather event such as a wildfire or a severe rainstorm.

Yeah, I didn't realize Kevin was still on with Jim and Alexandra because, like you said Stephen, he doesn't have very many appearances and never gets mentioned. :no:
Thanks for clearing things up, though. ;) I had no idea where Jim had gone for a second. :P

and that is jim walking in the back there.

The old studio made an appearance today when experts Steve Lyons and Stu Ostro were talking with Jim Cantore about Hurricane Bill, which begs the question: what was wrong with the old studio? I mean, I know that HD worked better with a new studio, but I still think, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and the old studio sure isn't broke.
-
I made a double take today. At 9:10 PM ET, when they had the "Cantore Cam", I thought I saw three people that look just like Jim Cantore.

Kelly Cass was on YWT this morning (in for Steph) and wow does she look different from the last time I've seen her! :blink: I almost didn't recognize her at first...I guess she did something different with her hair. How long has it been like this? :unsure:

So "Weather on the web" is now known as "Hot web pages" on WC :thrilled:

Wow, they played the 2004-2005 music on the Tropical Update opener at 12:50 PM ET (not the 4-tone music, but the alternate theme they used)! :blink:
-
Don't know where to put this, but...oh well.
On the personalities page on weather.com, they updated some OCMs' pictures, all are fairly recent. I just checked out Stephanie Abrams' bio and her picture is from WUWA. I really like it!

i saw a TWC Music store LF opener

IntelliStar 22689 works again, and they fixed the LDL current conditions/forecast cities (Albany and Voorheesville were replaced by Broken Arrow and Claremore, respectively).

Well, TWC was playing that old Labor Day LF intro from last year and years before, this morning, but I see they switched to a new intro as of this afternoon. Fortunately, I recorded the old intro and I'll have to dub that into my videos from this weekend.

YWT's lower thirds have been the same way lately. I really don't like it, the text looks much better centered. :yes:

Wont the radar box cover the text once we have a tropical storm alert?

Wont the radar box cover the text once we have a tropical storm alert?
If they keep the radar box on the far left for future storm alerts, they would be forced to either shift the text over towards the right or just center it completely. I agree with Stephen that the text on lower thirds looks better centered all the time anyway. :yes:

For me anyways, it's kind of weird seeing Bill on late at night. :yes: I am just so used to the days when he was on Weekend View or filling in on YWT.

It looks like the studio doesn't have those pillar stripes (or whatever they're called) white during PM Edition and evening Weather Center anymore. For the past week, they've been using the light blue stripes instead during these shows like what they've been doing in the morning. :(

Why does it feel like the TWC studio is being changed so much lately? I don't even know how some of you all can keep up with it as I can remember time periods of a couple years when barely anything in the studio was altered. :no:
-
I miss the days when each show in the HD studio had its unique set. :( Now it seems like TWC is "blending" everything together to make no show unique in set-up. :thumbdown:

Day Planner should face the WUWA board. With the HD TV to the side that says Day Planner, It would look really good I'm sure.

Pretty sure it's a backdrop and not a monitor.

Where has Todd Santos been? I haven't seen him on in weeks, unless I'm watching TWC at the wrong time to catch him.

I assume he is a freelance OCM. Like Warren Madden, he is on call when needed.

They sure didn't give Adam much time to return after being out in the field yesterday, but it was only a quick trip back from Gainesville, FL to Atlanta, GA. Is it normal for OCMs to return just one day after being out in the field even if it's a longer trip?

Is it just me, or is there no audio on TWC at all? :dunno:

On DirecTV, I see a technical difficulties notice — after I typed that, "local" adverts inserted by DirecTV appeared. Earlier, my receiver cued LF over the technical difficulties notice! o_O
After I posted this, the TWC feed returned with no audio.
Now the notice has returned.
It just cued LF over the notice again.

Wow, beautiful new mountain station ID today!

TWC is in omgserious mode... Steph called it a "Special" Edition of YWT... Carl in for Mike.
-
Well, it appears as though there are a new set of station IDs now. Not exactly to the highest of my liking, since I was hoping they would do at least one with fall colors on it. The two that I have seen are the one Mike mentioned above, the Mountain scene, and what looks like a lake in a forest with a dock on the foreground. Haven't seen the third one, and didn't have a chance to since WMM does not work on my desktop.

EDIT: New George Hamilton WUWA promo following the 12:58 PM EDT LF, so that must mean a new LF intro as well.

This is basically TWC's gametime weather twitter. I assume this is Adam Berg tweeting, since he said he will go live from Michigan State tomorrow.

The Michigan vs. Michigan State game kicks off at noon this Saturday. I would imagine that Adam would be there at least two hours before kickoff so that he can do his pregame weather coverage on the air.

Wow, it was incredible to see Adam in the E.L. these past two daze. My mom and I drove by the Spartan Stadium yesterday, and saw a satellite truck after driving around the parking lot, but couldn't determine if it was TWC related. I tried to rush over there on my bike this morning, but it took me forever to find ways around the tents and blocks, and I still would have had to work around tons of students, so I turned back. I will be posting clips this evening.

Okay, is TWC always supposed to have errors after their Saturday morning Cable In The Classroom segments? The show ended with commercials and then the station ID as normal. Then, after the station ID and the LF intro, they aired the credits for the When Weather Changed History segment used for Cable In The Classroom. At the beginning of the credits, they air the opening music for WWCH. Then the blue TWC [HD] screen, and then the LF. :blink: :wacko:

Looks like Kelly went blonde and straight with her hair this morning. :P

Today's Day Planner has very low production values, almost "fail show"-like. The opener at the beginning was very screwy and they've been using the actual DP music all throughout the show (not that I have a problem with that, though :P).

I have never been so enraged at TWC. NEVER!!!! This is bullshit.
Heres is what we know. A young kid told his parents someone got onto a balloon and it blew away. Balloon landed and no kid has been found. He either went SPLAT or the kid lied. Either way I dont care. Its 1 kid. NOT worth almost an 1hr continuous coverage on THE WEATHER CHANNEL. Hell they aren't even doing commercials.
-
I think they skipped Local on the 8s a few times aswell. :thumbdown:
-
What the hell is wrong with them? Two days before, I was watching them for the California storm coverage, and now they're just BS'ing their way through the broadcast.
Also, it seems like the OCM's are getting unlimited vacation time, because 9 out of 10 days there is a fill-in sometime in the day.
-
MSNBC ran for at least one or two hours without commercials in continuous live coverage.
Why is TWC covering the story? It's not a weather event at all...
-

I think they were covering it because the boy's father was a former weather guy, and that the balloon was used for a weather experiment.
-
Ok seriously,if I wanna hear about this story,I can just watch my local news in 40 minutes..They won't even talk about it as much as TWC has.That's pretty sad since a news station probably won't cover it as long.. :hmm:

Guy was a stormchaser.
It was a weather balloon.
25-35mph winds in the area.
Cold temps aloft (20s in the 7000ft range, this could go to 10000ft)
-

Probably because long-form was preempted. There wouldn't of been a local anyway.

Kid was hiding in a box in the attic. Brother of the kid told the story to his parents. Bet they got a nice laugh. Hope the parents have to pay for all of the wasted money. News media is kinda stumbling now. Seem to quickly be moving past the story now

And, we don't have anything to worry about.

-
Notice how they quickly dropped the story? OMG a kid could have flown away in a balloon..... oh wait..... he was hiding in a box at home. oops.....3 hrs of non-stop coverage for nothing
-
Two parties at fault. The brother for lying AND the police - they "searched" the house before escalating the incident.
-
You know the staff of Weather Center is cursing now that they actually have to cover weather and do real work. :P
Also Matt I think the media is also at fault. No reason whatsoever to blow it up like this. They all look like fools!
-
Wow, I missed quite some action... :blink:
Just heard about this "balloon boy" story as I left Music class, and hearing that TWC was covering it, I was like WTF. They need to cover an upcoming nor'easter (or possibly DOUBLE) today and throughout this weekend and now I hear that Today's top story is OMG A BOY GOT STUCK INSIDE A BALLOON. uhh, where's the :censored: weather in this story?
/me gets some more news.
Oh, he lied. BS!!!! O M FREAKIN G. This makes me even more mad. Covering a pointless story that has nothing to do with weather. This is even worse than WUWA IMO. This is what I have seen as the BIGGEST FAIL EVER. TWC, you fail as a weather news network. Nuff said.
/me ends her rant, then gets on her bus to go home.
-
I agree Ana. This is the WORST I have ever seen TWC do.
3:40-4:25 Balloon Boy coverage without commercials and lf
4:25-6:12 Balloon Boy coverage with commercials and lf. No weather segments at all
6:13- Awkward moment with NBC reporter who says it was all a joke.
-
I'm with you guys on that as well.
I'm truly disappointed at the fact that TWC wasted their time (as well as other news networks) to put something like this out there to the public when it came up to all be a joke. :angry:
-
Also Matt I think the media is also at fault. No reason whatsoever to blow it up like this. They all look like fools!
Meh. They had nothing else better to discuss today (outside of TWC - but remember - they broke into longform and very easily could have continued with wx coverage at 4:00 since the incident was over).
-
I'd rather go back to the days of Ernesto/Alberto coverage. At least that dealt with weather.
Do you think we'll see an apology from the parties responsible for wasting so much coverage time?

I totally agree with Ana and Martin.We have a really bad nor'easter hitting us right now,and as Ana said,calling for a double.The flooding is gonna get really bad here,and all they're talking about is a :censored: balloon boy story.

I am VERY dissapointed coming here and reading that The Weather Channel (?) spent SO much time covering this story :rolleyes: I am upset that other news outlets have been covering this story so extensively. Talk about lack of attention for the boys parents. I don't even have any words for this :rolleyes:
If I wanted more on this story, I'll turn to a news channel.

Wow, everything mentioned today just makes me so sad. :( I'm beginning to wonder what TWC now considers newsworthy. It used to be everything solely dedicated to the weather 24/7. Today, we're lucky to see actual segments devoted entirely to the weather on an hourly basis. I agree that the media and the police did a poor job of checking all their sources and searching everything. However, TWC should be more concerned about the unusually early winter storm warnings currently in effect for PA and the flood warnings ongoing in the Southeast. These stories are actually about the weather, which is what TWC is responsible for covering, and these stories have far more impact than one kid allegedly being flown away in a balloon.
Everyone better start checking NWS and other weather media more closely this winter as I'm not sure if TWC is prepared to handle the wacky weather we're going to see across the country thanks to El Niño. I really hope that I'm wrong here, but the early signs are not promising. :no:

I'm starting to go into wunderground. I hardly check TWC anymore.
It just looks like TWC isnt too serious about the upcoming nor'easters like in the previous years. Once some wacky story like this pops up they immediately go into non-stop coverage like Storm Alert coverage. Seriously, we don't want this.

I agree.I haven't watched much of TWC in the last month or so.I've been relying on my local news stations for my weather now.They talk about news,and weather,as they're supposed to.But when it's weather time,they actually talk about the weather.Who freaking cares in some kid pulled a prank and was supposely flying away in a balloon?I can check the internet or local news for that.We're getting hammered with a double nor'easter right now,ever since Thursday.But TWC doesn't talk about it all that much.Sadly,I'm starting to get bored with TWC.They're not completely doing their job.

Everyone better start checking NWS and other weather media more closely this winter as I'm not sure if TWC is prepared to handle the wacky weather we're going to see across the country thanks to El Niño. I really hope that I'm wrong here, but the early signs are not promising. :no:
I'm starting to go into wunderground. I hardly check TWC anymore.
It just looks like TWC isnt too serious about the upcoming nor'easters like in the previous years. Once some wacky story like this pops up they immediately go into non-stop coverage like Storm Alert coverage. Seriously, we don't want this.
I agree.I haven't watched much of TWC in the last month or so.I've been relying on my local news stations for my weather now.They talk about news,and weather,as they're supposed to.But when it's weather time,they actually talk about the weather.Who freaking cares in some kid pulled a prank and was supposely flying away in a balloon?I can check the internet or local news for that.We're getting hammered with a double nor'easter right now,ever since Thursday.But TWC doesn't talk about it all that much.Sadly,I'm starting to get bored with TWC.They're not completely doing their job.
Yeah, TWC hasn't been doing their job lately. I just watch it mosty for the laughs that I get out of the OCMs sometimes.

Let's hope for some crazy winter storms this season. It might just help TWC stay focused on the weather and improve some things. Usually when everything goes wild, we see the glimpses of the TWC we all love and cherish. B)

Yeah I read the farmer's almanac predictions for the 2009-2010 winter season..They're calling for a strong snowstorm,possibly a blizzard to hit the mid-atlantic(where i live) and new england regions in mid-February.One can only hope they cover it if it happens. <_<

That's really frightening to hear. They need to give him more speech training lessons. Hopefully, he can overcome the issues and become a good OCM.

I use wunderground.com all the time. I really started using it when I lived in Arizona. I could zoom in on the radar, and get a better look at the outflow boundaries from the dust storms, and the direction in which the storms were moving! It helped me get some (albeit) shaky lightning pictures that I've been trying to get. And, to be honest with you, I'll use them to track storms here in Florida. (Although, I downloaded the Weather Toolkit for my laptop, and so far, it's pretty neat!)

Besides the lower third being an obvious mockup (4:3 safe surprisingly, APOCALYPSE! :fire:), did they ever use that bar that says TRACK THAT STORM? Ever? I've never seen one on air, but apparently one exists....

Branding things "breaking news" or "developing" in the news business makes it sound more urgent!

It's "new" and it's weather-related. Now, it wouldn't be breaking news on the local level... ;)

It's breaking news to Nicaragua though as that tropical depression is now Tropical Storm Ida with 60 mph winds and will make landfall there tonight. With little going on elsewhere in the United States, expect to hear a lot about Ida tonight on TWC.

I know.And make Jen the permanent co-host for YWT.And Steph a third host when she can actually be on :bleh:

Gee, TWC is really overhyping Ida. They're using nothing but those crappy breaking news lowerthirds so far, and aren't talking about weather elsewhere in the country. I mean, come on, it's a CATEGORY 1 HURRICANE! :rolleyes:

It's true they have been focused on Ida a lot now, I'm surprised the Gov. of LA would declare a State of Emergency before they even know how bad Ida will be for the state, I'm monitoring the flooding threat for us, if we get any of the rain they're talking us getting, I know were gonna be out of school again or school will be let out early. According to TWC, were gonna get some strong winds out of this too.
-
Betty Davis in studio for Stephanie, while she's in the field... interesting choice O_o
They're also using the Storm Alert versions of the Ida intro (with red lettering that would be used in storm alert) yet they are not in Storm Alert.

So I guess TWC is in "Semi-Storm Alert" mode. They are using some red l3rds but no music. TWC isnt that hyped about it as I predicted.

Afternoon long-from programming is being fully pre-empted today; extra hour of Day Planner at 1 PM CT, and probably an extra hour of PM Edition at 2 PM CT.
-
While Ida is certainly a surprise to many people as it's coming in November, it's not going to be a huge disaster. In fact, it's no longer a hurricane, so a full-blown storm alert is not needed. I'm glad that TWC is doing sort of a "lite storm alert" mode here.

IMO, TWC doesn't need any type of Storm Alert mode at all, light or full-blown. :no:

Special Edition of Wake Up With Al... it's essentially YWT with WUWA branding... Mike and Jen are in studio as I mentioned before... I saw Al before the break just before 10am. He's around...

These maps never have been. Hence the ones you always saw during their HD transition last summer.
-
a lot of their graphics aren't 4:3 safe...it's also why the use the mass majority of them on the videowall to hide that they're not.
-
Due to that one storm that's gonna hit Martin's house (:bleh:), Nick Walker mentioned on his twitter that he "will be on an hour early". So I'd expect some longform being preemptied today.
http://twitter.com/wxdude/status/5622358797

TWC really needs to remove longform anyway, because i know it is saving them $$$ but look at it this way they lose viewers if they put the same fluff on.

Because of the direction of the network, i know this because i talked with friends who love twc to death (long time viewers) but have seen this trend happen before in the past.

That production music that's used for the Severe Weather Opener I heard on this show called "Disorder in the Court" on truTV.

Good job TWC :clap:

Yeah, I don't understand why celebs are on WUWA.. whatever.

I am actually pleased with TWC's coverage on the "Atlantic Assault" (however--not a fan of the name) They are not really taking anything out of proportion from what I can see. I am enjoying the live reports as well. Great Job, TWC (have not said that in..a while).

When did the last long-form program air before this weather event? Sunday?

Yep. it was the SS long form hour if i can recall that far back

I don't want to sound dumb, but is this so-called "Atlantic Assault" like a tropical system/hurricane of its own? :dunno: Or is it just the remnants of Ida doing damage? :unsure:
-

This is the remnants of Ida that merged together with a front that is intensifying off the coast. The whole thing is extratropical, and the term "extratropical" simply means that it has no characteristics of a tropical cyclone but rather has warm and cold fronts just like all our normal systems in the mid-latitudes.

Meaning today's Day Planner had no DP music whatsoever... the old production crew was in...

Poor Adam Berg seems to be all over the place. IMO, he's good enough to have a set time/show. :yes: (But does being a "good" OCM have anything to do with where/when you work?)
Also, thank you for the crystal-clear explanation on the "Atlantic Assault" Patrick! :thumbsup:

Your Weather Today with Cass and Carfagno
-
Interestingly, TWC started PME at 2 PM ET today instead of 3 PM ET. This is making me think that they're probably going to start WC w/Cantore & Steele one or two hours early. (either at 6 PM or 5 PM ET) This is likely being done because of TWC's plans to still show the movie at 8 PM. They want their signature Cantore & Steele show to still get maximum airtime given the weather situation.

I'm not surprised they would do that, it makes sense, this Nor'Easter is more important than seeing "Misery" which you can see on practically any movie channel you wanted to anyway. :rolleyes: (lol looks like a Facebook member isn't happy with NBC being over management of TWC either. :P)

It looks like no one here afaik got the WC coverage (as they promised). This sounds like a fail.

So is everyone seeing the movie? :dunno: Like Patrick said, it is stupid to have some see a movie and some see weather coverage. :thumbdown: Drop the movies, TWC! :angry: Even my dad wonders if TWC covers current weather anymore.

According to Jesskitty, he got the coverage at 8:30 PM. It seems like during the half hour, they were actually broadcasting to NOBODY. They had a simple technical difficulty.
-
My mom tuned into TWC and thought she was watching the wrong channel. She was like WTF is Stephen King doing on TWC?
-
It came in at about 830... They were in the monitor position and was an unbranded weather center show much like last night. Paul was tieless and jacketless.
-
Are you sure only the northeast is getting this coverage? If this were the case I would have expected the IntelliStars built-in playlist to be used since the satellite LF system wouldn't be running.

Did they show any LFs when the movie was running? :dunno: My guess is that there was a one-minute flavor at the top and bottom of the hour. :yes:
-
They only showed the LFs that were a part of the movie, which were at weird times that corresponded to the naturally odd times of the commercial breaks in the movie.
-
They show LFs at random times during the movies... which is ridiculous, imo.
-
I know that's right, they surely do!!!
Sometimes, I wished that they didn't show movies period!!!!!!
-
Proof that the dual feed existed:
(http://h.imagehost.org/0387/PaulNicole_SpecialCoverage_20091113.png)
The LFs corresponded with the movie along with commercials. It was essentially the production quality of PMEWWC.

DP was produced Spring/Summer 2009 style today with all production music and with no thick dots on the BBOD. It must've been done by the old DP crew or maybe the FO crew.

Half-fail show Day Planner today with Kim and Carl.
Why do you call it a "half-fail show"?

I wouldn't really call Day Planner a fail show just because it uses the DP music now. It's just what the producer likes to do, and frankly I'm proud of his productions.

He's not calling it a half-fail show because of the DP music. He's calling it that because the production quality is rather lax than it used to be.

Do you like the fact that it uses the DP music now though, Stephen?

It's been like that on YWT all week for some reason.
-
I wish TWC would bring back that transparent LDL that they had. I loved that one. Also, why do both WUWA and YWT start a minute early? For example, I'll notice WUWA coming on at 5:59am (If I'm actually up at that time) and it seems to throw off the entire flow by a minute (LOT8'S included). I know it's minor, but I was just curious (like the monkey).

DP music on the intro at 11 AM! :dance:
It's been like that for like a month now. They likely switched to a different team who IMO does a better job (more DP music). Maybe Jennifer Roberts left already, as I remember her saying she wanted to go to California.
-
Jennifer Roberts is a producer and is more in charge of the content and format of the show than what specific music plays. I would think the music decision comes from either the director or the actual audio tech.
Besides, Jennifer has never worked Day Planner to my knowledge; she always works PM Edition or later, AFAIK.

I think it's somewhat like a combination of "Why I love Winter Week" and "Getaway Week" (which was in May). From what I understand, it is celebrating the winter season that is upon us. They air ads throughout the hour and are now showing LF intros with some information.

There are also five stocking prizes for the runner-up. I stumbled upon it on the TWC site at this link: http://whitexmassweeps.com/ (http://whitexmassweeps.com/)
Thoughts about TWC doing this contest?

They've been announcing that since two weeks afaik. If you want to submit a video you have to send in your submission by this Sunday.
I think that's a cool contest, wish I'd submit a video to them...I can sure use a white christmas myself :D
-
That may be kinda hard for them to do that here since I live in a townhouse...

They would have to make some special accommodations for you if you won. I just find the whole contest rather intriguing as some people will never see snow in person during their lives (even fake snow in this case).

Wow, 100 Biggest Weather Moments is on now!
Yeah, it's extremely bittersweet for me to see that on again. It has apparently been airing at 3 PM EST every day this week, but I already recorded every episode when it premiered in 2007 :bleh:

Poor Paul is sick. Wonder if he is back tonight

Poor Paul is sick. Wonder if he is back tonight
I doubt he would be back...I assume he'll take the rest of the week off due to his sickness. More likely Todd will take over.
-
So....Paul is still sick...and it is more likely that we wont see him till January.
Weather Center with Paul & Nicole: Paul is sick again, which makes me sad, bcs we have conflicting days-off the rest of this month, & won't work together until 2010!
-
Wow, it was a step back in time to see Dao Vu on a TWC program this afternoon. Haven't seen her in ages lol :bleh:
I just love OCMs who don't know the areas they're talking about lol. Kevin was pointing at Lansing and said Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo, then mentioned 496 because it happened to show on the map (496 is only a spur that goes through downtown).

False. I am pretty sure that means on the days Nicole works, Paul has the day off, and when Paul works, Nicole has the day off :yes:

Day Planner is being run by another production staff today, I guess because of the snow in the south. They're using the regular BBOD and all production music.

I just heard Good King Wensacleas by Network Music (Killer Tracks) playing when DP came on a minute ago. :o

For the many times in the past that this video wall has been problematic, it wouldn't surprise me based on what you described. You're the one who spots these wall issues best. :P

Strange seeing Paul in the field
When NBC News checked in on Paul this evening for a report, he was getting blasted with some snow and wind in western NY. I can't imagine how the rest of his night will go other than being downright cold and wet as he continues to report from the field.

Paul's working in the field now? :blink:

The new daypart/5 day forecast screens debuted a few days ago... In the daypart, when they're going through each hour that's on screen, the sky is animated like old times.

I really like the five day forecast graphic, but I'm not too crazy about the daypart one.

Is TWC a walking billboard for FedEx today? They keep talking about how it's FedEx's busiest shipping day. Well if that's the case wouldn't it probably be UPS' busiest day as well?

Ok so it's been a while since I posted, a little busy, sorry about that :P
Did anyone else get the email from TWC about beta-testing the new weather.com they're supposedly working on? If there's already a thread on it, could someone point me in the right direction? lol sorry

I didn't realize a new weather.com was coming out. :unsure: Sounds interesting. :yes:

I figured a new weather.com had to be in the works. It's outdated and ugly. Hopefully NBC spices it up!
Edit: It appears, through a google search, the link for the beta site is this: i.imwx.com/common/beta/entry.html?next=
but it won't load for me

It's not working for me either. I did see some coding in the page source from that link, so they're probably not done with the site yet.

Jen Carfagno has stepped in for Betty Davis at the 12 PM hour of DP.

Apparently Jen was sick herself according to what she said during the first segment; plus she was coughing quite a bit during her time on the show. She left after the 12:40 ET segment, and Kelly is finishing the show solo. Get well soon, Betty and Jen.

Congrats Kim :D and a Merry belated Christmas to all here. Just thought I'd mention it if no one else has, but on Thursday 12/31/09 The Weather Channel is going to share a preview of the new "Today" page on weather.com(new local forecast page) with it's facebook and twitter followers. Keep your eyes open guys!

Whoa, a Comcast commercial cut into the 4:18 PM EST LF :blink:
-
Yes, I have noticed problems with Cox Communications's local avails on TWC aswell. I have seen local avails interrupt the IntelliStar's warning tickers. I have also seen instances in which the local avails would end DURING THE LF and we would end up missing part of the LF due to the :censored: local avails.
-
I have seen local avails interrupt the IntelliStar's warning tickers.
That always happens everywhere where local ad inserts are broadcasted. Not at all unusual.

Yeah, the local inserts always override whatever programming is playing underneath them. Still, I find it odd that a Vehix commercial cut to the last couple frames of my local radar. I have never seen that happen before :no:

Your not the only one, I'm hearing it too now. Strange audio problems today.
-
Wow, I don't think I've heard the audio THIS bad before :blink:
-
SD viewers are hearing some crappy audio right now. HD viewers are hearing just fine.
Earlier today HD viewers got everything spazzed up, including the LF, which I happened to capture a screenshot.
(http://f.imagehost.org/0609/hd_lf_fail.png)
Yes, Trammell was included. :P
-
TWC completely spazzed out during the last minute of PME, I wasn't paying attention at first when the static came up, I thought Comcast turned off our cable. :lol:
-
Weird, I just saw a TWC ad on ABC Family :blink:

The HD feed's video keeps freezing every few seconds as of right now. I wonder if it has something to do with the problems at TWC last night.

I just got TWC added on my cable system last month, so my interest in TWC has come back a little. Why is it that some of the maps are really bright and some of them are dimmed? I personally don't like seeing the radar dimmed, it looks great when it's really bright if you ask me. Same goes out for other maps too.

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 :P
-
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. :whistling: 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.

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. :thinking:

Same reason they make Jen stay from FO to do 1min segments of news on YWT. To make it seem like they have a variety of people. Dumb if you ask me.

Today a new radio station/newspaper graphic with a winter scene debuted. BTW, does anyone get any local radio stations or newspapers on their station IDs anymore? All I've ever seen here is Sirius being advertised ever since they started this experiment...
-
I saw that sometime today. Weird they are showing a winter background already.
-
I only get Sirius XM (why do I get a newspaper on a national IntelliSTAR :bleh: jk).
-
I get a local ad insert i'll post it when the next ID comes up

You do realize it's January, right? :P

(http://i.imagehost.org/0687/wtf_cloudy_fog.png)
Cloud and fog? Dark yellow? Freezing fog?
:wacko:
-
I didn't even know they still used fog color codes on the weekly planner maps until the other night when I saw them for the first time in years. :blink:
-
Billy and I have never seen "freezing fog" on any TWC map when we talked about it. Those areas are under dense fog advisories right now from the NWS, and the freezing fog advisories are only in effect for parts of Illinois and Indiana. Regardless, that map with the "cloudy" label hugging the yellow "fog" shading is really confusing just to any viewer watching. :wacko:
-
I'm pretty sure the darkness of the yellow color codes depend on how dense the fog is.

This is breaking news to me, I've been hearing so far that most networks are going to air that, I wasn't expecting TWC to air it as well. :hmm:

oh god :rolleyes:

I think I had heard that it was airing on 50 major networks, I know all the MTV networks will be airing it.
-
27, I think (simple TVGuide search). Not needed on TWC.

this is the 3rd time in 1 Hour they ran the Hope For Haiti promo :rolleyes:

It's to raise money for Haiti. Don't complain. They can air it if they wish to

That's a little rude... considering what they've gone through with this catastrophe. :hmm:

I second that.

If TWC is treating the Haiti special as a long-form program and allowing brief periods for local forecasts or using the L-bar, then it all works out okay. After all, an estimated 200,000 people are suspected to be dead from this earthquake in the poorest country of the Western Hemisphere. I know the media coverage has been excessive, but this natural disaster is probably going down as the 10th deadliest to ever occur in the world's history.
-
I agree as well that they can air the special as they wish, but how come it's on so many channels or did the other networks volunteer to air it? I'm pretty sure most viewers who watch will be watching the major networks for this telethon anyway./ Btw, is anyone here watching it right now?
-
I see no problem with them airing the Haiti special.

When will it end? There's no LFs >.<

Very interesting concept! I've read a lot about this scan stuff, mainly with the iPhone though. Neat to see it coming to Android too.
Weather Channel Looks for Customers to 'Scan' App
Feb 3, 2010
-By Mike Shields
The Weather Channel is looking to entice its viewers to start waving their cell phones at their TVs.
The network has launched an innovative new way to distribute its popular application built for Google’s burgeoning Android mobile plaform. Viewers who own an Android-powered mobile device can now instantly download the new app by scanning a barcode that will appear periodically on their TV screens.
Weather will feature the barcode at the 20-minute mark of the shows Day Planner, PM Edition and WeatherCenter. Weather junkies can also retrive the app on the Web by scanning a similar bar code on Weather.com and on several other sites.

Hmm. It's a start. Looks like some good technology that could have some really neat uses when fully implemented:
- Go to a more enhanced story on webpage
- connect with the story/newscast (via @reply, Facebook, comment)
- interactivity with games (scan to play a Wheel puzzle/Price is Right game/Family Feud survey)
- Fantasy scores/stats
- Directors cut of recorded program

Is it that hard to go to the app store and download the weather channel app?

I have a feeling the scanning feature also helps to keep more people watching and boost ratings during those slots.

Yeah, my U-Verse TV Guide showed that WeatherProof and Cantore Stories were supposed to be on...I don't know if this was a mistake, or if they were pre-empted for the Winter Powerhouse. :thinking:

Speaking of Todd Santos. This past weekend, I was watching TWC, and he was on. Long story short, I had to change the channel (which is what we ALL should do instead of complain ;).. or if you complain, state you did indeed change the channel :P). Anyways, the constant "uh" makes me think he is not confidant in what he is saying, which makes me want to change the channel. I know I have complained about this before, but seriously, doesn't somebody at TWC notice this? :dunno:
I am sure Todd would be a great On Camera Meteorologist, if he uh didn't say "uh" all of the time.. :hmm:

Why did TWC hire Todd, then? :dunno: I know they are probably paying him cheap and know he has had previous experience, but if he isn't that good, then he shouldn't even be on TWC. :no:
No offense to any Todd or any of his fans...

I've never been a fan of Todd...

Did anyone else notice that Jim Cantore was reporting live from the Olympics during NBC's coverage yesterday? I saw him doing several weather updates regarding the conditions of the downhill skiing events as they had to postpone some runs due to slushy conditions from the rain and abnormally warmer weather in the Vancouver region lately.

Jen Carfagno, in the meltdown outfit, appeared for about 30 seconds at 2:30 PM ET in front of the key wall for an apparent Chile Earthquake update, which never materialized. They kept adjusting the height of the camera at the wall, like they couldn't quite figure out what they were doing.
Edit: also, no LDL now during Storm Stories.
Edit: Another update at 3:00 PM ET with Carfagno and Dr. Lyons. Also, Jen isn't wearing the meltdown outfit, but something similar; it looked close. :P

Probably so, if she was married or had kids, I doubt she would be taking on this much of a workload. It would be taking too much out of her personal/family life. Unless she enjoys being a workaholic.

I know this wouldn't happen, but if Stephanie wanted to leave TWC, would they let her despite how popular she had become?

It's all up to Stephanie. I do not think a job can "No, you can't leave!" (unless the are under contract..of course). If Steph still had her contract, (if she even has one, which I am sure she does) then I don't think they would let her go until her contract was over.

They're finally updating the graphics on the local forecast videos on weather.com. Check out the Albany video that's up today, looks pretty cool!

Like the concept, but they need to improve the tile composite they're using to create the radar, as there are too many squares absent at a time.

Yeah, it does seem like they just took a mix of both sets. I think they are kinda too cartoonish looking, but who knows they may grow on me the set we have now has except for a few that still bother me because they just look bad.

Well for starters... the rain drops look like sleet pellets... can't tell what icons are snow, rain/snow, etc...

For the past week or so, the right video wall has had a blue line going down the left side of it.

Tonight on NBC Nightly News, they showed two TWC weather graphics of the impending northeast rain storm. One of Titan HD of a radar/satellite, and another of Viz with the estimated rainfall totals. Looked neat finally seeing TWC's graphics in their full HD glory.

That's...odd. :blink: Any video? Which anniversary music was it? :dunno: The LOT8s music?
The music that plays at the beginning of this video.

I went to walmart earlier today, and I saw at the TVs section that there was a promo for Cantore Stories. Something unusual for me, but idk... they just want customers to tune in to that show I guess.

I am pretty sure after Betty Davis said "bye" at the end of Weekend View, Kelly Cass said "holla."
I never want to hear that out of her mouth again..haha :P

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but the SkyTracker/TITAN radars now show data from the past 3 hours instead of the last hour... something that should have been implemented years ago...

Hmm, I never noticed that...
I know this is random, but is it just me or does the font of the Tornado Watch/ Severe T'Storm Warning look similar to the font that's used on the blue LDL where the "now" tab is?
EDIT: After looking at it again, even the font of the crawl looks similar to the crawl on the blue LDL. :huh:
-
Yep, that's definitely Helvetica. :yes:
-
Yep, that's definitely Helvetica. :yes:
Oh ok, I thought it might of been. It's kinda odd because I don't remember our FOX affiliate using that font the last time I saw a warning crawl on there. I guess I didn't realize how popular that font really is.

I have no idea where to put this.
During tonight's Office repeat, NBC ran a Home Depot Weekend Weather bit...complete with an apparently regional 10 second forecast by Alex (and the new HD pillarbars). I have it capped and will get it up sometime.

I heard it last weekend too, so it must be a new thing. Maybe this is the hour Dwight works now? I know he has unique ways with his productions.

It kind of goes with the PME music anyway, so I think it's a good idea. :yes: I have yet to hear it though (since I never can seem to turn on TWC at the right time. :wall:) Does anyone have a video? :dunno:

Lifestyles refers to the gardening/health/safety segments shown at :14/:44, which still exists. They just used to show health and outdoors-related maps prior to that segment before they replaced that with the Travel segment in early 2008.

Those are the breaking news lower thirds. I've seen them.

I just realized that after seeing this video, the way TWC aired their HD promos was possibly the foreshadow of NBC buying them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b60bB4r8uT4&feature=player_embedded# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b60bB4r8uT4&feature=player_embedded#)
I come up with this because at the time, NBC aired all of their primetime programming in 16:9 (meaning it was letterboxed on SD), and if FOX, for example, were to own them and make that same promo, it would have been likely cropped just how it was in Steve's video as FOX never letterboxed their promos like NBC. :yes:

Huh? :blink:
-
TWC didn't know NBC was buying them at that time. When the HD relaunch happened, there were still two main bidders (NBC and Time Warner).
-
Well sorry... :wacko:
I thought that TWC was airing the promos in letterbox because of the way NBC did HD to SD stuff. And after seeing that video I had linked, it reminded me of how the other major networks did their HD to SD stuff, simply by cropping 16:9 to 4:3 instead of letterboxed 16:9 on a 4:3 screen.

Just how they decided to do it. NBC wouldnt bother interfering with that kind of stuff anyway

And also, what is up with TWC's scheduling right now? They're airing the LFs over 2 minutes late.
-
It appears as though the LDA on the HD feed is frozen on "Chicago"
also, did they get rid of the 5 day forecast LDL from the HD Feed?
-
Is anyone's TWC feed constantly blacking out? It does so every ten or so minutes here, with the LDL still working.

Other than the local forecast freezing for a second as it fades from the daypart to my metro map every time, I'm not noticing anything.
On a side note, I must say this is a problem:

I was referring to the regular feed.

Still frozen. :P

No, the times you see the LDL on the HD feeds are the same times you will see the larger LDL on SD.
-
Wow, still frozen.....how long has this been like this? More than an hour?

I was referring to the color scheme clash between the green logo and the LDL. I love the green logo, but IMO, it looks a lot better on a blue background.

Would be nice if they would air local forecasts during this (come on, can't I once see the Intellistar cue over them talking? :P ). Not sure why they were able to do it yesterday, but not today.

At least TWC is smart enough to pre-empt long-form programming when there is a serious tornado outbreak like this. :yes: :hammer:
-
Samantha Mohr and Ryan Goswick continue the live coverage from the little desk, where they've done coverage all night. From this point on for tonight, production value is going to drop as it's fail show hour.

It is indeed. 16:9 feed behind the LDA instead of the feed getting squished to 4:3 and the HD LDL being used instead of just the LDA.

So Weather Center tonight consisted of the following:
- A taped replay showing off Dr. Forbes saying the tornado would be bad
- Interview of a dumb couple who actually argued about what to do in the tornado
- Replays of the same footage and scenes of the tornado over and over again
- More repeats of stories and info by Jim Cantore
- About 5min of actual weather forecasts
- No live weather coverage
I'll just assume the severe thunderstorm warnings over my area did not merit a single mention. ;)

As much as I care about the people impacted, they are going WAY overboard on this. TWC wasn't like this at all after the May 3, 1999 outbreaks in Oklahoma, and that was much worse than what happened last weekend.

I don't like to play the blame when it comes to how things are handled on TWC these days, but I feel that strong influence of the shows being forced to be news oriented over being wx oriented is NBC's doing. (May I remind everyone of the "Balloon Boy" story? :rolleyes:) What happened in Yazoo City, MS and Weir, AL were devastating tragedies and my heart and prayers do go out to the victim's families who lost family members or lost their valuables, but even our local affiliates here didn't dwell on the Yazoo City, MS tornado to the point that they have on TWC and even if they did, I'm sure they would have used new footage and new interviews instead of reusing stock footage they got back on Saturday when the tornado happened. :rolleyes:
-
TWC might want to look ahead to prepare people for possibly another round of severe weather, which I already can see ahead late this week into the weekend for the Southeast. They can only dwell on past tragedies for so long.

I like the new music, a welcome change. It's kind of weird with the sound effects layered in, but they may change that. I wouldn't mind if they DID redo all of the music tracks with that little chime on the end of the WC intro, it's nice and not complicated. In two side notes, I noticed YWT doesn't use its new music much, if at all...can't complain, it sucked >_>...and PM Edition seems to be using 25th Anniversary music occasionally...odd.

None of the shows are using their own music... except WC who has debuted new music. I have a feeling since YWT and WC have new music, the other shows could get some as well. It's slowly spreading.

wait, none of the shows are using their original sound tracks anymore?? the hell? that's stupid, if they were smart...they'd have to new tracks set and ready to go before discontinuing the original.
does anyone have the PM Edition Intro with the 25th anniversary music instead of the original, i'm interested as to how well that fits.

I actually like that music playing as the new music theme on PME. The more I hear it, the more it sounds similar to the original HD music that was being used.

It's been like that on all the shows except for PM Edition and Weather Center since January of last year. As for the former 25th anniversary music, that's generally only used on weekends I believe.

No, I notice it every day. Moreso at the top of the hour, though this week I've also been noticing it at the bottom of the hour too.

I'm not surprised Zach, unfortunately. They only seem to care about what is relevant to the current programming of the time. It's nearly impossible to get anything of yours featured on-air. I have no idea how two twitter comments (one of which Nicole Mitchell based a segment on) and a Facebook comment of mine made it on-air.

Try this Al ([url]http://press.weather.com/logos.asp[/url]). :yes:
Btw, preempt long form today. :blink:
thank you! B)

Zach, I have a feeling some of this weekend's long-form programming will get preempted, too.

TWC just announced that they will be pre-empting "Flick & A Forecast" due to the severe weather. They will be continuing their coverage.
woo! no dual feeds, no stupid movie whatsoever! This satisfies me for some reason. :yes:

Due to Twitter's limit, I couldn't say I miss TWC from 2007 when it was all weather, unlike today with the news. Here's my reply: http://twitter.com/TWCZach/status/13166669271 (http://twitter.com/TWCZach/status/13166669271)

Wow, I can't believe what I'm seeing. TWC is showing a movie when the following has occurred or is ongoing:
- Three people dead and at least 25 injured from an earlier tornado in Arkansas
- Significant damage reported in Missouri from tornadoes with no idea about deaths or injuries yet
- SPC upgraded Arkansas to a high risk for severe weather, the highest category possible
- Numerous tornado warnings are currently in effect for Arkansas, eastern Missouri, and western Illinois
The worst part is that this risk for severe weather isn't over. Who knows what will happen this weekend? I'm just as upset as Jim Cantore. :club: I hope and pray that the local media and the NWS do their jobs, because it seems that TWC doesn't understand the dire need right now.
-

You said it! You'd think TWC would learn by now that all this excessive longform and the movie nights are not doing them any favors. With the activity likely to be stepping up in the coming months, they'll have to have all kinds of issues preempting longform and the movies (including Trammell, which we saw earlier), and end up calling back the OCM's anyways.

They also upgraded Arkansas to a PDS Tornado Watch that's enough said right there.

Sure as heck I'm glad we got coverage for our situation to the nation, INCLUDING satellite. But I want them to get national coverage too! Arkansas = largely rural areas. Rural areas = more satellite. Satellite = no dual feed. It's somewhat of a paradox, and that's unfair. :censored:. They're not TWC anymore. They're "The Kinda-Sorta Weather/Weather Movie/Trying to Please Non-Existent Viewers and Said Viewers are Likely Under a Tornado Warning and Don't Know Much About It Because They Have Satellite and They Have to Watch a Movie on a Channel That's Supposed to Be a Weather Channel." Fits them better.

I've seen the name of the VP of longform programming on the credits from time to time, but I can't place the name at the moment.

LDL-less show on SD (until just a few minutes ago and off again now). And just like last weekend, LDA/LDL on HD covering the bottom. :yawn:

I'm referring to the directors that deal with what to show and what not (like who decided to show a movie instead of very worthy coverage).

You know, I payed $80 for this hotel I am staying at tonight. I'm with everyone else here, in that this evening still deserves attention. But come on, it has evolved into one massive line essentially. As of 5 minutes ago, there are only 3 tornado warnings to be found. Anyone want to tell me what is wrong with going back to the schedule with LFs?
-
Yeah I get home hear on the local news of a tornado outbreak tune into the weather channel to see what's going on and there's a movie. You'd think with a tornado outbreak they'd get more eyeballs(ratings) than a movie. I know the local news eats tornado outbreaks up for their news ratings. You'd think channels like the Weather Channel would benefit the same. Just my two cents. Love the forum.
-
I've been gone for most of the day and I was not in the know of what has happened. Let me make this short and simple here while you can read my long version at my blog (great, I'm making this longer. >_>).
1. I'm with Jim. He has the right to be mad.
2. Like I said in my last post in this thread, TWC CLEARLY stated that they were going to preempty their movie night. Once I come back I heard about them playing the movie while there are a dozen tornado warnings (most of then PDS). I mean, what the hell? 3 people died (iirc) because of the tornado outbreak. I blame partially on TWC.
3. Whatever happened to "WHEN SEVERE WEATHER STRIKES, TURN TO THE WEATHER CHANNEL" ? Thats a big LIE.
Right now I see Sam and Paul. Yes there is coverage, and looks like it's commercial free. I'm glad they're covering it. Let's hope they never do this again. :club:
Jonny, you can have your soapbox now.

Local newscasts are much more reliable than TWC, imo. TWC doesn't know what their thinking when a huge tornado outbreak is active. A movie is not the solution. That makes the channel ugly.
-
Yeah your right there. Though if it's not local they'll give a blurb on the news and after the local news is over with or at least the forecast. I'll turn over to the weather channel and get the full story. At least I used too. I'm telling you with all the channels not sticking to their original formats like TWC. It's really making me thinking about ditching cable/dish and just going all internet and investing in an antenna for the local channels. If I want to watch movies I got netflix for that. I pay to see weather on TWC not movies. Got 50 other channels for that crap. Thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by this severe weather. Just wish some money grubbing executives at TWC/NBC thought the same.
-
I figured they reverse dual-fed the movie - everyone's primary was the weather programming and the movie was on dual feed (for let's say CA/AK/HI/etc).
As of 12AM Indiana still had the movie, I think.
Also - y'all notice that they've been using the little LDL the entire time? Early Weekend View with Alex and Ray even was small.
(Did see Jim go postal on Twitter, too)
-
Only during red mode does it stay small.... it allows for more information in the lower third be displayed.
-
So let me ask this...what special coverage DID TWC do last night? <_< Aaron said the coverage ended at 10 PM, but I thought Flick and a Forecast came on at 7 PM. :blink:
-

Yes, that is correct. When Flick and a Forecast ended at around 12:20 AM EDT last nite, TWC did go into special coverage. However, they kept the Flick and a Forecast schedule. Meaning, they had nonstop coverage, with occasional 5 minute commercial breaks and an LF wherever they feel like placing one in. This ended at 2:26 AM EDT, when the normal schedule of LFs and commercials returned.

I have SO much respect for Jim Cantore. Good for him for sticking up for the viewers! ABSOLUTELY rediculous. While I was not watching TWC last night, I am still outraged that they chose to show an old movie instead of giving coverage to those who needed it most. Does it surprise me they did this, not really. I thought TWC would be better than this, though. Guess not. :hmm:
Looking at The Weather Channel's facebook page, there are several people who are mad. Does TWC even read these things? I would love to know how many people actually watch the movies.
It is just plain sad. :no:
-
Long-form was pre-empted this afternoon...I guess TWC is trying to make-up for the big mistake they made. <_<
I have a lot of respect for Jim, too. :yes: Standing up like that to say how absolutely ridiculous showing a :censored: movie on The Weather Channel takes some bravery. Good job, Jim! :D Wish you could see all our comments right now. :)

-
Anyone want to tell me what is wrong with going back to the schedule with LFs?
Sure, I will. The answer is simple - ad obligations. If there was long-form scheduled, which I think there was, then they have to follow the contracts with the advertisers, stating when a commercial will air, how often it will air, etc, meaning they can only insert a LF every so often.
And honestly, its not that big of a deal to not get a LF on the eights during severe coverage at 1AM.

It was a very bad plan NBC had to turn its new property into another general entertainment channel, and I hope, without serious detriment to The Weather Channel, this plan fails. Enough is enough already.
-
If any of the controversy over this, and many of the other decisions NBC has made for TWC, had occurred to them, things would have changed by now. We all remember how hectic things were last weekend, when the south experienced such extreme severe weather. TWC should have kept their normal schedule, with the normal LF and commercial schedule, through the whole evening. Even if TWC had used the dual feed feature, it would not have been seen by many viewers. Plus, I'm sure there are family members well away from the affected areas anyways. But NBC and TWC are now heartless corporations, and unfortunately there is nothing we can do but not watch. If I'm that desperate to watch TV, there are plenty of other shows at this time of the evening to watch.
-
All I can do is say that it's a shame. Jim Cantore's tweet, however, reminded me that even in a soulless corporation there are still employees with souls. :thumbsup:

Betty(?) said that everyone was getting the movie, but people in the storm areas would be getting coverage as needed. So I don't know what happened there.
-
Heather seems to not be turning her entire body when she's facing the camera as the audio quality gets better when she faces to the camera's right, but sounds muffled when she faces the camera.
-
Not that I agree with the decision, but isn't running the movie not much different than years past when they'd run their other primetime shows during severe weather events? Albeit those didn't take up 4-5 hours of time. I can't remember all the instances where this happened, but my earliest recollection was November 10, 2002 when they were running "Atmospheres" at 5, 8 and 11 PM on the weekends (in reruns, the show was out of production). There was quite a tornado outbreak that day and TWC did not preempt that show on that Sunday afternoon and evening. I remember complaints about that being deleted on the old weather.com message boards.
By the way, they were using the dual-feed here in Cincinnati last night.

He sounds like me when I was in Speech class :P.
I think he does better under pressure. He was not really studdering last weekend during the severe weather outbreak. I actually could stand watching him. He did really well.
-
It now seems they changed the entire PME music package. Prior to the opener, there wasn't any production music and the music was eerily similar to the opener music.
-
Bill Keneely in for Carl Parker on Day Planner. Also, long-form is being preempted this afternoon.
-
They've moved to the small LDL as of 6:30 PM ET. I guess they want more screen real estate should something happen Vortex2-wise.
-
as of 6:35pm EDT LDA has been turned off on HD feed for Tornado Coverage
Intellistar LDL also turned off.
Also no LFs @ 6:38pm EDT & 6:48pm EDT
-
Looks like they're going commercial free. This is something I REALLY like to see.

Can you estimate the EF Damage?
I'm thinking EF4

uh Hes not going to die. He and the rest of the Vortex2 folks are perfectly safe.

Right. The Vortex2 team would never put themselves in harm's way. They're all trained meteorologists who know and realize the potential dangers and how to keep themselves safe in a dangerous situation.

What we have to worry about are the less intelligent folks or those who don't get the warnings. Pointless loss of life

It's OK, you two. :) ;) Mike Bettes knows plenty about tornadoes, etc. to be smart enough to evacuate and save his life. :yes: As Martin said, we need to be worried about those who disregard things like these.

I hope everyone in OK is okay,and I hope they recover safely.
-
They're using the small LDL and L3rds today on PME. Also, the long-form block was preempted again today.
-
Long-form was preempted for the third day in a row today. It also appears that all shows are now using the small LDL/L3rds, even though they used the large local LDL all throughout regular DP today, until they realized their mistake (you couldn't read any L3rds) at 1:30 PM ET and cued the (correct) small one.

Neither did I. I'm just sick of them making changes in the middle of a production. Pick with something and stick with it. If the LDA is off, keep it off. If the TWC HD logo is on, keep it on. The average viewer doesn't give a rats you-know-what, it's not like some deathly error, they probably won't even notice!

So if the average viewer doesn't give a rats you-know-what, then it doesn't really matter that they brought the LDA in (or whatever they did you guys are not enjoying), right? :thumbsup: It's live TV, things go wrong. If the LDA was supposed to be there and was not there, they are going to try to do what they can to get it up. Just saying..

Some of these functions are automatic and have to be overridden. When you are covering severe weather its hard to do it all at once. Try making graphics, coordinating breaks, scheduling interviews, and so much more all at the same time.

Why doesn't TWC show local on the 8s during preemptions anymore? All they show is a one minute forecast at the top and bottom of the hour.

-
Why doesn't TWC show local on the 8s during preemptions anymore? All they show is a one minute forecast at the top and bottom of the hour.
If I recall it has something to do with the fact they schedule LFs ahead of time so when it comes time to preemptions they have to cancel out the programming schedule and automatic lfs. Its just easier for them I guess

Yeah, before TWC became lazy, they actually aired LF's every ten minutes on the 8's.

on the SD channel my cable provider has put up "Channel Not Available, Try Again Later" :thinking:

I can agree/disagree with that statement in ways. It may have been a typo that a producer at TWC made, but ever since NBC took over TWC, their form of production sure has changed massively.

I'm pretty sure it's the fact that NBC laid off all the good control workers and hired inexperienced, lazy control room workers and programming directors that don't know the definition of "theme music," or better yet, The Weather Channel. :rolleyes:

I would say it's not NBC's fault. It is the producer's, or whoever created the graphic, fault. For example, say you're local TV station has a typo on one of their graphics. Who do you blame, the person who created it, or the company that owns the station?
You guys can't keep putting the blame on NBC when something goes wrong on The Weather Channel. :hmm:
And to add.. it really wasn't ALL that big of a deal. I know I would not have noticed..

Well said. It's not like NBC is trucking their workers down to Atlanta to run the control rooms and mess things up. It's a simple mistake that anyone could have made.

Martin, it's my own opinion that The Weather Channel has seen a substantial decline in quality over the years, but especially since NBC bought the network. Sometimes it really does seem that reporting the weather has taken a backseat to entertainment on The Weather Channel, and that the network is now nothing more than another entertainment output machine in the NBC family.
It shouldn't be this way at all, and, at one time, it wasn't.

I completely agree with you, reporting the weather has taken a back seat, and it is sad :yes:. But, the part I highlight, of course, I have to disagree with. While I respect your opinions, I think it is in your head (that sounds like I am calling you crazy or something, which I totally am not :P). I think that some of us just WANT to think it's NBC's fault so we have somebody to blame.
===============================================================
Speaking of TWC :P, Anyone seen the new YWT commercial? (I apologize if this has been posted elsewhere) I enjoy what Mike and Steph say, but is it really true? I doubt the Titan HD RADAR is up to the second. Just saying. I do like the commercial, though. But, the commercial also confirmed I really do not enjoy the color scheme for the show :no:

if I recall, I think it takes up to six minutes to get an entire lower 48 image for each radar image. At one point, I counted 10 frames, and the titan HD radar was up to the past hour, meaning one frame for every 6 minutes or so.

At this time, it's impossible for any radar to do that. It's just figurative speech...it just means it's updated as soon as it can be updated.

:offtopic:, but my local Fox station just used the Global Forecast music. :o

Since when did they start using the animated radar sweeps on Titan?
-
Adam Berg in for Jen Carfagno on FO. O_o
-
Something is terribly wrong with the SD Istar feed. Audio gone and only a Flick and a Forecast ad on the bottom left side with no Istar LDL or even Satellite LDL
Edit: Local Xfinity Ads are working.
Also Blank ID screen so the Istar is down. is anyone else encountering this on their end?

The 9 PM ET hour of Weather Center actually has a sponsor (Wheaties Fuel) in the LDL. Its the first time I've seen a sponsored show in quite a while.

-
Some of these Weather Channel promos are really bothering me. <_< They're always talking about "Staying with The Weather Channel" when yet they deem it acceptable to show a stupid movie every Friday night and use long-form almost all day on the weekends. :angry:
Sure their may be special coverage at some points, or dual-feed usage, but still... :club:
-
Now twc showing another "The Severe Weather Authority" promo
2 quotes from Tornado Survivors on the promo
"I was Watching The Weather Channel, so we are alive."
"You all we're telling us where it (The Tornado) was gonna be."
And Jim Cantore towards the end of the promo says "I would not be surprised if you save many many lives."
I would be able to upload a video of this if anyone would like to see it?
-
Anyone else think they have been very liberal with long-form preemptions ever since Jim's little rant on Twitter a while back?
-
I wonder if people at TWC are actually reading the forums as they are surprisingly doing a normal LF schedule instead of what Martin called "ahead of time scheduling".
-
Excuse my double-post, as it's for a different reason than my previous, but I noticed that the NOTIFY! LOT8s promos they've been showing seem to really have a great fps rate on TWC HD as it's just too smooth. :blink:

I see WN has new production music, I like it!

Ryan Goswick in for Heather Tesch on WN.

Here's the music

As I said, they're going to slowly start using the new music for shows... I know they all have it at this point...
Any rate, here's the new Weather Center teasers... Nice to see the W circle again, but it's a shame we won't see the wooshes and the whip crack sound effects anymore :( They have phased out the shorter openers for Weather Center at this point, and have been using the longer opener exclusively from what I've seen over the past few weeks. I apologize for the audio/video desync

Shouldn't WEATHER be first since it's Your WEATHER Today... :thinking:

Just a heads up...Hurricane Week airs the week of June 7th, and they'll be running two hours of long form in a row every weeknight. This leaves 7 PM ET, 10 PM ET, and 1 AM ET as the only live hours of Weather Center all that week.

That's odd though. :blink: The V2 special, IIRC, was in August last year, and around August was a second Hurricane Week. :wacko:

Speaking of V2, I thought Mike's last day with V2 was Friday May 28. As of this morning, he was still following V2.

Wow... they changed the tropical update intro again, and holy crap it's dramatic... and they do have new title bars for named storms, you'd have to go back in your recordings to the advisories for Agatha to see them, as I don't have them readily accessible. I'm noticing through WUWA, the blue bar at the end of segments before going to commercial break isn't sliding down anymore, it just stays on screen until they cut to the ad, but it seems to be only on WUWA

Too storm-alert themed... they don't need that much red on there unless it's a major hurricane making landfall.

Anyways, I might not have a chance to see them for myself, but this could be the most awesomest Tropical Update graphic I've ever seen. I can even bet it looks incredible in HD.

They also used that titlebar on WV the day Agatha became a tropical storm.
-
I was just on TWC :)

I really enjoyed the last batch of Tropical graphcis/music. I have yet to see the new stuff.
However, I did see the Agatha title bar the other day and had a hunch that the new graphics would involve red.

TWC is using the green screen and old studio during the 1pm ET of day planner.

Heather Tesch was on a green screen today at Noon CT. She also mentioned that "we are temporarily in a diffrent studio" :blink:

-
Also, does anyone think that Heather looks too close to the camera? Or is the SBELSLDL (so big everything looks squashed LDL) just making her look that way?
On our local TV station.......it looks diffrent......they look father away, thus giving more of the background to be shown.....but if you look CLOSELY, Heather is not that much closer, so maybe it is the LDL.
-
i think its the large LDL, The reason perhaps she may be to close, is that we are use to them standing further away when at the video wall, but this is how close most of the OCM's stood during SD production.
-
Also, does anyone think that Heather looks too close to the camera? Or is the SBELSLDL (so big everything looks squashed LDL) just making her look that way?
that's because Heather is at the Chroma Key wall (green screen) she said @ 1pm EDT that "We're temporarily in a different studio" so that must mean something happened in the HD Studio
Also Carl is in the GFC "Global Forecast Center"
-
No, to me, Heather does not look too close to the camera. I definately like the green screen better :yes:

Yeah, I like the graphic..
but the music could be different.

According to one of the DP producers there wasn't a technical error this afternoon, they just wanted to record more stuff with the FEMA director so they needed the studio

I agree. Graphic is quite stunning but the music doesn't appeal to me. I am just glad those intros using those whooshing noises from last year are gone

Yeah, that whoosing was rather annoying. While this year's is better, nothing beats the 2008 graphics and music...

I really liked the music/graphics from 2006-2007. :yes: I know that was before HD, but I wish they were still used. :(

This year's tropical update music seems alright to me. I think it's better than the 2008 music. However, I still think 2005 is the best, and 2006-2007 follows up in second place.

There have been weather warnings for our area the past two days.
Oddly enough, they are tagged with an obs site of "ALHAMBRA" (the Phoenix neighborhood) while everything else is Phoenix, Phoenix Area, and Mesa.
Rest of the STAR seems normal, but...this is odd. Is it to make it appear first, perhaps, by giving it "A"?

The same thing happens on my IntelliStar. On the large LDL when a Weather Bulletin is displayed, the observation site is listed as New Oxford, but New Oxford is not one of the three normal observation sites on my LDL. Coincidentally, New Oxford was the observation site on my LDL on the morning of June 2, 2008 from right after the blue LDL was introduced.
-
Billy and Raymie, those are indeed errors. Please post them in Tech Support. Thanks!

So this morning it looks like the LDA is no longer being used on the HD feed. Instead, a normal-sized LDL that cycles through the cities resides at the bottom of the screen. I'll tell ya, it's nice to finally see TWC live programming in true widescreen, something I haven't seems since the LDA has been around since I got the HD feed. Hopefully it's gone for good!

Yeah they've been doing those for years. The content depends on the ad. The ad before it was travel-related, so the IntelliStar showed local airport delays. If it was an allergy ad, the data may have been the air quality or local pollen count.

Tonight's long-form schedule is a little bit different. Weather Center will air at 8 PM, 11 PM, Midnight, and 3 AM ET.
I wonder which hours will be live with radar and which hours will be the overnight, recorded version. I'm guessing the 11 PM hour will be fully live with the recorded edition being at Midnight ET.
Based on the guide, this schedule will also be used next Friday.

I never understood the Tor-Con scale. It seems like TWC has a knack for making fictitious scales (Golf index etc.). What registers a 10 on the Tor-Con and why does it make no sense to say "this area has a high chance of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes developing tonight"?

The Tor:con index is basically a glorified version of the tornado forecasting that the SPC comes out with each day. Just another marketing technique NBC has up their sleeves. A 10 on the scale supposedly means you are 100% guaranteed of having a tornado occur within a 50 mile radius of your location.

Just because NBC owns the station doesn't mean they come up with *EVERYTHING* on the network... Maybe TWC/Dr. Forbes actually DID come up with this on their/his own without NBC's input. It debuted during VORTEX 2 last year.
-
I doubt NBC created the Torcon index. It sounds like something Dr. Forbes would create to aid his reports and forecasts.
-
It debuted during VORTEX 2 last year.
It did? I've only seen it since like March of this year.

Has anyone else noticed a black/blue/black gradient strip at the top of their TWC live programming picture (including in studio shots)? It only appears when there's going to be an LDL present, and doesn't exist during live LOT8s openers.... I've noticed it for a week or so now.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Let me make this very simple: everything is not NBC's fault. And go figure - you're completely wrong about the Tor:Con Index - Dr. Forbes came up with it himself. He's said it numerous times on air and online on the weather.com live chats.
Oh and BTW - if you want to get technical, the Tor:Con index isn't a "marketing" technique, because it doesn't sell anything. It's more or less a branded not-for-profit product.
-
Just like you have said, I have a right to my opinion. That's how I see it. What you just said has already been said.
-
Just like you have said, I have a right to my opinion. That's how I see it.
Thats not really an opinion but just plain wrong information. There is no evidence to support NBC was involved. It started with Vortex2 and was continued. Simple as that. Why you think NBC is so involved with this and the music is beyond me

I'm glad you said this Tyler...I remember watching a segment on weather.com saying that HE came up with it. :yes: And Dr. Forbes is certainly not one to lie about something like that. :no:
I didn't realize it debuted last year, though, either. :blink: They must not have used it a lot or something, especially since it seems to be explained a lot this year.

They did a short weather update with Paul Goodloe at the bottom of the hour during the 1 AM ET long-form block. The update looked like it was recorded, and it was letterboxed for SD viewers, just like the EEWC reprise during the first week of June 2008.

Actually, no. They were used in February when the Chilean earthquake occurred. :yes:

Correct. And they also used them during the Haitian earthquake as well.

I like that. Maybe instead of using lower thirds they can kill the IStar LDLs and replace the national thingy with the news?

Don't the L3rds cover up a lot of what is on the screen, though? :dunno: Not that I'd really care though...showing a current tornado warning is certainly more important than showing stupid long-form. :club:

She's always on DP Thurs-Fri and every other Wednesday.

Why is it during YWT that they always call it "Local weather and traffic on the 8s"? I think just sticking with the signature LOT8s is sufficient.
-
Some places, such as mine, don't have traffic reports. We have tides and the marine forecast.
I think it's the next step to making TWC less focused on weather if they say weather and traffic instead of just "local (weather) on the 8s.

Since I was so used to him, it's hard for me to see a replacement for Dr. Steve Lyons. :yes: And I haven't really seen any of Dr. Knabb's forecasts either...hopefully he is a good hurricane expert.

I Totally agree, TWC did normal coverage before the long form weekends were issued and i don't know why everyone thinks the "Normal Weather" coverage is too much.
Be thankful TWC is doing coverage because this time next week the whole "long form shouldn't be on Friday nights - Weekends" argument will stir right up again.
-
It looks like all of TWC's tropical graphics for 2010 will be like the "Tropical Update" opener, with text inside the red parallelogram on the water. :yes: These graphics look a lot like Storm Alert though, so I'll be interested what the "real" Storm Alert opens will be like (should there be a major hurricane this year).
-
We might not need to wait for a major hurricane to see Storm Alert graphics. They might use those graphics for minor hurricanes. I don't think Alex will be a big deal, though.
-
Was Alex coverage at 7 CT/8 ET with Chris and Kelly unexpected? :dunno: There was a long period of a black screen (but with small LDL activated) before PME started, and when it did finally start, Kelly was cut-off and there was no LDL for the first 5-minute segment. :thinking:

As for Alex, the NWS, believe it or not, is "overhyping" the storm if you will. They've had a graphic for it at the side of the front page since it was a depression yesterday.

i know both SD and HD use different Ad systems but both feeds are using the Notify Ad.

Yes, long-form is pre-empted today. They've also been covering severe weather as well, so it's not solely Alex coverage.

Haha! TWC is going to jump on this system because they need a new weather story to start covering and its the first storm of the season with an imminent landfall. Interest is high all over the media!
-
Interest is high probably since everyone is concerned whether or not this would affect the oil spill (even though it's not expected to much).

At least TWC learned their lesson somewhat.

Well, Alex flopped when it comes to impacting the US. Time to move on.

They aren't going to move on until it dissipates. Even still, if it takes its northernmost track, which is still possible because there is still plenty of time before landfall, it will most certainly affect the US. TWC really doesn't need to write Alex off just yet. :no:

A few notes/questions about the 8 PM CT hour of Weather Center (since I don't know if I've watched this much of it for a LONG time):
1) At 5 minutes past the hour, Chris was in front of a cool dark wave background. Is this a new part of the HD studio? :dunno: I couldn't tell if he was sitting at a desk, or maybe a chroma key wall was being used. Anyways, it was neat. :yes:
2) Chris Warren is a really good OCM. :biggrin: I like his explanations and how excited he can get about some things. Cantore got all excited tonight, too...imagine the two of them on a show. :D
3) Chris was actually all over the studio today. At one point he was in the newsroom, showing us how to navigate weather.com to find the latest on Alex. I don't know if I've ever seen weather.com on air before. :no: (And BTW, TWC uses Internet Explorer...in case some of you didn't know. :P)
4) Finally, there was an annoying AT&T-sponsored Weekly Planner opener. Is this something new, because I don't like it. :thumbdown: It was more like an advertisement than an opener. <_<

They've used that for some time; I think it started to be used after all the new graphics/LDL/music and stuff premiered. They use that opener for all shows when the WP segment is sponsored.

The waves aren't new. They premiered last year in the former weather.com part of the studio. They put up the vortex 2 backgrounds over there last year, then took the tornado part out and put up the waves, while the rest of the vortex 2 background remained. They put the tornado back for vortrx 2 this year, and once hurricane season began, the waves returned. I hope this makes some sort of sense. Just remember, the former weather.com stuff that used to be there most likely isn't returning. Expect the waves/tornado hybrid to remain for a long time.

I miss that weather.com poster in the studio. :(

This is going to be a silly question, but TWC was never in "Storm Alert" for Alex, were they? :dunno: With the around-the-clock coverage and red L3rds that were used for Alex coverage, it might be hard to tell what a "real" Storm Alert will be, except for the fact that they say "Storm Alert." :thinking:
-
Looks like's the stream's off. <_<
-
TWC uses red lower-thirds for any developing story or coverage for any severe weather, so it's harder to determine when TWC goes into Storm Alert.

When the studio goes red, you'll know it's storm alert.

Very True. That, and I am sure that they will beat the heck out of "We are in Storm Alert here at The Weather Channel for ...." :D

80% of the day, they seem to use those red lower thirds. That my friend, is abusing them. No need to use them other than for storm alert.

I agree with you, but I don't see this trend changing. Using those red lower thirds a fair amount does a good job in drawing normal viewers into thinking something important is happening so that they will stay tuned into the shows.

Turn on Fox News, CNN, or MSNBC and see how many flashing red breaking news, right now, developing, etc graphics you get. Red graphics catch your eye and thus help entice people to watch more. I'm not surprised they started doing this.
-
The only place I don't see Breaking News L3rds red is local news, but even their normal L3rds are red. :P
-
For the first time in what seems like a week, I've spotted a blue L3rd on Weather Center!

Anyone remember when TWC called July 4th by its actual holiday name Independence Day?
-
Is it that big of a deal that they're calling it the Fourth of July? I don't know anyone that refers to 7/4 as Independence Day... everyone I know calls it "the Fourth," "Fourth of July," or "America's Birthday."

They just had another screw-up with Seidel. They went to Paul Goodloe's filed report, then came back live and Seidel was babbling something and the camera was moving around. I want to say this was happening for 10 or 15 seconds.

Mike Seidel live in my hometown, Laredo, TX. This is the 1st time I see a TWC OCM live at my hometown. Has they ever done this before?

LOL! I made a montage of the bloopers, and added annonations! :twothumbs:

Oh my gosh! :blink: What a video! PME was very disorganized today. Even Nick and Vivian were confused...let's talk about the heat...no...about TD 2...ugh. :wacko:
-
LOL at the video. it wasn't just PM Edition; parts of Day Planner were like that as well, I wonder if they brought in a new switchboard operator, and or producer who has no idea what they're doing... :P :club:
also, there is a blooper in your annotations themselves. lol, it should be Nick and Vivan not Nick and Betty.
Also, Nick took note of the issues going on behind the scenes and was waiting for the prompter to cue his line, and obviously it was delayed...which is why he didn't talk.
As for Vivan..."It's has been a hot mess (in the control room)..." :P

LOL then I guess I FAIL....I will change that ASAP...lol :bleh:

EDIT #2: Still no National LDL as of 12:33 PM CT...
This happened a while back as well. Note the snapshots. This one seems to be worse than the last one.

could be cause by multiple things...
sun flares, a tv cable not plugged in correctly, or your headend did something to the input on your star.
but i don't think this is caused by TWC themselves. :no:

I have said it before and I will say it again; I am glad they continue to make use of the old TWC studio on air.
Also, I was watching Weather Center (Tuesday I believe) and it seemed that the entire half hour I watched, Maria LaRosa was in the HD studio sitting at the desk (with the world map as the backdrop) and Jim Cantore was at the "Expert Desk." Not once, to my knowledge, did they use the large video wall in the studio. Maria basically just anchored the show from the desk. I found it interesting.
Did anyone else notice this?

No, that's pretty much how every WC show is done when Jim Cantore is there. He does all of the weather from the expert desk, and whoever is co-anchoring just sits at the desk and handles the news and stories.

Well, not using the video wall could save some energy, but unless its on and nobody is using it wouldn't be very good since they are supposed to be a eco friendly/green channel.

The LDA/LDL combo is frozen on Raleigh now. The animations are present, though.

I'm sure the projector wall is energy efficient at least to some extent. The studio was built using eco-friendly products.

New topo background for Titan....?
-
Looks a lot like the pre-2006 basemaps. I like it.
-
That's not bad for a topographical background. I was wondering when those would reemerge again on the radar segments.
-
On WUWA, they went to Jen Carfagno's desk in the old studio, and displayed on her screen was Titan with the old basemaps.
Edit: Carl was showing a 12-hour west coast radar/satellite loop on Titan, and towards the end of the loop, you could see the basemap change from the old one to the new one.
-
I definately like the new topo graphs :yes:
Unrelated, I am not really a fan of the new weather.com'; luckily I am not a frequent user.

i'm not a fan of these new topo graphic maps :no: something just seems weird about them.

The National SD/HD LDLs have red backdrops as of 3:00 PM ET.

-
It's almost comical that they're doing it already for a Tropical Depression!
-
WHAT IN THE WORLD there is a RED LDL on right now
-
Red HD LDL is up as of 3pm EDT also with TD 3 Radar.
-
They're using that ldl already for this tropical depression. That's kinda early don't ya think? I like it, though, it's pretty.
-
maybe they are trying out the storm alert mode on the new LDL bar. hey you don't want it to mess up in the middle of "Storm Alert" coverage. but now in the "Breaking News" era of weather coverage on the weather channel, it's always Strom Alert when weather related news breaks, now isn't it. who said Storm Alert was only for bad Hurricanes.
-
I like the red LDL. It's pretty. :happy:

some of y'all forget that this is the general area that Katrina started off, it doesn't surprise me that TWC is taking Bonnie seriously. especially now that there is an oil spill, well was.

:happy: Back to the normal LDL. I spy a change in the LDL. Can you spot it?
First picture: LDL on July 24, 2010
Second Picture: LDL on July 4, 2010
-
Would be nice if they'd apply the update to the STARs, but I can see how that can be kinda difficult to do so many updates within a matter of days or even hours.
-
The change: a brighter blue background for the day, temperature, and conditions.
-
So by my calculation, this is the third version of the small SD national LDL.
This was the first one, if anyone forgot what it looked like:

Yea I don't get why they use that logo. Its slightly off from the other one they use. Its just kinda strange they even have two different copies :unsure:
And the fact the IS LDL has weather.com in Interstate :blink: Hey, at least the Helvetica kinda takes me back to 2004 :P
I think someone just got lazy and its not important enough to bother changing it
-
If only they used a Black background for the icon/temps/conditions on HD and SD satellite LDL's (seen attached) so it would be easier to see the icons and text instead of the blue on blue for rain/thunder, etc.

Just those lows are too hot for me. The highs... let's just say I'd melt into a big ol' pile of goo.

Actually, I think he's trying to point out the old version of the IS in that picture, not the temperatures.

Don't worry! Knowing TWC they probably made a 30min special of it to air sometime.

Well, after everybody made me feel bad :hmm:
This was exciting for me because of 2 things:
1. I became a TWC fan while the IntelliSTAR v3 was in service. I had found a snapshot of Memphis' v2 once before, but it was very low quality. And there are no videos of Memphis' v2 on YouTube, just the v1.
2. This was taken on the day of Elvis' candlelight vigil. (someone posted on an Elvis rememberance site to show how hot it was during the vigil.)
-
Also, this was probably taken around the August 2007 heatwave as Memphis did reach highs of around 106-108 all week long.
On a related note, I find this interesting. First time I saw this channel "behind the scenes" from the Comcast headend here. Spot the channel. :D

It has been noted that Abrams and Bettes, ever since the start of YWT with A&B the first two weeks, will never be in the same studio again for more than a week at a time. The closest they have come is this week with four straight days, but Bettes just HAD to take off this morning... Discuss.

It sounds like a local insert, though I honestly didn't know that was possible on DirecTV. I highly doubt a Missouri state senator would pay for a commercial to run in 49 states it didn't need to run in.

Yeah, something weird was going on with the LDL. TWC accidently cued the national one and then the red one for TD Bonnie...it even came with the radar insert. :blink:

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but I was watching a program on the History Channel today, and during a section of the program there was background music. This music sounded identical to the Tropical Update music, however it sounded like a longer cut. In the linked video (property TWCFreak), the part of the music I heard can be heard between the beginning of the video and the 5 second mark. Interesting, as I thought that this piece was made specifically for the Weather Channel, and this show originally aired in February '09.

Not only is it added to the main building, but it's also built underground because I've heard them mention sometimes how the HD studio is like a basement and they have to walk upstairs to the main building.

From this image, I can now see that it is an "add-on" to the old building, but it looks above ground to me. :unsure:
-
that's the HD Studio :yes: but it's connected to the old one as well.
is worth noting that no, the HD Studio is not underground...however the old one was.
-
That is a grand looking building :yes: I love the HD studio, yes I'm disappointed that Weekend View never used the couch but weekend View isn't really that sort of show anymore it seems anyway. The only thing I really do miss is having the "nerve center" so-to-speak of the Weather Channel right there, behind camera. Shots from the expert desk and Satellite Center are one thing, but I do miss Studio 1A, 1B, First Outlook, etc. However, this new studio is awesome :happy:

I agree. I like any news station or network that uses the "newsroom" as the backdrop of their main set. Not quite sure why, Ijust think it is interesting.

Earlier this morning, TWC has a "Humidicon," the higher the number, the worse the humidity. Example: 4/10 chance for humid weather. I find it stupid.

How about if I launch a TWCCON, showing how accurate and good TWC itself is? :rofl:
-
Why is TWC using an index to describe humid weather when there's already an absolute measure for it: the dew point? Many media outlets, including TWC, seem to be making things dumber to the public with these simple indices instead of teaching everyone how weather works. No wonder so many people don't understand weather! :(

Exactly my thought. I actually mentioned something about the TORCON in my tornado presentation in my meteorology class. I basically told them to take that "index" with a grain of salt. While it might be somewhat accurate, it is not scientific. Personally, I don't like the scale, because like I said it is scientific. But, I guess it is kind of creative.
At any rate, Patrick is correct, they are dumbing everything down.

Excellent way of putting it, Patrick! :biggrin: We need to call in Carl Parker; he actually explains things like what dew point is and, of course, how thick lightning is. And I appreciate these explanations a lot...all the better to keep watching him. :)

Right now, they are airing an old version of "Surviving The Elements: Hurricane". They are talking about what would happen if a Category 4 hit New Orleans. They are having to put a Lower Third saying "This show was completed before Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast." I find that hilarious. :rofl:
Why not just film a new episode? They are using the old L3RDs, which the ad covers up half of the person's name anyway.

The same thing happened from an episode of It Could Happen Tomorrow that was about the same thing it aired a few months before Katrina hit and didn't air again until years later. It was deemed the lost episode of that show.

In 1990 Marshall Sease hosted "Force Four," a truly fantastic documentary about Hurricane Hugo. They aired it so many times that year that I practically had the show memorized by heart, but it was so well put together that it was worth watching over and over again. That, and these were the days when The Weather Channel only made a documentary or two a year, so they were always something to look forward to.
Within a year, maybe two, maximum, of Hurricane Andrew striking, TWC replayed "Force Four," with a notice before the program, and after commercial breaks, that it was produced before Hurricane Andrew.
Why am I writing this? :) Because it's the earliest "this program was produced for..." memory from TWC I have, and because "Force Four" was such a good program!
Ah... "those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end..."

Wait until they discover this storm is no longer a tropical cyclone now. There's why I think you never should go to the red graphics until it's a hurricane, but the hype seems to matter more than reality these days.

Now I know why TWC went with Richard Knabb instead of Steve Lyons. Rich is more "alerting" to people as opposed to Steve who was more calm over storms like this.

I thought Steve Lyons chose to leave TWC. Was he laid off? :unsure:
Anyways, I think it is safe to say that no matter if the storm is a weak TD or a Cat 5, TWC will always be in an "alerting" mode. This is part good and part annoying. <_<

Yes, Steve's contract was never renewed so he was let go.

According to http://www.newsblues.com (http://www.newsblues.com)
Wednesday August 11th
>>The Weather Channel hires former CBS chief hurricane analyst
>>TWC's "Hurricane Expert" moves to morning shif
This sums up that Brian is working the Night Shift while Rick Knabb was transfered to the Morning Shift to accomidate Brian Norcross' timeslot.
-
That's absolutely nothing new. Norcross has been on staff for two weeks now, and Dr. Knabb has worked mornings since he started. I can't believe Newsblues is reporting that as news.

Wait, Dr. Knabb only works mornings now? I know I've seen him work evenings during the Ask TWC segment. And does Bryan work the PM hours?

Bryan Norcross made his debut last week iirc :unsure: because the Ask TWC thing was 2 weeks ago

Very interesting to see all of the racked STARS. He is very lucky and I am glad they gave him the chance to visit

How did Jeremy tour TWC? I thought they didn't give tours anymore even those who are affiliated with the network..

I asked him and he says:

Today is the 5th anniversary of the day when the TWC logo changed
-
Does anyone have a video of the logo changing? I realize that they could have changed it during a commercial on the TWC feed, but I mean like on Weatherscan.

I don't think the Weatherscan changed on August 15th; IIRC it remained with the old logo until late September '05 when it received its current graphics.
But here's a video from just before First Outlook on August 15th '05, featuring the last LF opener with the old TWC logo and the first few minutes of First Outlook with the new logo.

It's interesting that a lot of the updates for the IntelliStar and on-air happened during the day instead of mostly overnight like a lot of the recent updates have. For example the IntelliStar graphically updating overnight back in October 2007, but the HD transition is sort of a outliner to this since it happened gradually over a course of months.

Correct. Mine changed along with the logo on 9/27.

According to ads I've seen this morning on TWC, Hurricane Week starts this Sunday. Looking at the listings for the week, a new series called "Riding it Out" will premiere, with the first episode on Monday night at 8 PM ET being about Katrina. It looks like there will be no "Storm Session" this year.
-
There hasn't been a new Storm Session since February 2009. I miss that show. :(
-
And Lightning Rod continues to hang in the balance... It's the show that will never air. lol :(
-
IMO, they have way to many shows already. I'm not even that familiar with Impact TV or Tornado Road, etc, etc, etc... :faint: But I know it's all about the ratings, attracting cable companies, blah, blah... :sleeping:
-

Shows you how bureaucratic TWC has become. Its like the government. Shows get caught up in focus testing, etc rather than getting actual air time to prove itself.
-
And LDA frozen city of the day is...(drum roll, please)...Indianapolis!! :dance: :P
TWC seriously needs to do something about this, because it could eventually burn an image into a plasma TV screen.
-

Sometime yesterday or Sunday, the LDL on the SD Feed was frozen on Dallas Ft. Wort (yea, the LDL was in the middle of transitioning) for over 30 minutes.

Is Day Planner being hosted from the old studio/expert area today? Both segments I've seen thus far, they've been sourcing all graphics full screen, and both Carl and Heather have been in the expert area.

Well I don't know about today but this happened on DP once before. Everything except for the Weekly Planner was done from the Expert Desk in the old studio, and I don't know why. :no:

This morning I was watching Your Weather Today, and I heard Mike Bettes mention "Taking a look at 'Live Action Radar'" SEVERAL time (almost to the point where it was too much). I did not understand why he was calling it by that name. Apparently that is what they are now calling it, because during PM Edition, a graphic with a "woosh" popped up with "Live Action Radar" on the graphic. Kind of interesting they are calling the Radar by that.
-
Eric Fisher is going to be on First Outlook today... *sigh* :wub:

Great now "Cleveland" is stuck on the LDA Today :itsok:

At the very end of the :10 segment in the first hour of Weather Center, I heard "OMG" by Usher playing in the background. I find that.. weird... :blink:

TWC has slightly updated its online hurricane graphics! :biggrin: They've also added a "tropical cyclones map." Cool! :thrilled: Are these changes also in effect on-air?

Yes they are, I saw them during PME today. :yes:
-
The dreaded LDA-only returned with a design similar to the LDL that made HD 16:9 on WUWA <_<
-
i bet this is permanent, WC might have it also. i'm thinking this is the new LDA to accommodate room for the IS2 LDLs
-
If I may: I’m glad TWC brought back the LDA. Ever since TWC debuted the HD LDA/LDL, I’ve liked the fact that TWC offered more info on the HD LDA/LDL than on TWC’s SD LDL.
When TWC brought on the HD LDL, in testing, it was only on during TWC’s long form programming. Which I liked because it was a way to get weather info in HD during long form programming. Long form programming had no weather info before TWC’s HD LDL came on.
As of 10:00AMCT: the old HD LDA/LDL is on DP
-
i bet this is permanent, WC might have it also. i'm thinking this is the new LDA to accommodate room for the IS2 LDLs
As Expected, WC also has the new LDA
so now the LDA will be on the normal HD LDL shows (excluding Longform) and is most likely permanent.
-
I'm confused. :wacko: So the 16% LDL that is used on long-form is now ONLY being used on long-form? What about the LDA L-Bar type concept? And how does the LDA make the screen 16:9? :dunno:

1. Yep, i only saw it on Long form today.
2. the L-Bar as far as i've seen was on DP today
3. TWC doesn't care about 16:9 anymore it seems those days are over.

Thanks for clarifying! :thumbsup: Although this upsets me because I don't see why a local LDL (for the IS2) and a National LDA need to be used at the same time. <_< Who cares about the weather in another city thousands of miles away from you? :wacko:

Pillars in SD :blink:

Mike Seidel in for Kelly Cass on Day Planner today.

No LDL during part of long-form today after the national red SD LDL froze on New Orleans.
Edit: The blue LDL is back at 3:52 PM ET.

Hmm, they're doing the red LDL again? :thinking: I'm not surprised, especially now that they have TWO things to cover.

also, the LDL is overlaying the Ads

See the discussion that starts in this thread here (https://twctodayforums.com/forums/everything-else-twc/general-twc-discussion/msg138637/#msg138637). I'm afraid that this could be permanent. <_<

looks like the red L3rds have been slightly modified.
epic LDL-Safe failure if I do say so myself. (part of the text runs beneath the LDL)

Alexandra mentioned they dispatched 7 teams to the east coast... So far, I can guess: Jim, Mike Bettes, Mike Seidel, Steph, Jeff Morrow, Julie Martin... but who else would they send out? I'm predicting they may send out Chris Warren and Scott Williams too.
-
Al Roker? I wouldn't think they would mention him as part of their "team" but who knows.
Also: anyone else seen the new WUWA/YWT combo promos? Less emphasis on Steph being on Al, it seems.

Yes, I noticed this promo today. I would have thought maybe they would put more emphasis on Stephanie being with Al than being with Mike. Shoot, half the time it's WUWA-Wake Up With Abrams and have Bettes in the studio. Their morning line-up makes no sense to me :P. Lack of consistency.

They seem to be changing them everyday, which is confusing. :wacko: Maybe it depends on who is working in the control room, and some might have not been aware that the graphics had changed... or maybe it's just a preference, not sure.

As found on weather.com, the following meteorologists are doing field-reports for Hurricane Earl:
N.C. Outer Banks: Jim Cantore, Stephanie Abrams, and Jeff Morrow
Long Island, NY: Chris Warren and Mike Siedel
Cape Cod, MA: Paul Goodloe and Eric Fisher <— Your wish has been granted, Ana. :P
-
Confusing indeed. Now I can't tell which ones they're using frequently. I like the new ones better imo.

i just upgraded to Dish HD and noticed that the regular SD version of TWC aka 214 is a sec behind the HD feed. i wonder if the Satellite InterlliStar is the reason for the delay. and also on the HD feed, they didn't show the "Dish Network" logo and "Sirius Satellite Radio" logo on the "The Weather Channel is brought to by you local Cable operator" ad they show, so I guess the HD feed is a raw feed not hooked up to any Star.

HD feeds have no STAR unless your in Nashville or select suburbs with Comcast
As for the Cablevision NYC STAR i think that could just be a feed from TWC to them with the LF coming from one of their Viz computers

Bettes and Carfagno will be on at 7am. Some sort of First Outlook/Early Weekend View hybrid show is on now at the little desk with First Outlook's production crew with Alex Wallace and Ray Stagich.

As Earl quickly moves up into the Canadian Maritimes, TWC is back to their normal schedule with WWCH at 2 PM ET.
Also, the corner ad bug is currently being replaced by a radar inset rotating through major US cities.

Are the ads supposed to be overlapping the radar shots like this and is it happening on SD as well? :unsure: this is happening when programs go to break
-
For anyone that watches WUWA and TWT, do any of you know why the CNBC news and business reporters, like Contessa Brewer and Courtney Reagan, are live on WUWA but not on YWT? Also, on YWT, I really don't like how they get a few-second video of the news anchor just sitting there while Mike and Stephanie pretend the anchors are actually there live; it's so obvious they aren't. I was just wondering if anybody else besides me notices that too.

I've noticed that, for some reason, before the LDL disappears the ads replay. Therefore, I'm sure the radar is really covering up the ads that are always there and right before a break, the ads take priority and cover up the radar. I don't really see this as a big deal. :no:

when will the HD and SD LDL go back to blue, it's 1:17 AM CDT and it's still on "Red Mode" and Earl isn't a threat in the US anymore.

Red LDLs with the random-city radar insert are still being used for PME and, like yesterday, the "Today's Forecast" temperature is unavailable. Don't know why this is happening. :blink:
Also, did PME get new L3rds? I thought the top "bar" used to be all black, but now some of it is a very light shade of gray. :thinking:
-
I noticed last night that the radar in the "ad" space was only showing coastal cities, moving clockwise down the east coast, across the south, then back up the western US. Anyone else notice this, and know why it was only coastal cities?

it was most likely an insert for when earl was still around, maybe TWC will keep this add-on but add each big city that is used on the LDL.
and it would also be sufficient on those new LDA shows on the bottom right instead of that bothersome ad space.
-
That's what I thought at first, but it included cities on the Gulf and the West Coast as well.

is it odd that TWC hasn't gone back to the 33% LDL? or is TWC gonna keep the smaller LDL?

LDL is back on WUWA.
So i wonder if the LDA was a flop?.
LDL/LDA not present on DP most likely because today is Labor Day :P

No, not yet. :no: I wish they would do away with the 33% LDL and LDA, but that obviously is not going to happen. :( My guess is that everything will be back to normal tomorrow.

Watched the opening of WC, TWC is in red mode with the L3rds. TWC's HD/SD LDL is still blue. Since Hermine is here I'm guessing TWC thought why go back to normal now with Hermine here. LR is back on also.

Just saw Rick Knabb @ 8:34pm and noticed he's wearing red (same color of the L3rd and the cone of uncertainty) :lol:

If they did can it they would most likely use this 33% LDL (i caught back in late june) to take the place of the LDA/LDL.

But to the average viewer they want a quick forecast on the small LDL which was probaly the deciding factor. (if the 33% LDL was discontinued)
-
It always seemed funny to me that you get a bigger LDL during some (but not all) weather programming (more weather info with more weather info), but during longform programming, the smaller one (less weather info with less weather info). I know the big LDL would be quite annoying during longform, and don't think it should have been used during longform, just seemed funny.
-
I liked the 33% LDL, it shows a lot more important information than just the small one.
True however some Viz graphics were incompatible with it.. (cut off data for example)

I hope the 33% LDL won't be discontinued. I was very impressed when it débuted, since it can display so much more information than the small LDL.

i hope they get rid of all of them and go back to one. one can only wish :bleh: :P

TWC's tornado coverage on Dallas-Fort Worth kinda reminds me of Vortex2 for some reason. Did they skip a commercial break during the last segment in the last hour of PME? I was sorta flipping channels at that time.

New animated logo during lHDl locals
The Weather Channel HD Local Forecast: With new Animated Logo ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hjs-rl-BVO0#[/url])
It doesn't say |HD| anymore :blink: :thumbdown: :footinmouth:
But I don't hate it too much, although it reminds of something news channels do by always rotating the logo. :yes:
The only times now it says lHDl is during K flavors (1:30) and Long form (1:00) but don't be surprised if the logo is updated to those flavors as well.
-
I would not be surprised if this new logo goes live for everything. Think FOX News rotating logo.

That's what I'm thinking too, as long as the IntelliStar can handle an animation like that. A lot of other news channels, and the Big 3 channels are like this.

I would not mind that at all. It looks nice to me.
Now if only we knew what happend to the other LDLs

I don't mind it either. A local station has a rotating logo as well, advertising the website. I think it is a good idea, because a lot of TWC's promos already promote TWC Mobile and weather.com. (However, I think the weather.com logo is kind of a waste, but whatever :P )

Still not into K flavors or DE flavors yet..
Im starting to wonder if theyre implementing the LOT8s ads into the HD LF now (in phases) :thinking:

During afternoon long-form, they've been doing periodic weather updates on Tropical Storm Igor from the key wall in the studio with the red light above it.
-
Who the heck thought it would be a good idea to put a bright red light up there anyway?!
-
The last (and only, IIRC) time they used the key walls with the red light was during the TWC Outage of January 2008. I don't know why they are using the red light, unless there is another outage, which I find highly unlikely. So, I am confused.

Um the key walls were used until the HD relaunch :wacko:

Random Question from Nicole that I find somewhat interesting...
Random question...if you were going to rename our show, what would you call it?
Thanks in advance for not using this as an excuse to blast programming changes I have no control over! :-) ~N
What would you all answer? And no, Overnight Outlook does not count.. because that's my answer. :P Yet, another show back then has the same name.

I think Weather Center is just fine, but apparently the big guys do not.
-
that's stupid...isn't that the reason why Evening Edition got canned, to centralize "Weather Center"
dumbf***s :censored: (to whoever is causing programming changes)
-
You heard it here first: "Red-Eye Weather".

Is that your idea or is that TWC's? A Name change might not be a bad idea. If TWC puts it on weekends too, it will be better than watching PME at 10PM CT on weekends
-
Wait, so TWC is planning to change the name "Weather Center" to something else??? :blink: Like Al said, I thought EE was canned to make WC a big thing/name, and now they want to can that all together too. :wacko:
-

Just to clarify, I think Nicole was asking for suggestions to rename the second edition of WC (which starts at 10pm/et). I don't see them messing with the 7-10pm edition of WC.
I could see why they want to do this. They probably want the WC brand to be related to specific perks the 7pm show does that the 10pm show doesn't (for example, a live "Lightning Rod" presentation). They probably want to distance the 10pm show from the 7pm for that reason, and I don't blame them.
I for one would like to see EE return at 10pm. Or maybe Weather Center: Late Edition or Weather Center Overnight.

I never really liked the concept of "West Coast" being added to a name of a show. :no:

Yeah, I always thought "west coast" would draw confusion to everyone. I like Tyler's ideas.

I think a major programming shift is happening at TWC, and I don't know the details... Nick Walker just tweeted (http://twitter.com/#!/wxdude/status/25401701952): "Starting Monday, Vivian and I move to a new time. Watch us on "Day Planner" 2-5pm Eastern."
Seeing as how Day Planner has been on at 11am, and not 2pm, I think some major digging around has to be done. Zap2it and TV Guide show no shifts in the schedule also.

my guide shows PM Edition aring from 10-11 not Weather Center. It also shows another live PM Edition at 1AM. So that makes 4 live hours of PM Edition on weekend afternoons/evenings instead of just 2.

TWC obviously still has the big LDL in their system so could something be coming for TWC HD???

it doesn't seem like a miscue, if this happens tomorrow morning/afternoon then it must be some sort of a test.
Also yes TWC HD was also experiencing a LDL Shutoff/Turn-on most likely to test the capability of having a Big HD Satellite LDL in the future - Just my hunch.

I miss the big LDLs. :cry:

I don't. :no: Sure, they provided more weather information, but they took up too much of the screen, and a lot of movies, graphics were NOT fit properly and would therefore be covered up by the darn thing. <_<

WC started an hour early today.
-
Here we go again! The SD/HD LDL were out for most of the 10:10AM CT segment. No problems with the LDL's that I saw from 6:30AM untill 10:10AM. If you ask me, this doesn't look like an miscue I think something's a foot here.
BTW, Love the new Top 5 LDL Ad! however, I think they should have added WC in that ad also.

The LDL cue issues continue... sometimes the small LDLs cue, then disappear two minutes later... then the large LDL comes up a minute later, disappears a minute later, then a minute later, both small LDLs come back... it's been doing this for the last two segments...

Was FO having the same cueing issues as DP??? From that pic, it looks like it. If that’s true, I think something is coming.
As of 10AM CT the LDL has been going MIA in every segment of DP, except now (of course! LOL!) IF anyone is watching TWC this afternoon and sees something, Let us know! Thanks!
-
What the heck was just going on with TWC about 11:55AM CT? Did anybody else see it? The screen just went green scrambles everywhere except the LDL for a couple minutes. There's gotta be general equipment issues. I don't see anything new coming of this, just a problem somewhere they're trying to fix.

While I agree with you, just after that, I saw a commerical for Storm stories for next week and it said there will be live weather updates and then I saw what I think is the new 33% HD LDL! they showed it a couple times! Sorry, no Pics or Vids. Look for it!
-
I thought the HD LDL has been on before? I saw the commercial and recorded it all real quick but didn't think a whole lot of it. We don't even get TWC HD here yet. Pretty much the only channel we don't get in HD, of course.

Great to know I am not crazy. I wasn't sure if it was brighter, or it had been there the whole time and I just hadn't noticed :P. Looks much better.

Interesting how TWC would just pick a random day to turn the lights back on. Maybe they were burned out and finally fixed. :wacko:

"I'm Eric Fisher in for Maria LaRosa" just came out of Eric Fisher's mouth at 10am, meaning Maria LaRosa is officially Kelly's co-host on Weekend View... I mean, we all knew that already, but that just confirms it. Maria is out today, she has no voice...

So what do you guys think about TWC's "Live Action Radar' opener?

Why is this top 5 thing getting so many promos? I don't think its worth all the hype its getting :blink: Wake Up With Al ads ran for nearly 18months. Why not run Lightning Rod ads or something.

ok.. the video wall isnt being used for weather stuff.. its used as a big billboard.. UGH!

okay.. apparently theres a "new" green wall..

I guess they are using the Chroma key to make it easier to see the weather on tv. It does help since the video wall isn't very bright anymore, not saying it ever was. :blink:

Between the video wall having a blue tint, having the brightness go funky live on air, having the video wall backlights get darker and darker, the video wall borders (all having died at some point in time), having the center panel die at one point, I could go on, I'm surprised they're still using it for weather presentations. Just my opinion.
However, I will admit. I'm glad they're being smart about it and windowboxing their graphics on the chromakey as most of their graphics are not 4:3 safe.

Not only all of that but, when TWC debuted their new HD Studio on YWT back in June 2008, the first thought that came to my mind besides this is awesome! Was that I felt that the radar/ maps / weekly planner and 5 Day Planner for select cities on the video wall was a little far out (from the camera that is) than FO which was still in SD and still in the SD studio at the time. Maybe TWC thought of this now because YWT used the Video Wall this morn but not for forecasting. I might be wrong but, I don’t think the video wall is broken because it looked just fine to me last night and this morn.

I think that's how the video wall should have been used for to begin with, like CNN does. It's incredibly blurry for weather graphics and radar graphics and such. I think, assuming this is a permanent decision, that they finally realized this after two years.

You're right, Jesse. :yes: When I saw WC tonight, I could not believe how clear the weather graphics looked on the chroma key as compared to the video wall. If this is a permanent change, I certainly don't have a problem with it. Aren't some graphics still "unsafe" to fit on the chroma key, though? :thinking:

^^^ LMAO
Now that most of you mention it, the absence of the video wall is taking longer than expected. They should have fixed it by now.
-
From what I understand, there is nothing wrong with the video wall. I noticed that they used it over the weekend on Weekend View for the 60 second newscast. I know a couple people have mentioned they are using it for segments like that.
I personally like the chroma-key better. Graphics are more clear on the chroma-key.
-
Now that most of you mention it, the absence of the video wall is taking longer than expected. They should have fixed it by now.
I think it's because of several reasons.
First, the video wall, like many other kinds of video displays, has grown dimmer over time. It requires a very bright display to overcome the effects of the bright studio lighting and still be picked up by the camera.
Second, a video display will never appear quite as sharp on camera as directly-generated computer graphics, such as the chroma key wall. Crudely speaking, think of copying one videotape to another. The second generation is going to be somewhat worse in quality than the first. That's the general idea here. Instead of looking at the video wall directly with your eyes, the image from the video wall has to be captured by a camera, converted to an electrical signal, sent to the broadcast equipment, transmitted via satellite and cable, reproduced on your TV screen, and only then seen by your eyes.
Third, I'm sure the budget does come into play here, as refurbishing the video wall can't be cheap.
-
Yeah, I have to agree with everything being mentioned here. but I do have a question, where is the chroma key located?
-

I think there are two; both of which are located off that little side room with the wave graphics (or whatever is there now). :yes: I know there's definetely that swivel-one, and I believe there is another one on the wall across from it.
As Kyle said, I don't think anything is wrong with the video wall but instead, TWC has made a good decision to use the chroma-key for weather maps and stuff. It definetely does look a lot clearer than the video wall, and all graphics are safe! :biggrin:

-
i highly doubt they're gonna stop using them just like that...they paid quite a lot of money for that unique feature, it's also suppose to be energy efficient.
if TWC was going to ax the video wall all together, why even spend the time and money installing it? not to mention, if they were to get rid of it, it would cost even more money to remove it.

They're not going to get rid of it. ;) Instead, it'll probably be used as a backdrop or top stories promoter or something like that. Something that I think a video wall SHOULD be used for.

The same with me. I was watching TWC, and I was all worried about what happened to the video wall. But it's better though. :yes:

Yeah, I've noticed. Its okay, It just looks like it disappears instead of falls out. I wish the LDL would disappear later so that there isn't this blank space on the bottom of the screen for like 3 seconds before the blue backdrop does disappear. :yes:

if only the LDL would be on during commercials also, that would be a sight to see.

true but, it could be like the new LO8 L Bar or the Earl L Bar that did play during breaks at the height of Earl. When the new LO8 L Bar debuted, I thought to myself TWC could do so much with that new LO8 L Bar. I hope to see the new LO8 L Bar being put on weekends this weekend!
-

It's happened on occasion, ever since the LDLs first appeared in the 1980s, but, of course, this is only as the result of human error or a technical glitch. The only exceptions are, naturally, the scrolling weather advisories.

Yeah, but don't other networks do that (like CNBC and ESPN)?
-
Yeah, but don't other networks do that (like CNBC and ESPN)?
Other networks normally just push the viewed screen upward a little so that their lower display can fit right underneath and not block the commercials. See ESPN's Bottom Line during a commercial break as an example. As Jesse said, TWC and all other networks don't want to hide their ads as they were all paid to show them.

So who's next in line for having their own segments? We have Carl, Steph, Mike, now what? I can bet y'all that Adam Berg might have his own segment about sports weather. I don't know. It seems like TWC is giving a popular OCM a segment.
Although.. I do like Carl's segment. Anything to do with the Earth seems to be his favorite thing to talk about.

Giving each OCM a segment of his or her own makes that person more recognizable to the public and gives TWC something more to sell. I don't think the trend will end here, but I wonder when it goes into overload. If you have too many of these specialized segments, then you lose the live weather time. I think they should only show segments when the present weather actually demands a segment for more insight from an OCM's expertise in that subject area.

Oh, Well I was hoping someone knew where it was on video helper.

A theory... Someone may have partied too hard... Clearly there's more to why they're not using the video wall as a primary source, but this could be a factor...
([url]http://b.imagehost.org/0917/atheory.png[/url])
I can't really tell what's wrong...is that a discoloration or something in the wall? Anyways, couldn't TWC just use one side and not the other instead of not using it all together? :dunno:
And since you brought this up Jesse, you can't bash other people over the head for mentioning the video wall like you did before. :P

Sammy George: Saah hey carl i was wondering how come you are not using the hd walls and why are you using the green screen and when will they return the hd wall monitors (big Screen)

Carl Parker: we're not sure whether this is temporary or not

Are you sure that discoloration isn't just part of the graphic and not a faint line? :unsure:

Don't always believe in what the OCMs say. You're better off waiting until Tyler or Martin get something from a source that's much more reliable. B)

I am pretty sure it is not part of the graphic. I was able to notice it, a lot, when they would do their forecasts from the video wall.

Did they build a new larger greenscreen? I remember there bing monitors on the wall in portrait mode on that wall?
So now they have 3 green screens? lol

Dumbass question: isn't that over in the WUWA area of the HD studio.
And it's totally a temp screen. Really nice temp screen, though.

Yes, and the other two green screens in the studio aren't HD safe, they would effectively have to zoom in so close, they would be dark on screen.
-
So THAT's the green screen they've been using? :blink: I guess it may be for a temporary reason then...can't believe the other two green screens in an HD studio aren't HD safe. :wacko:
(Oh yeah, and I'm assuming your picture was to show the temporary green screen and not Stephanie's awesome uggs, right Jesse? :P)

No.
It would be cool if it were, though. Like the old XL LDL, but more advanced and a blue tint.

I've been told they like the look of the graphics on the screen so it may be permanent in the future. We shall see

Are you talking about the dark spot or the line (Which has been there). There is no reason why they could no still use the wall for graphics even with that area
-

I answered my own question. The LDL is only translucent in the blue shine/halo at the bottom center of it.
-
so, why isn't the HD Studio being used today? :thinking:
-
It might have not been being used because they we're filming the Extreme October segment/show.

PM Edition was removed on the weekdays because of the time changes. Day Planner now runs from 11-5. The earliest PM Edition could start would be 3pm EST because it wouldn't be PM on the west coast until then. It is not worth it for TWC to make a new graphics package for only a 2hr show when you have one already made up

Oh golly Guaranteed White Christmas is back :yawn:

No big details were really given out, the promos just started airing today and the "6 week promotional period" just started for the special event.

It was locked due to lack of activity and because I didn't think there was a demand for it. Programming Graphics/TWC and Your Cable Company took the place of it I thought. If you all want to see it open we can certainly do that :yes:

LO8 L Bar on DP!!!!! I saw it at the top of 2PM CT DP It just like the testing TWC did in late september during DP the 16%LDL opened and closed the segment and the L Bar was in the middle. No L Bar in the 2:10 segment. When TWC did it, it did not look like an error to me.

Seems TWC didn't get the internal memo that this week is Green is Universal Week. All the other NBCU networks now have green logos - except TWC!

It looks like the green logo was installed as of 8:15 PM

i'll check back to see if the rotating logo has the update also @ 10:08pm EST.

During Saturday morning at work, a forecaster had TWC on the big-screen TV. He and I saw Stephanie acting in a segment called "Ms. Wizard." Seriously, when did this segment debut, and why couldn't it be saved for a long-form show rather than airing it during live time? The two of us were laughing and rolling our eyes as Stephanie crushed a can without using her hands to demonstrate pressure. :rolleyes:

I think the segment debuted last month. I think it was integrated into a live show because it probably couldn't stand alone as its own show. I have a clip on YT of the same segment, in which Stephanie showed how to make fog.

At 5:30 PM EST, "Day Planner" was on the screen for about 15 seconds, and then it went to the Satellite LF with Trammell. Only lasted about 30 second though, for Storm Stoires came on right after.

Uh, is anyone elses' TWC SD tiling really bad and unwatchable? Audio drops constantly and the picture tiles and goes black. It's been doing it here in Topeka since about 8pm last night. Local forecast is running okay over it but the data is going unavailable on it and Weatherscan more and more.

I wouldn't be surprised either, and I'm completely in agreement with Mike Bettes. You actually get a pretty heavy fine and could be towed if you don't move your vehicle out of a snow emergency route.

Did anyone watch WV last Sunday? Well, on a map for Monday's forecast (which is now behind us), an XL snow icon slid in for a few seconds and slid back out!
And now, the national SD LDL cues out differently. Instead of the LDL going completely blank and cuing out like it did before, the yellow bar and the TWC logo are still on when the it cues out.

Im digging the space for the travel...only if they would animate the icons elsewhere (on the national LDLs) and add Tampa to the space <.<

TWC Ratings Update (http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2010/12/16/the-weather-channel-ratings-bolstered-by-midwest-blizzard/75736)
* More than 40 million people over the age of 2 watched TWC’s coverage of the December 11-12 Midwest weekend blizzard. This was more people than tuned in to each of the cable news networks. This included 17 million people in the 25-54 range**
* TWC saw its highest daily Total Day (3 a.m.-3 a.m.) delivery figures for the month of December to date among households and people aged 25-54, tying TWC with MSNBC as No. 1 among all cable news networks on Sunday, Dec. 12, among people 25-54.**
* TWC ranked No. 1 among people 25-54 on Sunday morning (7 a.m.-11 a.m.), Dec. 12.**
*Source: SurveyUSA national poll, 1,500 adults, Monday 12/13/10
They really count viewership at the age of 2 :rolleyes:

Some of the icons really are duplicated, but the 3 smoke icons on there appear the same, although if you look closely they suggest animation.
I just noticed if you go to xoap.weather.com, it'll go to the old weather.com, but there will still be current content. :o

I would just like to say - I think Todd Santos' hair is ugly.

Isn't it missing the wind icon that uses the blue arrows instead of the text?

The arrow icon isn't part of the official set. It was first created for foreign weather.com sites (they also had a custom fog icon with a road on it).

Several icons are missing. The only icons that are on that site are the ones that map correctly with weather.com (which is why they are numbered). The only reason they appeared in that folder is because they are part an apparent future Verizon FiOS TV weather widget (which would be cool! the current Weatherbug app is slow, and not detailed enough). The widget will likely come when VZ launches it's new interactive programming guide sometime next year.

This is probably a long shot, but does anybody think they will do live wx updates on Christmas Eve or preempt some of that long form programming for this upcoming Christmas storm if it turns out to be as potent as it's showing up on the European model?

Carl's too good not to have a normal timeslot, IMO. :yes: He knows what he's talking about and delivers the forecasts well. I hope TWC doesn't decide to "phase him out." :(

V2 is not returning but according to the V2 facebook Kevin Smith posted
"It won't. Unless they put clips on the air from the 2009 and 2010 seasons. Some of the organizations that participated in V2 may be out in the field working on much smaller-scale data collection projects in coming years, but V2 itself is over. It will take the next several years to quality control and process all of the data we gathered!"

I've been checking my guide (since one of the perks of these HD boxes is that the guide goes out two weeks), and I don't see anything different :dunno:
The change might take a couple days to a week to take effect on cable boxes because they were already scrambled before showing Storm Stories @ 5 around the end of 2010.
-
My cable box TV Guide with Charter only goes out 48 hours or so, so I can't see anything that far in advance.

So was DP ever in Studio 1C today, or not? :dunno: And what's that Plant City Freeze graphic....

And what's that Plant City Freeze graphic....
the Plant City, FL Freeze Graphic showed the Average Freezes for December and it showed 8 Days below freezing compared to the average 1 day.

Most of the time they avoided even showing the old studio

We have established that the WC and PME themes are library pieces, right? Fox News used them both yesterday.

Do NBC and FOX have some sort of joint or agreement? I see promos about my local Detroit FOX station often on TWC.

Oh, okay. Yes, they are ad insets from Charter. You can tell by a change in audio and a slight chance in picture/brightness.

Another indication that the key walls are permanent, even though we already know they are... the monitors that were next to the video wall are gone.

I find it awkward that TWC's LDL has been up and down all day, Hirad outages, and now I haven't seen a Lower Third graphic in over an hour. I like the new HD radar though.

Do you mean when they show the radar on VIZ?

That radar was being used throughout the day today because of a TWC outage (which also caused the current products and radar outages on the WeatherSTARs and weather.com).

So, why were Crystal and Chris on only at the 7PM hour, and then at 8PM, Todd and Kim C. are on? I thought WC 1 crew went from 7-10?

I'm assuming since long form programming was supposed to be on, they decided to have a different crew on during those hours. I guess Kelly will be there at 10 with whoever is partnering with her since Paul is in the field.

I find it strange that they are swaping Kim and Todd out with Crystal and Chris every other hour. Could it be that they have a lot of work going on behind the scenes?
-
My guess would be Crystal and Chris were scheduled to do the one hour live WC blocks, and due to contract obligations, it was easier for TWC to bring in Kim and Todd to do the block that was scheduled for long form.

lol they just showed an Abrams and Bettes Weather Center opener. Someone in the control room is tired

There are definite recorded segments in here, as there is a lack of transitions between each segment, plus unnatural tossing to Chris and Crystal back and forth.

Dr. Forbes is there for Groundhog day ceremony in Puxatony, PA. I think he goes every year and they cover the ground hog shadow thing.

In your opinion yes, but Chris and Crystal are also in the old studio now, and what would they need to tape? They probably want all live reports since they weather is bad with this storm.

Wow, I guess it's only cable subscribers with an IntelliStar who don't see the SD LDL! It's not that often I get to see it, to be honest... and I'm glad I don't usually have to. Local weather information is appreciated much more. :) That's why I'm so impatient about Comcast fixing its "compatibility problems" with the IS2. I'd much prefer to watch the HD channel, but I can't get a local forecast on that yet!!

That is so well said! :clap:
I still find it odd that TWC's new owner still isn't able to give its subscribers access to the IS2!! Does anyone want to take out bets as to how long it will take? :angry:

I hope they see this and make some positive changes. The good thing is that since they have primetime, they are only showing it when the weather isn't bad.

In which next week (Thursday in particular) would lead to another preemption of this disastrous move, in that case i don't see this gimmick lasting very long (a few months if lucky), Dish will jump on this again and maybe Cablevision/Time Warner which would make TWC have no other choice than to just can this gimmick and revert back to the old schedule.

It is also up to your cable company to actually request it. I doubt we see a widespread adoption of it unless they make it mandatory.

I strongly doubt any threats from the cable/satellite companies will matter. We saw how that turned out. Dish threatened to drop TWC and made a big deal about going to a new channel but then simply decided not to. TWC promised a whole bunch of tantalizing options like WeatherScan for Dish but there hasn't been a single peep about that. I don't like seeing long form anymore than any of you but TWC is at least putting severe weather first. They have weather updates every 30/60min too. Clearly they made changes in the right direction.
I have to wonder how successful long form will be in primetime. I suspect it will be much higher than many of you think. If 400,000 people watch TWC for 10min to see the forecast as opposed to 200,000 watching for a full 60min, it seems as if TWC values the latter because it boosts their rating and increases ad views. In return that means more ad revenue. TWC is desperately try to get people to sit down and watch the Weather Channel for long periods of time. Nobody wants to do that and I hope they eventually get that notion out of their heads. We shall see.
-
Just remember that the only concerns people had with TWC was preemption.. they didnt preempt FAAF on 4/30/10 which got a lot upset but if you look now, we have had a lot more preemptions of long form than what they did prior to 4/30/10.. Back then if long form was preempted (during the FAAF days), they still had the FAAF scheduling for LFs.. nowadays they dont. be glad it isnt worse :thumbsup:
-
So why is the SD feed while using the green-screen zoomed in and things are copped and going off the screen?
-
I just hope they don't show more movies and long form on Weatherscan. :rolleyes: Yet, even our cable system doesn't have Weatherscan, just TWC.

Is it really? Well, that totally contradicts my post in the thread about Sunday being one of the highest watched days (though I wasn't speaking JUST for TWC).
Very interesting they would have Sunday night be their live programming.

I think they were referring to it being Super Bowl Sunday. Not Sundays in general.

Has anyone noticed that they are using a different looking Titan to show graphics lately? Or is that VIZ? Its the one that the map labels are yellow, instead of white.

TWC should be able to re-enable the clock for Satellite viewers, it seems kind of ridiculous to not have one because it a hassle (on the DTV end) to have to constantly press the guide or info button just to see what time it is. <_<

That actually makes sense, since now it's not only satellite viewers (and the viewer with an occasionally out-of-order IntelliStar), but also ALL viewers with a WeatherStar XL, 4000, or Jr. That number might not be absolutely huge, but it's still very sizable.
-
I dont even see the problem TWC has with running 24131/24130 and 27120/27119 on beat-down versions of the IS LDLs just to get time through to viewers... thats precisely what they did until 3/11/10

You do realize that 4000/Junior viewers never saw a clock outside the LF on a regular basis in modern times until the clock that premiered last year came, right?

No. Ever since the earliest days of Stars, there was ALWAYS a clock (and date) on the LDL during programming, and also during weather bulletins (until the scrolling warnings on the 4000 premiered).

What are "modern times"? Since I started watching TWC in the late 1980s, there was always a clock so long as you had a Star - both during the local forecast (with the III and original version of the 4000, except during the ad crawl) and during programming on the LDL. The only time I can think of without a clock is since the new LDL premiered.

The clock on a LF or a LDL is just a nice addition. But is it really a necessity when we now have watches, clocks, cell phones, VCRs, DVDs, computers, and so many other items to tell us the time? Let's not make this such a huge issue, please.

I guess some of us are not accostumed to suttle changes like that, but I agree it's not that important to me either, there a dozen places I can see what the time is inlcuding the watch I wear on my arm everyday.

I like having the clock in the mornings when getting ready, because I don't usually do anything but watch TWC while doing so. I was thinking about this just this morning.

I agree. the clock is very useful for me when it comes to getting ready for school or work. Without the clock, I'd be running late.

Today marks the anniversary on the debut of the new L3rds/LDLs
And the new icons.

And today marks the 18th anniversary of the Superstorm of '93. :D Oh how I wish I was old enough to remember it, it was a remarkable storm for my area, the only storm I'm aware of that dropped a foot of snow at once and the GA mountains saw 3 feet!
Here's a few clips of TWC at the height of the monster storm if you haven't seen them, in the first two videos it's footage of TWC being knocked off and on the air due to the blizzard conditions occurring in Atlanta at the time.

Also one of the news affiliates out of Birmingham, AL uploaded a 5 part series of their reporting there. I would recommend watching them also, interesting footage of James Spann and his analysis on everything that was happening.
-
Great clips - thanks for sharing! I remember that storm very well. Has it already been eighteen years?! :o
-
P.S.: Interesting "emergency feed," isn't it? Thank goodness for the LDL, if for nothing else. Pretty good music, too! :)

That part with the kids jumping into the lake at 20 sec. in I know was used in a LF intro back in the Summer of 2009. I had not idea it was used that many years ago then.

It just goes to show you how much things are recycled these days. Now and then, I'll even see hints of stuff that originated from the 90s.

We'll since its designed in graphics, its more cost effective when they want a studio that looks a certain way for a segment. You could have all the studios you want. Why they need it, no idea.

Ive seen many 3D studio attempts and all look cheesy. I imagine this does too. Its just a two sided green screen anyway

Well that's a disappointment. I hope they don't do that on a regular basis. That's not what 3D sets were intended for IMO. They might as well be in front of the video wall (it would probably look better!).

I fail to see how that (TWC clip) is 3D. It's just a key wall extended to the floor.

I saw this last night and was gonna ask if that was the 3D studio they were using or just a chroma key wall either way there's nothing special about it and looks like another FAIL of wasted money.

With 3D TVs now out in the market, I wonder if this was a deliberate ploy on TWC's part to attract those viewers.

Quite a few things to note from my eyes this morning...
• 4:57 AM-ish i saw the CC hours bumper :blink: havent seen that since 2009 :o but Idk if the music changed due to my TV being muted :P
• New Spring ID is identical to the 2010/2009 one, but isnt as defocused on the flower
• 4:58 AM ET LF - blue LOT8s bug made a comeback
• 5:58 AM ET LF used Rock steady by the whisperers from the primetime list

Yea I thoughts thats been occurring for a while. My guess is the ads are harder to sell than they thought. It has to be specially made and doesn't show much information. Showing the show names is ok I guess but I wish they would improve on the quality of the graphic. I find them to be a bit lacking

Personally, I think the 3D stuff is pretty neat (if it looks more 3D-like than just an extended chroma key). :yes: Now is it absolutely necessary? Well, probably not. But I wouldn't say it's a complete waste of money.

I doubt this costs them much since its just VIZ, which they already have, and they just added green paint or cloth.

...and to think its a rarity to see this strong of severe weather in central FL <_<

I won't be surprised if peter lik's debut causes enough uproar as the flick & a forecast did during that tragic severe outbreak

What we need this time of year is a large severe weather/tornado outbreak like what occurred last weekend for them to consider delaying his show from debuting. They could care less about a snowstorm.

That would really be neat. To pre-empt a premier would be good on TWC's end, especially if there was a HUGE severe weather outbreak.

I was looking back at a video I had from May 2009 and I noticed at the last microsecond this frame of Jim looking very weird the way he's slouched in that chair at the end of the desk. Whatever he's looking at on that laptop certainly has all of his attention. :P (This was when he, Nicole and Kevin were hosting YWT)

It's time for Weather Channel: Serious Business mode with the possible storm outbreak. Chris Warren in with Kelly Cass at 7PM.

WC is always on at this time on Sundays but indeed they did preempt today and i have the slightest idea as to why because with the way it seems this outbreak we have coming up is weaker than the one on Thursday but they didnt preempt for that one :no:
-
Why are they pre-empting for this one? :dunno:
Because TWC is apologizing to viewers due to Peter Lik Dominating Thursday's Storm Coverage.

Well, Monday is the big day. But doing it tonight...apart from hail, no tornadoes, really.

I get the feeling this one will be a wildcard especially tomorrow, we might have some surprises on our hands.
@Alex - I don't think Peter Lik's show has anything to do with it, this is the most widespread severe weather outbreak we are expected to have so far this year affecting nearly half the country.
-
Tonight's "Primetime Programming" has been pre-empted again. Good call on TWC's end, again.

GASP, I didn't think they were ever going to pre-empt their precious "Primed for Excitement." :rolleyes:

Looks like TWC's signal is failing due to the storms moving into Atlanta.

Forgot about this, but two years ago yesterday the first LDA made it to the airwaves

I watched the Peter Lik series a few days ago. I was amazed how the show went, but I'm still not satisfied with the whole concept of the program. I don't see how the show is about weather photography when he's basically taking pictures about landscapes. -_-

I KNEW I had seen this video somewhere. I tried describing it to some forum members months ago, but unfortunately could never find the clip. Well, I have found the clip! Does anyone know what would cause the strange image seen at 2:41? (Note: This clip is from the morning of the 2008 HD relaunch)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tErgXlVbl_M&feature=player_embedded#at=161 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tErgXlVbl_M&feature=player_embedded#at=161)
-
Does anyone know what would cause the strange image seen at 2:41?
It seems that a camera was pointed at someone, and that image was partially superimposed on the weather map or on top of it - it's hard to tell just what layer it's on, since no one's standing in front of the map, so it's basically a 2-D view for that brief instant.
Chalk it down to someone in the control room not paying attention to what he's doing.
-
Hmm, Samantha Mohr wasn't in front of the chroma-key during the 5:29 EDT LWU. Maybe something is wrong with the studio.

The green TWC logo on the IS LDL has the ® next to it. I believe this is the first time that the ® has appeared on the LDL's logo.

Seems the (R) is on the logo on the national logo. It will go away tomorrow night when Green is Universal week is over.

I am right there with you. I am not a big fan of Brian Norcross.
But, I have to hand it to The Weather Channel. I was more than impressed with their coverage of this severe weather/tornado outbreak. Great RADAR updates, and great video showing what the RADAR was detecting. And I cannot believe that Jeff Morrow and crew caught that tornado on camera, amazing.
-
I agree. I was certainly impressed with the coverage tonight, and the past few nights. Dr. Forbes has been nothing less than outstanding in his explanations and analysis of the radar images. Obviously he and Cantore make a great pairing, but as me mentioned above, Carl Parker and Forbes worked very well tonight. Forbes+Cantore+Parker paired together would be really nice to see in the future.
-
I'm amazed by their coverage tonight. Compared to what they've done in the past, this is outstanding. Maybe this event will set them straight in the future. All of the mets are doing a great job tonight, I'm a little surprised with Paul doing what Forbes and Carl did earlier. If anything TWC has earned my trust now.
-
I'd like to know what qualifies Brian Norcorss to have the title "Storm Specialist."
Right place, right time.
-
So, he's a hurricane specialist in the summer/fall, and a storm specialist in the spring. Why not just call him a meteorologist like he his?
By the way, I think TWC did a great job handling the severe weather last night.
-
I think TWC learned their lesson after the whole Friday night movie debacle a few months ago. Hopefully I did not speak too soon. :hmm:
-
I remember last week TWC kept airing promos a dozen times an hour for a new episode of "From The Edge" that would've aired on Tuesday. They showed the promos up until Monday, even though TWC knew that a major tornado outbreak would start, and that "From The Edge" would most likely be pre-empted.
By the way, Monday was the last time I've seen any promos/LF openers for "From The Edge." Maybe I'm not paying attention.
-

IMO, that title should only apply to those who have doctorate degrees, and Norcross isn't one of them.

But Norcross does have a degree in meteorology. He does not however have any severe weather or hurricane realted degree. Therefore he isn't a "specialist."

It's just TWC's way of acknowledging he has some "special" expert knowledge on hurricanes to make him look more important, but he wouldn't fit what I would consider a "specialist" in the field of Meteorology either. Dr. Richard Knabb is the real "hurricane specialist" on TWC now.

The only reason why I know how to pronounce it is because my grandma used to travel down to that area during the winter (Zephyr Hills to be exact.)

She is a good meteorologist. She also seems to ad-lib quite a bit, and I think it threw Maria off a few times which led to an awkward moment of silence between the two.

Did anyone know there was a different lightning bolt used other than on LF's? it looks 06-10 ish to me

I like that icon! Wonder if they're making a whole new set? :thrilled:

I really like the lightning strike, it looks more realistic. Another good change for the icons would be downsizing the raindrops, they're way too large.

I like that icon! Wonder if they're making a whole new set? :thrilled:
doubtful. They're not going to spend money for new icons, and then change them again slightly over a year later.

I doubt it too, but you saw that they got new title bars after a year of just getting new ones.

In this photo you see the colors of the studio have some purple in it. Why don't they do that anymore? All we see is blue and yellow. I liked how in 2008 they turned the studio red for Storm Alert. I miss that. http://img.coxnewsweb.com/B/04/51/99/image_7099514.jpg (http://img.coxnewsweb.com/B/04/51/99/image_7099514.jpg)

I actually don't remember that, but since that shot was taken during EE, my best guess would be that the set turned purple for the EE time slot.

This doesn't quite count as a blooper, so i'll post it here. This afternoon when Jeff Morrow was showing the radar, his click got stuck and shot through his playlist of graphics and he had to pull the button off the remote.

Speaking of which, IntelliStar 22689's Local Ad Sales ticker was gone for a while, but it has since returned.
Also, speaking of 22689, during the LF at 10:48 CT, the narration breaks up during the text-based Local Forecast product. Should I tell the STAR Team?

Danielle Banks has been getting a lot of on air time it seems recently. She doesn't have a degree in Meteorology, and I think she does a better job than some of the other OCM's, and she is certainly more professional. She deserves a regular time slot. :yes:

I agree completely, plus she's definitely a beauty.

On the show title thing in the LDL, PME changed to PM Edition Weekend, and Weather Center changed to Weather Center Live.
-
So they have a new promo talking about TWC. Its Chrystal Egger talking about being new to TWC and how much she likes the company etc. and about her experience there. Its short though.

I saw Kelly and Paul standing on the little platform extending from the main anchor desk when WCL started tonight. I've never seen them do this. Do they always start the 1AM WCL like that?

I like the new graphics and the music package. The sad part: it's the only good one that's been shown so far.
-
I'm surprised they didn't use much orange/yellows. I love the music, YWT needs some upbeat music like that.

Thats exactly what i thought :biggrin: very nice!!!
-
It's certainly the best out of their new graphics, but still, it's nothing special IMO.
-
It may be too soon to say, but I see a return to an emphasis on the "square" formed by the logo, similar to elements in the 05-08 graphics.

The WV intro does kinda remind me of the intros used during that time and it also has a similar look as the WN intro ued in 2001-2003 as a couple of you have said.
-
The new graphics are nice but it seems TWC has lost any continuity with their graphics. With the HD launch all of their shows had unique packages but still felt connected. Now it seems things are a mess of old and new graphics. The lack of decent themed music is disappointing as well.

I agree Martin. I'm sure they'll roll out with new graphics for all shows soon. :dunno:

My feelings exactly. It's a visual mess, more often than not unfortunately. What I don't get is why they're not rolling everything that is new out at the same time to create an immediately recognizable unified look.

The last part of your post in bold is what is bothering me the most about this. I don't believe it's been like that since they went HD, most of the shows may have gradually debuted in the HD studio at the time, but as far as the graphics and the music show themes they pretty much connected and weren't mixed matched with previous show packages like it is now. Also I might sound like a broken record, but I wish they would change YWT's graphics/music theme, I hated it when it debuted in March 2010 and I still do now.
-
Something tells me that TWC doesn't care about its graphics anymore like it used to. Why? I really can't answer that since I think graphics are very important to the viewer. But, like what was said above, the mixing of old and new graphics and rolling things out at different times seems to support this idea. So Jake, I would unfortunately have to disagree with your statement that TWC is going to roll out a unifed graphics package soon. :(

Ass and Hell aren't considered bad words by the FCC anymore, plus used in the right context isn't bad, and it was definitely used in the proper context.
-
Weather Center Live is... well, live all night long as all of longform programming is preempted all night long due to the deadly tornado outbreak in the plains.
-
Does TWC know how inaccurate the storm tracks they use on TruVu are when they set the track to project 2 or 3 hours out? That feature is meant for a half hour to an hour track at most. Beyond that, they aren't useful or accuratel. TWC is doing viewers in the path of the storms an injustice in my opinion by providing inaccurate information, especially when the information could mean life or death.
-
Ass and Hell aren't considered bad words by the FCC anymore
It's interesting how some things that were previously considered obscene are now considered "fine," or some things remain obscene in the U.S. but not elsewhere, and how what used to be considered "fine" is now considered obscene.
For example, you already explained the first point. As for the second point, no one in Europe batted an eye when Janet Jackson showed off a certain piece of jewelry on a certain part of her body because European TV shows bare breasts all the time. Well, not "all the time," but, after a certain hour, it's no longer unacceptable to show them. As for the third point, FCC regulations for sex and sensuality have become so much stricter, while language is becoming more permissive. For example, Homer Simpson once could walk around with no pants on all day long. Now, even his bare derrière has to be covered up somehow, or the network will pixellate it. A cartoon butt!!
-
Bettes saying a** isn't as bad as him saying the F-bomb. xD
-
PLEASE tell me that someone recorded that.....Eric just totally cut Stephanie off on purpose!
-
Really? Did that happen this morning or something? That was rude of Eric.

I was watching a video...notice the IntelliSTAR in the background.

Still... TWC needs to be kept G-rated, it's a news network intended for all audiences.
-
IMO that is G-rated. It was used in a quote, and was intended to show just how bad the devastation was.

Agreeing with Tyler, if you are immature enough to scream out "OOOOO, HE SAID A BAD WORD!!" (yes, some people my age still do that), you don't need to even have a TV.
-
I've noticed the past couple of nights that while they were telling what areas are under warnings, a lot of times they only tell the cities in the warning and not the actual counties. Theres also been a few times where the person (sorry I can't remember who was on at the time) would just point at the area and be like "Severe Thunderstorm Warning for that area". Also there will be warnings up on the map but they "dont have the information yet" on that warning. Can't someone print out the warning and hand it to them? I feel as though their coverage on storm warnings here lately has sucked really bad. :hmm:
-
Does anyone have any footage of TWC from yesterday from around 3-4PM? Looking for tornado warnings where they listed counties in Indiana.

Anyone notice that they had Alex Wallace on @ 4PM Sunday afternoon, then on First Outlook this Morning? They didn't give him much sleep last night. First time I've seen them schedule OCM's like that.

That's nothing... they have Greg Forbes work around the clock (and for a good reason, everyone relies on him).

That Tropical Update Opener looks a hell of a lot better than the 2010 one. The transition to the palm trees swaying in the wind/rain is nice.

Does anyone know what happens if the "Yesterday's Actual" on the Almanac Screen shows "No Report"? Just curious if there was a reboot that I missed.
-
Sorry for the double post...
Stephanie was giving a Florida forecast when she said "These temperatures will give you an excuse to eat those sugary frozen treats at theme parks, and then you can attempt to hold it down while on a ride. I had one experience where....you know what, never mind. Jen?"
I can't remember what she said word-for-word, but it was something like that. I thought that was funny :P

has anyone seen any Android integrated commercials on TWC before?
Jot from Chase
Female Narrator: Scan for your free download now, and get back to the business you love
and has anyone noticed during the Subaru commercial that the weather icons look eerily similar to the XL icons?

I noticed that SW now has its own show title thing in the LDL, but it didn't always have it, even when the other shows did. Does anyone know when it got that show title thing?

It just seems like there is a lot of blank room back there. And the Global forecast center room isn't being shown anymore, its like they're taking it down.
Sad to see, but I can't wait to see what their plans are. :yes:

I'd hope to see them make a mini HD studio for the expert desk/ area. That would be nice.
-
Yes it would :D
-
I hope. Depending on their camera angle, sometimes it's hard to see that TV behind Cantore, Forbes, Parker, etc.
-
I noticed as well. It'll be interesting to see what happens. I am really glad that they are still using the old studio on-air.

I've always thought about sending in a couple of photos, but I can never seem to take any I think are good enough. Were supposed to be seeing severe weather today, maybe if I can get some good shots of lightning or hail I can consider sending in one.

I'm curious, has the studio ever been this red on-air? I can't recall whether or not it was in '08 or '09 :thinking:

I remember them being red during storm alert, which is now gone. I loved see that studio in those colors! Wish they would do that much more often, its visually pleasing to me.

Mark Elliott did the 6:30 PM ET weather update.

I think that may be the news room wall, if I recall...

Is Mark Elliot ever going to be on his own show, such as Day Planner or Weekend View? I think he's all right, and I think he's passed the Live Update test.
-
Not a fan of Mark Elliot myself.
-
Ha-ha, well I guess I have a soft spot for him because he looks like my old chemistry teacher whom I really liked. I didn't like his "Ranting and Raining" segments, but I think he's all right. I would prefer him over Todd Santos, who sounds like he has to clear his throat all the time when he talks.

Yeah, He does an okay job with the videos, but I'm sure he does much better with radio. He and some of the other meteorologists are the ones that do a lot of the daily videos (like 50) for weather.com and other news networks.

They're doing something to the global forecast center. You could hear a lot of hammering and drilling earlier when Carl Parker was at the expert desk. Wonder if they're redoing the whole thing or just building a new small area for the expert desk?

Well, It is the offices where all of the meteorologists work, and its been like that since at least the late 90's or early 2000's (was young, did watch). I can imagine after all of this time they're renovating the entire thing. I really want to see how it looks!

Oh, well I didn't watch way back then, so I wasn't sure.

In the 11 AM ET tease, they used a double-box screen. One screen had the video, and the other was the DP intro :blink:

Hahaha...At the 9:20 AM EDT WOYW, Steph showed a picture from DopplerTom, and said something like: "DopplerTom probably watches the most Weather Channel than anyone else." (Something along those lines.)
And Mike said: "Either him or MartinMMC" :P

Looks like the "3D-wall" is being put to use with Carl talking about the Minot flooding. It's still not THAT impressive, but I think it's better than what we have seen. :yes:

Why not? They just recently changed Weekend Now's graphics, that would be a sign to me that the other remaining shows still carrying the June 2008 graphics will be revamped graphically also. It would be pretty stupid to leave a mixed bag of old and new graphics of snow openers like that imo.

I meant not immediately after the studio change, since the graphics are being rolled out slowly. I would still give the graphics update some time. I was originally going to mention that new graphics were still a possibility in my original post, but I was thinking it would make a contradictory post.

Sorry for the double post, but I just noticed a new station ID. I'm not sure if it's been used before, but it has a beach. What's different about this one is at the end it says "or visit weather.com."

It might have just been that they use the middle one for a background when they're sitting @ the main desk and they might not have had a video source fed into it?

New graphic packages I can understand, but new sets? I don't really see much wrong with the current studio.... :hmm:

Do you think NBC is going to put their logo in TWC studios anywhere? This might be thinking a little over the edge, but it would definitely be "putting their touch" somewhere, as Mike stated. :thinking:

While watching Day Planner (since noon, or about 7 minutes ago :P ) today I noticed that they weren't in the studio at all. Carl was covering Arlene in a small set (in the old studio building, I'm assuming) and Todd and Heather were in the newsroom during the duration of the segment. Heather ran through some maps detailing the weekend, but she was not on-camera. Could they be working on the studio? Were Abrams and Bettes in the studio for Your Weather Today this morning? :dunno:
-
I noticed that the other day.. and when they showed shots of Heather in the DMC you could hear power drills running

Yes, I think they were. Seems like any work they're doing it's while Day Planner is on.

So that's where that sound was coming from. I thought there was one running in my house :blink: Any thoughts as to how much they'll modify they studio? Personally, I am a fan of the way it looks currently (minus the Wake Up With Al set). Perhaps they're finding a way to better integrate the greenscreens into the studio, vs. having them configured the way they are now?

Heather Tesch mentioned the construction work earlier today.
So sorry about the construction sounds! Workers are busy remodeling our work space here at TWC. Unfortunately they some times forget to stop when we are on the air.
On another note, is anyone else having issues with the TWC feed. I'm getting some random squares on it.

YWT/WUWA is hilarious this AM with Steph and Eric. Steph just called Eric a woman, he walked out of the shot, then Stephanie said "Aw, he walked out on me. Not like thats never happened before." :rofl2:

I sort of always liked the NBC logo. I was obsessed with it when I was little because of the pretty colors.
Anyway, that's business and promotion for NBC. If owned TWC, I would do the same thing.

Trevor, NBC owns TWC; it makes perfect sense for them to put their logo on the camera. ;) I don't think I would even classify this as "taking over," especially since TWC's logo is on there too.
-
It's been about 3 1/2 years now. Isn't that about long enough to get used to NBC being permanently apart of TWC right now and move on and get over it? It's not fair that NBC has sensationalized TWC as an entertainment network and as a whole isn't what it used to be, but life isn't fair. At this point you shouldn't even care anymore.

I agree with the post above. Who cares now? One question I want to know is why some of us act like we depend on TWC for weather? Half of us or more try to predict it. Seriously, I'm done caring about nbc and instead of being opposed to it, I'm looking at the positives. I like the idea of how TWC is more of like a talk show now, with weather. I understand not being happy about loosing weather coverage, but you don't need it do you? You have more access to weather content on the internet than you'll ever see on TWC. Face it, we watch because we want to be entertained now or just to get the national outlook of weather. IMO, turn it into a entertainment channel with weather on the side, I'm done caring. Its gone from what it used to be, get used to it. Its old now seeing complaints like "Oh, there not covering weather" really, have you not had enough time to adjust? Not trying to be rude or mean, just showing you the reality. :rolleyes:

That's understandable, but because the NBC logo appears next to TWC's logo on a camera doesn't make it the end of the world.

I agree. My biggest beef with TWC is the whole "Primed for Excitement" schedule. It was comforting that every weeknight, you could turn at any given moment to extended hours of Weather Center, and see full LFs, not the 1:00 LFs. Now, you have to wait until Sunday night for that. During the week, there is absolutely no weather coverage (even when there is severe weather) in primetime, except for 7 and 10pm.
-
Never mind the fact that Comcast now owns NBC, anyway.
It will be interesting to see if the new studio overhaul brings in more of the corporate synergy.

Trevor, you shouldn't have a temper over a logo, it seems kinda childish just saying.
I won't be surprised if in the future there is a logo that has both TWC and NBC adjacent to each other (tv or online).

EDIT: This confirms that this just recently happened. Take a look at this photo from socool775's video from June 14, 2011. Notice how the Satellite LDL is a step below the IntelliStar LDL. Sorry about the quality, I had to make it larger so you could see it.

Either (a: more likely) TWC moved the national LDL up a few pixels or (b: less likely) TWC sent out a update to move the IS LDL down a few pixels.

I believe that this is the first recorded incident of a late cue of the Longform Squeezeback.

The Weather Channel Companies (TWCC) has named Bob Walker executive vice president and general manager of networks and content. Walker's new role will include responsibility for all of TWCC's live and original programming, including on-air and digital content as well as the TWC Radio Network. He will continue to report to president and CEO, Mike Kelly

They did the same thing with Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs and that last Ice Age movie. Granted not as extensive as the Smurfs 3D, but hey money is money. I'm sure they're paying them well to advertise their movie.

The Weather Channel Promotes The Smurfs in 3D 7/28/11 8:28am EDT (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0Fa_JyEols#)

I saw that - it was funny. Not :rofl2: funny, but still funny. :D
-
I'm wondering what's the next show that will get new graphics…
-
ldl red on wuwa -but the local ldl isnt cuing
-
I could be wrong, but I'm gonna assume longform will be preempted tonight during WCL.
-
Have they mentioned what show(s) Jim and Mike will be on live for Tropical Storm Don? I'm working on an XL emulation for Brownsville, TX and I want to use some footage of one of them or both, but I need to know what show they're appearing on so I can pick a time for the LF emulation.
Ignore that post, I see it's extended coverage all day which is good because I'm planning on doing this emulation at a set time between 6-10pm as close to Don's landfall as possible. I do still have one question though, anyone know how frequently Jim, Mike, and Paul will be on during the hour? For example, will they be on like at :10 past the hour or :40 past something like that.

They won't preempt for a tornado outbreak, but they will for a minor tropical storm. Go figure.

Julie Martin and Ray this morning on early Weekend View.

TWC Hour by Hour Forecast @ :03?
-
It seems to me like they are testing a change in the format of Day Planer.
At the start of the show instead of doing a preview with b-roll video and then showing the two OCM's,
they went right to Heather who gave a rundown for the show. After that she went right to Carl Parker for a Tropical Storm update.
Next Heather tossed to Todd Santos her co OCM today who did the Weather Headlines.
As you mentioned there was that hour by hour forecast in the first segment.
In the 3rd segment they did not do the 7 Day Forecast, that was moved to around 35min after.
The start of the second half hour had the same format as the start of the show.
-
New Golf
Also noticed during the Big Picture the Thunderstorm icon with the new Lightning bolt was shown.

I wonder if they got a new weather producer on day planner? The graphics seem a little bit different that usual IMO.
-
I noticed while the OCMs are at the maps on Day Planner the lower third for some of the segments says on the screen throughout.
Usually it comes on at the start then goes away.

Maybe someone behind the scenes had to be somewhere today and the fill-in just isn't as up to speed on what to do.
-
Reviewing a recording from 3pm, the lower third was only kept on screen during the new segments.
The first and last 30 minuets had almost the same format.
At 3:10pm and 3:40pm was the Big Picture Forecast for the nation followed by the Focus Forecast for big cities and regions.
3:25pm was the weekend forecast using the 7 Day Forecast maps style.
The difference was the 7 Day Forecast was moved from the 20min after to 30min after the hour.

While watching my local news this evening, I saw this commercial sponsoring a local Women's Clinic. Listen carefully to the music. It's the same music used in TWC's current Station ID!

Golf Couse Pick Of The Week just aired at 1:43pm EDT with Golf Channel's Holly Sonders

Holy cow, I just saw the Storm Riders LOT8s intro... about time they didnt use the weather.com ones :blink:
-
So the other night (I think it was on Storm Riders), at :08 past the hour I believe, the little "show-name inset" on the left of the LDL said Local on the 8s with just the LDL showing (no squeezeback). Is the use of just the LDL for the LOT8s on long-form something new now? :dunno:
-
Yes, we think that the Squeezeback has been disabled in lieu of the LDL.
-

I really like the weather.com ones. There's a nice variety of them.
-
Yes, we think that the Squeezeback has been disabled in lieu of the LDL.
All the wasted money and effort to program the squeezeback... and now they don't use it!
And it's a shame, too. The squeezeback offered not only current conditions and a look at the forecast for upcoming days, but also the radar and almanac information - very interesting stuff. Even the lower thirds would give more than just the LDL, but they don't use that anymore, either!
The LDL is what I could call the MINIMUM amount of information, but this is apparently what TWC is relying on for virtually the ONLY source of weather information during longform now. For the rest of the time, it's just the program with no relationship to the channel we used to know.

Now, I know that it is still important for golfers to check the weather conditions, its just that I hate corprate takeovers. :thumbdown: (nice photo at least)

Actually, for your information, the Golf Channel and TWC have worked together before, many years ago, during the end of the Live By It era. So, again, you blame NBC, and now Comcast, for something that you have no idea what you're talking about.

If you're going to increasingly play longform, at least the squeezeback and lower thirds gave actual weather info, and showed doppler radar. The LDL offers next to nothing.

On the HD feed at 5:43 pm the program video was shrunk to have more room on the bottom.
There was a lower third on the screen giving forecasts by region.
I checked the SD feed and the video was regular 4:3 letterboxed. It had no L3 giving the regional forecasts.
Anyone know why only the HD feed had it?
At 5:48pm was the regular local on the 8's LDL.

-

There's not much else going on in weather news right now, and TWC always milks a story very hard. However, this one is valid as five people are dead due to a tragedy caused by thunderstorm winds. What hurts me is that it all could have been prevented! They knew severe weather was coming, so why didn't they cancel the concert until the next day and order everyone to go inside? Like I said, if people are clueless about what to do with the weather, our forecasts and warnings mean nothing.
-
First that stage collapse in...Canada, was it? And now this. Both caused by the same thing. I agree with Patrick; if the concert directors had taken a look at what happened in Canada, they would have been smart and called off the concert.
-
There's many questions for this tragic incident. I am a little confused, as I heard on the news that a severe thunderstorm warning was issued 10 minutes prior to the stage collapse but that some people (don't know if it was meteorologists or maybe the concert crew) weren't expecting the storm for another 20 minutes. As soon as the warning was issued, the people should have evacuated. Actually, as Patrick said, the concert should have been cancelled as a severe thunderstorm watch was issued in plenty of time.
Bottom line is, I hope no one even thinks twice about blaming the meteorologists for this tragic event, because they predicted it and issued a warning prior to the storm's arrival. What more do people need? :club:
-
Severe Thunderstorm Warnings are issued all the time, usually for good reason such as doppler estimated winds. But people just shrug it off because most of the time it "isn't that bad". They don't realize that something like this can happen. My guess is that they only think that tornadic winds can cause it. People need to realize that just because it's not tornado-warned, doesn't mean it's not dangerous.
-

How can you say that? This is a huge weather related story and one of the top stories around the country. I see no reason why they can't run the story a few times

Take a look at this:
The stage toppled at 8:49 p.m. A timeline released by Indiana State Police shows that fair staff contacted the weather service four times between 5:30 and 8 p.m. At 8 p.m., the weather service said a storm with hail and 40 mph winds was expected to hit the fairgrounds at 9:15 p.m.
Bursten said fair officials had begun preparing in case they needed to evacuate visitors for the impending storm. At 8:30, additional state troopers moved to the grandstand to help in the event of an evacuation, according to the timeline.

The first you might think is that at 8pm officials should have called off the concert and indeed they probably should have. I have a friend in the entertainment industry who explained that it isn't so easy just to do that. The National Weather Service did their job but I also feel that the people in charge of the event were trying to do the best they could to respond to the situation. It is easy to point fingers and assign blame but I believe the best thing anyone can do is learn how to improve communications and try to prevent it from happening in the future. When you are dealing with tens of thousands of people it is hard to maintain a proper chain of command.

Glad to see Terri Smith is still at TWC. I remember when she first started and spent a lot of time on the overnight shift, which is when I watched TWC during summer vacation from school... much to my grandmother's grief. :)

Should the SD and HD Satellite Feeds still have LDL's? or should TWC remove them?
-
Should the SD and HD Satellite Feeds still have LDL's? or should TWC remove them?
I think one of two things should happen.
Preferably, the XL would also get an opaque background so that the satellite feed can keep its LDL, and viewers with both an IntelliStar AND XL can have their own local LDLs. (4000 and Jr. are in such a minority I won't count them.)
...or...
Less preferably, the satellite feed would lose its LDL so that all the Stars can use theirs again.

But... could the XL be programmed for its opaque LDL to stretch only 3/4 of the way (or thereabouts) across the screen like the Intellistar's can? TWC isn't going to want to give up that lower-left corner to the local LDLs again.

Technically speaking, they can, but whether they're going to invest the time into doing is very unlikely.

I don't think there's any such thing as "generic" weather icons. There are so many that it's really not possible to separate them into "generic" and any other categories, other than describing them by certain attributes.
-

so far i haven't seen them on the 7 day or anything other than happening now, hopefully soon we'll see the changes on all the basemaps.

I hope the base map is changed too... Its way too dark. I liked the original basemap from Titan, the 2009 version(s).
-
They've been using those for a couple weeks now. Haven't seen them used anywhere else.

TWC needs to be consistent with its icons! :club: Maybe these were "default" with the program or something, but seeing too many different types of icons can be confusing I think.

That's true. It reminds me of the 1980s, when certain maps had their own icons, distinct from the icons used on other maps. Order finally came to TWC when the "Weather you can always turn to" period premiered when "You need us for everything you do" ended and all of the maps finally became coordinated.
I loved the edgy jazz of "You need us for everything you do" and the calm serenity of "Weather you can always turn to." Oh, that was my youth!! :cry:

Interesting camera shot they did at the beginning of WCL where they showed from a distance Crystal and Chris standing in front of the big desk from the left side and then showed Chris walking over to the new green screen from that same left corner. I'm not sure if that was a mistake or not, but I know it's a camera shot they don't do often.

It's way too early for storm alert mode, in my opinion. Basically, all they're saying now is that the entire state of Florida should be prepared for a possible landfall or near-miss during the second half of next week. We don't quite yet know where, we don't know exactly at what strength, but... be prepared.
It's a good thing to let people know ahead of time that a tropical cyclone may be coming. But such an advance warning doesn't require sounding alarm bells quite yet. The first two storms this year (Bret and Emily) that were "supposed" to affect Florida just didn't. Irene seems a better bet, but... you never know. It could do what Emily did and fizzle out.

I can picture the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season. A tropical wave forms right off the coast of Africa. Storm alert for the entire Gulf and Atlantic coastline for the next two weeks. :)
-
:facepalm: Guys, guys, guys, are we going to go over this every single year?
I agree with the posts above; TWC is hyping this thing and possibly sounding an alarm too early, but that's what boosts their ratings. That's what makes people want to tune-in. And most importantly, that's what makes people prepared.
One thing I think we all can agree TWC needs to work on is a good balance between enough weather coverage (don't show long-form 24/7) and excessive or hyped weather coverage (we don't necessarily need red mode for a TD just forming off the coast of Africa...yes I know this situation isn't THAT bad). But it's hard to be real critical if The Weather Channel is doing their job for once, even if it is a little overboard.

TWC is preempting longform due to Irene. They will probably continue to preempt it all the way until Sunday. Would be an excellent time to start the September playlist imo...

I doubt it, especially with Irene on the horizon. I think it'll start some time around Labor Day.

First possible landfall of a hurricane in two seasons? Yeah, it makes sense that they are making a huge deal. I mean, really, it is. I was tuned in last night, and Kim Cunningham kept repeating that they aren't trying to scare, just prepare. Unfortunately, I think that does get people scared or worried, but I know that's not what TWC intends to do.

First possible major in 6 years! That's a long break, my concern is there are folks who think automatically this will pull an "Earl" or "Igor" on us a be a miss and that would be a terrible misconception to make. For one thing the pattern is not the same as August 2010 when we had persistent troughs works as "brick walls" to block hurricanes from hitting the East Coast.
-
6 years, huh? I thought Ike in 08 was the last major hit
-
6 years, huh? I thought Ike in 08 was the last major hit
Ike was a Category 2, a major hurricane is a Cat. 3 and above, but it was the last landfalling hurricane in 2008. I think the last major hurricane was either Rita or Wilma, I'll have to check on that.
EDIT: It was Wilma.
-
For a Cat 2, Ike has caused a tremendous amount of damage in Texas

It's barometric pressure was comparable to a Cat 4. Hurricane. Had it not of gone over Cuba it very well could have been a Cat. 4 as far as winds at landfall.

-
Alright...I sorta take my last post back. Probably because I haven't been following Irene that much until now. Though I have to agree, it's been a while since TWC covered a major hurricane and this could be pretty much it.
-
I'm very glad to see TWC proactively preempting the longform well in advance of the storm. I've been watching their coverage and it really reminds me of the "classic" days-weather information when you need it without having to wait for the 6:00 news. They have the experts and the technology, it's great to see them using it. Maybe they are overhyping Irene a bit so far in advance, but I'd rather see them do that than ignore it like they did with longform during so many severe tstorm events this summer. Let's hope they keep up the great coverage and also that Irene curves out to sea without hitting land.
-
TWC has always been good about their coverage on hurricanes. We never seem to have to question that. It's mainly the severe storms/tornadoes in the country that we sometimes have to wonder about, although I admit TWC is getting better with it.

They were better back in the day. Sadly, the network lost its way since.

I agree with both of you. Their hurricane coverage just hasn't been the same since Hurricane Katrina (I beleve that was the first hurricane that was covered after the logo change and the first to feature the "Storm Alert" theme music). I too also miss John Hope. :cry:

I don't think it's a typo, I think it's supposed to say "Breaking Now"
Anybody a little surprised Jim is still in the studio tonight? They sent Mike Sidel out to FL (he'll probably be relocated) and Eric out to NC. I figured Jim would be the first or one of the first to be deployed out to a location for Hurricane Irene.

Nah they want to position him once and thats it. Probably waiting for accuracy to improve

Whats going on with the radar in the corner of the screen? It keeps bobbing up and down and jiggling. It affects part of the LDL they broadcast as well. (Not the part generated by the IS) Its very odd

Steph said at the end of YWT, she's heading to the Outer Banks for Hurricane Irene tomorrow.

She said on her Facebook yesterday "Seriously need to pack, but if you were to place me and Jim Cantore for Hurricane Irene coverage where would you put us & why? The Weather Channel and weather.com"
so Jim is going also.
-
Mike Siedel and his crew have moved to Nags Head, NC.
"We've arrived at Nags Head, NC ahead of Hurricane Irene. This is the view from my room looking south. Al Roker will be live tonight on NBC Nightly News on the right near the dune and I'll be on the left closer to the water, 5-8 PM ET and back at 6 AM ET tomorrow."
-
Jim's on his way to Cape Cod then Providence, RI
Glad to hear he's coming back to New England.
-
There's going to be lots of live coverage for this one! Here's the list (also on weather.com, but I'll post it here anyway)...
Outer Banks - Al Roker and Stephanie Abrams
New England - Jim Cantore
Nags Head, NC - Mike Seidel
New Jersey - Adam Berg
Norfolk, VA - Eric Fisher

Didn't they have about six people out in the field for Don the Dud also?

Adam Berg!? :blink:

Adam Berg!? :blink:
Yep, gang! :biggrin:

Won't this be Adam's first time out in the field for a hurricane? That'll be something. :D
You know, it's kinda interesting Julie Martin was covering for Hurricane Dolly and hasn't been out on the field for a hurricane/tropical storm since. Also I don't know about anyone else, but I would like to see Carl out in a hurricane for once.

Can't remember. :no: But I don't remember this many field reporters for storms in previous years, so I guess TWC has expanded its live coverage "program"...probably to attract more viewers.
Carl Parker out in the field...that would be neat! Maybe he doesn't want to do it, though. :thinking:
-
Steph once reported from my town after that nor'easter back in November. Would be interesting to see Adam here.
-
I think Adam Berg is a great addition to the field team. I also like when Paul Goodloe gets out there.

I'm surprised he wasn't sent out, but maybe since he was sick the other day...

Except for the LDL, i'm shocked that TWC is not in Red Mode yet, yet alone Storm Alert (If there is a Storm Alert anymore) Could TWC be getting the red stuff ready for Storm Alert? I wonder if we'll see a L Bar like we did for Earl??

I think what were seeing now is about as close to a Storm Alert were going to get. In fact, I believe it will be like it was pre 2005 when they went into Storm Alert (called "Alert Mode" back then) and I wouldn't be surprised if we see limited to no local forecasts shown similar to what they do during severe weather events this year so they can extend their live programming once Irene makes the first landfall in NC. We'll probably be seeing the LF squeeze back occasionally on air.

i hope they don't go that far, because i want to be able to record LF's from saturday night until monday.

It's just a theory, we'll have to just wait and see what they do the next 36 hours. Also I'm reading on other forums that Jim Cantore is relocating to NYC now. Can anyone confirm this?
-
Jim just tweeted 15 mins ago #NYC

Jim just tweeted 15 mins ago #NYC
Ah, thank you. Well looks like Jim has pretty much sealed NYC's fate for Irene. They better head out while they still have time. :P
-
If a Cat 2 does hit NYC (like it could), it's a guarantee we will see a storm alert like we've never seen before.
-
This is like the first ICHT episode: a Cat 3 hitting NYC. The worst of all, none of our neighbors or friends are even paying attention to the storm. They're too busy planning for the mall or movies this weekend. :rolleyes:
-
I thought TWC only used "Storm Alert" for major hurricanes (cat. 3 or higher)? :dunno: Although Irene has reached this status, it's expected to weaken before landfall.
-

As I mentioned before, They can make exceptions. Ike was one of them only a Cat. 2, but it's pressure equated to a Cat. 4 so it was able to cause more damage had it only had a pressure/wind intensity of a Category 2.
I kinda agree with Matt, if there is a "Storm Alert" as we know it as, this may be the most intense one we've seen because of the large area it's going to affect.
-
What is taking TWC so long to start storm alert, if there even is one?
-

Probably won't occur until tomorrow evening at the earliest. Irene's eye wont reach E. NC/Outer Banks until Saturday.
-

I'd wait until NHC issues hurricane warnings along the coast before checking. Normally, that's how it worked in the past.
-

It wouldn't be the strength, it'd be the massive amount of people and property that would be affected. Nobody really know what will happen to NYC if a Cat 2 hit...flooded subways for weeks? Wall Street under water? Skyscrapers with no windows at all?
-
What kind of coverage is TWC doing now? (I'm sorry, but I don't have access to a TV to watch). I thought they were already in "Red Mode" because of the red LDL and red L3rds I saw earlier. And longform has definetely been pre-empted. Anything else TWC is doing yet to extend their coverage (i.e. less commercials or omitting some LFs)?
-
Whoa, whoa, whoa...wait. I heard that SA Music was cancelled?
-
it was mentioned in the past SA was discontinued, which is why it hasn't been on in years.

True, that's why I thought it was more of an assumption than it was proven to be a fact that it was discontinued.

TWC is now in Red Mode as of the start of WCL tonight. Where TWC goes from here, who knows.

OK, so what is this "red mode"? How have they increased their coverage? :dunno: Is anything red that wasn't before?
-
I think he is talking about the Red LDL...which has been for about 4 days now... :thinking:
-
I hate to burst anyone's bubble, but if SA ever commences (which I think should be tomorrow during WCL at latest), I don't think it's going to be as "exciting" as we once remember it to be. The only difference between SA and now we would be experiencing is an opener that says "Storm Alert" and SA music on the LF. The change from regular to alert mode won't be as drastic, considering they have already started using red L3rds, a red LDL, and pre-empted long form.

This whole "Weather Channel Social" is already getting annoying. I mean, yeah its nice.. but, whenever the average viewer wants information about storms, this is a little unnecessary.

It's gone beyond annoying, it's becoming overkill. Leave it to them to run something good into the ground. It bothers me more that they won't stop mentioning about their partnership with Twitter on this. Like, who cares? :P
Anyway, DP is using the LF squeezeback instead of a local forecast.
-
So Far the :28 used a Normal LF, also appeared at :58.
If that's the case i completely agree with the move so i can catch the Radar/Satellite on :28/:58

But honestly, its completely unnecessary when viewers are looking to get useful hurricane information.

TWC's Live Stream Coverage for Irene is up

Wow, thats the entire raw feed with LFs and commercials included :blink:

So...um...we are going full steam with no dedicated locals (just squeezebacks)?

It's better than having no locals at all. ;) I'm pretty sure TWC is in "full-alert" mode now, even though they're not putting the name "Storm Alert" with it.
On another note...here's the updated list with the field reporters and their locations.
Long Island, NY - Al Roker and Stephanie Abrams (Do they HAVE to be together ALL THE TIME??? <_<)
New York City - Jim Cantore
Nags Head, NC - Mike Seidel
New Jersey - Adam Berg
Virginia Beach - Eric Fisher
Atlantic Beach, NC - Jeff Morrow
-
It's better than having no locals at all.
I don't know where you got it's better than no locals at all, the #1 reason viewers watch TWC is for a Real Local Forecast (not for rushed and fake powerpoint Squeezebar) and especially not seeing a Local Forecast at either the :28 or :58 is a complete waste of utter time just to put up to 5 minutes of commercials in its place :club:
Especially those viewers in the affected areas of Irene may have wanted to see the Tides and Marine Forecast (who don't have internet) or the Radar/Satellite (who don't have Weatherscan) in which that fake L-Bar doesn't even have.
-
Yeah, it really doesn't make sense, especially in areas that aren't affected by the hurricane, but could have their own severe weather to deal with. The squeezebar makes much more sense during longform. With hurricanes more severe than Irene, TWC still showed the actual LOT8s. I don't get why they changed now. :dunno:
-

While there was a more primitive L-bar in previous years, the current incarnation hasn't existed so long, so there weren't any severe landfalling events like this one before the new L-bar came out.
-
They might be skipping dedicated LFs to keep people interested and from switching to another channel to find Hurricane news. I find it annoying and hopefully for future events they will go back to the dedicated lfs. I always thought it made sense to keep the dedicated lf so they could have longer breaks and didn't have to create filler content.
-
To me this coverage seems lacking. Do you notice that not one TWC OCM is going to be at the landfall of the storm? We are used to seeing Jim, Mike and Steph bracing hurricane force winds and bringing live coverage as the storm hits. I am unsure why TWC decided to report briefly on the OBX about the preparations then move everyone north before the storm hit. I guess they wanted their high ranking OCMs in the metropolitan areas of the NE to increase viewership

What are you talking about? Jeff Morrow and Mike Sidel have been in NC the whole time they arrived there and haven't been moved. In fact they have been on this morning. If you ever watched TWC do hurricane coverage in the past, they obviously have a system of where and when you see certain OCMs, Jeff and Mike (occasional reports from Steph and Al) should on during the morning hours while Eric, Jim, and Adam would appear during the afternoon and evening hours.
As far as the coverage lacking and the debate over the elimination of the traditional local forecast, not to defend TWC, but I guess after three years they have gotten rusty. Eventhough I would like to see the traditional local forecast, whether it's the entire hour or only at 28/58 past the hour, it doesn't bother me that I'm not because I'm not watching TWC to see that, I'm watching to see their coverage as the other 100+ million viewers are and many of those viewers are most likely not seeing or expecting any turbulent weather from Irene or anything other disturbances from cold fronts, outflow boundaries, ULL's, etc. so they have not reason to really complain to TWC about not seeing a LF. As Eric mentioned they are just "experimenting" with something new to do during Hurricane coverage as we all know TWC loves to experiment. I'm assuming this experiment is going well or else enough viewers would have complained and we would be seeing the traditional local forecast again by now.
Another "experiment" you would think they would have tried would be to eliminate or reduce commercials and right after finishing a segment of their coverage every let's say 6-8 minutes (I'm not sue how long average wise they are) ,they would cue right to the local forecast whether it's 1 minute, 1 min. 30 seconds, or 2 minutes and cue immediately back to the live coverage while still showing the local forecast squeezeback, making it the best of two worlds.

What are they calling this program? At 6 they had a "special weekend WUWA".
-
I'm glad my area has weatherscan, but I just feel bad for those viewers whose provider doesn't have it and don't have internet has to sit there and watch that dredded LBar with lack of LF content

Did anybody see those IDIOTS that drove up waving on air during Eric's live shot? He got really pissed off about that saying how stupid they were being for being out in the storm.

At least their wasn't a streaker like there was when Jorma Duran did a live shot a few years ago.
And as far as the commercials, I don't think TWC will ever cut them down. It would be nice to go straight from live coverage to the traditional LF, but I think the commercials have to stay. <_<

Stephanie Abrams, Adam Berg and Jim Cantore made occasional live reports during the 7am -12pm hours also.

For those complaining about the coverage, here are some numbers to wrap your heads around:
Hourly breakdown of Irene coverage:
Live weather coverage: 42 minutes (70%)
Commercials: 18 minutes (30%)
Hourly breakdown during normal coverage:
Live weather coverage: 32 minutes (53%)
Commercials: 18 minutes (30%)
Local Forecasts: 10 minutes (17%)

What the :censored: :censored: was the deal with the live shot of some local news guy in RI and all the kids sitting on a wall behind him? Did anyone else see it; think it was around 1 PM ET.
Although they weren't in the middle of a storm, it's so darn distracting to see all the people who want their 10 seconds of fame, waving, and doing whatnot. <_<
-
Still lots of traffic behind Eric Fisher at 3PM in VA Beach. They don't seem too concerned apparently.

I guess there are just some people who like to be outside to experience extreme conditions firsthand.
I remember one day a few years ago when I had to go to work during one of the strongest blizzards in Massachusetts in a long time. I had to open the store, and I walk, so I left early, and that was probably the hardest walk of my life. The number of customers who somehow managed to drive to the store in barely-plowed streets and whiteout conditions (!) was staggering. None of our staff wanted to come, though, so we opened five hours late. But we apparently would have done quite a lot of business had we opened on time, because nothing was stopping our customers from coming in the anticipation of shopping!
-
Some people like to go shopping during major storms because they figure the stores will be less crowded, provided they're open. I've gone grocery shopping during snowstorms for that reason, then again the store is less than a mile from me. It's still not worth going out if it's too dangerous.

Little after 4pm Eric was commenting on people riding bikes.

What the :censored: :censored: was the deal with the live shot of some local news guy in RI and all the kids sitting on a wall behind him? Did anyone else see it; think it was around 1 PM ET.
Although they weren't in the middle of a storm, it's so darn distracting to see all the people who want their 10 seconds of fame, waving, and doing whatnot. <_<
Andy if you lived in MA, like i do you would notice RI residence and especially SE MA residents love getting fame on the news, especially with a storm like this coming up the coast. so i don't see that RI incident as totally shocking :lol:
I'll be uploading a couple of WeatherScan Clips on Irene on her affects on New England and they should be up by hopefully Monday (if my power goes out)

The LDL is blue now

It's now red again.

The LDL is blue now
This happened on more than one occasion, I saw it blue several hours before this, but when they returned from a break it was red again. I don't remember what time during the day this was though.

Ironic, Adam Berg just interviewed Irene. :rofl2:
-
LDL is officially back to blue as of 8 PM ET.

LOT8's is back now finally, too.
EDIT: Well, back at :28 and :58 at least.

So the progression of alert mode is:
Longform suspension
"Red Mode"
LF suspension
Commercial suspension (as needed)

Found this on TVnewser earlier about The Weather Channel ratings for Hurricane Irene. Thought I'd share.

Another reason why TWC is "The Hurricane Authority." :yes: As much as we hate it, I will admit that they do a good job of keeping their ratings high by having long-form during low-weather times and expanded, continuing coverage during major weather events, like Irene.

Meh, it's not too out of the ordinary when they do wall to wall coverage on events like this, they had similar ratings during the April 27th Tornado Outbreak and probably during the Joplin MO tornado too. It's sorta expected that's why they kept showing that promo during Hurricane Irene about how it's good to have millions of friends. :rolleyes:
-
I thought all the networks did a good job with coverage, TWC included.
-
I'd agree that they did a great job. :biggrin: Its just that the only time I ever get to watch TWC nowadays is their severe weather coverage and not for any stupid long-form shows. Anyways, TWC did an excellent job. Even on slow and quiet weather days, I still think they should drop the long-form programs.
-
Carl Parker seems to be doing special reports these days. I like him.
Todd Santos' voice bothers me. He goes from appearing to need to clear his throat to talking REALLY fast. I mute it when he is on or change channels. Seems as if the producers could see this.
Whatever happened to Jonetta Jones. I liked her.

TWC is has pre empted taped programming for live coverage of the possible tropical storm that could impact the gulf coast and TS Katia in the atlantic.
Carl Parker and Jim Cantore are on.
They are using the clear TWC bug with no LDL except for the local on the 8's.
-
Wow, they really seem to be hyping this thing. Guess it's so they can brag about being the "Hurricane Authority." I am surprised when you said the LDL is missing. Think it'd be red by now. :P

I believe because of the flood potential most likely, Some models have New Orleans seeing 10-20 inches of rain because of how slow the tropical system moves. HPC has NO seeing nearly 20 inches within the next 5 days. If this becomes "Lee" it'll be pulling an "Allison" only in LA instead of TX this time. I think their biggest concern is levees could fail again. That's an enormous amount of rain for them to swallow at one time.

The Big Picture segment they do now kinda reminds me of the Weather Stories segment they used to do right before the weekly planner back during the live by it era.
EDIT: Did they redo the Satellite LDL? It looks like the blue is darker and the templates that display the weather info look black. It looks much better this way imo.
-

I think the bar got darkened, however, when I see it on my tuner, it looks like the red templates seen on the red LDL... worth mentioning that HD feed is the same way too

The darker blue looks good, but I don't like it that the boxes with the weather info side them are now black. :no:
-
Um, why has TWC stopped its coverage of Lee to show Storm Riders? :dunno: That really makes a lot of sense. <_<
-
Maybe they're assuming it's late and that Lee coverage could take a couple-hour break, especially considering they have pre-empted for such a long stretch of time. This may give the OCMs and producers a break. Weather Center Live will be returning at 1 ET, according to weather.com, and coverage should be continuous torrow.

During taped programming they have the maps of lee on the bottom left and the logo is the regular solid logo.

WHOA! They just started WUWA..... it was a video file. I thought WUWA was getting started 4 hours early.
-
The SD satellite LDL that they're currently using looks like something special they're using for Lee coverage. It doesn't transition in like the normal satellite LDL and the Lee inset satellite seems to appear in congruence with the LDL. Furthermore, the LDL seems to be a darker shade of blue than the normal one.

Back to Irene ratings. I am not surprised that TWC was the number one source. Like some of you have already mentioned, their programming sucks, but when it comes to covering the weather (especially severe weather events), their coverage is great!
The only problem, in my opinion, is Bryan Norcross. He seems very uncomfortable while on-air and seems to stumble from time to time (I know nobody is perfect). He seems to know his stuff, but I just don't think he is great at communicating it. Dr. Knabb is great.
On the other hand, TWC did a great job with having Carl do updates from the expert desk during severe weather events. He is a fantastic meteorologist, and definitely communicates that in a clear, concise way.

They need to rename the 7 Day Forecast to the 5 Day forecast.
When it aired during the 11am, 12pm and 2pm shows they only went from Monday to Friday or Tuesday to Saturday.
-
Does anyone have the 8:48AM HD Sat Local from yesterday? One of the screens was just the windy icon, filling the whole screen.
-
TWC is MESSED UP right now....no LDL, static on screen, and NOTIFY! ad is the only thing that is not staticy.....
:blink:
EDIT #1: Static is gone, still no LDL.
EDIT #2: Still no National LDL as of 12:33 PM CT...
This happened a while back as well. Note the snapshots. This one seems to be worse than the last one.
Old quote, i know, but i forgot to say, but the Saturday during Irene coverage, the HD feed did this exact thing at about ~9:40 AMish...

I'm gonna assume long form programming is going to be partly or completely preempted today. That seems to be the only time this happens so far.
-
Is there a reason for the different scheduling today? Lee has produced devasting effects, but the storm long gone now, there are no other landfalling systems right now, and I see no sign of severe weather in the country. Are they still pre-empting for the flooding in the Northeast? :dunno:

Well my theory turned out to be wrong, looks like Storm Stories will be coming up next as Nick said not too long ago. If you want to see a positive of this, it's only being shown during DP, the squeezeback hasn't shown up on any other show so far in this fashion.

If it's what I'm thinking it is, we got one at the station I worked at right before I left. Ours was basically another remote. It would clear anything the mets had drawn on while using the chroma key. I believe it had other functions, but since I left right after it was installed I never noticed.
It could also just be a marker (as in where to stand). When I clicked the image McAfee threw me to a warning page so I decided not to view it full. :dunno:

I'd say floor mic, but that wouldn't make sense. Also, the squeeze back is being used during Weather Center currently (8:42pm)

I doubt twc will get rid of the lfs like that permenantly. Twc would die without the lot8s

The only thing I could think of is maybe a teleprompter scroll petal... But they usually don't read stories at the green screen...

The problem with the L bar local forecast is it makes the video window on the SD and HD feeds way to small.
It's not worth getting the extra programming time if the video window is to small.
Just go back to the full screen regular local forecast and be done with this test format.

You might as well tell TWC Public Relations your solution to this whole mess.
-
I forgot to mention this earlier, but when they showed the LF squeezeback on DP (I think it was during the 3pm hour) It showed the one for satellite viewers instead of the one for IntelliStar viewers.
-
The other thing about L bar squeeze back LF is that on the HD feed it's framed for 4:3.
If they framed it for 16:9 they could make the video window bigger and have more space for the graphics.
They need to start formatting for 16:9 and letterbox all programming on the SD feed.

The first L-bar from a few years ago was better in terms of picture size. However, I think this may have been before HD.
-
When the L Bar was used on the HD national feed all they had on the left side was national forecasts with a radar map.
I did not find it useful. It turned the video frame area to 4:3 which to me defeated the purpose of having a 16:9 video frame.
For me the worst HD screen layout was when they had the L bar and giant LDL on screen leaving less then 4:3 space for the video.
The current screen layout is fine for me I just wish they would start formatting the maps for 16:9.

Wasn't there an issue with the amount of space the 33% LDL took up? For example, I think I remember it would cover up practically the entire state of Texas on the Weekly Planner maps. But maybe it would look alright now that those have been updated...
If we really wanted to bring it back, put it on long-form. :P
-
I can say for certain the 33% LDL will not be returning.
-
I can say for certain the 33% LDL will not be returning.
That's a shame. It's a great loss of information that could be displayed, especially considering TWC is reducing local forecasts to only two an hour. The regular LDL isn't detailed enough, and the L-bar still leaves plenty to be desired.
I was so excited when the 33% LDL first appeared, and I was looking forward to seeing more of it. You can imagine my disappointment when it was discontinued.
-
Since that's the case they should enhance the 16% to show the info the 33% showed. another reason they must've switched the format is because of music royalties/cut music playing time (removal of 4 K flavor LFs)
-
Since that's the case they should enhance the 16% to show the info the 33% showed.
I'm not quite sure how this would be possible, given the very limited space of the small LDL. Other than the line identifying the location, there's only room for one line of text with graphics. No radar, no daypart or extended forecasts: only one line each for current conditions and forecasts.
The 33% LDL would certainly give more information, which is why I am so puzzled and disappointed that TWC categorically refuses to use it. Two local forecast segments are hardly enough, the L-bar is distracting (and a terrible waste of empty space on the HD feed), and the 16% LDL is barely adequate considering the greatly reduced amount of weather information on the channel. The 33% would at least help to fill in the gaps, but TWC won't use it.
Now I'm wondering just how much longer it will be before TWC becomes a full-fledged network with only weather-related programming, with perhaps just an hour or so in the morning and evening reporting on the weather in a news-style presentation. At one time, I would have thought such a thing impossible. Now, I'm thinking it's only a matter of a couple of years, if even that long.
The network I once loved is disappointing me in ways I couldn't have even dreamed of.

That won't happen. They'll never want to give up that ad space. They earn money by showing ads, not by showing radars.

Do they even show ads on the LDL anymore? All I have seen for awhile are the show names only.

They rarely show an ad on WUWA and YWT anymore so basically the ad space argument is out the window, and don't you think its rather pointless to show the programs name in ad space if you could see it on your cable or satellite's guide? :yes:

TWC apparently changes their long form shows every 3 months... because Ive noticed since this past week different shows are airing at the long form times :unsure:
Right, they normally do it each quarter. In the past twcmediakit.com or press.weather.com (can't remember which one) have released each quarter's programming schedule. Not sure if they still do it anymore, however.

Eric Fisher during Weekend View sunday morning 9:30am EDT
"I love this, a Great musical collection The Weather Channel uses both on Local on the 8s and Programming"
Seems like both Jen and Eric liked dancing to Castor - Daft Punk in the morning (Song played before he mentioned above).
-
L bar Local on the 8s played at 9:58pm ET. :dunno:
-
Was long-form on today at 5 PM CT (6 PM Eastern)? I was just able to get a very brief look of the TV at the National Weather Center, but it looked like the full-screen LOT8s was being used at like :08 or :18. :dunno: The NWC has the DirecTV app, so I got to see that too.
-
I haven't seen local on the 8's all evening. It's been the L bar ever since I've been watching at 9:58pm, even at the top and bottom of the hour..
I hope they didn't transition over to the L bar for good.. that would be the stupidest decision TWC has ever made..
-
The locals will be temporarily coming back during all live programming until they can fix a few things and send out an update. Then the squeezeback will return for :08/:18/:38/:48, and the locals will only play at :28/:58.

They are definitely heading in that direction.

Will the LDL and on screen graphics eventually be framed for the 16:9?

I wonder if by "fix a few things" they mean bugs and technical issues or changing the look and layout of the squeezeback a little. :thinking:
-
I like hearing the locals at :08, :18, :38 and :48 again. The squeezeback makes a lot more sense during longform, IMO.

Agreed, but whoever in TWC saw the L-bar as an enhancement during live programming is totally wrong.
-
Will the LDL and on screen graphics eventually be framed for the 16:9?
They already are on the HD feed. I've heard rumors that the SD feed will eventually be letterboxed, so that all programming will be 16:9 no matter what feed is being watched. How that will affect the SD Intellistar LDL or L-bar, however, I have no idea.
But these are just rumors, so they may or may not be true.
-
On the K flavors during WCL, the smaller version of the LOT8s bug from SW is being used.

I'm pretty sure Traffic isn't a part of Max. On WSI's website, its a different product... not even named Max Traffic. They probably didn't invest in it.

Haha, sorry. Was looking at the other pages. Max Traffic is a new product? Looks nice...
-
I just looked at the Press Releases and didn't realize how new it was. It was just released 9/22. I thought it was pretty old. That must have been an older, different system that went with Titan.

Maybe TWC was already in the works of adding this? time will only tell.

WN used their intro music again.. wondering if theres a different producer doing the show now :dunno:

Yeah, YWT usually uses theirs, but usually WN uses a production track

Anyone know why they are using an odd OCM schedule for Weather Center Live tonight?
7pm Paul Goodloe & Kim Cunningham
10pm Chris Warren & Crystal Egger
1am Paul Goodloe & Kim Cunningham
Is this a test that might become a permanent change or just a change in schedule due to something else?

To be honest, I would rather see Paul and Kim on "early" Weather Center than Chris and Crystal. I miss the old days when Paul and Alex did EE together. :(

I agree strongly. Kelly Cass should be on it more often, too, but she has her weekend nights I guess.

They have a different OCM schedule tonight to.
7pm Chris Warren & Crystal Egger
10pm Chris Warren & Crystal Egger
1am Paul Goodloe & Kelly Cass
Kim and Kelly were on the 7pm and 10pm shows doing news and social segments.
So each show has up to 5 OCM's on the air.
Two main OCMs doing the forecasts, two others doing news and social segments and Cantore at the expert desk.
-
About Trv Vu Max Traffic the Programming Group must agree for it to air on the Stars, it would be nice to see what the graphics look like on the IS and the IS2 (that would explain why the LDA and the 33% LDL were discontinued)
-
So it looks like the "Live Weather Update" has been re-named to "Weather NOW," at least it was between WCL and ICHT last night.

TWC has extended Weather Center Live into the 11pm hour for the storm in Florida.
Kelly and Paul are doing the forecasts with Jeff in the DMC.
Dr. Greg Forbes and Bryan Norcross are at the expert area.
Local forecast graphics were not on screen 11pm till 11:06pm.
This started at 9pm ET according to Kelly from Facebook,
"Kelly Cass
Heading to studio to break into long form programming...we are pre-empting for developing coastal low off east coast of Florida. Also, tracking rain in the middle of the country! See ya at 8CT, 9ET!"
-
This is not a fun storm I'm living through. The last time I experienced weather like this was during Hurricane Bob in Massachusetts in 1991.
My 30-minute walk home from work this evening was absolutely miserable! Umbrellas don't work when the wind's blowing at 50 mph, so I got totally drenched as I was fighting against the wind. There were times when I was trudging ahead leaning forward at quite an angle just to keep moving.
My apartment building lost power at around 6:00 pm when the transformer blew. It came on a couple of hours later, even though the power company originally said it could take until tomorrow morning. However, the worst of the storm is still to arrive in Daytona Beach, so I'm keeping my flashlight handy.

It looks like Chris (and maybe Jim?) had the day, or could have the week, off. Who normally works with Paul during the 10 PM hour of WC since Nicole Mitchell's departure?
-
If I'm correct when they started the new prime time format Chris Warren & Crystal Egger did Weather Center Live at 7pm and 10pm. Paul Goodloe and Kelly Cass were on at 1am.
Eventually Chris Warren & Crystal Egger did all three editions of Weather Center Live with Paul and Kelly doing the weekend editions.

I don't like Crystal or Chris either, then again I don't care for most the new OCM's anyways.
As for Sam, how long has she been M.I.A. for? I imagine it's less then 2 weeks then she is probably on vacation

Aren't biographies on weather.com usually out-of-date sometimes? Anyway, what shift(s) did Sam even work? I thought she was just a fill-in and maybe even just a weather.com meteorologist. Unfortunately, I never cared much for her because she too had a lack of personality IMO. :hmm:

She's still posting, and there are even a few recent pictures of her in-studio.
-
Samantha mentioned in a FB post in August that she will no longer be a regular OCM on TV and would be doing taped segments.
Apparently she is doing video forecasts for Weather.com.
Checking Weather Center Live tonight it's Chris Warren and Crystal Egger doing the forecasts.
Paul and Kelly are doing weather news segments and Kim is doing the social segment.
It seems the regular schedule for Weather Center Live is to use 4 to 5 OCMs.
Between shows I would guess Paul, Kelly and Kim are doing the weather updates.

That video of the people acting so disrespectful to Eric pisses me off to the highest extreme. :furious: Yes, I understand people desperately want their fame on TV, but I had no idea there was yet another streaker (clearly seen this time), plus other jerks who walked in front of Eric while he was doing his live shots! I don't care how famous people want to be, that was beyond unacceptable. I'm very distrubed to see such jerks. <_<

This one was not the best...primarily because he was talking to someone on the phone. And although we love Jim and his excitement, I'm sure the person on the phone was having a very painful time dealing with all of Jim's drama.

I think TWC has hit a record for the most OCMs on Weather Center Live.

According to the TV schedule on weather.com, looks like WCL will be on until 2AM ET (11AM PT) tonight. No long-form this evening :dance:
-
TWC definitely knows when to pre-empt long form, thus they are able to get the increase in ratings all the time. :thumbsup:

The best part of longform has been hearing the Intellistar internal playlist. :P But it is nice they are preempting tonight.

Sorry for double posting...
This is a weather.com forecasting question. For the Norman forecast tonight, I am noticing a contradiction. For the "forecast summary" under the Now conditions, I see this:
"Through 4am: A period of steady snow is likely between 1am and 2am. Mostly cloudy with temperatures steady in the mid 30s. Winds NNE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 70%. No significant snow accumulations through 4:00am."
But for the text forecast for tonight, I see this:
"Considerable cloudiness. Low 34F. Winds NNE at 10 to 20 mph."
So is it going to snow tonight, or not? Why doesn't the Tonight Forecast say "chance of snow" and use the snow showers icon, if that's what the forecast summary says? :dunno:
-
I've generally stopped using weather.com for forecasts. I'd look more at what NWS has to say for your area, which I see has a slight chance of rain and snow. Another possibility is that weather.com hasn't quite updated it's 36 hour forecast.

Yeah, this has been the case for awhile now, which disappoints me. There are no more metro forecast maps or hourly forecasts. What's even more confusing is that the forecast for Dallas is put in the western U.S. section, but then they show a regional forecast for the southeast on the video! :blink:

Cool clip! :biggrin: Really good use of the 3D chroma key wall (why isn't Mark Elliot being blown away? :P) and really good animation!
-
That doesn't look like a 3D chromakey wall.. he may have been out in a field and whoever edited that clip added a graphical touch like in this clip

I believe Zach is right, looks like he was at a baseball field (?) and someone just added the house and the tornado in. Notice how his feet are sunk into the grass.

I moved into the first house of my own about a month ago. During the five or so years I was at my apartment, I was without a local forecast and didn't get TWC HD. Now that I'm in a covered area, I have Cox Cable again. I was bored today (there never seems to be anything on when I want to watch TV) and tuned to TWC. Needless to say I was amazed. Aside from the logo, three OCMs, and parts of the Intellistar, there was NOTHING about the channel that I recognized! Then I tuned into TWC HD (I had to purchase a new TV when I moved). The clarity is nice, but WOW! Talk about sensory overload!! I swear, there wasn't a graphic on it that wasn't animated! It was so rediculous that I actually laughed out loud at some of it. For example, on the 5 day outlook, there's a neon snake (as best I can describe) that goes up and down where the temperatures are listed. What exactly is the point of that? :huh:

Fisher's in glasses today. :P

Never seen an OCM post about a playlist, except for Eric Fisher when he posted about the Home Alone Theme...

I agree, the I2HD is way too distracting.

Kelly Cass mentioned the Peanuts song yesterday!

Jeff Morrow and Ryan Goswick on day planner today, can't remember the last time I saw Ryan on a weekday :blink:

Christmas Eve 2010, I believe he was on
-
I may not be caught up to the times yet, but does "Weather Center Live" have 3 meteorologists on the show every night? I always see Kelly Cass posting on Facebook that she will be on with 2 other people. Is this a new format?
-
OK wow, don't know when this happened, but weather.com has changed its look...again. The changes are very minor, mainly only with the city search and menu bars at the top. So far, I don't like it. :no: The navigation is confusing.
This could be in a beta mode, so if you don't see a difference, it may just be TWC testing something. I've attached a screenshot below so you all can see what I'm talking about.
-
Odd, I'm still seeing the old design, but I agree I don't like it either. :no:
-
Andy, which page on the site was that on? From the looks of it, it looks like the site didnt fully load for you, or there's CSS coding errors on that particular page.
-
OK guys, here I go again with making posts before thinking twice. :wall: For some reason whenever I type weather.com into my browser, I am automatically re-directed to beta.weather.com. This new design was on the front page of beta.weather.com.
So I guess the design really was in beta. :P Sorry for the confusion. I have no idea if this will roll out eventually or not.

Usually, 4 or 5 OCMS appear (Chris, Crystal, Jim, Kelly or Kim and Paul or Adam). 2 or 3 OCMS do segments, and 2 OCMs do the weather radar and headlines. They have doing this since about September and October.
-
On NBC during the replay of the 10am hour of the Today Show they air the 7 Day Forecast done by one of the Weather Center Live OCMs at 2:50am ET.

I like the basic rectangles.. reminds me of BWTL era. :D
-
Paul Goodloe is doing Weather Center Live solo at 1AM ET. I think this is the first time an OCM appeared solo at this timeslot in a while I beleive.
-
There was no 7 Day Forecast on NBC at 2:50am ET.
Instead they ran a log promo for Coast Guard Alaska and a short promo for Wake Up With Al.
-
The production track used for the Day Planner opener I heard it being used on a commercial tonight for a furniture store called Matthew's.
-
The new weather.com site is no longer in beta.
EDIT: LOL, maybe it is, beta popped back up in the address bar in the second pic. :P
-
They changed the mobile site too.
-
I don't mind the changes, but I don't like how the city titles cut off on the forecast tiles at the top.
Also, how the heck do I edit the cities? All I see is an option to save or delete them, and when I delete them, they don't disappear :blink:

That ADDS a city, I asked how to EDIT a city. ;)

I didnt know you could even ever cities without adding or deleting them.. at least not on the older design that debuted last year :blink:

Agreed. I've never been a fan of the "hover to get more links" navigation style. What was wrong with the old look? Sheesh, now I wish I had stayed with my 2008 layout. It's really annoying when a site you frequent changes too often! :facepalm:

I have a bad feeling that TWC is going to update weather.com way too often now, to keep with user demands and such. They didn't update the site for the longest time, probably realize that was a huge mistake, and will now want to update it every year or less. :hmm:
-
It appears Day Planner has been extended to 7pm due to severe weather.
Carl and Todd were on 11am-3pm and Nick and Danielle should be on 3pm-7pm.
-
Weather Center Live has been extended until 11PM ET. Looks like no long-form tonight for east coast viewers.
-
Nick Walker already at 12 PM? O_o Todd must have been sick... he wasnt sounding like himself this past hour... :thinking:
-

Checked out the .com forecast for Tampa, and they must have read our complaints on the new format.. because the major metropolitan areas have the metro maps back :bleh:
-
It's interesting how there are two station IDs being used. One is the one with the pier, and the other shows a barn in a snowy field. I'm not sure if they've been used in the past.
-

They started doing multiple backgrounds again with the Fall IDs.

Yes they have, the third they use where the guy is running through a snowy park was used back in 2009. I think the others were too and used last year and in 2008.

It actually originates from 2008. :yes:
One of the ones that I miss seeing is the one with the bird flying around with the skyline in the background.

Pittsburgh had a metro forecast from the day they launched the new maps. They just don't use them in every forecast. I really don't like how the only feature now is the weekend forecast.

That's definetely nice (they've added the metro map back for Dallas as well). :biggrin: I still wish they would bring a daypart forecast back, though.

Mike Bettes will be on with Crystal Egger this AM for the WUWA/YWT Hours...
Mike Bettes
Hope you had a Merry Christmas! Here are the stories we're working on for Your Weather Today. Crystal Egger is up early to co-anchor the show this morning.

TWC picked up 2 more seasons of CGA "Coast Guard: Alaska"
http://articles.nydailynews.com/2011-12-14/news/30518138_1_weather-channel-daytime-show-edition (http://articles.nydailynews.com/2011-12-14/news/30518138_1_weather-channel-daytime-show-edition)
also in the article
"For instance, coming in March is a show focusing on lifeguards in California."
-
Looks like Julie Martin has a baby bump but she's trying to hide it during 2pm of DP.
-
According to her Facebook, she's due in March.
-
Yeah and someone already mentioned in the Julie Martin thread that she was almost 5 months along back in late October.
-
I REALLY like the new mobile weather.com site!
-
Have any of you watched 2011: Weather by the Billions? I'm curious to know how the background effects are being done when Jim is talking solo or conducting interviews. Is he standing in front of the 3-D chroma key the entire time? And what about the chairs for the interviews? Are those on top of the 3-D chroma key?
Also, it's kind of funny to see how short Jim is compared to the other meteorologists. Now I don't feel so bad about my height... :P
-
Yes, the chroma key wall is used, chairs and all.

Yes, I think Jim is 5'4". I'm 13.5 inches than him. :P
-
I saw this picture on an article on weather.com called "Meteorological images of 2011" It shows a picture of Jeff Morrow during the April 27, 2011 Super Outbreak, with a Tornado Watch scroll from the XL.
-
I saw the actual video with that XL crawl a few months ago, but I don't remember who the YouTube user was who published it. Speaking of that outbreak, man there is literally a library of videos from Huntsville, to Birmingham, to Tuscaloosa as all the tornadic chaos unfolded. It's definitely worth a look at for nostalgic and historic purposes.
-
I just saw Terri Smith on during DP. It's great to see her again, as I believe the last time she appeared on TWC was in 02? She appears to be doing the travel segments on DP.

No, the last time was December 2011 :P
-
Icon degradation?! :P :blink:
Happened on every page I went to with the "clear" icon (large size only).
-
LOL! Did you try clearing out your cache? It's possible you recently downloaded an incomplete file, and your computer keeps pulling that incomplete file out of the cache to display the image.

As the article says, I find it pretty unlikely that NBCU/Comcast would be willing to even negotiate a sale; they still might find it a valuable asset.

-

Not gonna happen. NBC had been wanting to acquire TWC years prior to its purchase, so I doubt they want to sell it out so soon.
-
Here's a great, clear example of TWC overhyping. Putting out a notice on severe wx when there is very little evidence showing up on models or the SPC for that matter on severe weather here. :wacko: With this feature being around about 6 months, I'm curious to know why no mets pulled the trigger before in the dozen of severe weather setups that were a heck of lot more ominous than this over the past 6 months. This is the very first time I have ever been under one of these alerts and I find that to be sad and ridiculous.
-
TWC was live 5pm-7pm Wednesday and today are live to 2am with storm coverage.
-
OK, is it just me, or do Chris Warren and Crystal Egger have NO personality whatsoever? I know we've talked about this before, but watching WCL tonight was incredibly painful. I'm not saying every OCM has to "love" the weather with all their heart, but I would like to see a little more passion. :hammer:

I can't agree more! It's horrible! :sos:

WCL are live again until 11PM ET because of the snowstorm.

Looks like with Q1 2012 programming, From the Edge is back, and WWCH is off (with exception of the Saturday/Sunday half-hour versions at 4 AM ET).

Oh, no wonder. I noticed that the show was gone, but I thought that was just me when I noticed this episode come on.

Am i not the only one who thinks Abrams and Bettes should be on WCL?
-
Am i not the only one who thinks Abrams and Bettes should be on WCL?
Me too! Then have Jen Carfagno co-host WUWA / YWT. Then, have Adam Berg co-host YWT with Crystal Egger as a third host / fill-in.
-
Am i not the only one who thinks Abrams and Bettes should be on WCL?
No, A&B are a high rated team, so they belong on a high rated time of day.
-
Am i not the only one who thinks Abrams and Bettes should be on WCL?
No, A&B are a high rated team, so they belong on a high rated time of day.
So is WCL no longer a high-rated time of day? :dunno: Maybe that explains why they have, in my opinion, two new and inexperienced OCMs. But I figured the two top shows on TWC were YWT and WCL.

Number wise that would probably be WUWA and YWT. WCL is probably third.

I've been noticing lately that on WUWA, they are no longer using orange title bars and they started using the dark blue title bars that other shows are using. I think these should use orange title bars on morning shows and use dark blue in evenings.

...which I think is a shame. :( OK, so news stories on TWC aren't really appropriate, and Al Roker isn't the greatest, but originality is what made the show good. I feel like WUWA is going the rounds of Weekend View...just like any other show.

I'm still a bigger fan of First Outlook taking over that hour (like it used to) from WUWA. I liked the format and professionalism a lot better. Plus, Nick and Kim made a great team.
-
TWC will be live all day covering the mid west soon to be north east snow storm.
The schedule says live to 2am ET.
-
weather.com must be seeing that no one looks at the online forecast videos for cities anymore, or couldn't care less. It's annoying, though. Now they have completely removed the current conditions information, so all that is shown is a regional map and a 5-day. No metro map and no current conditions. This is true for several cities I happened to look at: Atlanta, Dallas, Pittsburgh, New York, Norfolk, Tampa, etc.
What's weird is that the regional map for some of the smaller cities (such as Albany, NY, Columbia, SC, even Norfolk) has the really old graphics. :blink:
-
TWC live until 8PM ET today.
Kelly Cass is on Weekend Now and TWC did not give her enough rest. She did WCL last night.
-
I wish the IntelliSTAR had a clock with the seconds on it, as well as the date, on the LDL bar, just like the other STARS did and do. The III/3000, 4000, Jr. and XL all had or have those features but not the IntelliSTAR.
-
They have never implemented seconds onto a STAR's clock since the debut of the black LDL on the XL in September 2003. That is likely a feature TWC thought had no value to the viewer, and their reasonings were correct or else the seconds would have been implemented after a while.

Weird that there having Crystal Egger and Jim Cantore working on Weekends.
Also weird that Crystal Egger is working with Warren Madden.
-
I'm surprised they didn't send Jim out into the field...
-
Call me ignorant, but how big is this severe weather outbreak supposed to be? We've had a couple of severe outbreaks within the past month or two with the same conditions as are being forecasted here (damaging winds, hail, tornadoes), and no one has been sent out into the field from what I can remember. :thinking: So what makes this outbreak different from the rest?
-
First moderate risk we've had this year, and SPC has 15% of significant tornadoes. That hasn't been seen in a while.
-
7pm-11pm Kim Cunningham & Carl Parker. Jim Cantore & Dr. Forbes at the expert desk.
-
According to Carl Parker, TWC will be live all night long into the morning hours.
I noticed that on the Station ID, it still says "Copyright 2011" when it is 2012 now.

-
Wow, severe weather does sell.
-
This might be the longest in a while that TWC has been live for over 24 hours.
I believe they started at 4am Sunday and will be live through at least 5pm Monday.
Alex and Scott are coming on early at 3am ET.
-
During YWT a lower 3rd popped up saying something towards the degree of "Live Coverage All Day for Severe Weather."
-
Wow, I think they've covered this more than the Joplin and Tuscaloosa tornadoes! :lol: :P
-
Wow, I think they've covered this more than the Joplin and Tuscaloosa tornadoes! :lol: :P
I think after what did happen last year, TWC is going to go a little overboard with their coverage now so more people are away and the number of fatalities (hopefully) decrease. ;)
-
Two more days and Bright House is rumored to introduce the HD feed. However, I've found nothing about it on Bright House's webpage or anywhere else online, with the exception of reports saying "the first quarter of 2012." Well, it is already the first quarter of 2012. :)

I don't think they're going overboard with it at all. It's not like they're in red mode right now where that's the only focus today, they are still doing business as usual with the weekly planner, focus forecasts, etc. On top of that, some of the same areas hit hard back in April last year were once again hit this morning so they shouldn't be ignoring this. I would bet they would get some backlash if they acted like nothing had happened.
If it hadn't of been for this cold wedge were in over here, I would have been slammed hard by those same storms that produced the tornadoes in AL.
-
Why is TWC not pre-empting today? Is flooding and the possible severe weather for the south not important enough to be covered? Also, why is the "radiation storm" the top story on weather.com right now? How does that take predecence over the current weather?
One thing that really frustrates me about TWC is their inconsistency in coverage. How is this severe weather event less important than the one the other day? Is it just because it's not going to impact their headquarters in Atlanta or the high-populated northeast? Or maybe no tornadoes means less coverage? I'm sorry, but this really aggrivates me. <_< If anyone can answer my questions, feel free!

Your answer lies right there, there were a lot of tornado warnings flying hot off the printer constantly from the Sunday/Monday event, actual tornadoes were being reported to be on the ground in places like AR and AL and add to that there a PDS Tornado Watch out across parts of the Midsouth.

While not using the studio for most of Weather Center Live they instead using a virtual background set from the green screen for one segment.

I've long been afraid of this. One of our local affiliates after the switch to HD several years ago did a "virtual 3d" studio like what you see above and it looked disastrous. There were cheesy graphics scrolling around, random lights and it just looked dumb. The technology is not there to make an actual realistic virtual studio. I can somewhat understand a local station trying this since they are limited on studio space but with the giant studios TWC has it makes no sense. Give it 5 years and try again.
-
We are in day two of not using the HD Studio for Day Planner.
On Wednesday the studio was only used for Your Weather Today.
It was not used much during Weather Center Live except for the area with the small podium and palm trees background.
Anyone know what changes or upgrades they are doing in there?
I've noticed they have added a new line to the end of OCM's show intro,
"Live form The Weather Channel Headquarters in Atlanta, this is Day Planner.

This is nothing new with TWC but I don't get why they don't adjust the lighting when it's very dark.
Tonight is the second night the area of the HD studio they are using is very dark.
(http://t.imgbox.com/aave6Sl1.jpg) (http://imgbox.com/aave6Sl1)
Just seems odd the lighting is always different. Sometimes the lighting is good then other times it's very dark and they don't seem to adjust the lighting or camera.
Update, they used the HD studio for some of WCL and it's lit very dark tonight.
I hope they fix it for Friday.

The other thing I've noticed since the work on the HD studio started on Wednesday is,
on Weather Center Live they do almost no forecast segments from the green screen.
No 60 second or 7 Day Forecast.
I wonder if this is just a temporary change in format and when the HD studio is back to normal use they will return.
-
Looks like the Dark Blue Titlebar that debuted in May 2011 is discontinued and replaced by white tilebars that debuted a short while ago. The blue titlebars were only used for Radar until earlier this week. I think, in my opinion, the newer white tilebars are better than the old ones.

Weather Center Live went back to the regular format at 1am ET.

The thing that hurts this image's composition (that being the Travel Troubles image of Crystal) is the large, bright "mass"-aka the light element of the studio-encroaching on the shadow. It throws balance, contrast, and composition way out of balance. And it doesn't help that the lighting on her isn't great

Checking Weekend View the studio lighting is a little brighter but still darker that usual.
(http://t.imgbox.com/aahu87xN.jpg) (http://imgbox.com/aahu87xN)
What's looking real bad is when they show the OCMs from the video wall they are very dark even if the lighting is normal.
Jeff was had almost no lighting on his face from the DMC all morning.
I would think some type of lighting person would be able to fix that.

I got a response back from TWC saying they would pass along my comments about the dark studio lighting.
TWC has updated the schedule and will be live to at least 2am ET.
http://www.weather.com/tv/schedule/ (http://www.weather.com/tv/schedule/)
Noticed on Friday they had good quality live streaming video from one of the TWC photographers who was driving on a snowy Denver highway.
Not sure what they were using to transmit the feed but did not go out when they were going through underpasses.

Has this been happening frequently? I'm seeing Paul Goodloe, Chris Warren, Crystal Egger, Adam Berg, and Kim Cunningham ALL IN ONE SHOW. This is the first time I'm seeing 5 OCMs in one show with no experts.

Yes, it's been happening for a few months. One OCM does the Social segment, One OCM does Digital Media Center segment, one OCM does weather news and 2 OCMs do the Radar and forecasts.

Amber Alerts show up as an alert from the NWS as well. I guess TWC just added it into their algorithms. Dumb idea if you ask me. I know its meant for good and everything but when you begin to dilute weather alerts with stuff like this it reduces the importance of actual weather alerts.
-
This...is new. :blink:
([url]http://i42.tinypic.com/dr3t76.png[/url])
Those are actually put out by the NWS, so maybe that's why.. though this one doesnt include DFW... :thinking:

EDIT: Dang it Martin, why did you have to beat me? :doh: :P
-
Should have been 8 seconds faster :P
-
Actually, I think it's an excellent idea that the NWS is participating in the issuance of Amber alerts. The more outlets that can be reached, the better the chances of the abduction ending sooner and with a positive outcome.
How people react to them is one thing, but think about it... if your child were missing, wouldn't you want every media outlet in the whole area to be reporting about it?
-
I kind of suspected amber alerts were issued by the NWS, because I can remember hearing them on my NOAA weather radio at home.
However, I've never seen the notice on weather.com before.
-
Guys, anything that the NWS issues should show up on TWC and all other media outlets. I've even issued a couple amber alerts during the past year! To give you all an idea how much more it is than just typical weather warnings, here's the full list of all the statements, advisories, watches, and warnings issued by the NWS that appear on their main weather map and could show up on weather.com:

That's a great list! Thanks!

I've seen that list before. The ones I found strange/funny were "Shelter in Place Warning", "Nuclear Power Plant Warning" and "Law Enforcement Warning", I mean, just imagine seeing those on your Intellistar and being narrated!

WCL started early at 6:30pm ET to cover the snow storm in the north east.
Seems like they might be live all evening.
They have been using this format since around November, 2011.
On November 9th I noticed they had 6 people on WCL.
"« Reply #7564 on: November 09, 2011, 07:35:59 PM »
I think TWC has hit a record for the most OCMs on Weather Center Live.
Tonight at 7pm the have Crystal, Chris, Jim, Kim, Kelly and Paul."

6 people? That's a little much for a show that only airs at three one hour intervals. :wacko:

Didn't Evening Edition used to be like that initially with like 4 or 5 people?

The storms in the south better receive precedence during this coverage. The mid-Atlantic snowstorm, IMO, should NOT be receiving any extra coverage (unless this snow storm is going to bring snow in excess of 1 foot to many cities).
Just goes to show how TWC focuses more on the Northeast than any other region. <_<
-
The schedule for tonight is.
Kelly Cass & Kim Cunningham from 7-11pm
Kelly Cass & Adam 11pm-12am.
I believe Adam is solo 12am-2am.

I'm afraid that show is gonna go on as scheduled just as I had suspected. The only reason they would have preempted was for severe weather and so far there is none. If anything fires up within the next hour, it may be a different story.

Severe Weather Studio, and GFC being used for WCL at 7pm-2am.

I was surprised TWC went to regular programming at 8pm and was not covering the severe storms again till 10pm ET.
They did stay live at 11pm with Paul and Adam and will be live to 3am ET.
Chris and Kim were on 7pm and 10pm ET not sure why they left at 11pm.
Scott Williams and Danielle Banks came on at 3am ET for an early edition of First Outlook.
Since 11am Tuesday they have not used the studio.
For 3am Danielle was in HD studio area with the Telestrator at the podium for the start but most of the show is using the Digital Media Center and the old green screen.

Does Janel Klein work for TWC in the same way that Tetiana (sp.) Anderson, Jorma Duran and Julie Martin did as just reporters? I notice she reports from a lot of various places, including in Duluth, MN right now on the blizzard, but I thought she might have been a meteorologist.
EDIT: On a side note, this is something I thought was weird. During the first hour of YWT, Mike Bettes was on w/ Tom talking about the blizzard, about an hour later when I turned it back on TWC to hear more about the tornadoes, he wasn't there, in fact Jen suddenly appeared along with Stephanie at the main desk and I was wondering what happened until I heard Stephanie say Jen was filling in while Mike was dealing with the severe weather. So, I'm assuming he left to cover the tornado damage in IL or KS, she didn't specify where he was going exactly. I don't get why they just didn't send him out there in the first place if that's where he's going. That was pretty dumb on their part.
-
Janel Klein works for KARE an NBC affilate in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Area so that's why she was reporting for The Weather Channel.
They did mention on air that Mike was traveling to report on the storms.
Mike Bettes @TWCMikeBettes
Leaving early to cover Midwest #tornado damage. Live reports begin later today.

TWC will be live all day,

Anyway, TWC is doing a good job covering this storm.

Sometimes on the 10am ET show the Al Rocker segments are from 6am and they do live segments with Stephanie Abrams. Today it was all live.

What's scarier is it's programmed on my TV guide from 5-8am meaning if that's true they're gonna take an hour away from YWT, seriously, WTH?! What's the point of doing this? :huh:
-
That was an error in whoever provided the data to you guide. YWT was on at 7am ET.
TWC must be repairing or replacing the video wall because on YWT they were in the studio but did not use that area with the OCMs sitting on the opposite side of the desk.
-
I've noticed that when they do show the OCM in front of the duplex tv screens, which is to the left of the video wall, that area is blacked out and cannot be seen. I would say it's likely the video wall is going away.

TWC turns those off to conserve power. It's in the design of the HD Studio on their website. I'm not saying what you said is wrong, but It could just for saving energy. I hope they're not getting rid of the Video wall unless they plan to add something there that's better. :thinking:

Looks like you're right about that, there was no LF at 1:18, the bug on the lower left changed to Extended Live Coverage and the IS/HD LDL is off.

Yep, looks like they are doing it live.
Scary stuff - stay safe out there.

In the late afternoon they were doing commercial free coverage. The LDL would go away as if they were going to break then come back on screen.
The LDL has been switched to storm coverage colors.

For 11am-5pm they are using the DMC today.
-
I know we've been briefly talking about this, but are they replacing the video wall, or perhaps just upgrading it (since it always seemed so washed-out or dark)? :dunno: If they are indeed replacing it, it seems like that was a complete waste of money, since they only used it for about 2 1/2 years or so.
-
Didn't they just fix/replace it b/c it was dull a few months ago? If they have to fix it this many times a year they just should get rid of it. That's got to be costly if they replace it every time.
-
I can't imagine the video wall would last terribly long each time, since it has to be turned up very brightly in order to be seen on camera underneath all the bright studio lights. Even then, at its best, it will never appear as sharp or as bright as a map on chroma key.
It was a nice idea they had about the video wall, but putting it into practice has shown that maybe it's not the best way to do things after all. They realized that the maps just looked too murky on the wall, so they started using chroma key again. They realized that the wall has to be maintained far too often (and usually at great cost) in order to keep using it.
I think it's time to just abandon it altogether. Unless NBC is giving money for them to burn... with the provision that they don't spend it on payroll (referring to the many recent layoffs of longtime staff).
-
I always felt like that video wall was just eye candy for them. You know just to have something to brag about with it being so massive in size. I obviously don't know what brand/manufacturer it's from but maybe they got a bad HDTV brand if they have to keep repairing it, not all of them are that great as far as their maximum life expectancy.

I think it's time to just abandon it altogether. Unless NBC is giving money for them to burn... with the provision that they don't spend it on payroll (referring to the many recent layoffs of longtime staff).
I believe its a projection system. Not really that much to it. They aren't replacing the entire setup when they fix it.
I think the main problem here is that the setup needs to be overhauled. If you look at CNNs studios, they have several lage video walls that are all sharp and bright. Probably a cost saving move on TWCs part back when they were building the studio. The new studios were a big move also to make it more appealing to buyers

I can't imagine the video wall would last terribly long each time, since it has to be turned up very brightly in order to be seen on camera underneath all the bright studio lights. Even then, at its best, it will never appear as sharp or as bright as a map on chroma key.
It was a nice idea they had about the video wall, but putting it into practice has shown that maybe it's not the best way to do things after all.

They may have to replace bulbs in the projector then re calibrate the color and positioning. That could take a long time when you're talking about 3 projectors working together and fine tuning it.

Landmark was on its last legs when TWC upgraded so I won't be surprised if that was the case. As well, green products were the key back then, which is something that isn't much of a concern to companies these days due to the economy.
-
Speaking of which, during the transition period in mid-2008 between the chroma key and the video wall, I knew I would miss seeing them use the chroma key and have a nostalgic attachment to it. After the transition period, I was right.

Well I wouldn't say they were on their last legs but they pretty much knew they wanted to sell TWC at that point. Landmark is very much a thriving company though. It still remains puzzling why they pushed to sell TWC. Perhaps they saw the market slowing for cable networks.

Does NBC save money by hiring only amateurs and interns to do the job? Or are "qualified" technicians just that incompetent? Or is the studio inadequate and the producers just don't care?

Yes, yes, and....wait for it....well yes. :P I don't know what the problem is but the monitor that displayed the PM Edition titlecard sure looked like it had a nasty case of the stomach flu with that godawful puke green. :sick:

They just showed the Travel Forecast screen with the old music.

It has been 2 years now since TWC had changes in its graphics including the launch of a new icon set, the new national LDL, new IS LDL, and the discontinuation of the XL's LDL.

Again I don't know why but the entire HD studio has been under lit since around the time they started to take down the video wall.
Dr. Forbes is in for PM Edition tracking the severe storms in the south.

Six people for WCL tonight.
Chris and Crystal main OCM's. Jim at the expert desk.
Kelly, Kim and Paul reporting.

Kim Cunningham about TWC Social, earlier tonight: "The Weather Channel now has a one-of-a-kind partnership with Twitter, it's called The Weather Channel Social..."
Yeah... we know that already for the thousandth time :rolleyes:

It could be a possibility that Twitter is paying TWC to say that, thus its advertising. ;)

If that is the case, I will gladly pay Twitter to tell them to stop saying that. :P

As of tonight in the 8pm hour, the Weather Now updates at 10 and 40 after the hour are gone.
Instead they are using the LDL Squeeze back and doing the Weather Now update then at 38 minuets after.
In the 9pm hour they did it at 18 minuets.
I need to check if they are doing it any other times in the hour.
It's bad enough they only do two full local forecasts an hour during taped programming and now they are using the LDL Squeeze back instead.

The Squeezeback is better used for long-form like this. They shouldn't just show the LDL like they did before since there is no radar info. But they should just show LFs at 8s.
-

True but they were the regular local forecasts not the LDL Squeeze back they are using tonight.
They went to taped programming at 8pm but have decided to go live at 9:30pm to cover the storms in the south.
Chris said Ice Pilots will be on at 12:30am ET so they are not planning to be live then.

If he's talking about that "Touch" show promo, I don't think so because I saw it too. I occasionally see TWC air promos outside of networks not under NBC's reign so I guess it's not too surprising.

No it's the sponsor for lot8s today at :58.. it also has a sponsor logo during the :58 LFs too and it couldn't have been a headend ad because I saw it at :57 and headend ads occur at :17/:47 past

WCL at 7pm and 10pm did not use the studio and there were not many actual forecast segments.
At 1am they are using the studio and it's been more forecasts segments.
Kelly, Kim and Paul were on at 7pm and 10pm. It's just Crystal and Chris for 1am.
Two changes I noticed at 1am is during the 7 Day Forecast there was a song playing in the background that totally distracting and not needed.
Second the LDL squeezeback was not used.

I was expecting TWC to use the studio at 4pm since it seems the work is done on the new video wall.
Instead they are using the expert desk and control room.
I hope this is not a permanent change because it would be stupid to update the video wall in the studio and then not use the studio for Weather Center Live.
This new Weather Center Live format for 4pm. 7pm and 10pm of limited forecasts segments, not using the green screen and doing just about everything from the expert desk is not good.
Please go back to the studio, give us more forecasts and less taped reports.
If you compare the 1am edition to the others the amount of actual weather forecast segments is more then double.

They Just used the Video wall in the last 1 min. Wow. Also the new wall one of the "tiles" went out while they were doing it. :rofl2:

I'm not liking these new weather.com icons. :cry: I don't think I have bad eyes, but for some reason they seem so hard to see and very hard to distinguish. Also, the moon is way too dark. As with any set, I'm sure I'll grow used to them, but why did they have to change them in the first place???

Oh man, no more PME? :cry: Unfortunately, I feel like this show just kind of phased out. Obviously it has been gone on weekdays for quite some time, and I guess this new schedule sees it gone on the weekends too.

4pm on weekends may have been changed to the Weather Center name but at least it's not using the weekday Weather Center 4pm format of almost no forecast segments, mostly expert desk segments and taped reports.

Also, is it just me or does it feel like Weather Center is beginning to take over a lot of the live programming slots? I know they wouldn't make it the only show (or at least probably not the only show), but it seems like they're making too much room for long form. :thumbdown:

So Carl wore glasses today.. :P

Weather Center Live is not using the studio again this week for 4pm, 7pm and 10pm.
Again like last week there are almost no forecast segments.
No Weekend, 7 Day, or 60: Second Forecast.
The green screen is not being used.
I just don't like this new format for WCL.
The only WCL with actual forecast segments and use of the green screen is the 1am edition.

Pre-emption is happening right row as TWC covers the severe storms and reports of tornadoes in Dallas/north Texas.
EDIT 1: Looks like it's Chris, Crystal, and Dr. Greg Forbes giving the coverage. Mark Elliot was on earlier showing iWitness videos.
Not sure how long the extensive coverage is going on, but no LOT8s shown at 2:58 CT.
EDIT 2: As we are in WCL regular programming: short commercial break :06 - :08 and squeezeback used for :08 LOT8s. Full LOT8s at :18, and at :28.
EDIT 3: Carl Parker and Alex Wallace on at 4 PM CT hour of extended live coverage.

Do they ever change the local forecast playlist during storm coverage?
Some of the rock songs just seem like they should not be playing during storm coverage.
At 10:54pm ET TWC has skipped their first commercial break during the tornado coverage.

Kelly and Adam started at 11:45PM ET.

The brick wall studio to the right of the Digital Media Center is now being referred to as Studio 1C on air.
The 7pm ET edition of Weather Center Live is actually using the studio and green screen for forecasts.
It's much better then having the OCMs standing by the control room and in the global forecast center.

Gosh, why oh why does TWC have to have that ugly-looking green logo for Green is Universal week? It's such an eyesore. A forest green, or sea green, or something would have been nice, but this bright, lime green is just . . . :sick:

Yes! Come on, I can't be the only one who thinks it's an eyesore. :P
On another note, who's watching the premiere of Turbine Cowboys tonight? Seriously, you know you want to! :bleh:

From a TWC press release,
The "Braving the Elements" anthology will feature multiple miniseries, each comprised of four 30-minute episodes, including: "Lights Out," following crews who are the first ones on the scene to restore power during inclement - and often severe - weather; "Turbine Cowboys," featuring the men and women who are pushed to the limit both physically and emotionally as they brave extreme heights and every conceivable weather condition to work on wind turbines; and "Iron Men" (working title), profiling the iron workers who spend their days hundreds of feet above New York City. Additional titles in the anthology will be added throughout the year.
The "Braving the Elements" anthology might be the most boring barely weather related shows on The Weather Channel.
Wow a show about people restoring power, skip.
Wow a show about people fixing wind Turbines, skip.
Wow a show about iron workers building in NYC, skip.
From the short preview of "Iron Men" it's like that show on TruTV about the guys who work on oil rigs that fight and curse all day.
While I have respect for the people who do those jobs I have no interest in reality shows about them.

Same here sorry NBC/Comcast but with the exception of true weather stories i'm not interested in what you're selling.

According to Kelly Cass' Facebook:
"And here's Sunday's outlook. We have already made the call to pre-empt with live programming due to severe threat, and chance for heavy wet snow in parts of the northeast!"
Looks like TWC will be all live on Sunday.

I remember Eric Fisher said on FB that he did some interviews for it.

No matter, they'll still focus on advertising and showing crap like Ice pilots and turbine cowboys...

Noticed the IntelliStar LDL logo error happened yet again at 1 AM ET this morning :P
Also, Crystal and Todd on WN today?! :blink:
-
7am-11am Maria LaRosa & Eric Fisher.
11am-2pm & 4pm Crystal Egger & Todd Santos
I guess they decided to no provide all day coverage as taped programming is on at 3pm.
My guess is they will be live wither 4pm or 7pm through the overnight.
Jim Cantore and Eric Fisher will be reporting from the north east starting at 5am ET on Monday on WUWA.
7pm-11pm Kelly Cass & Paul Goodloe.
Adam Berg in the Digial Media Center.
Tom Niziol & Carl Parker at the Expert Desk.
TWC ends extended coverage at 11pm ET.

Am I the only one who thinks the 10-11am program hour really shouldn't be branded as Wake Up With Al? Jen and Mike opened the show with Jim Cantore and Eric Fisher doing live reports. I just think it would be better branded as YWT, DP, or another show.

The whole point of that hour if I'm not mistaken is for West Coast viewers, it would make more sense to just have it shown at 10am only if they're that worried about getting west coast viewers. :rolleyes:
-
I don't know if this is a name TWC started calling it, but the snow "event" the NE is experiencing is known as "Snowpril." How original. :rolleyes:

Day Planner 11am-3pm Vivian Brown and Carl Parker.
Weather Center Live 3pm Todd Santos and Alex Wallice.
If they are going to be live all day then I would expect Todd and Alex to be on to 7pm and Crystal and Chris on 7pm-11pm.

The aim is definitely West Coast viewers (myself and anyone west of me). However, why is it branded WUWA when Al wasn't even on once during the hour? It just doesn't make sense to me.

I really find no point in even having the show if there's little live weather and especially if Al isn't even on. Might as well brand it as WUWS since Steph is really the only person who does the weather. Al just laughs and jokes and gets to spend time with celebrities and the rest of his NBC pals...
-
They should just do Steph and Mike at 7-9am and Maria and Jen from 9-11am.

Day Planner 11am-3pm Vivian Brown and Carl Parker.
Weather Center Live 3pm Todd Santos and Alex Wallice.
If they are going to be live all day then I would expect Todd and Alex to be on to 7pm and Crystal and Chris on 7pm-11pm.
They went to Long-Form at 8PM ET. Also, Chris Warren is on vacation for a few weeks according to his Facebook so Paul Goodloe and Crystal Egger did WCL.
-
Jim Cantore is reporting from Alabama, Dr. Forbes and Carl Parker must be off because Todd Santos is doing the severe weather forecasts for the 4pm ET WCL.

Ryan Goswick solo at WCL 1AM ET. :o

According to TWC's Facebook, the Emp State Building in NYC will be lit in all blue on May 2, in honor of the network's 30th anniversary.
I wonder what else is going to happen? :thinking: I hope it's not a marathon of long-form programming.

I would hope they would at least show some of the older footage from TWC like they did during the 25th anniversary. It would be far better than any long-form marathon. Of course, everything here ought to be weather pending in case an outbreak occurs.

Does TWC have celebrate every 5-year anniversary with a bang? :rolleyes: I mean, 25 years is considered special because it is the "silver" anniversary. IMO, they shouldn't have another big celebration until 50 years.

If the viewership and the ratings go down the toilet, maybe the network will cease to exist 25 years from now. Then there wouldn't be a 50th anniversary :P

I don't see anything wrong with celebrating every 10 years such as in this case the 30th, then 40th, then 50th, etc.

They celebrated there 20th Anniversary in 2002 with a TV Special and a book.
They celebrated there 25th Anniversary in 2007 with another TV Special and some promos featuring old bloopers/
I don't know yet if TWC will have a special but they might run promos of the past.

Or they could just show us a sneak preview of Iron Men... :P

I loved how that campaign was done, too. I'm not expecting this 30-year anniversary to top that one, and it probably shouldn't as a 25-year anniversary seems to mean more.

New Show coming to the weather channel called "Iron Men" :thumbdown: More longform.

It's part of a mini series of shows.
From a TWC press release,
"The "Braving the Elements" anthology will feature multiple miniseries, each comprised of four 30-minute episodes, including: "Lights Out," following crews who are the first ones on the scene to restore power during inclement - and often severe - weather; "Turbine Cowboys," featuring the men and women who are pushed to the limit both physically and emotionally as they brave extreme heights and every conceivable weather condition to work on wind turbines; and "Iron Men" (working title), profiling the iron workers who spend their days hundreds of feet above New York City.

The Weather Channel Celebrates its 30th Birthday on All Screens
Leading Weather Provider and Digital Giant Marks Day with Special Programming On-air and an All-new Look for weather.com
ATLANTA (April 26, 2012) – The Weather Channel® companies (TWCC) turns 30 next week, having aired its first broadcast 30 years ago on May 2, 1982. To celebrate, the weather leader will air special programming across platforms – television, online and mobile – including a look back at the first 30 years of The Weather Channel, how technology and weather forecasting has changed, coverage of the most significant severe weather events, and bloopers through the decades.
While The Weather Channel recognizes its first 30 years, the company will also celebrate its future with a complete relaunch of its suite of local pages on weather.com starting May 2. The all-new site will offer a more personalized weather experience to help consumers better forecast and plan their lives, with a simpler design and interface, more localized news content, increased social integration, enhanced maps, and more. With the relaunch, 95 percent of weather.com’s 1 billion monthly page views will have a new look.
On May 2, special 30th anniversary content on The Weather Channel and weather.com online and on mobile includes:
· A look back at the first 30 years – changes, significant weather events, brand evolution, and more as well as a look at the significance and historic nature of The Weather Channel
· Decades of style – Check out weather.com for a review of fashion. Think big hair, shoulder pads, and Jim Cantore with hair
· Interviews – perspectives from the original meteorologists from the first 1982 broadcast, Andre Bernier and Bruce Edwards, CEO David Kenny and other experts
· In their own words – some most memorable moments and reflections from current on-camera meteorologists and TWCC employees
· Well wishes – Celebrity birthday wishes and congratulations
· Bloopers – On-air goofs, mistakes, and funny moments
· The next chapter – a look ahead at what we expect for the future of forecasting, television and The Weather Channel
· Social media integration – birthday wishes and photos via Twitter and Facebook. On GetGlue, anyone who checks in to The Weather Channel on May 2 will receive a limited edition sticker celebrating 30 years of The Weather Channel.
From its first broadcast in 1982, many said The Weather Channel would not last. TWC almost shut down within its first few years, but has grown to be one of the most trusted, well known media brands and an industry and technology leader with scale that is second to none. TWCC reaches 168 million unduplicated consumers each month, is the most-distributed cable network, and offers the No. 2 most popular app across all smartphones and tablets. It is a top brand with international direction, while still being a relevant local storyteller to an engaged audience. Through its transformation, an adaptable team of risk takers and experts has succeeded in making The Weather Channel an expected and desired name on any device.
The Weather Channel brand has evolved into a very different company than what began in 1982. The future is bright, with a focus on digital and mobile dominance, international growth, and a new era in original content.
On May 2, help celebrate its first 30 years by tuning in to The Weather Channel and visiting the new weather.com.

Excuse me for this, but why the :censored: is TWC not pre-empting right now? There are numerous tornado warnings out. I don't care if 8 PM gives me a different story. I want that live coverage NOW! :furious:

I've learned for quite some time it's better not to understand their logic and reasoning for a lot of things they choose to do and not do. Just shake you fist at the TV, lower your head, shaking it in shame and disgust, turn off the TV and quickly find some local streams covering the severe weather in that area. :yes:
I'm still amazed that after 30 years, noone has the hailstones to challenge TWC (WeatherNation doesn't count, they're staying more exclusive to the internet as far as I know) If no one wants to do it, that leaves me no choice, I'll have to do it. How does "The Weather Zone" sound? :P

Weathernation tried to challenge TWC as The Weather Cast on Dish, but failed. From the first moment I saw it The experence wasn't there. Great Weather Channel, But not great enough to replace TWC.

Yes guys, as Zach has pointed out and told me, this is the exact two-year anniversary of the horrid FaaF incident, when TWC refused to report about tornadoes in Arkansas that did, unfortunately, cause deaths. Jim, thankfully, gave his two cents about the situation, but this obviously did not help tonight. It's very ironic that this incident occured on the same date.
And, we can't use a "general public" excuse here, because TWC is receiving some angry posts on their Facebook page.

I almost forgot that incident and yet here we are again still not learning anything from the past. :doh: Sometimes I wonder why Jim bothers anymore. It's pretty bad when one of your leading guys calls you out on your BS. I'm sure there are plenty of other local news network that will move heaven and earth to have him work for them. Let's see how they like them apples. :yes:
Don't worry, I know they wouldn't care if Jim just walked out on them for good tonight. I just like to believe they would be desperate to want to keep that from happening. :P

If Jim were to walk out because of this.......I bet it would make headlines and turn heads. Jim has alot of fans. The other OCM's may put their 2 cents in as well.
It's time for TWC to lose NBC, AL, Ice Pilots, All the other long form and dont even start Iron Men!!! TWC Is turning 30 on wednesday and they are better than this!! I hope someone high profile was in strike zone tonight, (Safe Of Cource) goes public and ask Where was TWC??????????

TWC is very inconsistent in their severe weather coverage. They have not prempted on severe weather or tornadoes other times too. See my post from the Kentucky tornadoes from last June.

Well guys, I am just going to end with this before we try to put tonight's horrible situation to rest:
April 30th must be an infamous day in the life of TWC. To my knowledge, there were tornado watches, there were 15 (maybe more at this point) tornado warnings, there were even tornadoes on the ground, and TWC did not bother to give any special coverage. Maybe it was because the tornadoes were only in rural areas? IMO, that shouldn't stop them from providing coverage. Heck, TWC should really provide good coverage for severe t-storms (why limit it only to tornadoes?), but that's beisde the point. But, alright, maybe they couldn't pre-empt because they didn't have enough OCMs available, or the right equipment, or whatever. I don't know. What really surprises me is that weather.com, their #1 go-to source for information, was also severely lacking. No red banner. The tornadoes weren't even the top story. I don't CARE about April's best weather images, when other important weather is currently in progress. At least there were no stories on the Top 5 about a "Nice Northeast" or "Cool Northeast," or I would really have been irate. (No offense to anyone living in that reigion).
Is TWC "mad" at Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas? I don't think so, because they did a good job covering the DFW tornadoes, the Norman tornado, and the outbreak a couple of weeks ago. Those were in heavily-populated areas. TWC is definitely biased in their coverage, I guess, but it's never consistent!
And I am very tired of hearing the over-used statements: "If you don't like it, then turn it off" and "I'm sure the general public didn't care." Both of the statements don't apply here. Trust me, I turned TWC off the minute I saw they weren't providing any coverage, or any worthwhile coverage. And the general public does care, because TWC's Facebook page had some comments from viewers complaining about the lack of weather coverage. Granted, it wasn't swarming with posts every two seconds, but it still had quite a few.
Alright, I'm done with my rant. If you read all the way through it, thank you. Let's move on...
-
The Episode of "Ice Pilots" they did not bother to pre-empt was from 2008.
So TWC is airing an old series as new programming.
Ryan Goswick is on at 1am subbing in for Paul and Kim who were subbing for Crystal and Chris.

The Episode of "Ice Pilots" they did not bother to pre-empt was from 2008.
That series wasn't out until 2009 though... :unsure:

Maybe it began production in 2008 and just didn't start airing until the following year. Plenty of live action shows tape a year or two in advance.
-
The episode had a © date of 2008 and checking wiki the show started broadcasting in Canada November 18, 2009.
Season 1 of Ice Pilots began airing on the National Geographic Channel in the US on April 22, 2011.
This show is from a Canadian production company and TWC simply bought the rights to broadcast it in the USA after the contract was up for renewal.
So for TWC to call this a new show or the episodes airing from season one new is incorrect.
If seasons 2-3 have not aired in the USA then they are new when they are broadcast.

So National Geographic Channel no longer airs the show because of TWC? If so, that is pathetic because the show belongs on National Geographic Channel not The WEATHER Channel.

No, Nat Geo decided to give up airing the show and TWC took over

Heading into hour #4 now - continuing coverage on TWC of severe weather (possible tornadoes) in MN, IL, IN, OH, KY & NC! Be safe everyone...it's gonna be a long night!"
They are done with storm coverage at 8pm and not back till 10pm ET. This is getting embarrassing.
If there are tornadoes on the ground they should provide live coverage.

They can't, they have multiple overdue electric bills to pay. Why do you think the lighting is not always that great in the studio sometimes? They count on these shows to get them by.

Yeah, perhaps you are right. They are also sending a message to no longer rely on them for severe weather coverage exclusively, but rather look at local TV, radio, Internet, mobile phones, etc. They will only preempt when they feel like it. The Weather Channel is no longer a channel that covers weather; it just happens to be an entertainment channel that is "weather-related."

Regular taped programming was on at the start of the 5pm ET hour.

I would have guessed they did local inserts for Intellistar units in the affected areas, but I'm under the impression that they don't do this anymore... even though the technology for such a thing exists.

For the 30-year celebration, Blake Shelton said in a little clip that everyone hates the elevator music on the local forecasts. It looks like TWC took him seriously. :P
Is there even a topic for the 30 year celebration? I could not find one.

WCL started a little earlier then 10pm as Mike Bettes is near a big storm and was commercial free to 10:15pm.

Here is what I think is interesting: TWC is celebrating 30 years of being on the air and TWC Classics is celebrating 15 years of being a web site - which means that TWC Classics started around the time that TWC was celebrating it's 15th anniversary. Has anyone ever thought of that?

Yeah, good question.. I haven't seen it in awhile. Perhaps they realized people don't care about what others are saying about the weather? hmm.. :lol:

I'm pretty sure I remember it being showed this past weekend.

I hope so. It wasn't social at all. In the past they featured tweets directly sent to TWC or in response to an OCM. These were just random tweets that had weather words in them from around the country. Boring.
-
The TWC Social segments where they show the top 5 trending topics are done during WCL at 7pm, 10pm and 1am.
Other shows have a digital media center segment where they read twitter comments.
-
TWC Social really holds no interest for me. I want to see more in-depth weather reports and information, not some random dum-dum's weather complaints. How the polar vortex works, the climatology of snowfall, hurricane belts, et cetera, would be far more interesting. It may even improve TWC's profits. After all, if they ran programming like that plus real local forecasts, what other weather source, online or otherwise, would be more attractive?
-
Todd Santos on WCL at 1am ET.
So whenever one or both of the regular 1am OCMs are off only one OCM does the 1am WCL.
-
TWC pre-empted taped programming at 9pm ET to cover the severe Texas storms.

Still going live on Weather Center Live til 11pmET. Tornado watch, including Houston til 2amCDT. Be safe! Dr. Greg Forbes came in on his day off to help us track the storms.

The preview is only 4 minutes long, so its gonna be embedded into the current longform show :itsok:

It's being shown at 9:45pm ET.
All they are doing is running a long movie trailer during a commercial break.

Since I do not see a topic for the TWC mobile app, I'll just post this here...
Today, version 5.0.0 of the TWC mobile app was released, and it is a COMPLETE overhaul of what is was previously. Some of the most notable changes include a photo background for the current conditions instead of an icon (like on weather.com...this seems to be a popular thing now), a camera button on the "Now" page to automatically take you to your camera to take a weather picture, the new weather.com icons, different map navigation, and of course, an easier way to share the weather on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Overall, I think it's pretty nice. :thumbsup:

Nice... and free. Sucks if you shelled out the $5 a couple years ago and always get the new version months after the free one comes out. :club:

I really like the new update, especially the background! But if they upgrade the Max app, i'm buying it. I can't stand the ads.

Intriguing.... the Android (at least for 4.0+) app is still on 3.6.3... I don't know, however, if they utilize a different versioning platform though.

I don't like how TWC pushes new updates to the free app (even though it has many many more users) rather than those who shelled out money for it. At least update both at the same time!

No, he's still there, I guess he's just a freelancer. I wonder if he has another part-time job or something, or works behind the scenes? Because (I know what freelance meteorologist means), if the only time he works is when we see him on-air and that's the only time he gets paid, that's not very much. :ermm:

Yes, Warren's other job is hurricane hunter with the Air Force Reserve.
Warren Madden earned a degree in computer science from MIT while on an Air Force ROTC scholarship. He convinced the Air Force to send him to Penn State to earn a bachelor's degree in meteorology, after which he worked in Dayton, Ohio, as an Air Force meteorologist. Later he took a position as weekend meteorologist at WHIO-TV in Dayton and earned a master's degree in computer science from Wright State University. He joined the national media in 1996 as a meteorologist for the Weather Channel. In 1998, he joined the Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters as a weather officer and is an instructor with the squadron, recently working with Lockheed Martin to write the software used on board the WC-130 aircraft. The Hurricane Hunters have been deliberately flying into the worst of bad weather since 1944; learn more at www.hurricanehunters.com (http://www.hurricanehunters.com).

With Scott Williams gone and Alex Wallace off today Todd Santos did First Outlook solo.
This seems to be the trend with the 1am ET WCL to.
If one of the regular OCMs is off or filling in on the earlier WCL shows then it's just one OCM at 1am ET.

At 11pm ET TWC is doing Extended Live Coverage of severe weather.
Tornadoes and subtropical storm Beryl.
-
I imagine we'll hear everything about Beryl for the next several days, but I hope it doesn't go overboard as Beryl is not expected to become more than a tropical storm.
-
Extended coverage done at 12am.

This reminds me in 2006 how they went crazy over Beryl, and what was funny was that it formed around the same area as this year's Beryl.

Maybe they'll go into "Storm Alert" for Beryl like they did with Alberto/Ernesto in 2006. After all, they are using the same name rotation this year. :P
I think TWC definitely "goes overboard" when a system is near the U.S. and makes landfall, even if it is a weak system. This obviously makes sense, but I won't be surprised if we hear more about Beryl than other storms from last year, just because it looks like it will impact the U.S. this time (finally).
-
True but also an area where the rain is definitely needed Georgia has been in a drought for some time & Beryl is just what the doctor ordered rainfall is on the way Georgia. :)
-

Yes, but you could get way more than what the doctor ordered here with all this rain. Flooding should be TWC's major headline here.
-
I kinda agree with what I heard Dr. Knabb say earlier, Beryl doesn't seem like it'll be a big rainmaker right about now unfortunately.

Twc goes overboard bc of ratings

According to Nick Walker's Facebook:
Join me with Adam Berg @TWCAdamBerg from 3-7pm ET today for #Beryl coverage
So, yes, they are pre-empting long-form today. Also, HD LDL is on red mode.

Saturday
7am-11am Jen and Eric.
11am-3pm Ryan and Heather.
3pm-7pm Adam and Nick.
7pm ET Paul and Kim.
Extended live coverage done at 8pm ET.
Sunday TWC is live all day.
5am-7am Alex and Ray
7am-11am Jen and Eric
11am-3pm Ryan and Maria
-
3PM will be Chris Warren and Heather Tesch.
-
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that during WCL (7pm onward) will have extended coverage. (Limited LFs; squeezeback on all LFs except the ones at 28/58 past.) Maybe even go commercial free for a brief time period when Beryl makes landfall.
-
I say probable red LDL.
-
I say probable red LDL.
Has the LDL been red (I'm taking about yesterday, mainly)? On SD, I saw no change, but it looked a lot darker like a red, or even black, color on HD. Adrian also said yesterday that the LDL was in red mode. It just didn't seem as noticeable to me this time. :thinking:
-
It seems the only change during severe weather is the background behind the graphics on the LDL is black.
Carl Parker is covering the severe storms at the expert desk with Bryan Norcross covering the tropical storms.

7PM-11PM: Kim Cunningham and Carl Parker
11PM-3AM: Paul Goodloe and Adam Berg
Also, for the last couple of days, the OCM now says on WCL: "From the Weather Channel's Headquarters in Atlanta, your watching Weather Center Live". They originally said that on DP but now they are saying it on WCL.

Also, for the last couple of days, the OCM now says on WCL: "From the Weather Channel's Headquarters in Atlanta, your watching Weather Center Live". They originally said that on DP but now they are saying it on WCL.
That sounds like the producer's doing and whoever produces Day Planner could also be producing WCL right now :yes:
I remember them saying that on WCL 1AM ET this week.

Regular schedule resumed at 11pm ET.
Adam and Danielle at 1am ET.
In previous weeks if one of the OCMs was off or filling in earlier they would just have one OCM on at 1am ET.

Is this a new schedule lineup? :unsure: :dunno:
-
That was just for Monday when they were live with storm coverage.
-
They broke into live coverage at 3:30 PT because of dangerous storms in the NE.
-
Good move by TWC, plus who wants to watch an outdated Top 5 Tornadoes countdown show from 2011?
TWC staying live for 8pm with storms in the North East and a possible tornado in OK for the Tornado Hunt team.
Back to taped programming at 9pm ET and I tune out.
An old episode of Iron Men is more important then the North East storms and the Tornado hunt? :censored:
-
From what I saw of TWC's coverage tonight, I was very disappointed that they only seemed to focus on the NE. There were other storms in the Plains, but, oh yeah, the NE always takes predecence. :rolleyes:
-
Eric and Jen started at 5:30am this morning, although still on First Outlook. :blink:
-
Eric and Jen started at 5:30am this morning, although still on First Outlook. :blink:
Could TWC be cutting time on WUWA??????

The schedule hasn't been normal lately, so I would answer this with a "no." Because, according to IceManNYR, there was an hour-and-a-half of WUWA on Monday. :thinking:
-
Jen and Eric hosted First Outlook at 5:30am ET again today. I have a feeling they cut back Alex's time frame to an hour and a half so he doesn't have to host two hours solo.
-
From what I saw of TWC's coverage tonight, I was very disappointed that they only seemed to focus on the NE. There were other storms in the Plains, but, oh yeah, the NE always takes predecence. :rolleyes:
Well one major reason why they believe they could do that is that the NE is way more populated than the plains. But I do see your point, everyone's life is just as important, no matter how many there are. ;)

Major population centers, including at least 5 of the country's biggest cities. And it's also the timezone TWC's schedule is based off of. They can't focus on every weather story out there-no one could. But they do the best they can.
-
One thing I've noticed about the HD national LDL is that when it's blue, the days of the week above the forecast boxes are in mixed case, but when it's black, they're in all caps.

TWC has extended it's weather coverage since 2pm ET covering severe storms.
http://www.weather.com/tv/tvshows/Livestream (http://www.weather.com/tv/tvshows/Livestream)
2pm ET Vivian Brown & Nick Walker. Carl Parker & Jim Cantore at the Expert Desk.
3pm ET Vivian Brown & Ryan Goswick. Carl Parker & Jim Cantore at the Expert Desk.
3:30pm ET Crystal Egger & Ryan Goswick. Carl Parker & Jim Cantore at the Expert Desk.
4pm-8pm ET Crystal Egger & Kelly Cass. Carl Parker & Jim Cantore at the Expert Desk.
Carl left at 6:40pm ET. Jim mentioned Carl was at TWC since 5am.
I was surprised TWC went to taped programming at 8pm ET.
9pm ET Crystal Egger & Kelly Cass, Jim Cantore at the Expert Desk & Adam Berg Social Media segments.
-
According to Maria LaRosa's Facebook:
Eric and I are just about to wrap up Weekend View. Join us tomorrow for Your Weather Today starting at 7aET. If you're feeling especially ambitious and will be up at 5:30a, I'll be there anchoring First Outlook! Have a great day and see you then!!
So, yes, whoever anchors YWT in Atlanta also hosts FO at 5:30AM.
-
The OCM schedule was different today with Al off.
5:30am-6am was Maria and Eric.
7am-9am was Stephanie (NYC) and Jen (ATL).
9am was Jen and Eric.
-
According to DirecTV, PM Edition still exists :huh:

There's a new promo running for the 6am-9am hours.
It's funny that the promo shows Al, Stephanie, Mike & Jen and it does not show Eric and Maria who also do some segments on WUWA and YWT.
Alex and Jeff were on 5am-7am.
-
According to Mike Bettes' Facebook, he is going back to NYC on Monday for YWT.
Was Mike off last week after the Tornado Hunt? I did not watch YWT/WUWA since I have no school. Can you guys confirm that?
-
BTF on CNBC
-
:facepalm:
I mean, I guess it kind of makes sense, because NBC owns TWC, but couldn't they at least be original and think of some new icons?

I like the 2006-2010 IS icons better (and of course the 1998-2006 icons even better.)

WCL started early at 6:30pm ET on Tuesday as TWC covered severe storms in Texas.
Wednesday it's extended 7pm to 9pm ET for coverage of severe storms in Texas.
-
As of 9:10PM ET the Doppler radar seems to be experiencing an outage (the radar box is absent on my Weatherscan.)
-
Now, it just says Past 5 Minutes.
-
Now, it just says Past 5 Minutes.
Yeah, according to weather.com the radar is back up and running (it jumped frames from 5:30PM PT to 6:10PM PT.) Perfect timing because I pressed record on my DVD recorder nearly ten minutes ago when the radar box was missing on Weatherscan :bleh:
-
According to Mike Bettes' Facebook, he is back in Atlanta. He will probaly host YWT from Atlanta. We don't know when Stephanie is going back to Atlanta.
-
TWC is extended WCL to 8:30pm covering severe storms in the mid west.
-
According to Mike Bettes' Facebook, he is back in Atlanta. He will probaly host YWT from Atlanta. We don't know when Stephanie is going back to Atlanta.
Hmm this was interesting to hear. I am curious if they will keep the two apart
-
Stephanie was off today
The OCMs were, 5:30am-6am Jen and Maria.
7am-9am Mike, Maria and Jen.
Mike and Maria were at the desk and Jen did reports and the 7 Day Forecast.
I don't get why First Outlook changed with one OCM on 4am-5:30am and two of the YWT OCMs on 5:30am-6am.

I thought she was now permanently in New York?!?! :blink: Don't tell me this was all temporary. I mean, I honestly thought she moved up there and would permanently be on WUWA with Al from the NY studios, hence all of the welcome celebrations and stuff they had. Is this no longer the case?
-
I heard at first that the moving of Stephanie Abrams to New York was just "experimental", but I guess because it's working out, it seems more permanent.. :thinking:

Off to NYC to anchor Your Weather Today for a few days.
Weather Center Live was odd Monday.
4pm Crystal and Chris.
7pm & 10pm Crystal and Paul subbing for Chris with Kim and Adam doing reports.
1am Kim.
It's odd that Adam is there with Kim at 7pm, 10pm and did the Weather Now segment at 1:59am yet Kim was solo for WCL at 1am.

Jeff Morrow and Vivian Brown on Day Planner, classic pairing! :biggrin:

Is anyone else annoyed with the non weather travel segments added to last week TWC?
Why do we need segments on friends, families and couples traveling?
They have nothing to do with weather.

Add Pyros to the list that isn't weather related either.
-
For me the start of non weather related regular programming was the addition of "From the Edge With Peter Lik".
When they announced he was joining the weather channel it was strange and when they announced that he would have a show and it had nothing directly do with weather it was a show to ignore.
Most of the Braving The Elements series have nothing directly to do with weather and should not be on the weather channel.
Those shows should be one of the Discovery Networks.
-
If you're talking about "Hit the Road" segments, they're advertised. Much like The Home Depot tips of the week. Not to mention the whole grilling thing they do outside on weekends.

I hear what you're saying NYR i actually liked Peter Lik's show because of his photography & i took photography class in JHS but you're right about the rest they're a drag plus i don't like the profanity they do on those shows that's not twc way & unfortunately they're not going away.
-
I prefer keeping Mike in Atlanta for some reason. Now I feel that Stephanie and Al should do their show together but Mike in NYC just seems weird.
Also, does Jen Carfagno ever get a break? I wasn't watching this morning, but I see her on most weekdays and on Weekend View.
-
Jen was off Monday and Tuesday.
TWC has schedules where some OCMs work 3 weekdays and weekends.
Here's the schedule, it might not be 100% correct.
Maria is Monday-Friday.
Jen is Wed-Sunday.
Eric is Sunday-Wed.
Kelly is on Thursday-Sunday.
Kim is on Saturday-Wednesday.

"Non-weather" segments have pretty much been increasing throughout the past 5 years alone. And at the rate TWC seems to be going recently, they seem to be adding non-weather related shows literally every week. I see promos for things like "Pyros", "Iron Men", and "Turbine Cowboys", and I think, 'What the :censored: does this have to do with weather?' :blink:
It's exactly why I hardly watch TWC anymore these days.
-
Mike was back at TWC Today and the schedule was,
4am Alex.
5:30am Jen and Maria.
6am Al and Stephanie NYC.
7am Stephanie NYC, Mike and Jen TWC.
9am Mike and Maria with Jen doing the 7 Day Forecast.
Since around 3pm EDT there are very severe storms in the north east and nothing on TWC.
Not even a scroll on the LDL. I'd rather have Weather then an old episode of Ice Pilots.
Most of the NYC stations broke in with special reports.
-
HD LDL is red/black for what will soon be Tropical Storm Debby within the hour.
EDIT: Hmm, weird, they turned it off. :thinking:
-
Kelly Cass said in her Facebook that she will be on-air from 5PM-8PM ET for Tropical Storm Debbie. They are over-hyping the storm but that's a good thing. Long-Form is going to be pre-empt.

I'm in a little early today to cover the tropics, and what will likely be TS Debby. I'm with Adam Berg from at least 5pm to 8pmEDT on The Weather Channel! Bryan Norcross is also joining us for expert analysis.

Or maybe we should make a new thread that details the schedules. I think it would be a pretty good idea in terms of keeping a 'record' of what happens with those of us who don't watch TWC enough to know. Just a suggestion. :wave:

Something I thought was interesting, on my Comcast cable guide, it shows WeatherCenter Live on from 3-8pm today then on Thursday and Friday it's back to the regular schedule.

I've seen TWC do that when they know that they're gonna preempt. :yes:

Mike Bettes will be live from Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta this morning for WUWA and I assume YWT reporting on the heatwave.

Checked the 9am hour and it was Mike at Centennial Park and Jen in the studio.
Dr. Forbes is in at 12pm.

I really meant blizzards because when it comes to those they put alot of longform on

I was halfway making a joke to be honest, but then again what I said is true anyway. We all know they've ignored plenty of tornado outbreaks than we can count on our fingers and toes.
-
Yeah I'd like to know who decides that storms are important enough to extend coverage 5pm to 7pm and then for 8pm they decide it's not important and go back to regular programming.

Central is the new phrase they use on extend coverage.
Hurricane Central, Tornado Central and now Severe Storm Central.
TWC went off at 8pm and back live at 9:30pm to 11pm ET.

Ditto or better yet, "Contradiction Central" since they love to do that too. I remember Crystal Egger saying and I quote,well paraphrase, "We have extended our coverage of WCL to cover the severe weather and we will stay on for as long as we need to to cover the storms." Hmm, I didn't know the storms took a nap from 8-9:30pm before waking up and getting busy to wrecking havoc. :lol:

Heather's hair color here: Is this because of bad lighting? It looks pink/reddish, but the rest of her body doesn't look like it's discolored. :no:

OT: I will never understand how women can walk around in heels like Heather is wearing in that picture. :no:
In the case of The Weather Channel these days, leg-revealing skirts and very high heels seem to be a requirement of the job now, so it seems like Heather has a choice: walk around in these shoes or find another job.

For months now when they stand in certain areas of the green screen they get that ugly purple reflection on their faces.
Not sure why they can't adjust the lighting to correct it.
I'm guessing the color is coming from the lighted color walls.

TWC's coverage (http://www.newsonnews.net/weatherchannel/14819-the-weather-channel-gears-up-for-the-2012-summer-games.html) of the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games
On-camera meteorologist Jim Cantore will be in London during the Games with the latest forecasts for London to provide updates and coverage for The Weather Channel and various NBC networks.
Al Roker will be in London for "Today" and will also host "Wake Up with Al" live from London. "Wake Up with Al," hosted by Roker and Stephanie Abrams, airs weekdays from 6-7 a.m. ET and 10-11 a.m. ET on The Weather Channel.

This was a programming guide error right? :blink:

It probably won't be much longer before The Weather Channel joins all the other NBC networks and starts airing Olympic events instead of regular programming.

Stephanie is still in Atlanta working alongside with Mike, I'm assuming until the Summer Olympics come to a close. Maybe it's me, but isn't it a little odd Steph wasn't with Al in London? I mean haven't they done the show in locations outside NYC together before? :dunno:
EDIT: Looks like she'll in Atlanta all this week and return to NYC Fri/Sat to make her move permanent and apparently WUWA is getting a new studio next week.

I knew it they're getting a new studio! I hope that it is bigger. The Today Show is also getting a new Studio after the Olympics.
-
Right now on NBC, they're showing Jim Cantore giving a brief weather forecast in London's "Little Venice". He's on top of a boat in a canal and saying that there's just a slight chance of showers in the evening.
-
It looks like the move is permanent....

Happy seventh birthday to the square TWC logo.

You're right Billy. 7 years since TWC had their relaunch with the new logo, and local forecast. I remember tgat relaunch as if it was yesterday!

I remember seeing the sunny background on the local forecast and instantly fell in love with it. :yes:
-
I thought it was ok but honestly I liked every local. I really loved the openers and promos from that era. My favourite is the local forecast opener with the seagulls and yellow background. Can't get anymore classier than that
-
I think my first day of 7th grade was on the same day. :thinking: I remember seeing the new logo and thinking Why did they ruin their signature logo by making it bland and boring? Now, my opinion hasn't changed, I'm just more in content with it. :itsok:
EDIT: I did like the Lot8s openers/relaunch promos along with a couple of show openers like Day planner, they had the best show graphics and theme music imo. :yes:
-
I never saw the relaunch on the exact day in '05 because my cable was shut off August 9th and I was moving into a new place with my parents at the time. However, I do remember seeing the square logo behind someone who was on the air (whose name escapes me at the moment) hanging on a wall in the TWC studio, just before my cable was shut off :yes:
-
Was From the Edge by peter Lik really cancelled? If so that explains why it's not on anymore.

I was starting to wonder about that myself :thinking: IMO that was the only long-form show that wasn't boring to me. I loved all of the landscape pics that Lik took :yes:

I guess there are going to be no new seasons.
The show's FB page has been deleted. http://www.facebook.com/TWCFromtheEdge (http://www.facebook.com/TWCFromtheEdge)

The FTE page on weather.com still exists:

Maybe the show wasn't intended to run for more seasons? :dunno: Who knows?
Someday, hopefully all of the episodes will released on DVD someday. I'd buy that because I liked the show, compared to the other boring long-form shows that are on TWC today. If not, I'll have to record all of the reruns while I still have a chance.

I think this is the first time TWC has utilized a couch in a set on air since Weekend View went HD in 2008... I'm impressed. Also, man, they really changed EVERYTHING in that studio.... There's not a trace of the former WV/A&B set left...
-
I think this is the first time TWC has utilized a couch in a set on air since Weekend View went HD in 2008...
Didn't "Flick and a Forecast" use a couch?

True, I believe they did. I'm not sure if that was in the HD studio or not though.
-
I'm impressed with the number of new studio area's and shots they have at their resources. The DMC with the chair's seem a bit too open on camera, maybe add a low 'Coffee-Table' type thing there would make it look a little less awkward on camera. The color's remind me of the original HD studio, which I loved and I'm glad they're bringing back more color. For a while it seemed like they dimmed the panel's down where the color was a bit more dull on the wall. Hopefully they'll turn the studio lights red again sometime soon, I really liked when they did that in the past (During Storm Alert).
As for WUWA, I hope they get a new studio soon (I've seen somewhere that they were supposed to be working on it now, not sure if that's true). It's getting a bit awkward with the cramped space and how you see the lights and ceiling when they show a wide shot, that annoys me.
-
I see TWC is overdramatizing Isaac right on cue with that Threat Index. The threat index itself isn't the problem for me, it seems similar to what they used for Irene last year. It's the words they're using for each color code like "AWARE", "ALERT" that are grinding my gears. Obviously all the Caribbean/FL/Gulf Coast needs to be AWARE and ALERT to take ACTION for EXTREME conditions. <_< :rolleyes:
What happened to using traditional wordings like low, moderate, high instead of words that basically mean the same thing regardless of color coding.
Great, now they've gone off and sent me into a rant, thanks a lot TWC. :P
On a more positive note, anyone want to take a guess at when they'll go all STORM ALERT MODE (in theory I mean). I'm guessing Sat/Sun and just like with Irene I expect limited to no LFs once Isaac makes landfall wherever that turns out to be. Oh and let's not forget TWCSocial will be on full blast so make sure to tweet to #ZOMFGISAACCOMINITZGONRAIN!
-
But tell us how you really feel. :P I don't think they're overhyping it. We'll wait and see what ends up really happening, I suppose. Needless to say I'm tuned in and watching and I live in Topeka, KS!

According to TWC's Twitter, Mike Seidel will be reporting from Cuba starting tomorrow at 4PM ET.
-
Apparently that's a first for TWC. I'll definitely be watching.
-
I hope I'm not the only one, but that is really weird and exciting at the same time. Definitely going to make sure to tune in the next few days. It's not odd from a stand point of covering weather, but from a 'political' stand point... It seems a bit awkward. :huh:

I think he's making reference to how Cuba is a Communist country. ;)
As for Tampa, it's fairly normal here at the moment, so I don't see why they would need to send anyone here yet. :no:
-
During the forecast segments on Isaac they spam the screen promoting Twitter and text message alerts.
It's very distracting and annoying and takes away space.

I'm pretty sure he means it's because typically reporters are not allowed in to the country to do reporting, especially live, from Cuba. Everything they do is monitored carefully by their government. From their words to their actions, anything can be shut down at any time and they can be forced out of the country, or arrested, for saying the wrong thing. It is not like America with freedom of press.

Ah, I see. I wonder what kind of strings they had to pull off to make this assigned location possible. :thinking:

It seems TWC is planning to be live to 3am or later for the next 5 days.
"Kelly Cass
Good night! I'm back the next 5 days, on air 11pmEDT to 3amEDT as our Isaac storm coverage ramps up!"
-
Maria LaRosa will be in Key West, FL alongside Stephanie Abrams later on this afternoon. Maria is an interesting choice, I think this will be her first tropical storm/hurricane she's covered out in the field in the 2 years she's been at TWC.
EDIT: Also looks like TWC will literally be going live 24/7 up until late next week according to Jen.
-
Wow twc is going all live for this? Reminds me of how they were like that 10 years ago
-

Apparently so, this could end up being the longest they are consecutively live on air in quite some years if you start from this past Thursday.
-
Seeing Dr. Rick Knabb on TWC a lot these past few day's. I'm glad they have him on and that he and his team at the NHC are explaining their changes to the forecast live on air. It's much like a family reunion it seems. B)
-
The last time they were like this all 24/7 live was during Ike or Gustav coverage...I'm pretty sure it was Ike back in September 2008

I don't think so..I didn't see anything significant weatherwisr that would cause them to go live all day, then again I don't watch twc as much as I used to so I could be wronf
-
Eric Fisher will be reporting from Ft. Myers, FL. I wonder why they're placing everyone so close together like that?
-
I don't know the reason why, but I think that it's a good thing due to the fact that how much conditions can vary from just a few miles (>10) and they could better cover these 'small' differences from location to location.
-
Add Reynolds Wolf to the list of OCMs and reporters covering the storm. He is reporting from Miami.
-
Add Julie Martin too she's heading to Tampa!
EDIT: Sheesh, they're not gonna have anybody left to be on air if they keep sending everybody to Florida! Who's next? Crystal? Chris? Mike B? Nick or Viv? :lol:
EDIT #2: Julie is another interesting choice, I don't think she's been out in the field for a tropical cyclone since Hurricane Dolly in 2008. This team is more diverse than it has been in years past. I like that. :yes:

TWC is really blowin' this storm out of proportion :thrilled:
I can understand the reason why they're doing it considering how most of the models rapidly blow this thing up like a bomb after it's away from Cuba. Some of them are getting downright scary to be honest. It's also not far from a pool of very warm water as it approaches the Keys, it could easily ramp up some right there if the circulation stays in the open waters like it is now.
Since we know Al is gonna be with Stephanie does that mean WUWA is gonna be on tomorrow as a special edition like it was with Irene? :thinking:
-
It may become a MONSTER if it hits the Gulf Coast. Or it could be like Irene and be nothing more than just a tropical nightmare. We'll just have to wait and see.
-
You're right, unfortunately that's the kind of game we have to play with every tropical system where intensity is being questioned.
-
Even though my guide says coverage is from 7-8:30pm, 10-11:30pm, 1-2am, it seems live coverage is going to continue. Jim Cantore, during his live spot, let it slip that NBC is involved with where people are going and how this coverage is going forth so only time will tell how well this coverage goes.

It certainly feels like it, even Mike slipped and said once going to a break that they would be back with YWT.

I've noticed since Weekend Now started whenever they go to commercial break they play this production music they use a lot for severe weather, but the version they're using is more dramatic.
-
Dr. Jeff Masters from WeatherUnderground is going to be at TWC for the duration of the tropical storm coverage.
He was just on with Bryan Norcross.
Speaking of dramatic, am I the only one who finds the tropical storm video edited to what sounds like fast chase music from a movie sound track to be a bit tacky and unnecessary?

They played some music that sounded like spooky Halloween music earlier today. :blink: It didn't sound as bad as the music in that video though.

Where have you been???? Both LDL's have been dark blue since TWC has been worried about Isaac. The LDL's should be red I think. Dark blue mode is fine for Holiday Travel but, not for this kind of weather!
Is STORM ALERT coming? 7PM???
-
The background of the HD LDL is still blue yes, but the templates that display the weather info is dark red and has been since Thursday as I mentioned.
Concerning you question about Storm Alert, technically they already are in that mode if the studio is lit red, they just aren't using the music.

Notice where the Right Now conditions are, the template is dark red, normally it would be dark blue.

I have a feeling that the LDLs they're using now are hybrids between the normal blue LDLs and the red LDLs..

Half-assed, and made at the last minute. I dislike the lower third.
-
I think that lower third is based off that bug they use during a developing/breaking news at the top left. It looks similar to it.
On another note about the red lit studio, anybody find it interesting they did that, but didn't do it for Irene? Seems rather peculiar, but maybe since the threat shifted towards New Orleans and the all too coincidental timing of Isaac around Katrina's 7th anniversary this Wednesday they felt they needed too just in case it does try to intensify quickly. :dunno:
EDIT: I noticed the Global Forecast Center is now red as well, it wasn't yesterday evening.

Ooo, just heard the 2008-2010 morning sponsor teaser music! :thrilled:

-
TWC is promoting WUWA with limited commercial interruption Wednesday at 5am ET.
-
It would be nice if they did limited commercial interruption now! Making me turn the channel to other networks and it just made landfall. Yet they're barely showing the live shots they've paid a lot of money for. All those reporters out in the field they've been hyping for days now are barely being shown! They had more coverage last Friday than they do this evening while it's actually hitting. Friday they were using the squeeze backs for LOT8's to provide more coverage. Now it's commercial city. Ugh. :nono:
Edit: I remember when they used to show the live shots more than they did current data. No LOT8's now, BTW.
-
They have focused a lot of their attention on doing more throwbacks to the Hurricane Crew, interviews, and showing live press conferences than they used to in the past. The latter, not to say it's not important, but since they're only showing snippets of it, that time could be spent more on live shots.
Also, I wanted to point out that I really like this production track they used at the beginning of Day Planner today. It felt very Storm Alert to me. :happy: That blooper of Jen I mentioned in the blooper thread is in here too.

This is the longest the studio has been lit red since the move in to the High Definition studio.... We're going to hit 5 days this afternoon...
-
What is up with TWC and their geography issues? First of all, one female OCM (not sure who) apparently called my state (Mississippi) a "Land Mass between New Orleans and Mobile". Many people have reported seeing this but no one was recording it.
Secondly, I've seen multiple (at least 3) graphics showing "Mobile Bay, MS. In case you didn't know, Mobile Bay is in Alabama. I understand if it was a typo the first time, but 2 more times! What a sorry GFX director.
-
Iassc coverage ended at 2am ET. TWC back to the regular schedule.
-
I have to admit that I'm very impressed by their coverage on Isaac. On the one hand, in their new long-form universe, maybe it seemed a little overhyped at times, but, on the other hand, compared to what TWC used to be, it was spot-on!
-
Extensive coverage may be winding down, yet they still remain in RED MODE as I saw a few minutes ago. :o
-
They did extend live coverage today through the afternoon.
-
I believe TWC did an excellent job on their coverage of Isaac. The sad fact of the matter is they've pulled me back into viewership with the likely-temporary instrumental music and 24/7 coverage schedule. I know this'll probably only last a few more days, but I must say that my biggest excitement from Isaac wasn't the original track towards Panama City, only the fact that (our) old channel returned to its old self for a few days.
When I tune in and see nothing but long-form, I go back to wishing Landmark had never sold it...
-
I thought the opposite. I was not highly impressed by their coverage. There were parts I liked, other parts, not so much. Some OCM's sounded like they had no idea what was going on. One live shot I tuned in to, the meteorologist was talking about smelling bacon...okay, thanks for that. As I've stated before, I am not a huge fan of Bryan Norcross, so when he was on it was hard to watch.
However, as I stated, there were some times during the day where they seemed to be on top of everything and knew what exactly was going on.

As I've stated before, I am not a huge fan of Bryan Norcross, so when he was on it was hard to watch.
However, as I stated, there were some times during the day where they seemed to be on top of everything and knew what exactly was going on.
I saw that, (from my recordings when I came back home) that was during Jim and Al's live shot, but I can't remember which of the two brought it up right now. :unsure: Honestly, that doesn't come off to me as a con of the coverage, they were just making an observation that in the midst of all the heavy winds/rains they were smelling that out of the blue.
I'm still baffled as to why they're studio remains lite red...I know they're talking about Isaac's aftermath, but that's not really a reason to remain in red mode, it feels like an overuse of something they didn't bother to do for 4 years.
EDIT: Regardless, I saw a promo yesterday that claims 58 million folks watched throughout the duration the coverage which made them #1 in the ratings, not that it's a surprise.

That was Jim who brought that up. I think he wanted to mention it, but they had to go to commercial right after he said it. Then again, maybe he was hungry or just so exhausted from being in the field all that time that he just said something completely off the wall. I thought it was funny, but not LOL funny. :rolleyes:
-
I thought it was Jim who brought it up, I don't mind him finding a little humor during his live shot or even not during his live shots when Mike and Carl saw him doing push ups. He already gets a bad rep. for bringing "gloom and doom" to wherever he goes. I think he deserves to be able to show a little lighter side if he wants to.
On a side note, I never watched Reynolds Wolf on CNN so I didn't know how he would be, but I noticed he likes to say, "Let's show America..." a lot when he was reporting. Did he used to do that a lot at CNN? Also who's willing to bet he'll be a permanent OCM at TWC very soon, Isaac was probably their little test to decide if they want to keep him around longer...I can't see Mr. Wolf remaining a freelancer for them for too long, he's either gonna be hired full time by them or he's gonna end up taking a full time met job locally somewhere.
-
As I've stated before, I am not a huge fan of Bryan Norcross, so when he was on it was hard to watch.
'tis true, he was the only person out of the coverage I managed to watch (which had to accumulate to about 54 hours) that I really was ready to change the channel on. He acted like a total d-bag towards everybody and acted like a big shot, which I guess is why he thought he could cut everyone off while they were talking...
-
He behaved that way during Hurricane Andrew coverage I looked at on Youtube as well. I hope it's just the urgency of the weather situations that make him act that way and it's not how he really is. If so, he would be a real pain for me to work with. <_< I can't STAND when people interrupt/cut me off or even worse try to speak for me as if I'm deaf or something.
-
I don't particularly care for Brian Norcross, although he isn't that bad either.
Not sure how I feel about the new guy, Dr. Postel; I haven't seen him on too much.
-
Overall, I was impressed with TWC's coverage on Isaac. However, I did not like seeing commercial breaks every 5 minutes, got very annoying.
As for the reporting meteorologists, they did pretty well IMO. As for my commemts on Reynolds Wolf, I think he did okay, but I just don't see him being more than a Jorma Duran-type field reporter.
I notice he likes to walk a lot during the live shots, instead of just standing in one spot. However the way he talks and the words he uses, he would seem better on a national news station, like CNN where he came from.
Dr. Greg Postel: Not bad, but tends to stutter at times. I would cut him slack, he's just getting used to the hurricane expert position. Otherwise, he's very professional and informative.
Bryan Norcross: Okay; he seems very knowledgable and professional, despite being a bit dominate at times.
-
I'll keep it short and not talk about the mets... I just came on to complain that they're still using the red lighting. I'm kind of over it. They're still using all the graphics they used the whole time before and during the storm. I'm pretty sure it's time to go back to more normal procedures.
On a different note... I wish they'd keep the mini radar and weather graphics on the left of the LDL permanently. Maybe add it in to the IS & IS2 for local radar or nationally for zoomed in areas where severe weather is occurring. Would be nice.
Okay, seriously... now they're back to the flashing 1 second fast-paced videos they used to edit up all the time that can give people seizures? Yay! :nono:

Overall, I was impressed with TWC's coverage on Isaac. However, I did not like seeing commercial breaks every 5 minutes, got very annoying.
These events are TWCs prime money generators where the most people tune in. Its just part of the business. Plus doing a live show is pretty hectic. They need a break just to keep things going.
-
To use an analogy on Martin's point above, live hurricane coverage is like "Black Friday" to TWC. It means almost everything. You can bet all the OCMs where desperately looking for a break due to all the on-air coverage and on-the-field reporting.
-
The male OCMs are still jacketless ever since Isaac passed through the US... I honestly feel they should be wearing their blazers/jackets as it makes them seem a little more professional. I mean, I don't really need to see what type of undershirt they have on underneath their dress shirts, if they even have anything on underneath... Just my opinion...

I don’t either and I’ve been watching TWC ever since I found this at 6:50 CT this morning. I haven’t heard a thing about it on TWC which gives me a feeling that it’s either going to be a new LDL or Local forecast? The only thing is, why would TWC pick the last hour of YWT to do this?
Another interesting thing is, the vocal music has not returned to the local forecast, and the men still have their coats off.
I have Dish so, if anyone who has TWC on cable sees something, tell us!

8:47AM CT, nothing yet but I did see something that caught my eye, When Maria was doing the intro for the CNBC Segment, I saw what looked like a newer version of The TWC Logo on the touch screen. It spun around a few times, and it looked very classy. Has that always been on the touch screen when they’re not using it, or is it new?
Also, I forgot to mention this earlier but it seems like TWC has a little interference going on this morning. It’s not all the time but, you do notice it. Is that any clue?

Oh well, that’s disappointing!! I wish Mike would have been clearer in his tweet as to what he was referring to. Has anyone heard news or rumors of any update is coming to TWC? Aren’t we supposed to have a new Local Forecast by the end of the year or did I make that up?

I've been watching TWC for a while now for the coverage of this storm. But I haven't heard them mention one thing about how 11 states in the east are now under some wind related advisories. TWC seems to see only the severe weather threat and flooding threat, yes I know, severe weather can include wind, but the wind I'm talking about is not caused by the severe weather.
EDIT: Finally, they did.

Everyone. What kind of new graphic designs would you have in mind for the weather channel's bumpers and intros and map graphics? I thought of a few ideas. Like a checkerboard theme. A City Theme with the weather channel logo on walls and clouds and stuff with real people. I have other ideas to. Its sad that they don't have any theme what so ever. Plus they just let all the other shows except the weekday morning ones rot away graphics wise. :rolleyes:

My guess is they are working on the green screen in the HD studio.
I've noticed even when they are in the HD studio this week the angle of the OCMs standing and the lighting at the green screen is different from the green screen in the HD studio.
They have another green screen by the digital media center studio I'm guessing they are using.

Not digging the no jacket look. It's definitely more professional to wear a jacket.

TWC obviously LOVED them some Trammell back during the 1996 Blizzard. They played "Evening/Pier 32" at the end of one of their live segment in this video. (10:55) It was kinda weird hearing it being played as bumper music. :blink:

I don't like it. :no: It loads very slowly for me, and like everything else on their site, there's too much junk/clutter on the screen. Maybe it will just some time getting used to...
EDIT: One thing I do notice, however, is that there seems to be additional colors for stronger storms that most radars use. For example, with the storms currently over northwestern Texas, I don't remember them using that many shades of pink before on their old maps. So I like that new upgrade.

I find it incredibly unprofessional and very distracting when meteorologists or news anchors in general do their segments holding and waving stacks of papers in their hands.... It's very tacky. See example attached.
-
That seems to be the trend everywhere these days. Sitting down at a desk with neat stacks of paper is "old-fashioned" and "stuffy," while walking around, standing, gesticulating... that's "fresh" and "active." :dunno:
-
There's a reason they have papers... it's called a teleprompter. They don't always work, trust me! It went out on me one time in the middle of a newscast for over 5 minutes. It wasn't pretty.
-
I've been working a teleprompter when it crashes, it is NOT a pleasant feeling for me and I can only imagine what it's like for the anchor. So, scripts are necessary. Some stations use iPads now, to conserve papers. But hey, iPads are still technology.
But, I agree that it doesn't need to be in "stacks." Perhaps fold the papers in half. I know those scripts aren't very wide.

I understand the difficulties, however when you're doing a live shot, don't hold all of those papers and wave them out, as it's a distraction, when your live shot is a few seconds away, then put the papers away somewhere and reference them if you actually NEED to on air. I'm just speaking from an honest standpoint - it's distracting. My disabilities prevent me from being focused on one thing if there's a major distraction around.... If the newscaster is trying to say something all the while waving a huge stack of papers in my face, I won't pay attention to the newscaster, I'll be watching the stack of papers moving around.

Being zoomed out is not the problem. It's having the wireless mic and IFB packs visible since the male OCMs no longer wear jackets.

Do you live in any of the areas possibly affected? If so, maybe they're using the dual feeds they used to do? Because here in Topeka, KS we just have Ice Pilots like normal at 3pmET/2pmCT.

It wouldn't surprise me if they've started using dual feeds again... so only those immediately affected will get real weather information, while the rest of the country gets to "enjoy" the longform programming that TWC considers to be the purpose of the network now.

Whoa! Just found out we are getting back on air at 6:30, and going all the way to 11:30EDT! It's all about Sandy!

They're gonna go Irene Redux by this weekend, I can already see it. If they do I only have one request....
Please put Cantore somewhere exciting this time! His legendary talents reporting out in hurricanes was totally wasted not being somewhere like NC or VA where the real excitement was taking place during Irene. Eric and Mike made what Jim went through in NYC look like a Summertime rainstorm. I know why they sent him to NYC in the first place because of the earlier doomsday projections from the models and mainly for ratings sake, but they were gonna get high ratings regardless because they always do so I saw no sense in him staying up there.
-
OK, so I know it's a good thing that TWC is going into extended coverage, but does anyone else think it may be a little too early? And this is just in general, not for Sandy specifically. I mean, at this point, there's only so much they can talk about regarding "the future," and the forecasts are certainly likely to change.
-
I love the extended coverage, but I don't like how TWC solely focuses on the storm and neglects other weather and storms across the country. I like their incentive to raise awareness, but I don't want them to overhype the storm, either. It's not like a major hurricane going to NYC or anything. I know there is potential for widespread power outages and all, but I get an apocalyptic feel from TWC sometimes when they go into these extended coverages.

This is one of the largest potentially devastating storms the NE has seen in ages. I think its justified for them to focus on it although it would be nice for them to mention other weather. The public needs to be aware of the significant potential for a huge event.

Also, LFs are done at this point. They're going to commercial breaks on the 8s and returning two minutes later.
-
LF's do appear to be done, just when they started to air a decent playlist :dunno:. What a waste of resources. I also don't take too kindly to commercials being of a higher priority than Local on the 8's. I know that they need the revenue, but if they had to cut out something I'd imagine commercials would be first on the chopping block, IF they had their priorities straight, which they obviously do not. Airing trashy music on the few LF's they have left, trashy reality programming, and keeping their 2 minutes of commercials as sacrosanct as Social Security appears to be top priority nowadays. I've watched coverage of the Superstorm as much as anyone else, but it's really the only reason I'm even watching TWC now. I will say, however, that I'm glad that they chose to completely cut out LF's instead of airing that half-baked squeezeback - that's the only thing that could be worse.
And about the revenue, I think if they're desperate enough to fire their good OCM's to shave a few thousand dollars off their salary, and cutting out LF's in favor of commercials during their coverage, I think they should just shut themselves down. Of course, I suppose if they still have Al Roker on board they can't be too desperate.

LF's do appear to be done, just when they started to air a decent playlist :dunno:. What a waste of resources. I also don't take too kindly to commercials being of a higher priority than Local on the 8's. I know that they need the revenue, but if they had to cut out something I'd imagine commercials would be first on the chopping block, IF they had their priorities straight, which they obviously do not. Airing trashy music on the few LF's they have left, trashy reality programming, and keeping their 2 minutes of commercials as sacrosanct as Social Security appears to be top priority nowadays. I've watched coverage of the Superstorm as much as anyone else, but it's really the only reason I'm even watching TWC now. I will say, however, that I'm glad that they chose to completely cut out LF's instead of airing that half-baked squeezeback - that's the only thing that could be worse.
And about the revenue, I think if they're desperate enough to fire their good OCM's to shave a few thousand dollars off their salary, and cutting out LF's in favor of commercials during their coverage, I think they should just shut themselves down. Of course, I suppose if they still have Al Roker on board they can't be too desperate.
You clearly don't know how the television industry works, do you?

Does this image look familiar to anyone? It's from my local NBC affiliate's webpage....
([url]http://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/images/654[/url]*368/hurricane-sandy-graphic.gif)
Also, LFs are done at this point. They're going to commercial breaks on the 8s and returning two minutes later.
It looks similar to TWC's 2010 Hurricane Season Graphics.

MSNBC is using it too, not that it's a surprise or anything, just putting it out there.

I've also seen on it on the local Telemundo affiliate. The full animation for the graphic is basically the same as the 2010 Hurricane Season one, except for the different font.

I wasn't sure where to post this, but TWC is using Titan with the old titlebars right now on the live stream.

I only watched a little bit of TWC coverage this morning, but Stephanie's "inside jokes" with Mike Bettes were, in my mind, completely uncalled for. :angry: I understand she's probably running on little to no sleep, but she was acting like a teenager. Before the top of the hour (9 AM), she was supposed to give more information on the storm and just said something (I don't even remember what) that both Mike and Maria gave stunned reactions to. Heck, TWC even had to cut her off.
I like Stephanie, but not when she does things like this. :club:

It's the worst time possible to do "inside jokes" on air as many people who may not understand her personality or how things go on a day-to-day basis on these segments are watching TWC right now. At least 33 people are dead in the United States due to Sandy as of this moment, so now is not the time to act unprofessional.

Are you talking about when she said something about Maury and paternity tests? I didn't get it either. :no: Before that Mike and Maria were talking about Jimmy Fallon doing his late night show w/o a studio audience. How the whole Maury and paternity test thing fit into that I don't know. I had the same look on my face as Maria and Mike did when she said that. Even Stephanie realized how awkward she was being. :lol:

You clearly don't know how the television industry works, do you?
You clearly don't know how weather information is properly disseminated, do you? In case anyone has forgotten what this means, this is a Weather Channel fansite. TWC has a mission and a purpose. Being just another television channel or a cash cow is not one of them. If it was we wouldn't be here today, and TWC wouldn't have been created in 1982. Your adopting of the mentality of "if you can't beat them, join them", along with a few others here, leaves me disappointed in the people at TWC Today. I choose a different course, of standing up and being counted in favor of the Weather Channel I have known and loved since early childhood. My stubbornness in and of itself will change nothing, but it's not as if your pessimism is helping to improve the Weather Channel - if anything it gives them more license to destroy it. Should they have commercials? Probably. Do they need commercials? Yes (as opposed to, say, Turner Classic Movies). Should commercials take precedence over local forecasts and weather coverage? Absolutely not, and this is where my point lies. There are other schedules they can adopt that have both LF's and commercials, if they need extra coverage time. They've done it many times before, notably during Storm Alert mode. Shaving off a few ads wouldn't hurt them given the extra ratings. Broadcast networks that are totally dependent on commercials manage to air 90 minute events uninterrupted and still come out with a quarterly profit, and TWC doesn't even need to go as far as shunning all commercials. This goes back to my original point about them being desperate, greedy, or both. If they put their mission first, as they did years ago, you would have seen local forecasts during that timeframe, just as you saw local forecasts during past mega-storms.

I didn't see any of that, but from what I hear her conduct was uncalled for. OCM's should have more personality than they do at this time, but that's the wrong kind of personality. They would have been better off to highlight some of the unusual upper-level winds and temperature differential associated with Sandy, or perhaps the cold snaps occurring all over the Northern Hemisphere. Given how entrenched those two jokers are, I can only hope that the executives will have an epiphany, fire Abrams, and send Al Roker back to NBC where he belongs.

I agree that NBC needs to get rid of Abrams and Roker. They are both not professionals. There both a joke.

There is no way in hell they will get rid Abrams or Roker. Please, can we just accept the fact that they are here to stay? As long as they get the ratings, they will continue to host their shows. I don't how many times this topic has been whined about and discussed, but I'm sure it's far too many. We'll just have to get used to it before we have to call the waaaa-ambulance.
Sorry for the rant, but my point still stands. We just have to get used to how TWC is now. As various people on here have stated, if you don't like it, don't watch it. Simple as that. It's not the end of the world.
-
Just curious. How much better ratings are TWC getting now with Roker, Abrams and Bettes than a few years ago when they had Seese, Tesch and Mitchell?
Also, does the mornings have the highest viewership?

"Sandy was Jersey's Katrina"
This was a very bold statement for Jim Cantore to make... I'm not sure how I feel about this....
If we go by the perceived impact, I can see some reasoning behind this claim as people in New York and New Jersey haven't witnessed this kind of devastation in a long while. However, if we go by the Meteorology and the big picture, there's absolutely no comparison here. If Sandy was a major hurricane, then we would be on a more level playing field with this claim.

Sandy may not have been a Cat 3 or higher by title, but it certainly had the barometric pressure to make it a major hurricane and I think the damage does translate more to what a Cat 3 would do than a Cat 1 would do. That's just my opinion though.
-
For a 940 mb hurricane, I wouldn't say Katrina but definiteily one that resembled a major hurricane. People here were prepared and evacuations went smoothly and quickly. I am very glad people actually took no chances with this storm. Sandy ought be a lesson for people to leave if danger is imminent.

The facts as I see them are: 1) Hiring Abrams and Roker was the wrong decision, and 2) It's unlikely TWC will change their minds about it. The presence of number two doesn't change number one in any way, shape, or form. They detract from the network, and that's that. It doesn't mean we have to like it. If we were being tortured or beaten all the time and there was little hope of changing it, should we then like it? Should we not mention how miserable our condition is? Should we chastise others who dare mention it? Although actual torture is much worse than having your favorite TV network devalued, my post does demonstrate the general point. As for "TWC: love it or leave it", why not take a third option and try to improve TWC? Will my complaining change anything? Probably not. Will your lack of complaining change anything? Certainly not. At least I let my opinion be known, which, though not much, is more action than I can say most people here have taken in recent years. And for your information, I generally avoid watching Abrams or Roker because I don't like them. One can both accept something's existence, dislike it, and complain about it all at the same time :rofl:.

They have all day, and still are except for the concert. All of the networks of NBCUniversal broadcast it. For you to say that is incredibly insensitive and offensive. I've learned to respect your opinions, but this is going to far. How dare you. I don't know if you're in an area that was ravaged by this Superstorm, but I'm, as well as a lot of people here, have been affected by this storm. I'm lucky I didn't experience any power outage or the like, but a shittonne of people in NJ and NY experience massive damage. Learn to have some respect and compassion for other people's opinions, because you, kind sir, have pissed me off and offended me immensely.

That mystifies me as well. Perhaps that stuff should have been posted back in June when they went to long-form while a Super Derecho was striking. When TWC does what it should be doing in the first place and suspends long-form programming we should give them a pat on the back.

I do not disrespect others' opinions aside from merely posting my own views. I have never disparaged or insulted your opinions because I wish to lead by example. I have enough courtesy to refrain from laying an elaborate case against such broadcasts in the interest of your sanity and avoiding a flame war (as well as my own stress level), but it should suffice to say that I disapprove of anyone using compassion, whether deliberately or unwittingly, as a means to hold the rest of us hostage and force otherwise irrational choices on us. It might surprise you to know that I actually approve, or at least am indifferent to, relief concerts being broadcast on networks whose form and mission is consistent with such broadcasts. NBC qualifies, as does MSNBC. The stock market is closed at 8 PM, so CNBC qualifies as well. TWC's mission of covering weather and broadcasting weather information is in conflict with such a broadcast. It simply doesn't belong on TWC and if it were not for their sappiness it would not have been broadcast on TWC. In any case the concert would not be harmed in the least by being broadcast on three channels instead of four.

Looks like Sandy coverage is over, as TWC went to long-form at 11PM PT.
-
Just caught the tail-end of an interview with a so-called election expert conducting by Jenn Carfagno on the effects of weather on this election. I could not believe the guy when he said Sandy will favor Obama because he has handled the storm so well. That's contrary to what I've been hearing. Is the TWC becoming a political animal? Please bring back the good ole days.

Yes, indeed. If you hear TWC favoring the liberal side, it is because NBC is very liberal as well. ;)

No, Bain Capital owns a portion of The Weather Company, LLC. :thumbsup:

Did anyone watch "Sandy: Anatomy of a Superstorm?" I found it to be quite interesting. Some parts were a little over-dramatic, but I thought it was a great presentation.
-
I didn't understand the rush to make it, they could have waited a few months after everything is accessed before going of and making a documentary about a storm that still is ongoing as far the aftermath assessment.

Gotta milk the "#1 most watched Hurricane Sandy coverage channel" ratings for all it's worth. TWC isn't the only one who has done or will do this.

It won't be the first or last time you see anyone doing it. I expect several more "Sandy" shows in the near future even on TWC, and you can probably bet someone is already hard at work on it.

TWC is back to the regular schedule as of 11pm Thursday.
-
During 1AM WCL, they replayed the 10PM ET WCL but they had Live Updates from Kim Cunningham at 1:00 and 1:30 AM ET.
-
My first reaction was there must be some technical problem. Why have an OCM live for the first segment then go to a rebroadcast of the 10pm ET hour with outdated forecasts?
I really hope this is not how WCL at 1am ET is going to be.
-
During 1AM WCL, they replayed the 10PM ET WCL but they had Live Updates from Kim Cunningham at 1:00 and 1:30 AM ET.
So much for Weather Center Live, then. <_<

Might as well rename the 1AM show, "Weather Center West Coast" if 3/4 of the show is not live.
What is worst is that the Winter Weather Update is outdated by 2 hours. This is part of today's TWC relaunch.
-
I'd like to be there for the show prep meeting.
So Kim you are going to be on at 1am, 1:30am and 1:40am and all the other segments are going to be recorded from 10pm ET. :no:
Also at the end of the 1am hour they showed the wrong schedule since it was from the end of the 10pm ET broadcast. :rofl2:
Please tell me this was just a one time thing and WCL is going actually be live tomorrow.

It's been this way for a while now. Usually there are recorded segments from the 7pm show that are shown at 10pm and 1am.... This is to reduce costs, and less production personnel is needed to produce the shows. It didn't just start tonight, but they made it painfully obvious when they were showing a radar from 10:30 pm EST...
-
I have no problem with them reusing segments from earlier broadcasts.
What I don't like is they took whole blocks and replayed them at 1:10am and 1:20am & 1:50am having no live segments.
Most of those blocks were not even interviews they were outdated forecast segments from the 10pm show.
-
It happened again Tonight. WCL 1AM ET replayed the 10PM ET WCL. Todd Santos did Live Updates at 1:00 and 1:30AM ET. The rest of the show is a replay and has outdated forecasts. I guess this is permanent.
Maybe the 1AM ET show has low viewership ratings so that is why they are replaying 10PM ET WCL.
-
This is stupid. They should just air taped programming if they are not going to do a live show at 1am ET.
-
Evidently the Global Forecast Center now has a logo in the titlebars.....
(https://goput.it/jbf.png)

Kim and Alex are doing the 1am WCL.
It's the first time they have had two OCMs at 1am since the regular schedule resumed.
Not sure if it means the show is going to be mostly live.
TWC goes to tape at 1:10am for outdated forecast segments. :no: :censored:
This is stupid. Either do a show with live forecast segments or change the name of the 1am show because 75% of it is not live. :thumbdown:

Nope, it's still replay of 10PM at 1:10AM ET.

Has TWC finally gone to 16:9 or is it still 4:3? WCL at 1am EDT is in 16:9

Just checked the SD Channel and you're right but the LDL blocks the bottom allowing the HD "TWC, TWC Mobile logos that appears behind the HD LDL" to show on the top making it squished. It's problay only for 1AM ET since it is a replay.

I was thinking that too, because the Weather Updates were filmed 16:9 as well, but I guess we'll find out at 4am. Haha
EDIT: now back to 4:3 because of the live segment

Is there a place on Weather.com or a e-mail address where we can complain to TWC about the changes to the 1am WCL?
I only found the feedback section.

I'm not completely sure. I haven't seen anything. :hmm:

It's possible they may be doing what they accidentally did for Evening Edition West Coast back in 2008, and letterboxing the recorded video by accident. We'll have to wait until 4am to find out

The national HD LDL is back into storm mode today and they added airport travel delays on the left where the show name usually is.
The taped segments on the 1am WCL are still letterboxing on the SD channel.

Maybe they think they're fooling people?
Actually, they probably are. Way back in the day the overnight broadcasts were pre-taped. A casual viewer who just tuned into the channel for a few minutes to get the latest weather report probably wouldn't care or even notice. It's only dedicated viewers who pay attention to things like that and notice... and complain.
So, that's probably what they're trying to do, too.
However, while most of the east coast will be sleeping at 1:00 in the morning, the west coast is still in prime time, so I really can't understand why The Weather Channel, which is trying to reposition itself in the market, is showing the west coast pre-taped and out-of-date weather reports during prime time.

The 1am WCL weekends is following the same format as weekdays.
1am and 1:30am blocks live. 1:10am, 1:20am. 1:40am and 1:50am blocks from the 10pm show. :no:
The taped blocks are being shown letterboxed again. :thrilled:
I know most people don't even notice most of show is not live still this is beyond stupid to have an OCM come in to do one show and only 2 of the 6 blocks are live.
Even more embarrassing are 3 hour outdated maps from the 10pm forecast segments.
I have no problem with the show blocks having tape segments in them, however either do the show with live forecast segments or go to taped programming at 1am.
If someone wants to make the arguement it's a costs savings to replay most of the 10pm show at 1am,
they still have the al crew there as parts of the 1am show are live right? What happens if they have a problem with playback of the recorded segments?

The only place I used to notice the TWC HD logo was on the national LOT8's when the Logo with Weather.com under it used to animate into The Weather Channel HD logo.
I noticed today the TWC HD logo was behind Julie.

Figured they would phase that logo out since most stations are HD and don't use HD in their logo.

I never really paid much attention to the Max radar on air until today when it comes to wintry weather, I didn't realize they had color coding for ice (light/dark purple) If it's remotely possible, I really wish they would use the max radars on the IntelliStar, it would be far more superior than the crappy radar the IntelliStar uses now. :yes:

On another note, and I'm going to try to be as little rude as possible, but are Chris and Crystal always so boring and just out of it? I couldn't watch but like 10 seconds of the Top 5 on WCL an hour ago because they were stuttering, trying to make jokes and couldn't, and all around sounded like a mess. What is wrong with those two, and how does TWC manage to keep them together like that on a prime time spot, nonetheless. :wacko:

Should we worry that there could be a white Christmas in Arizona and Florida as well? It seems the gray color is supposed to be "Not Likely" and that the white color is supposed to be "Possible"

Basically, this map is stating that anything is possible. Haha.
-
Yes, that was a poor choice of color, especially since the color in the legend does look grey, not white. What was wrong with making the non-snow areas the same color as, say, Mexico? Probably to highlight the fact that this map isn't forecasting for areas outside the continental United States. In that case, why not go back to the U.S.-only maps, which had the U.S. essentially "floating" in the middle of nowhere?

Now if they would just get rid of the stupid naming scheme for winter storms and put all emphasis on this instead, everything would be set. I mean seriously, why didn't they just do this in the first place? :dunno: They knew how well TOR:CON was working for them, it should have been a light bulb moment instead of wasting time naming storms that we all know in reality nobody is gonna remember in the same way as they do hurricanes since every other weather outlet denounces this strategy. Hell, I forgot they were naming winter storms until I saw "Caesar" or whatever last week.
-
This STORM:CON is definitely a good idea and better than naming winter storms, IMO, I just worry that TWC will begin to take something useful and then overuse it. Hopefully we won't see HURRI:CON or QUAKE:CON or something in the near future...

The whole 'con' part of these scales they make really just doesn't sound right to me. con? Really? I'd think they could find a better name than that.

I guess the only way to find out if this is true or not is to watch at 2PM ET Monday, unless if somebody can officially confirm the schedule change ahead of time.

I hope so. That means no longform until 8pm - 10 then (I don't watch tv that time anyways)

I think TWC might have adjusted the lighting for the green screen.
You might have noticed when the OCMs would stand at some places at the green screen area they would get a purple tint on them.
Now it seems that is gone and there is more of a blue light casting on them.

They may be using the 'back-up" green screen.

Ha! Funny that you mention this. I noticed Storm Stories was on one of the local stations here and got confused, but now I have figured out why. I even thought it was TWC I was watching at first, but no, they have to show non-weather longform like Iron Men.
Strangely enough, the SS re-runs were being shown on a CBS-affiliate here, so that's a little surprising. Figured it would have been on NBC. :thinking:
-
The syndicated version of Storm Stories is distributed by Litton Entertainment.
WABC's 7.2 sub channel airs it on weekdays.
As of today the LDL is back to being off on long form programming.
-
AFAIK, only the Towers version of Storm Stories is available for syndication. The syndication for SS began in 2008, before the rebirth of SS in 2009 by Peacock Productions.
-
Checking the guide for WABC 7.2 the Storm Stories episodes being broadcast are from 2003 trough 2009 seasons.
-
The episodes of Storm Stories I've seen syndicated on our ABC affiliate on the weekends have mainly been the HD episodes. I think I may have seen them show an episode from 2003 or 2004 a couple of times early in the mornings.
EDIT: With the HD episodes I've noticed lately they butchered the closing credits, it cuts right to a commercial about 5 seconds or so before the credits completely end.
-

That's correct. They show it on WFMZ every morning and the episodes I've noticed only go up to 2008. Earlier on WPVi they were showing the episode that was talking about the President's Day 2008 Outbreak.
-
I remember seeing SS in the guide of WCIU, a local independent affiliate.

TWC was using a text scroll on the first forecast segment for each block of Weekend View.
Was this a test or is it going to be used regularly?

waaaaaaay too fucking much going on in that clip. If they're going to have a crawl, it needs to be bigger and they need to get rid of the airport travel in the lower left as well.

I agree. Thankfully the Airport Delay insert is gone now, so if they decide to use that scroll again, it'll be one less thing we have to look at.
However, I personally don't think a scroll on top of the LDL looks good like that. :no: As Jesse said, it's still too much. If it was solo without the LDL (like one might see on CNN, FOX News, etc.) then it would be better, IMO.
-

I remember seeing promos for its premiere vividly. This was when TWC started going downhill in my opinion. They advertised the show heavily throughout 2003 until the second LBI relaunch.
Also I see the newer shows produced by Peacock in syndication here too.
-
TORNADOES reported in the Ohio Valley. TWC is pre-empting taped programming to track the severe weather outbreak as this front pushes across the country.
-
I thought they might be live at 5pm with the active tornado warnings, they went to tape.
Did they go live at 5:30pm?
Todd, Kim and Dr. Forbes are on for the extended coverage.
TWC goes back to reruns at 6pm.
-

Wow, that's crazy that they only had a half-hour of live coverage. :blink: I tuned in just past 5:30 eastern/4:30 central to see Dr. Forbes talking about the tornado warning in southern Indiana. The "Extended Live Coverage" insert on the LDL led me to believe this would last awhile. Guess not.
-
This a situation where I believe TWC is making a big mistake.
When there are active tornadoes and storms causing damage TWC should stay live.
I'd rather have storm coverage then an old episode of Iron Men.
-
It looks like they're now using the solid blue TWC logo during long-form programming instead of the transparent one.
-
It finally happened, the entire 1am ET Weather Center Live is a rebroadcast from 10pm ET.
3 hour old outdated forecast segments. :no: :censored:
They are going to have to change the name of the show if they continue doing this.
Plus it's very disrespectful to those on the west coast where it's only 10pm PT to not have any live forecasts.
-
Rebroadcasting taped programming isn't anything new for The Weather Channel. Even in the 1980s, the overnight hours were the same one or two hours replayed again a couple of times. (That's what led to the infamous double-long long-format local forecasts while TWC rewound the videotape!)
However, packaging rebroadcasts as "live"... that's just not kosher. If the word "live" is in a program title, viewers expect it to actually be a live broadcast.
And I honestly didn't think about it before, since I've never been to the Pacific time zone, but you're right - viewers on the west coast get to see only prerecorded material for what should be TWC's biggest primetime weather program.
-
Let me add I have no problem with the overnights rebroadcast either.
I remember around 2008 they would re air the 1am ET Weather Center at 2am and 3am then back live at 4am ET.
1am ET just seems to early to be rebroadcasting. Also they already had Julie Martin there and she did the Weather Now segment after the 1am rebroadcast so it's not like they had no OCMs around.
Monday 1am ET they are back to the two live blocks at 1am and 1:30am and the others a rebroadcast from 10pm ET.
-
The station ID segment at :57 past the hour has disappeared as of today :huh:
-
Checking at the end of the 10pm WCL there was no ID either.
-
Was there a reason behind the sudden discontinuation of the ID segment? :unsure: That screen had been around for a really long time.
-
Was there a reason behind the sudden discontinuation of the ID screen? :unsure: It's been around for a really long time.
My best guess is since the Star ID is at the bottom of the IntelliStar they saw no more use for the screen anymore.

I really doubt that's the reason why.. you have to think about all other STARs as well
-
If I'm correct, TWC is about to have it's first 24 hours plus of live broadcasting since their Super Storm Sandy coverage.
TWC has been live since 4am Tuesday and is schedule to be live all overnight through to Wednesday afternoon.
The studio walls are red for storm coverage though the LDL is not in storm colors.
-
I had a chance to hear the severe weather beep that comes with a warning on TWC. It was serious but cool at the same time. Even the OCM (Paul Goodloe I think) was talking about the beep.
-
Here is a message I received from Tony F regarding the station ID segment:
Programming has dropped that segment as on Monday. We are still trying to find out if it is permanent.

-
The graphics and studio are in storm mode.
Does the LDL on the IS2 have a storm mode color scheme like the national HD LDL does?
-
TWC has found Nemo. It's bad that something like this is what it took to get overnight coverage, but it looks like that's what we have tonight going into tomorrow. No long-form programming tonight.
-
My Comcast Guide shows "Winter Storm Nemo" running until Saturday at 11PM ET
-
I noticed that too. Kinda odd.
EDIT: Who wants to bet Cantore will have another "thundersnow" moment while in Boston? :P
-
Tavores I hope so!!! I know he loves thundersnow
-
This is the first time I can remember that TWC sent out updated guide data for storm coverage.
-
I noticed that too. Kinda odd.
EDIT: Who wants to bet Cantore will have another "thundersnow" moment while in Boston? :P
I think he has a great chance of experiencing it again.
-
Wow, TWC is going to have their hands full over the next few days as there is a severe threat and another winter storm behind "Nemo." Let's hope they give all these systems the appropriate amount of coverage.
-
These are the times in which TWC nearly becomes worth watching for hours on end once again. Add in some 2-minute LF's or perhaps more classic LF music and you might be able to strike out the "nearly."
EDIT: According to TWC's lightning tracker, there's some lightning going on near Long Island, overlapping radar-indicated snow. This could by thundersnow after all. Cantore's not there, though; he's in Boston covering the storm there.
-
Looking at some tweets on a news article, it looks like a lot more people and websites are referring to this NE winter storm as "Nemo." Perhaps people have warmed up to the idea of naming winter storms, or perhaps this one was so big that they felt a name associated with it was necessary.
I bet TWC is going to be happy with their ratings this time around...

Well if you think of it there are other shows have "Live" in the title and are not necessarily live. Examples include "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and "Emeril Live"
You also have a good point about TWC always having taped broadcasts. This held true even as recent as the Evening Edition era as the 2-4am hours were a reprise of 12-2am.
-
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you yet another geographical-related fail, relevant to Mississippi.. and only from The Weather Channel
(http://i.imgur.com/CAxSPEQ.png)
:rolleyes:
-
I'm sorry, but The Weather Channel is disgusting me right now. Can anyone give me a reason as to why this winter storm is not named yet? I know I'm still hesitant on the idea in the first place, but they've named every other trace of snow out there, so why not this?
TWC's bias in focusing on the Northeast is painfully obvious today. The storm won't hit there until tomorrow night! Why not focus on the present first?! :angry:

I don't like the updated 7 Day Forecast graphics.
The whole fake CGI wall with the lights at the bottom is cheesy and the angle of the map is annoying as is that light flare on the top left. The ocean color is creepy.

Yikes! I think I just threw up a little. :sick: I hope TWC doesn't make all their graphics look like this.
They sure do seen to like angled maps and flares a lot.
-
Don't you like thrill rides? :rofl: I've seen local TV stations use similar views when the meteorologists are doing their forecasts on remote from local events such as fairs and the like. I guess TWC's lowering itself to their level. I agree wholeheartedly about the ocean color, but I guess they did it to differentiate the normally-blue water from the always-blue 30°'s to 40°'s temperature range.

I actually like this, however, there are some things I'd do differently.
-
Why do i get the feeling the graphics have an MSNBC feel to them?
-
Media companies are doing this type of thing all the time. Evidently they feel the need to show off with graphics such as this. I get the feeling that companies think that simply compositing a forecaster on top of a 2D map makes the station seem somehow dated, like they're trapped in a pre-2000 way of doing things. That such a setup is the more efficient way to convey the information is irrelevant. "Ooh, look how high tech we are. We have a virtual set (or in some cases, a 30-foot wide plasmascreen) and can show you our map from any angle. We can also give you 3D representations of the storms and fly under them, pan around, and enhance them with really cool RGB truecolor animated icons. Say what? Hard to read? But... look how high tech we are!"
-
This is just one reason why I don't think National weather coverage is suitable for the average household. Citizens want to know whats going on at their local level and when they'll see rain on their doorstep. TWC simply cannot fulfill this level of detail and its something that will forever have them making graphics like this. If they can't get the level of detail required, why try to make it legible? Why not just make it spiffy with shinny graphics and 3D studios? If you can't beat local, why try?
-
The updating of the 7 Day Forecast graphics seems to a part of getting all the remaining graphics and maps updated to the new graphics package.
-
Angled maps are the "thing" in broadcasting these days.
-
What bothers me most is mainly the lens flare, it's so cheap looking.
It's like they were collaborating in a room all together saying, "Hmm I wonder what can make this somewhat bad display look cooler? Hey, how about Len flares? Len flares make any design look cooler." :rolleyes:

IIRC, didn't they used to do angled maps back in the day of First Outlook? I'm almost intrigued that they want to try to bring it back; however, I don't feel it's being properly executed.

I don't know when this happened, but I noticed Morning Rush changed their color scheme to various variants of orange which is MUCH better for a morning show than the color scheme they had before.

TWC is hyping their next winter storm by keeping the scroll on during long form.
(http://t.imgbox.com/abdc2b7l.jpg) (http://imgbox.com/abdc2b7l)
It seems they rushed to do this as the background graphic appears to show the art and text safety area marks.
Also it makes no sense to put the video in a smaller window if they are not going to put the LDL on screen all the time.
Keep the video full size and have the scroll at the bottom.
If the storm is going to be this bad do live coverage and take this stupid episode Ice Berg Hunters off.
-

I suppose they have to prepare all graphics ahead of time with the assumption that the LDL will be on.
-
Since they do format taped programming for the LDL is really is no need to put programming in a smaller box as I doubt the scroll takes up much more space..
Not to mention the areas effected by the storm are already getting the NWS alert scroll in the LDL area.

I agree with this for the most part, but you have to remember that some programming where the audio (Coast Guard Alaska) when people are speaking isn't audible and you have the subtitles at the bottom.

-
Hey, at least it isn't red :D
Oh, too bad! :happy: This is the difference between a blizzard and an ordinary winter storm. Q is considered the latter of the two. So, this means the long form stays on the air without much in the way of additional coverage. I've always held that severe weather, though disastrous and inconvenient, makes TWC so much more watchable.

I'm still a fan of the old Weekend Forecast graphics over the new 7 Day version.
-
Is it just me or does it seem like TWC is trying to have IMAX graphics?

By the looks of it, they want you to feel like it's a red carpet event with spot lights and famous people getting awards. :rofl2:
-
Graphically speaking, both make me cringe. :footinmouth: However, the former style is the lesser of two evils. Of course, it's going to disappear though, eventually. :rolleyes:
-
It's getting to the point that the extended forecast on the LF is the only way viewers will really be able to read and understand what's happening in that time period. The extended forecast maps used to be really good years ago, but now they're getting really flashy and hard to see what's being depicted.

That can't be Verdana. Verdana doesn't have a curved tail on the R, so I'm guessing it's some variant of Frutiger, like on most of their other graphics.

How, though, does something like that even happen?! Someone must have been goofing off and didn't reset things to normal before that graphic had to air.

TWC logic: We've got a giant HD-capable set, and several ancillary sets throughout the building with a variety of backdrops....let's design a tacky greenscreen background because it looks COOOOOOOL!!!! :footinmouth: That's distracting as all get-out.
-
I've been doing a lot of complaining when it comes to this stuff, but I really wanna know. What was the point of spending half a billion dollars on a new studio if you're not going to use but a small corner of it for live programming now? Outside of those first 9 months when they went HD, they don't bother to use anything but the same desk in front of a video wall and a couple of green screens. Couldn't they have just done that in the old studio in the old building by renovating it and called it a day instead of wasting that money? :dunno:
-
You have got to be kidding me. This is the BEST they can do? I'm sorry for not being so welcoming and what not, but this is just amateur for TWC. I don't even know who would allow a background like that to be used. Seriously, it looks like a Sci-Fi show from the late 20th century. They need to get the old graphics director or designers from the HD launch. I feel that was when the graphics were the best.

TWC's Tornado Hunt vehicle to start rolling starting April 28th according to Dr. Forbes.

I'm really surprised how much the Vortex2 project inspired TWC to keep doing these tornado chases. That vehicle is quite expensive. The only thing missing is a small radar antenna like you see on bigger vehicles. :P

TWC is back to using multiple OCMs for Weather Center Live weekdays.
Yesterday they used 3 OCMs 5pm-7pm, 7pm & 10pm.

Alex, your posts about the vocal music are starting to become rather repetitive. I think you need to move on to other points. TWC has already made up their mind on what they will do, and constantly talking about it won't help matters.

Patrick, I'm not the only member that is not watching TWC anymore because of their vocal music, and most of my post haven't been repetitive they have been showing all sorts of reasons their current direction stinks.
if you don't like the way i post I'm sorry but my views are my own and you don't have to agree with them.
now back on topic here's what Grist (http://grist.org/list/new-weather-channel-show-talks-to-the-people-who-are-trying-to-change-the-climate-with-cartoons-and-jokes/) had to say about Hacking the Planet

I'll have to a agree with Patrick. It seems like you're always complaining about TWC and their vocal music. It's been very repetitive, and I think it's time to move on, honestly.
-
Alright, now I must intervene so that a fight doesn't arise. Alex, I'm not the only one making this request to you. I received a few complaints from other members. You have the right to express your opinions, but you've been doing it quite a lot on the same things. You have to realize a harsh reality: TWC has made up its mind on where it wants to go, and none of us can do anything about it. You have to move on. It's just that simple.
Now, I'd like all of us to focus on more positive things and realize that constant complaining will not solve anything. It's why I'm trying to pursue expanding the forum topics here with the other moderators and administrators. Just because the current version of TWC may be lackluster doesn't mean we can discuss other aspects of the network. Please listen to this advice, or I'll take more serious actions.

I very much agree with Patrick :yes:
Simply complaining to TWC about their music and programming directions isn't going to change anything :no: We the viewers just need to accept whatever the network heads throw our way now or next, even if it sounds terrible to some. I myself have grown used to the network's changes, even though I watch a little less of the channel now then I used to :P
-
...I can't believe you're still complaining about that crap. Get over it.
-
I can assure y'all that if TWC is bad enough, then just look for alternative solutions to get your weather information. WeatherNation is a starting point for national weather, but really, NOAA/NWS is one of the best places to get any sort of weather information in the US. :yes:
As for the music, if you miss it so much, then go back and watch Youtube clips of it, or just purchase the music off of iTunes. I listen to older TWC songs that I purchased all the time and while doing that, I look at various weather resources and that's plenty for me not to think of TWC but get the same feeling. :thumbsup:

To everyone in the Forums
I apologize for my posts and I'm deeply sorry for the way i acted today, i had a really bad day (something personal happened pm me if you want) and shouldn't have posted anything until i felt better.
Hopefully everyone here accepts my apology and i look forward to posting more relevant insights instead of the complaints in the past

-
I'm pumped for Hurricane Season! I enjoy following that much more than the Severe Weather Season because you have more time to watch tropical cyclones evolve and MUCH more time to prepare. With tornadoes, everything evolves too suddenly and you have very little time to prepare and react to the situation.
Although it has it's downsides, it can get REALLY frustrating when you have ANY hint of dry air or wind shear that greatly complicates the forecast.

Just a note that TWC did 3 days of extended live weather coverage which went started Monday going 4am-2am and they were live 4am Tuesday to 11pm Thursday. Today they are staying live 4am to at least 8pm.
-
MSNBC Exec Michael Rubin (http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/492864-MSNBC_s_Rubin_to_Lead_Weather_Channel_s_Long_Form_Programming.php) to lead TWC's Long Form Programming charge.
"Michael brings a great understanding of how original programming works at a news and information network, which he has demonstrated with his successful track record at MSNBC," Clark said. "We look forward to his impact on our expanding slate of originals."
-
I feel disgusted.
As far as I'm concerned, a "news and information" network should not try to be an "entertainment" network, too.
Just a couple of evenings ago, I was discussing with people too young to remember the days when cable networks actually had unique purposes. The Learning Channel, Bravo, The Weather Channel, even Discovery and History... they all had their own unique niches. Now, everyone's trying to outcompete everyone else by being pretty much the same as everyone else, and it saddens me. Not only that, but this competition through similarity just means that the quality of programming gets worse and worse with each season.
-
They're going to air more "original" shows? I guess that means they're going to bring back Evening Edition, Afternoon Outlook, Weather Scope, etc... Those were just a few of the "original" shows. How can they call new longform "original"? That's a contradiction.

Niche marketing was doomed when Wall Street came around, I think. It's a world where you can get 'voted out' if the shareholders can prove you're not working in their best interests. The very fact that you're catering to a niche means you're not maximizing profitability. Ya gotta go for widespread appeal, or you're toast.
Everyone's fighting over the biggest piece of the pie now, while the rest of it spoils.

I can only wonder where television goes from here. I thought "Jersey Shore" was as low as it gets... until Honey Boo Boo came along.

Forecasting The End seems to be the lowest of the low so far.

Basically, TWC is trying to copycat every other news network: more reality/long-form and less live programming :itsok:

Next thing you know, prison and/or crime shows will pop up on TWC. I can see it now: "Weather and Crime," a show that will detail how weather conditions influence crime rates and types. (I hope I'm not being too realistic here ( :noexpression: ) )
-
It's a shame TWC would rather produce reality shows that have little or nothing to do about weather instead of producing new episodes of shows they already broadcast that are about weather.
When was the last time a new episode of "Storm Stories" was broadcast?
We are in the minority that still go to the weather channel for weather and weather related programming and are not going to give any time to these bad reality shows like "Iceberg Hunters" and "Reef Wranglers".

Answer #1: Bwa-ha-ha-ha! :clap:
Answer #2: Just wait a year or so. :cry3:
-
And to think that between 6-8 years ago, all the longform we had to complain about was Storm Stories and ICHT/FFN. Given the state of the channel today, even going to those days would be a significant improvement.

SNL did a skit about TWC last night. A few OCMs have posted about it, even though it is clearly making fun of all of the longform they have been running. They also feature Jeanetta Jones for some reason. (Strong language warning)

What's scary is I could actually see a news network attempting a format like this in the future, as some twisted way of making news more fun. You know, when we reach a point where news can no longer hold anyone's attention because it's all about the reality shows.
It's also like a parody on the origin of soap operas, which started out as nothing more than advertisements.
And... that video was hilarious.
-
TWC just ran a promo for Weather.com before the LOT8's. That's the first time I've noticed a promo for Weather.com since they basically stopped promoting the weather.com on TV.
They also are preempting taped programming for severe storms in Florida.

If the storms were in New England i would bet taped programming would still air.

A new annoying thing that started today is they are keeping the "Connect With" OCM Facebook and Twitter lower third on screen during the entire forecast segment.
All it does is add more clutter to the screen and not need to be on more then a few seconds.

Most of the other NBC owned channels and affiliates do this too, so I'm not surprised. Like on the Today Show, where the Facebook and Twitter icons are constantly on the screen.
-
They're trying (sometimes way too hard) to stay as relevant as possible with viewers. They anxiously need us to keep hittin' em up on FB or Tweeter (as Rick Perry would say) :P
-
They are doing it again today and in my opinion it's very annoying.
It's silly to have a lower third on screen for an entire forecast segment with the same information.
-
Contrary to what TWC may think, not everyone is on Facebook or Twitter all the time and therefore they might not see TWC there. Did it occur to them that some may want to watch the channel instead? This is pretty much a carbon copy of what I see on other networks and shows. Hashtags are everywhere on those.
On another note, I actually saw them showing Storm Stories yesterday, likely due to Tornado Week coming up soon. At least it was genuine weather-related longform, unlike some of this other stuff they're dreaming up these days.

On the HD Satellite LF, Dallas showed the "Windy" icon at 7:08 PM ET.

When even the OCM's are getting "Coast Guard" and "Lifeguard" mixed up when telling you what longform show is coming up next, you know there's too much longform to keep up with on the channel. No joke, it just happened. :rolleyes:
-
Whoever updates weather.com really needs to learn how to use spell check. :rolleyes: "Neverending" is not a word: never-ending, or never ending.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually like the current green-colored long-form TWC logo :yes:

Wow, I really love those graphics. I wish TWC would invest some time and money into graphics that looked like this. I like set up of the lower-third. If only they had an updated graphic that detailed local weather.
Hope a graphics update is soon around the corner. TWC deff needs something more catchy then that god awful 7-day forecast graphic :footinmouth:
-
TWC really needs to stop keeping the lower third graphic on the screen during forecast segments.
For some OCMs it's just their name on screen for the entire forecast segment. No channel does that.
It's bad enough they won't use 16:9 maps as they format for 4:3. The additional clutter is not needed.

Somehow, I do not seem to have a problem with this. I do not see the Lower Thirds taking up that much space, and I actually think a little "hint" to follow an OCM on Facebook or Twitter is actually a good thing, especially given the rise of social media in this day and age.

They need to at least make it uniform for all OCMs and make sure the info is correct. For Kyla they don't put up the "Connect with" graphic and just keep her name on the screen when she does have a FB page and Twitter ID.
For Kim they still use a link for a FB page with her married last name that does not exist because her TWC FB link uses Perez.

WTF is going on at TWC? Are they trying to mock tornadoes?
Tweet Powered Tornado (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-KZsXMD8gw#ws) :no:
Maybe it's just me but I don't care for the Tornado Week promo where Maria is laughing as a tornado spins around in the studio either.
-
Wow, that's really stupid.
-
They can't keep OCMs yet they have money for this?
Again why would you want to mock something as dangerous as tornadoes?
-
Incredibly immature and stupid for TWC employees to do something like that.

It's just funny how TWC gets away with this kind of attitude :rolleyes:
-
Now they keep putting this larger then the lower thirds animated graphic at the bottom of the screen promoting a tornado week hashtag. It's very annoying.
(http://t.imgbox.com/adnH5UwK.jpg) (http://imgbox.com/adnH5UwK)
TWC seems to be more concerned with their social media presence then weather.

#Social #media #sites #are #all #that #people #visit #now, #so #that's #why #they #do #that. ;)
Seriously though, I do hate twitter hashtags in general, and especially when people use them outside of twitter...
-
These days, it seems ratings and appeal are directly tied to Facebook likes and Twitter retweets. It somehow doesn't surprise me to see this stunt being performed for Tornado Week.

I understand why they are doing it's just the way it's presented on screen is totally obnoxious.
There's no reason they need to have a giant animated lower third graphic on screen during forecast segments promoting a twitter hashtag.
(http://t.imgbox.com/acf19gP4.jpg) (http://imgbox.com/acf19gP4)
The graphic is to tall and blocks the intensity chart on the bottom of maps.
Plus they already have the #tornadoweek hashtag in the box on the left side of the LDL.

At TWC, even the interns have wild fans during Tornado Week, at least according to what I just saw on air.

I Totally agree, if there is already a #TornadoWeek hashtag in the (Ad Space) they could have Coming Up graphic (7 Day Forecast, at :20 past for example) in place of the #hashtag graphic.
-
Maybe I'm the dumbass here, but I really don't get the point of the whole tornado room thing. I guess I have to take half credit for not knowing because I haven't been trying hard to know what the point of it is.
Today was the first time I actually paid attention to it for more than 2 seconds. I give em credit for wanting to make their Tornado Week entertaining and informative at the same time, but it seems like they're going at it the wrong way. It looks really cheesy and goofy. I can say with 100% certainty TWC couldn't pay me enough money in my contract to do some of the silly things they're doing right now.

Is the use of the "North East" Day Planner animation rare or the use of the animated intros in general?
They also used the South and West animated intro graphics going into those forecast segments.

Yes, those animated regional transitions are very rarely used these days. They were part of the original DP package from 2008.
-
LOL! That SNL skit was hilarious!
It keep getting funnier....and then I lost it when they did the time and temperature. :rofl: :rofl2:
That was so unexpected!
Yeah, I am not sure they knew what happened to Jeanetta. If they did, I am not sure they would have done that with the character. It was funny, though.
.....right up there with Bill Cosby saying that all the new mothers on TWC were due to John Hope LOL.

The skit was funny except for the reference SNL used to Jeanetta Jones who suffered a horrific car accident in 2006 which ended her career at TWC. SNL could have selected another character like "Hether" Tesh to spoof another former OCM at TWC; Heather Tesch.

They are also using the Weekend Now transition. Has that always been used or did they bring it back this weekend?
-
Weekend Now has its own set of regional transitions; they shouldn't be using Day Planner's.
Although I don't watch WN often, I have to assume the WN transitions are used quite frequently. I know DP uses its transitions quite often.
-
I'd imagine the producers don't realize that since I highly doubt there are many left from when those graphics debuted.

Anyone know why TWC is doing no live shows from 5pm to 4am?
-
I guess they must think there's no weather going on to talk about. I just got my eyes full of tonight's TWC schedule on my DirecTV's guide; it's safe to say I won't be tuning in. No Weather Center Live! It's supposed to be their flagship segment. This is not good at all.
-
What I don't get is why TWC or the OCM's can't say why TWC is not live tonight.
No responses from the OCM's who are usually on and nothing from TWC on Twitter or FB.
We can only hope the ratings are lower then when WCL is on if this is some sort of ratings test when taped programming is on when live programming usually is.
-
Maybe this could be a sign of what's to come in the future for TWC :thinking:
-
This has to be a ratings test for being on tape when live programming would usually be broadcast.
Nothing else explains why the OCM's won't say why TWC is not live.
Tornado warnings in Texas and TWC is not live. That's bad for a channel about weather.
Update from Todd, TWC is going live at 8pm.
This is sad a tornado might have been causing damage while TWC stayed on tape with an old show on tornadoes from tornado week at 7pm.
-
If it bothers you then don't watch...
-
At the least you have to agree it was a bad idea to not schedule WCL at 7pm, 10pm and 1am and replace it with reruns.
It is still called The Weather Channel right? If there is a tornado outbreak and they don't cover it they might as well change their name.
How could there be no backup plan to go live at 7pm ET or 7:30pm when the tornadoes were spotted in Texas.
It's not just me. Many others on FB were asking why TWC was on tape and not live and some are complaning that they went to tape at 12am.
TWC can't even bother do to WCL at 1am. The network is a joke and I'm not watching.
You can get live video from the NBC Station in Dallas.

The Weather Channel is well past due to be rebranded as "TWC." It took long enough for the TV Guide Network rebranding to happen.
-
Don't get me wrong. I get the point that TWC is not going to be live weather forecasts 24/7 nor should they be.
I'm just saying tonight they made bad programming decisions for Wednesday.
They could at least have done WCL at 1am ET.
-
Last night shows that they've sown the wind (tornado-related longform*) and reaped the whirlwind (an actual tornado event). They're covering it really good today, though. In between Breaking News updates on damage, they're showing The Big 4 Cast complete with those awful icons that look like... something NBC would come up with. :yes:
* At least it is weather related. One of the biggest complaints about longform I've seen is that it isn't that related to weather ("Prospectors," "Reef Wranglers," etc.). So, the type of longform is a step in the right direction, but the scheduling is not.
-
TWC is going to be live all day Sunday.

A very busy weekend here at The Weather Channel. We're already staying live all day on Sunday for severe weather.

Warren Madden is on with Kim Cunningham for WCL and extended coverage this evening.

TWC goes to an old tornado special instead of covering tornadoes at 8pm when their are confirmed tornadoes on the ground in KS. Shame on you TWC! :no:

Why oh why, TWC? Is long-form really that important than covering the dangerous storms that are occurring in Kansas right now? Shame on you guys :(

At least TWC has their live tornado hunt feed going on weather.com. This is ridiculous. :itsok:
-
TWC goes live again at 9pm ET long after the tornadoes touched down at 8:28pm ET.

They must have just cut in. I tuned in just a little after 9pm ET (8pm CT) to see an episode of Deadliest Space Weather about tornadoes. Figures. :rolleyes:
-
TWC goes live again at 9pm ET long after the tornadoes touched down at 8:28pm ET.
Too little too late IMO, i just don't get how peoples lives are at risk and the programming team decides to put on longform programming. I've been watching TWC for almost 20 years and this example had to be the lowest of the low.
-
The storm the Tornado Hunt team were on had 3 tornadoes touch down between around 8:25pm and 9pm and TWC stayed on tape. They go live after and are apparently staying live to 11pm.
It really makes you wonder who makes the decision when they go live or stay on tape TV producers or meteorologists?
Being they were at TWC going back to when they were a weather channel in the late 1990's,
I wonder what Kim and Warren were saying to each other while TWC stayed on tape for the 8pm hour.
Carl Parker is doing a very good job at the expert desk.
-
Maybe Its a dual feed issue?
-
:hammer:
Don't tell me they did this again! If TWC's going to do this, why not just split-screen the longform vs. the live coverage? :rolleyes: I'm afraid they're really letting people down this year. Previously, the problems included OCM layoffs, sloppy graphics, poor music, or 60-second locals. Now, it's gotten worse as they forget what the "W" in TWC stands for. Will it be the same thing during hurricane season? I would say the whole longform issue is drawing to a head at this rate. It's crossing the boundary from annoying to dangerous.
-
The dual feed has not returned yet.

But ask anyone who watches TWC for weather they rather watch the coverage even if they don't live in those affected areas. Long form is killing the network i just don't see how TWC doesn't realize that if something isn't broken don't fix it.
-
So, how will this be suited to the people that have satellite? I mean, I know satellite viewers can get LFs now, but still. Speaking of LFs, it sounds like we'll be getting glorified squeezeback LOT8s permanently. Translation: no music.
As far as longform goes, it looks like some of it doesn't even involve weather (a fishing show?). You even have shows that contradict weather tenets we've been told for years. First, they tell us to go inside if you hear thunder, but then they throw a show at us with people that play with lightning. This makes last year sound good. Even "turn around, don't drown" will go out the window at this rate, with the hypothetical premiere of "Car Floaters".
But ask anyone who watches TWC for weather they rather watch the coverage even if they don't live in those affected areas.
This. :yes: I tell you, I can't believe what I've seen from this channel in 2013. This is just like a news network showing an old war movie rather than showing breaking news about an actual war that might be going on.
-
TWC went back to taped programming at 11 PM ET/10 PM CT. Ironically, they're showing that same program they showed during the 8 PM ET/7 PM ET hour. Maybe because it is about tornado myths they feel it is educational? I will say that with the storms dying and them starting to say the same thing over and over maybe going to tape now was alright. But certainly not for the 8 PM hour when there were tornadoes on the ground.
I guess tomorrow we don't have to worry about this since they have said they will be live all day. Now let's hope the severe weather does not bust. :club:
I will say that the team tonight of Warren, Kim, and Carl did a very good job. I am honestly shocked that they kept Warren and Kim on the entire time and did not switch to a new pair of OCMs a little later on, but maybe because it is the weekend they are short? Granted, I know there have been times when OCMs have stayed on for quite some time (Paul Goodloe is a good example) but it seems like recently they only keep OCMs on for a couple of hours or so. I could be wrong. But perhaps Warren and Kim's dinner break was during the 8 PM hour they went to tape?
-
I've always wondered what TWC employees think about the network's current direction of programming :hmm: :thinking:
-
It is ridiculous that they can't break into their precious repeated longform to cover tornadoes that actually touched down. This might be a sign of things to come in the future, sad to say. It seems like actual weather news is going to be phased out, and it'll just become a reality/entertainment channel a la TLC. It already is approaching that territory as it is. I said a few years ago that TWC probably will have some sort of "weather-related" sports show.

The 1am WCL is all live.
Regular shifts when TWC is live all day are usually 4 hours so Kim and Warren could have stayed on 7pm-11pm and then new OCMs would be on at 11pm.
Today the shifts should be 4:30am-7am, 7am-11am, 11am-3pm,3pm-7pm,7pm-11pm.
If they stay live it's 11pm-3am, 3am-5am.
-
I thought they did a fine job covering the Dallas tornadoes on wednesday. I think maybe they were short staffed today so there was more delay figuring out whether or not twc programming should be preempted
-
Kim on FB, "we will belive tomorrow morning through Monday morning to keep you safe! See you Sunday! Join Jennifer Lopez and me from 7-11pm!"
-
Hopefully TWC can redeem themselves today to be considered "The Severe Weather Authority" again. Saturday was a poor example of that slogan.

"Flick and a Forecast" all over again, isn't it? :thumbdown:

Commercials resumed around 8:38pm.
Though it's the least of their concerns, TWC should have a system in place to replace the LOT8's music with instrumental music only during severe weather coverage.
TWC is ending coverage at 2am ET.
-
TWC has their studio in "red mode" and the L3rds are now all red. I am not sure when this started but clearly they are in a "storm alert" type of mode right now.

Bryan Norcross has joined Carl Parker at the expert desk. Two mile wide tornado in the OKC area.

The devastation coming out of Moore, OK just leaves you speechless. This town must have the worst of luck when it comes to violent tornadoes. :( This is the third violent tornado to hit that area in the past 15 years.

I do not mean to be rude, but Chris Warren with Carl Parker is ruining everything. Chris is consistently interrupting Carl with questions and comments, and it's hard for me to get anything out of this. Carl was doing a fine job in the GFC by himself. I do not know why Chris needed to join Carl.

I'm definitely not a Chris fan, and this is one of many reasons why. Same with his companion Crystal.

Mike Bettes said they are most likely going to sleep in their cars because they might not be able to leave the area and if they did leave they may not be able to come back in to the area.

I'm proud of TWC for stepping up and covering this devastating tornado instead of showing longform. There may be hope yet. Although the ratings may not be as high as they have been in times past, they still show that TWC can be relevant.
-
They have indeed been relevant they're doing an outstanding job with their coverage this is the channel i grew up watching i have some links to share to help out the people in Oklahoma.

Sorry for the double post, but it looks like TWC has finally stopped their continuing live coverage as of 8 PM ET. At 8 PM they showed long-form then at 9 PM they had the special on the Oklahoma tornado.
Does anyone know how many consecutive hours TWC was live? Were they showing long-form on Monday and then cut into it to show the tornado coverage, or were they planning to be live all day Monday?
-
If I'm correct they went to taped programming 2am-4am Wednesday.
-
Wow!! :o It's a Jennifer Lopez and Paul Goodloe reunion on extended coverage today!
TWC is also commercial-free at this hour.

Thursday TWC was commercial free for the 4pm hour.
Dr. Forbes came on early in the 4pm hour joining Dr. Greg Postel who was on all afternoon.
Friday TWC is scheduled to be live to 11pm if not longer if there is still severe weather.

Andy mentioned this before, but it wasn't until tonight I realized how incredibly annoying this man really is. Those constant outbursts and interruptions while Dr. Forbes was talking mid-sentenced irritated me just enough to turn my head away from the TV and stop watching TWC in less than 2 minutes. It's good thing Dr. Forbes is a class act and professional when on-air because if I was in his shoes I would have been told Chris to STFU with his annoying squealing. I know that might seem extreme, but I have a pet peeve about people constantly interrupting people mid-sentence especially in a case like this when that said person is trying to explain to viewers what's happening and they can't get past a sentence without being asked a dozen other questions. It's a really bad habit I don't like.

My thoughts exactly.
IMO Chris Warren is just an annoying, constantly-interrupting person and it bothers me a lot when I'm trying to listen to Dr. Forbes talk about the dangerous OKC tornadoes. I've never been a fan of Chris and I most likely will never be due to how annoying he is <_<
-
I agree, he really needs to stop interrupting him it's just downright rude and annoying. I would post on his FB page but I am not sure if my post would be enough to make him stop.
-
I do agree it's annoying what Chris is doing but complaining about it isn't going to change anything.
-
TWC ended coverage at 2am. CNN is live all overnight. TWC is going to be live all day Saturday.
-
I've never been a fan of Chris and I most likely will never be due to how annoying he is
Why is it that TWC gets rid of all the good talent (I still haven't forgotten about Nicole Mitchell, Dave Schwartz, and Heather Tesch) and they bring in annoying OCMs? People say that smartphones have brought TWC's ratings down, but I would have to think stunts like this have done a number on them as well.
-
On my directv guide weekend now still says "with meteorologists carl Parker and heather tesch"
-
:o Really? Where is she? Oh, too bad. At least Jennifer Lopez is back.
This is yet another example of how the DirecTV technology doesn't know how to deal with the different direction TWC has been going. It took a while for it to adapt to the 60-second LFs. Now, it's showing OCMs that aren't even listed on weather.com (TWC's website IIRC). I notice that Heather Tesch's name even shows up in the DirecTV "Search for Shows by Person" feature. :itsok:
-
TWC is live all day. They sent Chris Warren to Albany, NY to cover the potential severe storms.
-
TWC has ended their live coverage as of 11 PM EDT. Not really sure why they sent Chris to Albany as it looks like not a lot happened there. Guess they were expecting a little more action, but at least that means he wasn't in the studio interrupting anyone.

Dr. Greg Forbes is on early as TWC is talking about this news from a press conference on the El Reno, Oklahoma tornado.
"The National Weather Service has upgraded the tornado that struck El Reno, Okla. on Friday to EF5, and with a width of 2.6 miles, it is now the largest tornado on record, packing radar-estimated winds of at least 296 mph."
http://www.weather.com/news/tornado-central/storm-damage-friday-20130531 (http://www.weather.com/news/tornado-central/storm-damage-friday-20130531)
-
It is worth noting that the survey teams only found up to EF-3 damage, but these accurate mobile radar measurements had wind speeds way over the required 201 mph criteria for EF-5. Thus, the upgrade was made.

TWC is starting tropical storm Andrea coverage. They pre-empted 11pm-11:30pm to talk about the tropical storm and have added the radar animation on the bottom left of the LDL.
Kim Cunningham 2 hours ago
We have Tropical Storm Andrea in the Gulf! If you have vacation plans check this out....I'll be on with Dr Postel and Todd Santos from 11-1130 and 1-2am! Heavy rain and gusty winds, maybe a few tornadoes and 2-4 water level rise in the NE Gulf is expected in the next 48 hours, then it heads up the east coast. What can you expect?
As of 10pm the national LDL is using the storm colors.

TWC is more like The Weather Channel when tropical cyclones affect the U.S. They pre-empt when necessary, and the tropical system is often all they talk about. I really wish they would do this more for severe weather season so that we don't have tornadoes in progress while TWC shows a stupid long-form program about tornadoes. I will admit that their coverage of the recent tornadoes was good. (Of course, how embarrassing TWC would feel if an EF5 tornado hit and they did not cover it!) But I still feel like some of the coverage for the recent severe weather was "forced."

I heard our NBC affiliate WXIA-TV also lost power and were running on a generator during their live coverage. They said about 40,000 folks lost power on the westside of town. Maybe TWC is running on a limited generator power and want to preserve it until the power is restored. :dunno:
Were lucky, I live on the westside and we didn't lose our power, but the lightning was unbelievably AMAZING! The CTG lightning at it's peak was going every 2 seconds. I've never seen lightning flashes so bright and vivid like I have tonight. It was purple and pink looking. :o After the storms moved out, we were treated to a pretty orange-red sunset.

No, TWC planned to go to tape at 8pm. They only stayed live due to the storms in the Atlanta area.
That's why 8pm-9pm was called extended coverage.
The 1am 6/16 WCL was a rebroadcast from 10pm with outdated storm warnings and maps.
Not one live segment.
-
Numerous severe thunderstorm warnings across the Plains and weather.com doesn't even have it as a top story. I doubt they're pre-empting either. Ridiculous... <_<

Why would NBC Universal want to promote a Disney Movie as a segment during any of their shows or promote it on their websites?
Not to mention the movie is not out till November 27. :thrilled:
I get why they are promoting Despicable Me 2 since it's distributed by Universal Pictures.
I have a great idea! How about having weather be the first thing on weather.com instead of a slide show of stories with some of them not even related to weather.

This must be to weather.com what longform is to TWC. In light of the potential money trouble, what would be cheaper, weather coverage or longform? One might say longform is cheaper because it can be rerun over and over; weather coverage is only rerun so many times (it really is, no kidding). However, there's so much longform that the cost might balance out in the long run. ;)

You do not know how much I have wanted this. Heck, I have even sent them feedback at times asking why they have to have these stupid top-stories on "What is THIS?" or "They Did WHAT?" or "How Did THAT happen?" or whatever other crap they like to promote when there is something more important to talk about: WEATHER. Again, I guess it's just a way of making money. Let's just say I wish I was in charge of weather.com.
-
I get The Weather Channel airing commercials for the Disney Movie. It was just strange to have Mike Bettes doing an intro to the trailer during the live show and having Kyla being on a video clip that airs before the trailer on weather.com.
I doubt any Disney TV network would do the same thing for a Universal movie.
-
TWC started WCL 30 minutes early to cover a reported tornado in Denver. It's a good thing too - I almost didn't think they were going to. :hammer:
-
I noticed the touch screen in the studio that used to have a Perceptive Pixel logo on the bottom on it now has a Microsoft Logo.
-
Where are Chris and Alex in this picture? Is that the Global Forecast Center? This was taken from the 10 PM ET hour of WCL last night, and I also noticed that Day Planner is in the same place this morning. Is something going on with the "normal location" in the HD studio?
-
On the AM shows and WLC they were avoiding the video wall area so I'm guessing it was being worked on.
That is Studio 1C the former Digital Media Center that got a remodel in 2012.
It used to have the left side of the studio with the desk and computers and the right side of the studio with the brick wall interview area.

I'm starting to think TWC is doing some of the changes that are coming. With the live shows such as DP, WCL, etc being shot in a different studio now. We can all hope they are making the changes now and hopefully they will be good changes.

Here's the answer from Kyla on FB about the video wall area,
"Kyla Grogan It's been getting some work done Should be back soon, I would guess Monday."

The video wall was used during 10pm WCL

TWC has preempted long-form programming to cover President Obama's speech on climate change.
EDIT: TWC has resumed regular programming as of 3PM ET.

From the LA Times
The weather's always fine for the Weather Channel
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-weather-channel-ratings-20130705,0,4755475.story (http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-weather-channel-ratings-20130705,0,4755475.story)
-
Great article. I watched TWC's coverage of the Moore, Oklahoma tornado and was taken by surprise at how awesome their coverage was. Straight to the point, great explanations and nothing seemed hype (I mean seriously, I don't think there is a such thing as "hype" with a tornado like that).
I remember reading a statistic saying that 96% of the viewers during that time period were not watching from areas affected. Not that I need to tell you, but that leaves just 4% of people in the areas affected were tuned in to The Weather Channel. So, that means, a fact that many of you have brought up here, people tune into their local television stations for storm coverage.
Anyway, I sometimes have TWC on as background, and seriously, Lava Chasers?
-
The only thing that bothered me about that article was the sixth paragraph:
Helped by a steady string of blizzards, tropical storms, hurricanes and tornadoes, the cable channel has increased its revenue while some other media outlets have struggled. Even when the weather in most of the country is mild, the channel's round-the-clock coverage tends to be heavy with big graphics, capital letters and warnings of what bad weather could be unfolding somewhere, soon, in the United States. Such weather data are now expanding to the Web and cellphones, part of the reason the company changed its name to the Weather Co. from the Weather Channel late last year.
Round-clock coverage? Are you kidding me? :rolleyes: Perhaps they were referring to the mobile apps and website. However, I completely agree with the latter part of the paragraph that says TWC likes to focus on the "future" instead of the "now." Take this instance, for example. Instead of including decent coverage of the central Plains heat wave and Midwest storms on their homepage, they have the big red banner and top story as something about Chantal, a tropical storm still days away from "landfall."
-
the company changed its name to the Weather Co. from the Weather Channel late last year.
Does this by any chance explain why my DirecTV unit now uses WEA (rather than TWC as in times past) as the abbreviation for the channel? I suspected something was up. At least "weather" is still in the name, but it still makes me wonder what's coming next.

Comcast made the same change recently. Doesn't make any sense to me regardless of the reason. :no:

Last year there was a survey by The Weather Channel on possible new names for the channel's id on cable guides. Maybe WEA was the highest rated.
My cable company uses TWC and TWC HD.

From The Front
Dear Alex Somers,
July 10, 2013
If you have not already tuned into The Weather Channel's Morning Rush this week, we would like to ask you to tune in this Thursday and Friday between 7A-10A. On Friday afternoon, July 12th, we will forward you a brief survey to gain your feedback on the program. If you complete the survey, you will be entered into the monthly draw for one of three awards.
We appreciate your participation and look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you,
The Front

Following up on the note that the ID for The Weather Channel on DTV is no longer using TWC.
FiOS changed the ID name for The Weather Channel. The SD channel is now WEATH. The HD channel is WEATHD.

Following up on the note that someone noticed the TD for The Weather Channel is no longer using TWC.
FiOS changed the ID name for The Weather Channel. The SD channel is now WEATH. The HD channel is WEATHD.
This is the same case with AT&T U-Verse, except I think the HD name is WEAHD (without the "T"). SD is WEATH.
-
DirecTV is using "WEAHD" and "WEA"
-
FPB is using WEATH and WEAHD. (They had actually used WEATHER for a long time on DTAs and on QAM.)
EDIT: Interestingly, FPB posted our new channel lineup (to take effect August 20, when TWC moves from 33 to 49) and had TWC labeled simply as "WEATHER".
-
I have to laugh at the new emphasis on weather. I feel the station is doing the exact opposite - moving away from just weather, with stupid long-form shows such as Reel Rivals, Prospectors, etc. Hence, renaming the entire station to "TWC" would have made sense. But I guess Time Warner stole that acronym. :hammer:
-
They still can't get the lighting adjusted at the other desk area.

Barring broken fixtures (and lack of money to replace them, which is unlikely), it's a stupidly simple fix.

I agree, but knowing TWC they are stuck finding ways to drive away "weather drawn" viewers rather than bring back either a revamped K or L/M Flavor.
-
TWC in the old days did these promos as well, and some were pretty good. Of course, they still had plenty of time to fit them in with everything else years ago due to less commercials.
-
This is a little bit off topic from the current discussion but I was digging around in the Video Helper Library and have Identified a few tracks. VH 29 Track 27 "Datastreams" is used for most of the Live Weather Updates\Squeezeback Local Forecasts during longform. VH035 Track 43 "Anger Pays Off" is the Old Tropical Update music. Also, I was able to edit together a little bit longer cut of the Evening Edition music. If anyone wants me to post it here, just say and I will.

Was reading Weather Channel reviews and happen to come across this?
The company used to be a fantastic place to work. But since the new CEO came on board (the 3rd CEO in 5 years) it's been downright awful. He is a multimillionaire who owns his own jet and also happens to be formerly with Bain Capital, the company that owns 1/3 of the company and primarily runs things. His job is plain and simple: sell the company as fast as possible now that Bain and the other owners have had it for over 5 years after buying at the peak of the market for an overpriced $3 billion. The CEO didn't even bother to move to the headquarters? He still lives in Boston, where the company has no offices.
This is posted by an anonymous VP who currently works at TWC. Posted on March 22 of this year. Link Here hwww.indeed.com/cmp/The-Weather-Channel/reviews (http://www.indeed.com/cmp/The-Weather-Channel/reviews) the sixth review down. It also talks about that the ratings even with long form are in the dumps. Bain Capital Runs Things? I thought it was that nasty Rainbow Colored Peacock. If The Weather Channel is going for sale it better be bought by the NWS. :P

So does this mean they will finally understand that they've been heading in the wrong direction? Hopefully they'll see that and fix a few things. Like Long Form hours or maybe LOT8s?

I'm sure TWC will discover that the audience sentiment corresponds to what we (part of TWC's audience) have already expressed about TWC's direction. I don't think they'll listen, though. So, nothing will be fixed.

WCL at 1am is back to using two OCM's for the live blocks 1am-1:08am and 1:30-1:38am.

I've also noticed most of the guys are back to wearing their suit jackets.

I think TWC should do so. I had no idea about such event until I found out about the orange logo. I'm sure it will raise awareness a little more if TWC did so, as well as other networks.
-
Does the IntelliStar 2 have the orange logo too? I assume it does. As for the SD IntelliStar, I'm still kind of surprised that they would continue to add new updates for the regular SD IntelliStar since it's already 8 years old and standard definition television is already declining. I'm sure that the XL and the 4000 are still the same as always (like the "Green is Universal" campaign).
-

-
i think if we get a hurricane or major weather event to warnant "Red Mode" (formerly Storm Alert mode), they should have the Logo go red as well.

There are still cable systems like FiOS that have no IS2 local forecast on TWC HD. They need to keep updating the SD IntelliStar as it's the only place on some systems to get the local forecast.

Xfinity is basically in the same boat as FiOS regarding the IS2, since i haven't heard anything from either Xfinity or TWC regarding the situation the IS2s have been either been set to launched in 2014 or TBA all together.

That's not a bad idea. I think TWC should do that for Winter Storm's this winter and Hurricane's next year. By the way did anyone hear if TWC is naming winter storms this winter? :dunno:

Whenever there's either a hurricane or tropical storm, TWC usually updates the program guides whenever necessary and labels the program guide as "Hurricane/Tropical Storm _________ Coverage" as the storm occurs. I recall seeing "Hurricane Jeanne Coverage" on TWC's program guide back in 2004 when Hurricane Jeanne was making landfall. TWC must of requested either Zap2it or Titan TV to update the listings.

Whenever there's either a hurricane or tropical storm, TWC usually updates the program guides whenever necessary and labels the program guide as "Hurricane/Tropical Storm _________ Coverage" as the storm occurs. I recall seeing "Hurricane Jeanne Coverage" on TWC's program guide back in 2004 when Hurricane Jeanne was making landfall. TWC must of requested either Zap2it or Titan TV to update the listings.
Yeah, I remember seeing "Winter Storm Nemo" as a programming block when that winter storm hit. However, with Tropical Storm Karen being a bust, I would presume they would cut their coverage short.

No WCL tonight at 1am ET.

I also remember seeing a long-form show in place of the 1AM ET WCL block a few weeks ago. Maybe TWC is testing out a possible schedule change? :dunno:

This happened about a month ago also. My guide said there was long form at 1am for one night only.But I don't know why they'll ditch weather center live at 1am. :dunno: I doubt it's part of a schedule change but I could be wrong? Could they just replay the 10pm ET Weather Center Live? That's what they do for :10, :20, :40, :50 past the hour

Here's the answer for why there was no WLC Thursday at 1am.
Danielle Banks - They were doing some maintenance. It was a last minute thing. Originally, they were going to do the maintenance on Thursday.
-
No WCL at 1AM ET, same time as last week. I guess TWC must be doing maintenance work again. :dunno:

If I'm the last one to notice this, sorry but, I saw on Morning Rush this morning the words GFC are gone from the GFC. How come? Because of the new changes?
-
GFC was removed from the wall when they updated them for the tropical season in August.
-
Fairly long close for WUWA at 6:57 ET I wish they wouldn't have them talk when they have time left over because WUWA's theme music is great!
-
I don't mind the WUWA music as much as I do the Morning Rush programming music. The stuff they play for Morning Rush doesn't even sound like production music, but more like disgusting heavy metal/alternative noise. I wish they would bring back any of the YWT production used anytime between 2000-2011.

The Title came on eventually. There was no WV Title at the end of the 6:00AM EST hour. Right now, no WV Title, and the LDL is in late and out early. I wonder if the testing is starting?
-
To be honest, I kind of like the LDL going out early.. but the title missing is strange.. Maybe they are testing something I guess we just don't really know. :dunno: :unsure:
-
Interesting the animated show promos are still running in the LDL area going to break yet they can't get the show logo and mini ads to display on the bottom left.
On the SD feed the show logo and ads are still playing on the bottom left of the LDL.
As of 10:53am they have the logo area back. The timing is still a bit off and going to break at 10:57am the LDL area show promo did not display.
Something else I wanted to note,
in recent weeks with OCM's out in the field reporting, at weather conferences or on vacation, TWC has had to move people around to fill in.
Chris has subbed for Mike on AM Rush.
Julie has been doing First Forecast.
Alex Wilson was on with Jen this AM 7am-11am.
Kim and Nick are on 11am-2pm this weekend.
Last weekend they had Warren and Keith 11am-2pm and Kim and Ryan 7pm and 10pm.
-
According to Titan TV TWC is doing a Super Storm Sandy special 5am-2pm.
There's a rebroadcast 5pm-8pm. WCL is back at 10pm.
-
Funny blooper at 7:05 WCL.. They went to a live image of Boston to lead in to the forecast for world series game 6.. but the TruVuMAX computer wasn't being taken as the source.. so then eventually they faded to another Max source.. the one that Chris wasn't assigned to with his remote... wow.. catalouge of errors there..
-
Nick just said TWC is going to be live all afternoon into the evening due to the severe weather.
-
Don't know why WCL is still showing this late (been on for at least 1 1/2 hr). Trying to burn off OCM time in advance of schedule changes?

It now has a name, and the name is Boreas. Something tells me TWC will try hard to make up for having only a few named tropical storms.
-
Why bother naming storms if you don't bother to do live shows 2pm to 4:30am on weekends.
If the storm is that important to name why is there no live coverage after 2pm?
According to the guide listings Thursday and Friday TWC is done at 2pm ET.
I understand Thursday. Friday they should be doing a regular schedule.
Update: Maria just said TWC is extending live coverage today due to the winter storm.
-
"On TV, The Weather Channel is pre-empting all scheduled programs to bring live coverage of Winter Storm Boreas from 4 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday."
-
Interesting. I was expecting some extended coverage though not as much as they have decided to do.
The only other question is if they are still planning to stay on tape 2pm-4am Thursday and Friday?

Boreas should stay forever!

My Charter TV guide says WCL at 7PM and 10PM PT this Monday, and it also says WCL at 1PM, 4PM, 7PM and 10PM PT the previous day, Sunday.
-
Titan TV has WCL Live at these times starting this coming Sunday, zap2it has it starting next Sunday (Dec 8).
-
Good. My guide says it to. That was way too much longform.
-
Titan is using old guide data the show names for Monday are the old names.
There are no live shows at 7pm, 10pm or 1am according to http://tvlistings.zap2it.com/ (http://tvlistings.zap2it.com/)
-
But zap2it has WCL at 10PM and 1AM EST every evening, and some live programming throughout the day Sunday starting December 8.
-
My Comcast TV Guide updated and WCL 10pm/1am ET were removed and replaced by long-form. I believe TWC just forgot to update there TV Listings.

They need to add the LDL city's temp to the ticker.
-
I don't like how the time sits on top of the logo during long form on the IS SD and agree it should be the time and temp together.
The time and temp should be placed on the right side of the screen.
Also on our IS the time is not centered with the logo and to far right.

Y'all know, on the SD feed, what the heck is the point in even having the blue bar if the LDL is transparent, and satellite viewers don't get weather? That makes no sense, and it's false advertising on TWC's part... :rolleyes: It's supposed to be weather all the time, yet it's clearly not for those with satellite... <_<

There's only so much they can do with the technical limitations involved. Especially on the HD feed, there's no way to have a transparent LDL for the Stars if there's already a transparent national forecast there.
-
The LDL still remains blank (during long-form and commercials) on the HD feed for those who don't have the IS2 and only the national forecast. I'm a bit perplexed as to why after almost a month this is still the case. :dunno: It's like Zach said, it's false advertising, not that I'm all that surprised. :itsok:

I don't think it's false advertising. The whole premise of The Weather Channel's local forecasts since the very beginning was for cable headends to use Stars. The system was designed before there even was direct to home satellite television, and because of the technical limitations of satellite as opposed to cable, there's just no way to get localized information to satellite viewers unless each individual satellite receiver becomes capable of being an IntelliStar in miniature. (The best that the receivers can do right now doesn't even come close.)
The only way longform programming could have a satellite feed LDL is to make the whole LDL non-transparent. SD viewers are stuck with that, but that's because of aspect ratios, and it actually makes good use of what would otherwise be empty space on the screen. But HD is where the television industry does and should focus their attention, and I can fully understand why a non-transparent LDL on the screen during longform all the time isn't something that TWC wants.
A claim of false advertising would have to mean that The Weather Channel deliberately deceived viewers by promising weather all the time but failed to deliver on that and knowing that they wouldn't be able to do so in the first place. Keeping in mind that The Weather Channel was designed for cable, and keeping in mind that satellite has different technical parameters that prevents the use of localization, TWC is keeping its promise. It's not up to them to redesign the whole way direct to home satellite television works, and it's not up to them to design satellite receivers with their own Stars. Localization does not work with satellite... unless TWC wants to broadcast a unique feed for every single Star location in the country. They'd need their own fleet of satellites to do that.
-
I have a question for those who have the IS2, should TWC have kept the previous version or do you like the current version?

The whole premise of Weather All The Time is that it's "Weather All The Time" regardless of whether it's local or national weather. My point was they aren't even showing national weather during long form programming or the commercials when those shows are on. That would technically be where the false advertising comes into play if they aren't even providing viewers with that.
I never said anything about it's false advertising because they aren't providing local information for those who have Satellite or those who have HD and no IS2 so I'm not sure where that's coming from. In fact, my statement was strictly talking about viewers who have HD, but no IS2. It had nothing to do with Satellite viewers because I have no idea what those viewers are seeing anyway (unless I saw an image or video).
-
Satellite viewers see nothing on HD during long form, and a blank LDL on SD during long-form.

As I already said, from the first day TWC was designed for cable TV, not for satellite. It airs on satellite to gain more of an audience, but the local forecast segments just can't be configured for direct to home satellite television.

I really don't think you're understanding what I've been saying since the beginning. I NEVER said local forecasts should be shown/programmed on the HD LDL or Satellite LDL. I don't know why you keep reinventing an argument I never made in the first place. I don't have satellite, I have cable, but I also have an HD feed that's never had an IS2 and has always showed national weather. The point of both the original and last post I made was over the fact that we're not even getting national weather except only during live programming.
Also, there's no "technological limitations" to displaying national weather on a HD national LDL. They do it during live programming/commercials, they can certainly do it during non- live programming point, blank, and simple.
EDIT: That fact that I've explained my statement clearly three times already has gotten very repetitive, we're just going in circles so I'll leave as it is after this.

The general consensus in this forum is that I am generally wrong. Full stop.

As has been pointed out previously, because of the current design of the transparent LDL during longform, there can be no national LDL at the same time, because then the local LDL would be put on top of the national LDL, making it mostly unreadable. Obviously TWC would rather use the transparent LDL for those who have the HD intellistar and not cater to those who don't, instead of considering a non-transparent LDL during longform.
-
The general consensus in this forum is that I am generally wrong. Full stop.
You put those words in your own mouth, I never said you were wrong. In fact if the transparent LDL was the "technical limitations" you were alluding to in your post, then clearly I was wrong. I wasn't aware something as simple as the transparent LDL would be the issue for the absent national weather info. Obviously I was ignorant to how/why they chose to do this.
-
Before everyone gets all hot under the collar about a f**king information bar, could you all please just shut up and consider the fact that maybe, just maybe the engineers at TWC who make it their job to design and run this stuff are working on it? I know...it's a novel idea. The arguments y'all front sometimes are just so pathetic. Some of you really need to take a step back occasionally and realize....you're getting worked up over a cable television network's info bar. Perspective, please.

The whole thing was partly a misunderstanding on my part. No offense, but it seems like you're one getting all worked up about something that blew over two days ago.
The exchange that occurred between me and Eric is fairly tame compared to some of the other pointless stuff that's been argued or spatted over the past couple of years on this forum.
-
I think all of you should take a step back and breathe here. From my point of view, I'm not wild about the "Weather All The Time" slogan as I've seen multiple occasions where I don't see any weather information during long-form programming, and I have HD without the IS2. Hopefully, this problem should be eased as more work is pushed forward by TWC and the respective cable companies.
The reality is that if you want weather all the time, the internet is the only choice. I don't ever see TWC being able to fully honor that commitment even when they modify the LDL and make improvements, and I'm sure there will be further updates just like we've seen in every relaunch in the past. At least it's somewhat better now for people in larger populations to get local weather, but I personally have moved on to better sources. So, let's please move on to another thought, Eric, Max, and Tavores. ;)

I'm starting to think that dual feed may be a legend as every time they had extended, it's been national as I have DISH.
As for Extended more often, this may be crazy but, is it easier to get extended approved by TWC's bosses than normal Live PM shows?

They used to have it. I remember a couple years ago being at a place that had Cablevision and FiOS.
Cablevision's TWC's SD feed had storm coverage while the FiOS TWC SD feed had long form programming.

So is this all night no weather coverage or periodically checking in? Because if it's all night coverage that will suck. Although I wouldn't doubt it because TWC is owned by NBC which of course is also holding the super bowl. At least I think?

While talking to Al and Stephanie Sam said that they are building a new set for the AM show.
I'm wondering what space that is going to be?
The only other large studio space if I'm correct is 1C which they only seem to use when there is work being done on the HD studio.

I flipped to TWC, and I see they're reporting weather for US Territories and select Int'l cities on the LDL ticker (92 at Rio, wish I could be there now). Since when did they do that? :huh:

I know we can't satisfy everyone, but I feel that TWC is now "over-doing" Storm Mode. I don't mind the extra coverage, but do the black and red colors and the special music really need to be used? I mean, come on.

Sadly because it's in the Northeast :( if this was happening in the Midwest or Great Plains they would have longform on.

Just this morning, I was thinking about reality shows and other long form programming. If there is a big weather story, such a a winter storm, hurricane, or severe weather outbreak, TWC will preempt regular programming. I've heard them say "we're sorry we had to preempt Breaking Ice", for example and I am like "don't apologize for that, weather coverage is the way TWC used to be and ought to be!!

I know we can't satisfy everyone, but I feel that TWC is now "over-doing" Storm Mode. I don't mind the extra coverage, but do the black and red colors and the special music really need to be used? I mean, come on.
I've had to deal with sorta the same thing at my station. We report the weather accurately but news tries to make everything into a big deal sending reporters out everywhere, etc. It's just the nature of the business now. Remember these events generate big ratings. Sweeps just started up so you can expect local and cable news networks to go all out these next few weeks on every story.
-
Sadly, the truth of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" is, the townsfolk will come running every single day if the crier is a news reporter.
-
Anyone else just see a test pattern?
-
Now no music on 11:18 LF, following a green screen
-
11:20 segment begins with no audio, comes back in the middle of Tom's forecast
-
Any announced plans to do extended live coverage this week for Winter Storm Pax?
-
Saturday I believe there was no extended live coverage and TWC went to reality shows at 2pm.
Today TWC was live 4:30am-2pm and they are back live 5pm-9pm.
"Kim Cunningham - Join me and Nick Walker 5-9pm live tonight with updates on Winter Storms Orion and now Pax! Winter storm watches up for the south again!!"

Ok, thanks.
Good call, it could be worse conditions for some Southern cities compared to 2 weeks ago. They should definitely be covering it not just today, but hopefully all week.
-
TWC still doing segments on how and why they name winter storms.
If they still have to explain how and why it kinda adds the question of it being necessary.
-
Hmm... It looks likes Kim and Paul are in the satellite center for WCL. Must be maintenance in the studio. By the way it's been a little over a month and TWC is live from 4a - 8p straight through. Still the guide hasn't been updated.
-
Watching Raging Nature and the promo on the upper left said, special coverage winter weather, stay tuned in? Maybe dual feed? Maybe they'll preempt? If anyone is seeing special coverage around 10:00 - 10:30 PM on 2/18/14 then this proves they are using it. Although I don't know if they use it or has since the November Relaunch?
-
At 4pm TWC is using a remodeled studio made to appear like the HD studio.
It has the same wood walls and a smaller LCD wall behind the desk.
Anyone know if this is 1C or is that being remodeled for AMHQ?

-
It's amazing to think they're already renovating their main studio after all the work and expense they put into it just a few short months ago.
-
Either they are just doing scheduled maintenance or maybe all that unused empty space in the HD studio is going to be the set for AMHQ?

What is likely happening is that they're using a newly renovated Studio 1C (the one they used in October 2013 when the main studio was remodeling and hasn't be seen since the relaunch) because that studio is very small and compact. The Main Studio is likely undergoing it's 3rd Renovation in 2 years in preparation for Sam Champion's New Show which is set to debut on March 17. Sam Champion posted on his Instagram a picture of what could be the new set after the renovations are completed: http://instagram.com/p/kj4gVSjm9A/# (http://instagram.com/p/kj4gVSjm9A/#)

Has anyone noticed they stopped doing Live Weather Updates on the Weekends during Long Form? Now it's Local on the 8s. Last Time I checked a week or two ago it was usually Kyla or Keith giving a 30 second update.
-
TWC Has Preempted regular Programming (Twist of Fate) for special weather coverage of Florida's severe weather as of 3:00pm Central time
-
Coverage ended at 5 PM. Maybe they went to the dual feed for the area? I was hoping they would go until the warning expired. :cry3: Well At lease they actually preempted for one little warning. Haven't seen that in a while. Either way good job TWC :biggrin:
-
While I'm sure not everybody is happy, i'm impressed to see the strides the network has made to include more weather (when warranted). Whether you agree or disagree with the naming of winter storms, its allowed them to organize and execute more winter weather coverage.
-
Looks like somebody's watch is three hours slow today... :P

It would appear to have more emphasis on rebranding their web and social media presence, vs. the on-air visual experience. Though I do like the slogan.

im not sure if this is the right thread to ask specifically but..
has anyone's weather channel been a blank empty screen nonstop since some point yesterday (even now) ??
i just noticed this all of a sudden here. it's purely nothing here. it's really weird. the screen is black (empty) but the bar at the bottom with the 24/7 local weather works fine, except it's been stuck in a infinite loop with the same tempature and such ever since.
Has this happened to any of you guys too by any chance ??
i seriously wish it was just showing an satellite emergency feed with trammel starks music or something :(

I did happen to see something like this happen yesterday around this exact time (11am). Not sure what causes it.

I'm happy that The Weather Channel is still live from 4am-8pm on the weekdays. :yes:

Slightly updated IS graphics for the upcoming DST switch:

My TV guide isn't showing WCL at either time today but it has been showing WCL from 11AM-2PM PT on weekdays.

Comcast's programming guide has WCL at 2-5pm weekdays, but it doesn't have it listed at 4 & 7 on weekends though.

Is Sunrise Weather back on the air? I noticed on my guide it says it runs from 4:30-7am weekends. :unsure:
WCL is appearing from 11am-8pm weekdays on my guide as well beginning this week.
-
It's probably just incorrect guide data. Titan says WCL 4:30am-7am.
TWC is doing the same thing today. Live 4:30am-2pm then taped programming and back live at 4pm.

I'm pretty sure I heard the original version yesterday.
-
Does anyone know if TWC is providing live coverage of the California tornado warnings? WeatherNation is NOT.
-
I still find it funny TWC remodeled the HD studio and since the additional remodel and start of AMHQ they are not using it for any other live shows.
You can tell during the Atlanta studio segments during Wake Up With Al that the the desk and table they had in the HD studio are not there.
Kelly said it would be a few weeks before WCL is back in the studio.
Now sure why it has to take so long.

This morning on WCL, they're in the studio and the desk is there
-
Glad other shows are returning to the main studio. At 11am they were in the smaller studio C1.
TWC is live at 2pm ET for storm coverage and the video is full screen.
-
Speaking of music.. I found a different vierson of the "brand anthem" with extended cuts of each theme you may have already seen this video, but the audio is a lot better than the one released on vimeo..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlTUFAF-cd0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlTUFAF-cd0)
-
TWC did break-in during the 8pm ET hour to cover some Tornado Warnings but returned to Long-Form at 9pm ET.
-
I was just going to ask if they did go live. Noticed the TWC alerts on Twitter at 8:30pm and when I checked TWC Prospectors was on. It appears they went live again at 9:30pm ET
-
An inside source at TWC tells me that they will be live through at least midnight due to severe storms.
-
TWC is in Storm Alert and is live all night.
7pm-11pm, they used the main studio
Since 11pm, they are using Studio 1C.
It looks like they are using different studios for different shifts/shows now. Previously, all shows (outside of WUWA) used the Main HD Studio.

Looks like they move to 1C when there's a shift change, so the next crew can come in and rehearse.
My guess is the move to 1C would allow AMHQ to rehearse as normal in the main studio.
-
Actually I don't get why they don't use the main studio for all WCL shifts.
They have between 5:30am-7am to have the main studio ready for AMHQ and 10am-11am to be ready for the 11am WCL.
They could use 1C for the live segments while they rest the cams for WCL.

I noticed that a lot of the "It's Amazing Out There" idents are based off of this vimeo video. Thoughts? Thanks :>
*p.s look at my signature for an example.*
Yosemite HD on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/35396305)
-
With all the nature footage that TWC has gathered over the years plus the tons of long-form programming at various locations around the globe, I find it really disappointing that they settle for a video someone else took for these indents if true. Why not use your own recorded footage to promote your product? Just weather footage alone from "Storm Stories" in these indents would do a much better job than what we see now!
-
Mark Elliot at 11pm ET: "Some will continue to see severe weather coverage while others will see "Highway Thru Hell"
Looks like they utilized the Dual-Feed.

Maybe its a free TWC-themed tote bag? Or even a free TWC-themed raincoat? I would love to have that in my collection! :rofl:

About 20 years ago or so I had a TWC-themed weather station mounted on my front porch: rain gauge, thermometer, and a wind vane. Unfortunately, it was made very cheaply and broke by the end of the first year. :cry:

TWC used the alternate feed for live weather coverage on the 14th.
"Kim Cunningham

Good evening! Severe weather and flooding a concern for the South tonight! If you live in LA,MS,AL,TN or GA at 8pm we will be live in your states instead of "Raging Nature" to keep you safe!! Join Kelly Cass Dr. Greg Forbes and me from 8-10!"

It's a darn shame it broke. I still have my Sharper Image weather station/alarm clock that I originally got when it was new in 2004. The only downside of that weather station is that it only has outdoor and indoor thermometer sensors and a built-in 24-36 hour "forecast" feature. No rain gauge, wind vane, or even an almanac. Plus, it was also made in China (no surprises there).

I don't mind the random backgrounds the IS/IS2 has. Its just that every time I hear "Green is Universal", I always think of NBC/Comcast being an non-environmentally friendly company. Big corporations always tend to be non-environmentally friendly.

The Weather Channel free app has been updated. I don't like how there is no menu to directly access sections.
Now you have to swipe down to other sections of the app and then swipe up to go back.

How come when sometimes TWC is covering severe t-storms with tornadoes (like what's happening right now on the east coast) they don't activate Storm Alert mode? :dunno:
-
Good question. I don't get it either what determines when they turn the storm mode graphics on.
If they are on all day to cover storms you would believe they would turn the storm graphics on.
TWC is running a video today with Mike Bettes talking about the changes they are making to their storm chasing to be safer during storms.
-

One thing I find interesting is they mention they are in "storm mode" or even yesterday they said "we have gone all red", and they use the black and red graphics in the background, yet they don't change the graphics on screen to the black and red.
-
TWC is officially in Storm Alert this morning
-
This minor glitch, well I guess it's a glitch kinda annoys me. When a weather bulletin is being shown on the LDL, I noticed that it cuts off what the specific weather bulletin is and starts with the word "in". So basically it wipes in incorrectly, then a second or two later it reanimates back in correctly.
ex of the first time: "in effect from Monday evening to Wednesday evening."
ex of the second time: "A Flood Watch is in effect from Monday evening to Wednesday evening."
Again, it's minor, but it still annoys me because you would think it would have been fixed by now. It's been doing this since the rebranding last year.
-
TWC is now streaming live coverage. For some reason the lower thirds and "breaking now" graphic are not on the live stream feed. Maybe they are just broadcasting the output and not the viz with the scrolling ticker?

TWC has gone live in all areas for storm coverage. Kim and Nick are on.
The video is full screen and the show that would have been on still has its logo on the bottom right.
TWC went to long form at 8pm while storms are still active.
Friend in KS not getting storm coverage on TWC.
TWC is back live at 8:30pm in storm areas.
Guessing from this tweet those who don't have the IS2 on TWC HD do not get the live coverage,

My are is in the Storm area, and the ldl is on "Red Mode". I checked my is2 and it is not in "Red Mode".
EDIT: No Red Mode production Music is played during LOT8s.

Dual-Feed Coverage Has ended at 10:00pm Central

The Weather Channel is running promos that they are doing storm coverage all day.
Graphics are not in storm mode.

As of 3 PM EST they are using a slightly different cut of the alert music for the WCL open.
They are also using a different "severe weather central" bumper that I've never seen used before (Yellow lightning strike)
Also intresting to note: During the 2:47 commercial break, I had no LDL and I could see the teleprompter feed on the very bottom of commercials that didn't fit the screen. I don't undestand how that's even possible. Happen to anyone else? :thinking: :blink:
-

Wow, that's weird, but I remember once during WCL, the news ticker stopped working then faded out to gray.
-
They switched to red radar icon and "Severe Storm Central" name. The "Central" is a lighter blue on the TV in the GFC.
In the studio it is more of a light gray "Central" on that TV.

They turned the lighting behind Jim and Mark red during the middle of that live cross as well, (in between MAX full screens)
Also as of 10:10 EST they are using the red bumper\transition with a very 'digital' sounding bumper. What are they doing?
-
At 10:20PM ET, the National HD LDL turned red but it turned blue when it went into commercial. The Intellistar LDL remains blue. The LOT8s was still playing Vocals so I don't know what is going on.
At 10:50PM ET, the IS LDL turns red as well as the National HD LDL during Commercials but still no Storm Alert Music on LOT8s and the WCL logo remains blue.
-
the LDL bar is now black with red TWC logo, but no "Storm Alert" music just yet on TWC. but on the live coverage, the "Weather Center Live" logo and the "Live" graphic are blue while studio is in "Red Mode" we are on semi-storm alert but not full blown until the rest of the graphics go red and storm alert theme is playing during LOT8s, which i'm sure might happen as soon as midnight eastern/11 PM my time.
-
back to blue LDL as they go to break, ether they are having issues or are depending on the dual feed technology.
-
TWC either went to dual-feed coverage or stopped coverage completely as of 12 AM ET/11 PM CT as Highway Through Hell came on. I only watched for about half an hour but up until that point the LDL was blue not red and no LOT8s were being shown (though they had plenty of time for a nice long commercial break. <_< )

Is it just me or do the "new" WUWAL graphics look TERRIBLE? It's like they are taking HD stock footage and compressing it down to 4:3 and then letter boxing it. It looks horrid. How long have they been doing this? :thumbdown:

well, The Weather Channel is in the news for all the wrong reasons after a tweet from a ticked Fort Worth, TX City councilman. Fort Worth Concilman Joel Burns complained that The Weather Channel app used a photo of Dallas instead of Fort Worth and deleted the app. however, TWC's twitter said this: "@JoelBurns Sorry to see you go. Good luck on ending bullying."
it caused a public outcry locally and more people are standing up and deleting the app in support of Councilman Burns, who is activist in the war on bullying as in he is against it.
The Weather Channel later posted an apology on twitter:
"@JoelBurns we apologize for our reply this morning. Our response was inappropriate & we're taking steps to ensure it doesn't happen again."
in fact, it's making the rounds on all the local news sites here in the DFW area, here's the story from WFAA, the local ABC station here in the DFW Metroplex:

All of The Weather Channel's graphics look terrible, in my opinion. I don't get why they think flat graphics look better.
-
i see on Dish's feed of TWC on 214, the HD version has the LDL bar missing with the words and icons and number and bells and whistles of the LDL bar on. something tells me the LDL is glitched up as they went to "red mode" due to the wildfires in So Cal and another severe thunderstorm outbreak.
also on the SD feed, red TWC logo and blue LDL bar.
and LOT8s is still playing the normal rotation instead of the Storm Alert theme.
Edit: and as of 8 PM CDT , they went to regularly scheduled program, with the LDL bar glitch is on the HD feed
second and final edit: as of 8:15 PM CDT, the LDL bar is gone from HD feed and the SD LDL bar is back to the just blue with no info at the bottom.
-
Minor graphic change: The Severe Weather Central has changed from red to yellow.
-
TWC pre-empted the 8 PM Eastern/7 PM Central hour of Highway Through Hell. They seemed to focus more on the flooding in the Northeast than the severe thunderstorm or tornado warnings elsewhere and also catered to Denver a lot, which confused me because there was nothing but a few scattered storms there! Anyway, it was also strange because the long-form WAAT was being used instead of the traditional sidebar and LDL.

Maybe TWC really does take weather seriously now :bleh: surprisingly the only warnings that are severe or tornadic is in rural texas.
-
Noticed that TWC is back to using the main studio for WCL 11am-2pm.
Studio 1C is only used for the 4am WCL.

Dang it DirecTV! Why did you reach a new agreement in the first place?! I KNEW this was eventually going to happen! :wall:
DirecTV was so close on toppling TWC like what they previously did with G4. TWC is like the "new" G4. :angry:
-
The link Adrian provided no longer exists. However, for those of you wondering, TWC was going to air game show segments hosted by Al Roker. From what it sounded like though, these would only be segments and not like an entire long-form slot, but I'm not sure. Wonder why the article disappeared so fast?

Will the IS2 now have a Game Show jokes during the locals now? :bleh:
-
I don't know what's wrong with the SD feed here, but all I'm seeing is a black screen with the LDL overlayed on top of it. The HD feed is fine though.
-
Are they able to determine in the TWC ratings for shows what are actually are coming from the people getting the main feed and people getting storm coverage on the alternate feed?
Have to believe there are may people in the mid west getting storm coverage and not the non weather reality shows.

Does the so-called "dual-feed" really exist? Or is it just a myth? :dunno: I wish TWC would just show coverage like they should instead of making a decision to pre-empt programming only in certain areas.
-
The OCMs have posted when TWC is doing live regional storm coverage.
-
There supposedly is a dual-feed for TWC viewers that have cable in an area that severe weather is occurring, but what about the many viewers that have satellite? Since those customers don't see local STARs unlike cable subscribers, I assume they're unable to receive the severe weather coverage. This dual-feed system definitely has some big flaws.

Not only do they need to have cable, but they need to have access to an IntelliStar and hope that the IntelliStar is properly configured to receive the proper dual feed signal.
You're right - the dual feed has serious issues. I have no idea what the proportion is, but it would be interesting to know what percentage of TWC's viewers watch on satellite, or subscribe to a cable company that doesn't have Stars to begin with (is AT&T's one of them?), or have a Star that isn't an IntelliStar.
I can understand the rationale behind the dual feed: relevant breaking weather information gets sent to those who need to watch it while everyone else isn't "interrupted" with news about what isn't happening to them. That said, there are actually plenty of people watching TWC who want to see news about severe weather, regardless of where it's happening. And, given the very strict technical requirements for successfully getting a dual feed to the right audience, there are certainly plenty of people in an area receiving a dual feed at any given time who just aren't able to watch it, period.
-
Just got word TWC is evaluating it's local forecast, as a main focus. Hopefully the graphics will get better. Maybe TWC is starting to care again?
Thank you for your email. We are in the process of evaluating all aspects of our local product, including the music. All of this is a part of our goal of delivering the most enjoyable and informative product for the largest number of viewers. We appreciate your reaching out and I will pass your feedback on to my colleagues.
Thanks for watching.

DirecTV and Dish might as well use the IntelliStar severe weather feed nationally more often (even if your area isn't affected by severe weather). Because that Dish's "master headend" is in Colorado and DirecTV's is in California, that is one of the only downsides of watching TWC on satellite since both satellite providers are only capable of beaming the satellite signal from outer space and back down to Earth to each one of their subscribers that have their satellites installed.
In fact, that was one of the main reasons why Dish previously dropped them for four days back in May 2010 (besides the retransmission fee increase, plus the failed "Flick & a Forecast" campaign and other longform programing). That's also what DirecTV did earlier this year until April (also having to do with both retransmission fee increases and longform programing). Either way, neither satellite providers are capable of providing with their own localized IS/IS2 or even localized EAS alerts whenever severe weather occurs in your area. Ironically, I once saw a "local" EAS alert on DirecTV that came all the way down in Los Angeles. Yet, I don't even live down there and other DirecTV subscribers outside of L.A. could of seen that same EAS nationally too. Dish also could of done it if a local Denver-based EAS would of happened and also of their subscribers could of seen it nationally too (except DirecTV of course).
Either way, neither satellite provider is prefect when it comes to TWC or even EAS alerts.

TWC in Storm Alert as of 4pm ET
-
yes, i noticed they are on storm alert mode, but this time, they didn't half :censored: it, they got the full black LDL bar with red TWC logo and storm alert music during LOT8s
-
They are playing a very extended cut of the alert music under the segments which sounds really nice.
-
yes, i noticed they are on storm alert mode, but this time, they didn't half :censored: it, they got the full black LDL bar with red TWC logo and storm alert music during LOT8s
For tonight, they did ":censored: it" with the Red WCL Logo and Red Lower 3rds while the LDL remains blue and the LOT8s are not playing storm alertm usic
-
Are you sure that the red ldl isn't local? Because I remember being home and seeing it grey with red logo.
-
PLEASE
tell me someone recorded the extended WCL music cut at 9:05 am?
-
The Weather Channel has preempted long form for live coverage of severe weather as of 4:00pm central time
-
Severe weather coverage has ended at 5:00pm central.
-
Why is long form on early today????? They can't wait until 2 Eastern? ?????
-
Anyone else's LDL Only showing the clock during WCL-AMHQ-WUWA? My longform ldl is working ok, but the Normal LDL Is only showing the clock with the scrolling temperature and national ldl.
-
Noticed today TWC is doing the storm specialists segments from the expert area in the studio instead of the GFC.
-
AMHQ today is seeming to have some minor play out issues. I noticed some frozen animations\ hard cuts in the wall graphics and such. Only the main full screen\viz lower thirds look fine. Thoughts?
-
TWC was doing extended overage nationwide with Mark and Dr. Forbes in the smaller studio Wednesday.
I noticed today they took the desk out of the smaller studio 1c and turned it into a expert area.

He's been a reporter for TWC for a good bit now. Also this is my 100th post on these forms :dance:

Interesting..is it for some sort of relaunch?
-
TWC is Livestreaming Coverage as of 8:15 PM.
Live: Tornadoes On The Ground (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtFOvJe2JsM#ws)
Also I believe they are using dual feed? Because I have a blank LDL with the weather channel logo and no data, continuing to see their coverage.

TWC has preempted Long-From during the 8pm ET Hour. However, the video in the HD Feed is Full Screen. Why can't they display the LDL/HD Sidebar?
-
Intresting. For the 8EST hour my LDL has just been blank. (on the SD channel, my HD feed is just black..been like that for while.)
-
Before I report this, I'm curious if anyone else is having this issue. On the SD feed of TWC there is once again no video feed only a LDL overlayed on screen. The only time video is shown is when the local forecast is airing, in addition, no audio is present during the local forecast except the narration. On the HD feed meanwhile, everything is fine from the audio to the video feed.

Looks like they are in fact haveing major VIZ problems..

It might be a sun outage causing the IS to lose the feed, but still be able to cue the LOT8s. My sd feed has been fine all day. Or maybe your IS is just not able to handle the feed.
-
I had a similar issue for about 6 hours a few days ago but not even the LF was airing, just a black screen and LDL for 6 straight hours. It was finally fixed but still would cut in and out every few seconds.

It's definitely not related to sun outages. Those only occur in early March and late September.

It can't be "rain fade", isn't?

Do Abrams and Bettes still host together at all? Only asking since I haven't watched mornings in forever.
-
I noticed that my Xfinity headend now shows the HD feed letterboxed on the SD channel. I don't know when they made the change.

Yes they both do the show from NYC.

My HD headend hasn't done that yet, my guess TWC/Xfinity just started doing that in some areas and will slowly switch it in the next few months.
-
Anyone notice that Some commercials that air on TWC, mostly Walmart's have an echo on them? Anyone else getting this?

this happened almost 20 minutes ago.

It has nothing to do with cameras. The Star just lost the satellite feed. Instead of showing just black, Stars have shown green instead for as long as I can remember. Heck, I even remember the WeatherStar III doing that back in the 1980s.
-

That looks a lot like the green screen on my WeatherSTAR Junior unit, except since mine is decommissioned, it doesn't show any info on the LDL.

I remember a long time ago when our local WeatherStar III went into "rainbow mode." Due to whatever technical problem, it showed the LDL on the usual dark blue background, but the rest of the screen had no text and cycled between every available color on the machine: the usual dark blue, grey, brown, and red, plus other colors The Weather Channel never used: light blue (like The Weather Network used), yellow, green... It was interesting to watch, though disturbing at the same time because I was only getting the audio portion of the programming.

I thought that was a chromo key wall without any weather maps displayed and no one was there. Never knew the IS2 could do that whenever it loses its satellite signal. :dunno:
-
Yep. Believe it or not, green is the "loss of feed" image one sees. Once upon a time The Weather Channel used blue chroma key walls instead, but we still saw green during a malfunction, since the green is computer-generated and has nothing to do with cameras.
-

Everything on TWC seems to have an echo. I wonder if TWC purposely did that with their audio system or something? There are some radio stations here that are like that too.
-
TWC has extended WCL into the afternoon though they are not using storm mode graphics.

I'm not sure but I think new maps are coming. A few minutes ago I saw them using a colorful, awesome map for tracking the possible tropical storm or hurricane off the coast of south Carolina. Here's a picture of it:

TWC has preempted long-form as of 8pm ET due to severe weather.
TWC was running the promo about preempting regularly schedule programming so I believe they planned to be live to at least 11pm.
In the 11pm hour the video is full screen on the national HD feed so I'm guessing the is extra coverage in place of long form shows.

From the way I saw it, TWC planned to go to Catching Hell but pre-empted at the last second. I have no problem with showing more weather, but they really need to use the squeezeback like normal for these situations. The translucent LDL on-screen makes it look kind of cluttered and it can at times obscure graphics (such as chyrons).
-
Good, many people (myself included) like the topographic maps better than the plain gray maps.

Sorry about the image, it looked blurry so I changed it.
Anyway, even if these were the old maps, they still look better than the ones now. I also like how the water is animated to show waves. See, I like these kind of maps where there is a "real" feel to it. The plain white maps just didn't do well for me.

TWC has a lot to talk about. Not only is there severe weather, there's also a new Tropical Depression in the Atlantic. Glad to decided to pre-empt. Also it looks like locals have been discontinued at this point in time.
-
That map looks like an error to me. Doubt they're going back to topographic maps at this point.
-
I had to roll my eyes this evening at some stuff I was seeing with Nick Walker. He was trying to show the Tropical Update this evening (prior to the TD 1A upgrade late) and every satellite animation he used had incomplete and missing images, to the point where it completely failed on the second runthrough.
I don't think I have seen that much trouble with the computers since the power surge a few years ago.
-
As of 11:30 AM they are using the current information for TS Arthur in the bottom left hand corner in place of the WCL logo.
-
TWC is preempting Primetime Longform. I won't be surprise if they preempt the extended longform on the 4th of July due to TS Arthur.

Time for TWC to play "cover up" and let their ratings soar. We, of course, go through this every year and like I say every year, I just wish TWC would treat all weather events equally. In my opinion, a tornado outbreak (or even just a few warnings) is just as significant as a hurricane. You're The Weather Channel, not The Hurricane Channel.

I just noticed Comcast/Xfinity updated their programming guide for TWC to say, "Breaking/Tracking Arthur" from 5am today to 5am Friday morning.
-
TWC Has entered "Red Mode" with the LF Playing the storm alert music, but the LDL and sidebar are still blue.
-
The FiOS guide shows TWC live to 2pm Friday though if the storm is still active I doubt they would go to long form programming.
-
Arthur Coverage ended as of yesterday.
-
TWC is preempting for live coverage in the mid atlantic and north east however I have no live coverage on FiOS for the NYC area.

The Weather Channel is notorious for reusing stock footage from any given time at all. Examples include Cheryl Lemke in the 2003-2005 Weekend Planner Intro, which was originally used in 1998/99, and the guy shoveling snow in the Winter 2003-05 Afternoon Outlook intro being reused in a late 2009/early 2010 Weekend View LOT8s opener.

I noticed that today the intellistar cuing seems to be very off (3 seconds at least). Happening for anyone else? Know it can be a local thing\national thing so thought I would ask.

I notice that TWC has better coverage for the typhoon in the WPac than Hurricane Arthur that actually made landfall in the US.

I think it's local, because it hasn't been happening to me lately. Only happens to me during long form.

It's Wake Up with Al 5th anniversary this week.

Are you sure, IIRC they just kept talking about Arthur on every show, and even made the Lower thirds show Arthur on the radar, and didn't show anything else but Arthur, unless severe weather was happening.

They finally re-developed a cohesive graphic design language for broadcast, web, and mobile. Nine months ago. They're not throwing that out yet, not a chance. Especially not after the capital they likely sank into it. Tweaks? Sure. Overarching new design language? Not a chance. And the idea that they'd revert to a four year old graphics package is laughable.

Judging from that page, it looks like it will be tweaking what already exists as opposed to a whole relaunch. Time will tell...

Just noticed these icons on the Xfinity X1 TWC Weather app! :thrilled:

TWC pres via Twitter:
"@daveclark: U may notice more detailed/precise maps on @weatherchannel today. 1st of many computer+atmospheric science driven leaps fwd happening here."

Those icons look very similar (they may even be the same set) as what was on weather.com right before the November 2013 relaunch ... before the icons became extremely simplified.

Xfinity and TWC are like best buds now. :p

Remember back in April of this year when TWC gave out an "apology" for all of the DirecTV subscribers during the dispute earlier this year? Well, you won't believe what I got in the mail today... (56K modem warning)

It looks like that TWC was kind enough to give me this free autograph of Jim Cantore. That was nice of them! It turns out that the freebie they were giving away was an "apology" letter for all of the DirecTV subscribers that were effected during the four month dispute. Either way, I can't wait to frame this! :dance:
-
For some strange reason, Sam Champion is on TWC right now, anchoring the 7pm hour of the hurricane Iselle coverage. Bryan Norcross is co-anchoring with Sam. Kelly Cass and Paul Goodloe are also in studio while Cantore reports from Hawaii. TWC will be live all night covering the hurricanes headed towards Hawaii.
-
TWC is in Storm Alert as of 9am ET.
-
I don't get why the LDL is still blue despite TWC being in Storm Alert mode with the SA music playing during LFs. :unsure:
-
If there's one thing i've learned, is that storm mode is never complete. I've never seen a storm alert mode that was completely one color.

Noticed these interesting maps this morning during the "National Park forecast" this morning on WCL.

Looks like they updated the rundown in the sidebar today.

What about the Walker/Brown pairing back when they did the daytime WeatherCenter broadcasts? I always thought that pairing was another good one too. Some of the other best parings I could think of in the past, Schwartz/Andrews (from around 2006-07 or so that eventually led up to Bob Stokes' firing) and previously with Seese/Tesch back in the early years of Your Weather Today (now Morning Rush). I miss some of those past personalities and parings.

Carl Parker and Jennifer Lopez was another great pairing on PM Edition several years back.

If this show is categorized as Sports, then why the heck is it on The Weather Channel? :rolleyes:

Because sports often take place outdoors in the weather?
Sorry... that's the best I could come up with, and even that's very flimsy, albeit accurate.
-
I like the concept/idea of the Weather Lab, but my only complaint is over how the lab looks too cluttered to me with all those monitors/boards. I don't know if some of them are just there for props or they are being legibly used on/off air.

just did the Weather.com Survey and it teased a 15 day forecast.

When I was looking at the IS2 Jr in Grand Coulee, WA earlier this afternoon, I noticed on the LDL that none of the cities are local. For example, one city, Yakima, is nowhere near Grand Coulee, but rather about 150 miles away. The closest city on the LDL is Moses Lake, which is only about 75 miles away from Grand Coulee. I guess the local Charter headend didn't realize that there are a few towns much closer to the area than the aforementioned towns plus Ellensburg (about 120 miles away) that they could have used on the LDL instead. :dunno:

I know this has been talked about before, but I'm surprised a commercial promoting an NBC Universal channel is being shown on a FOX-owned network.
-
ive seen that promo several times on my cable system, it does it when it shows the local cable providers own ads. happens on a lot of the channels. it does the same promo stuff for other channels like hdnet, axstv, espn, sec network... i even saw an older local on the 8s ad from the intellistar 2 before its weather all the time upgrade, during the time the update already took place. apparently somebody likes showing older adverts!

Oh, that's right. I forgot that Cable Companies often like to throw in their own ads from time-to-time. It can be annoying on TWC because then it disrupts the WAAT.

I was told by Freddy Flaxman on Twitter the IS2 is getting new features early September.

They had stopped using studio 1C when it became the temporary expert area as TWC was remodeling the Global Forecast Center into The Lab.

I had been wondering when the full studio would be in use by AMHQ and WCL.

In a world where music rights are skyrocketing I think production music is the cheapest solution in order to still provide local on the 8s. Just my opinion but I think it's lucky the brand (local on the 8s) has survived this long.

TWC will be live all night with coverage of the potential flooding in the southwest. However, based on what Chris and Kelly just said it sounds like it will be dual feed. So, those of us who don't live in the west will be treated to reruns of "Weather Caught On Camera" and "Fat Guys in the Woods." Thank goodness! I really didn't want to miss that! :rolleyes: :rofl2:

Lots of errors have been happening on today's episode of AMHQ, like on the first Lot8s a emergency LF appeared, then after another LOT8s with a Silent LF, the AMHQ feed was showing a chair with as ScoreCast behind it, then a frozen Lowe's commercial

They are doing some playout system software updates today, could be the cause of it.

Since when was "Talk Like A Pirate Day" a real holiday? :rolleyes:

No if only Jim had the time to re record his lines in pirate voice.
"Arrr, this be the weather in our area"
That would just be brilliant :rofl2:

Considering they seem to do "fun" holidays on the LOT8s these days, I'd say 9/11 is anything but.

Noticed the LF's today are showing Oktoberfest
-
Looks like every holiday that is included on the "Holiday Countdown" wheel on the sidebar will have a special LF-decorated background. Not sure why they include both real ones (like Fourth of July, Christmas, Thanksgiving) and other questionable ones (like Friday the 13th and Intl Talk Like a Pirate Day). The Pirate Day one really gets me. I mean, every day has a National Something tied to it. What makes Pirate Day so special? :rolleyes: I feel like TWC is trying to be a little too cute. There comes a point when the cute attempts trump professionalism. This, I feel, is one of those moments.

Yea, 2050 aint too long :happy:
But seriously is that going to be their new logo. I'm not a huge fan of it to be fair...
-
So a logo tweak is soon, huh? Speaking of tweaks, noticed that WCL is no longer using a "plain" background when doing a full screen two-headed shot.

I think those graphics look a lot better than they do now. @SamRichardson92 Hopefully I'm not asking too much but will the next relaunch (most likely November?) include more appealing graphics. Like, is there a chance that terrain on maps could return and graphics have a more shinier appeal to it, like in the WCL Logo background in the picture that @gt1racerlHDl put? Don't tell me what there going to do, just is there a considerable chance? Hopefully that's not too much.

"Many as 40 staffers were cut at Atlanta-based Weather Channel today."
IIRC, two years ago TWC had a round of layoffs around this time as well, laying off OCMs like Adam Berg and Heather Tesch
-
Hmm, kinda surprised to see TWC doing coverage of the severe weather tonight. I guess I can assume this will be continuous the entire night... :thinking:
-
During the 2pm ET hour they were promoting all day and night coverage.
At 12am ET they are still live but they are using the long form format of full screen video and no weather info at the bottom of the national HD feed during commercials.
-
While it's nice to have full screen TWC for the first time in forever, it looks quite bad on HD because the long-form local info is right on top on the WCL logo and the L3s.
SD doesn't have that issue, obviously.
Back to long-form at 1amE/12amC (at least in New Orleans).
-
I just noticed that weather.com just recently updated the bios of their personalities:
http://www.weather.com/tv/tvshows/personalities/main (http://www.weather.com/tv/tvshows/personalities/main)
I noticed that Danielle Banks, Dave Schwartz and Kyla Grogan are still missing from that page.
-
Odd they would update the bio photos and not have all of them ready.
I also don't get why some are looking at the camera and some are not.
They all should be facing the camera.
Danielle mentioned in a FB post she was basically doing radio and weather.com forecasts and would not be on TV much.

Mike Bettes doesn't look to happy.

Pretty sure the original mention was always along of the lines of a refresh - i.e. an update of what we have now, now the top to bottom change that brought the current graphics.
I think some of it is already in place - backgrounds are different during when doing a two-shot (instead of solid, they are moving), the occasional map is not the plain one, L3 font was stretched out (and doesn't look all that great, IMO).
-

That shows many of TWC's problems IMO. The Clickbait which has nothing to do with weather is really damaging the network's credibility. When I went on weather.com today, it seemed like nearly half of the stories had nothing to do with weather. 50 Amazing World Records? 15 Places to see Animals and their Adorable Babies? Photos of Terrified Reactions at Haunted House? It's almost like reading Buzzfeed, only this content is much, much worse. And it's all on the website for The *Weather* Channel. AMHQ is full of the fluffy stories too, and most of them are just not very interesting. I often find myself laughing at the quality of the content on that show. I wonder why the ratings are so poor. ;)

With the severe weather outbreak expected to be underway later today/tonight, live programming will be going on tonight into the overnight.
Probably all day today too. It wouldn't surprise me if they went continuous through at least Tuesday evening, maybe Wednesday since this is a multi-day outbreak. The biggest one of the Fall season so far.
-
TWC went to long form at 2pm ET.
The only extra live coverage today is on the alternate SD feed for areas effected by storms.
Why can't TWC do the alternate feed on the HD channel for those who have the IS2?
They could also stream the regional storm coverage on Weather.com so those who want live storm coverage can watch that instead of long from shows some of which have nothing to do with weather.
-
What's so hard about pre-empting long-form during severe weather? Really, I'd like to know. Is anyone actually interested in seeing the long-form episodes, most of which are reruns?
-
Not me. I keep checking for live storm coverage and since TWC is not showing it nationally I'm not staying on TWC.
-

That's a shame. The SD hasn't been on my cable lineup in, what, a year? They rebroadcast the HD feed in SD resolution, letterboxed in a 4:3 frame, but it's still the HD feed with the IntelliStar 2. I know other members here have said the same thing is happening where they live.
Besides, who wants to watch the SD channel when HD is available?
-
Luckily for me, my Charter headend still has the SD feed but still no IS2 on the HD channel. I certainly hope that Charter doesn't start simulcasting the HD feed onto the SD channel before they get the IS2. :lol: :P
-
That brings up a good point, does TWC realize those who have TV providers where the SD feed is automatically replaced with the HD feed are not getting the regional storm coverage?
Other channels HD such as the MLB Network are able to do an alternate feed regionally so I wonder why TWC does not have that in place?
TWC started national live coverage at 12am ET with Kim and Nick.
-
TWC should drop the alternative feed and provide coverage for everyone. DISH and DTV can't get the alternative feed and longform is painful because there's no WATT! TWC should just get rid of longform! I wish DISH would get WN.
-
my tv guide shows reality programming starting at 2pm ET. Will TWC pre–empt long form today?
-

I wouldn't bet on it.
EDIT: However I just saw one of those commercials advertising "all day and all night" coverage of severe weather.

TWC is officially done and their credibility. They can have their reality shows and AMHQ garbage. I stopped watching a long time ago but would tune in for the severe weather coverage like today. Well today after 5 min I tuned out. The OCM had no idea the town the tornado warning was in but not even the state. And this has happened in the past but let it slide because I though well your mind is trying to get this info out and mistakes happen. Well I'm sorry but it is happening way too often. And it's about how people look on camera and not about the product. I can't even name these awful OCMs. I have to stop living in the past and realize TWC will never be the same and is a lost cause. But it's sad I can't watch what's going on in other parts of the country weather wise or severe weather. Locally I'll gune to my local news during a big storm.
-
Yes TWC has been live since 12am and may be live through the overnight covering the storms.
WCL OCM shifts for all day coverage are usually 11am-3pm. 3pm-7pm, 7pm-11pm and of they stay live 11pm-3am. 3am-5am or 5:30am.
They are not using the storm mode graphics.

Hey, at least TWC is doing their job today and not being taken over by paid programming like another channel!
Back to TWC: Who thought it was a good idea to give TWC the holiday off? I was NOT happy when I saw the schedule this afternoon on my DISH Guide. Granted Severe Weather stepped in(Thank Goodness! No offense to the people in the storm zone. You shouldn't need bad weather in order to watch TWC.)
NOT happy with TWC and WN today!

Yeah, why were they scheduled to have long form start at 2 PM ET like on weekends? Columbus day is hardly a major holiday.

So did TWC finally go live last night (assuming the 12 am you are referring to was 11 PM CDT Sun)? I was quite upset to turn on TWC around 8:30 or 9 PM Sunday night to see long-form when numerous severe thunderstorm warnings were in effect across Texas and Oklahoma. But then again, it's the southern Plains. Had that been happening anywhere east of the Mississippi, especially the Northeast, they would have been in full-blown red mode. :hmm:
-
TWC is irrelevant when it comes to local severe weather coverage. If we had severe weather, that's when I have 6ABC Action News for. Being a national network, TWC can only cover so much
-
TWC seem to be taking a good interest in Typhoon Hudhud, even forecasting it...
Oh well, it seems to be the only exciting weather event right now.
-

Who knows? Maybe viewers may have family there, major weather is covered no matter where it is.
-
I suppose so, It definitely the first non-us weather event I've seen TWC forecasting ;)
-
TWC stopped caring about the viewers a long time ago and it's going to take a big change from management and co.To prove otherwise that they still care. Major weather is not always a priority with TWC believe me I know when several tornados were confirmed to have touched down hit in and around my area a couple of years ago the TWC never gave the coverage it deserved to us that it goes to the south or even sometimes the plains.

So news is more important than a tornado warning? this happened yesterday on WUWA
Al Roker:" We're going to get to that tornado warning that's just west of Washington, DC but i want you to get quickly caught up with this morning's headlines"
I guess you think News headlines are more important than people's lives TWC

That show is very complicated to produce. They have to make sure that the taped parts are taped properly, and if they despensed with the headlines there would have been a gap in playback.

Dumping a taped segment is hardly a chore, having done it numerous times. You fill time on-air with the warning update, advice and analysis.

The warning wouldnt have been relevent for the repeat of the taped show. But I see where you were coming from if the program were absolutely live.

I notice that the current hurricane coverage is using the reverse colored TWC logo that was featured in that WCL from the future show.

Weather Channel Shakeup: Sam Champion's ‘AMHQ’ Senior Executive Producer Being Replaced
The Weather Channel just took a Sharpie to its live TV organizational chart.
Angie Massie, former CNN showrunner for “Rick's List” and ‘The Newsroom with Brooke Baldwin,” has been named senior executive producer of morning line-up, including Sam Champion's “AMHQ.” She will replace Scott Warren, who is leaving the organization.

i don't know what's going on, but it looks like the 3 AM CT edition of Weather Center Live has been replaced with Long Form Programming, is there a issue at TWC headquarters in Atlanta or did they decided that the 3 AM CT to 4:30 AM edition of Weather Center Live was no longer needed and just decided to extend the overnight lineup to end at 4:30 AM CT for Wake Up With Al to kick off the live weather coverage of the day.
right now, what's on is Weather Caught on Camera.
update: WUWA now starts at 4 AM CT, looks like the 3 AM CT hour of Weather Center Live got canceled via budget cuts.
-
I wonder if any on air talent have been effected by the staff cuts?
Noticed for the last 2 weeks Paul Goodloe has been doing sports related taped segments and has not done the 5pm-7pm shift with Kelly.
-
It looks like there will be more changes to live programming this weekend. From this tweet, Bonnie Schneider and Mark Eliott are anchoring from 9 to 12 noon eastern tomorrow. I'm assuming this means that the 12-2pm hours have been cut. I'm guessing Alex and Jen will do 5 to 9 (since TWC quietly pulled the plug on the 4am hour in the middle of this week.)

If this turns out to be true, than that's a shame. Ever since David Kenny took over as CEO of TWC, it has gone in a downhill slide with the addition of reality shows, dumbing down the LOT8s, decreasing Live Programming,. AMHQ and the increase of taped. fluff and non-weather segments during WCL. He really needs to go and be replaced.
-
Wonder what Direct TV has to say about this? I thought one of the reasons DTV and TWC made a deal was the adding of live hours that were taken away. The weekend live schedule is a joke with only 7 hours of weather.
-
Looks like it's a good time for DISH and other companies to start looking at WN & Accu!(If it's even on yet.)

The Weather Channel did change its schedule briefly to include more weather... but as soon as things settled down again it was back to "general entertainment" status for the channel.
-
As of Noon today I think "Fat Guys In The Woods" is on, so it appears the 12-2 pm block has been cut. So that's a total of six hours (4-5 AM, 12-2 PM Sat/Sun) that have been removed.
The way things are going, it would not surprise me if they cut more of the weekday afternoon/evening hours sometime in the future. So TWC becomes a morning show with 60 second (or whatever) live cut-ins twice an hour the rest of the day.
-
That is sad but I do hope cable and satellite companies will challenge TWC. With the layoffs of producers, will TWC even have enough employees and resources to pre-empt reality programming on weekends during severe weather? And will Weather Geeks air tomorrow?
-
The shift prediction was correct. Jen and Alex did 5am-9am.
I wonder what this means for Ray who seemed to only do the 4am-7am WCL on Saturdays??
Weather Geeks is a taped show so I'd expect it to be broadcast as my guess is they already taped segments to be broadcast.
Also noticed there was no one at the expert desk 5am-12m. Why bother having that new expert area if you are not going to staff it on weekends?

Perhaps they think the (by now) tiny alert scroll above the LDL is plenty for people in an area of bad weather, and no one else in the country needs to be disturbed by bad weather on The Weather Channel. Go back to watching... whatever the heck it is they show these days. I've never watched the longform programming.
-
WX Geeks was on then a quick weather update from Kim before going to long form and me changing the channel.

Wow, The Weather Channel has really gone waaay downhill this week. :facepalm:
-
Now that TWC has their first named winter storm my guess is we could get extended storm coverage in the evening this week.
They probably want to do as little live coverage as they can on weekends so they can extend coverage on weekdays.
Tom Niziol was in the lab for the 5am-9am WCL. 9am-12pm they did not have anyone there and did not use it.

You'd hope they would have some sort of Extended Live Coverage for Winter Storm Astro, also there is the big anticipated Arctic Air Intrusion this week as well.
But since this past Spring it seems to me they have been slowly reverting back to there old ways of less frequent Extended Live Coverage unless they really really have to. :hammer:
-
Wake up with Al is in Storm alert, but the ldl remains blue.
-
Stephanie Abrams was not on today though did respond on twitter that she's on vacation.
Just seems odd she was off last week and not on today for the winter storm coverage.
The 9am hour of AMHQ was all weather and they stayed at the desk instead of using that smaller table and chairs.
At 12pm ET TWC is using the small studio4 1C. Keith says it's just temporary use.
-
If I were DirecTV, I'd look over that contract that was signed with TWC back in April. There was much talk about TWC reducing non-live programming at that time. Seven months later, they are actually showing more non-live programming than ever before.
-
No extended coverage of the winter storm? Checked at 10pm ET and long form was on.
The storm is important enough to name yet not important enough to extend coverage.

Today is the 1 year anniversary since TWC relaunched and I can honestly say that the channel is worse off than it was a year ago due to the following reasons:
*The deduction of Live Weather Programming hours
*The increase of reality shows that mostly have nothing to do with weather
*AMHQ
*The way they handled DirecTV removing TWC.
*The way they handled Severe Weather Coverage (Barely anyone watches the Dual-Feed)
*The decrease of forecast segments in favor of taped, fluff and non-weather segments on WCL. Some segments aired on WCL are parts of Long-Form Shows.
*Dumbing down the LOT8s.
*Dumbing down the graphics
*Numerous changes that are unnecessary (The Lab)
*TWC bragging how "Amazing" weather and science is. They spent too many times explaining the science "behind" weather instead of forecasting it.
I mostly blame CEO David Kenny for this as TWC wasn't this bad before he arrived. I hope that NBC removes him soon or sell TWC.

You forgot about the gradual sounding of the death knell on the legacy WeatherSTAR units (https://twctodayforums.com/forums/local-forecast/4000xljr-the-end-is-near/ (https://twctodayforums.com/forums/local-forecast/4000xljr-the-end-is-near/))

Imagine being one of the 40 employees cut after TWC having spent all those resources doing a remodel to the expert area that had gotten a remodel a couple of years ago.
If I'm correct they don't even have a storm specialist in the lab on weekends since the reduction in live programming.
Plus I can't help but think back to the childish mocking of Weather Nation that The Weather Channel did for them not being live and now TWC is only live for 6 hours a day on the weekend.
-
To this day, I don't think I will ever, ever understand why TWC cut back on the LOT8s and dumbed it down. A few years ago (or more like several at this point) in the HD promotional video, Jim Cantore said he thinks the LOT8s is the number one reason why people tune in to The Weather Channel. Well, if that's the case, then why did they reduce the length of the LFs to one-minute only, and why are they wasting practically half of this minute with a dumb Welcome screen and even more useless hashtag screen? I just don't get it. Is the LOT8s just too expensive to maintain or something?
Personally, I don't have a problem with the removal/replacement of legacy STARs. Yes, I know it removes even more pieces of the "classic TWC" we all knew and loved, but that had to happen soon enough, as the old systems were certainly showing their age and probably difficult to maintain with the ever-advancing technology. However, at this rate, I think I would certainly prefer a WeatherSTAR 4000 (especially an XL) over the junk they show now.
-
Since Al did his Rokerathon, maybe he should quit TWC! TWC sure doesn't do 34 straight hours of weather!

What the heck is this???
@JenCarfagno: Starting tmrw! Join @TWCChrisWarren & me for a new live show on @weatherchannel 10a-12p eastern/7a-9a pacific http://t.co/fIX6b6BaJu (http://t.co/fIX6b6BaJu)
Looks like some significant programming changes coming tomorrow...
-
Just noticed something else that must be a part of the latest staffing cuts.
All the video forecasts on Weather.com no longer use OCMs on screen.
Instead the TWC meteorologists are voicing the forecasts.
-
TWC will preempt Reality programming from 8pm-10pm ET:

-
A promo just ran saying TWC would be here all day and all night covering the current and next winter storm.
I'm guessing that means extended coverage tonight.
-
Dave and Alex just said special report 8-10 ET.
Sam Champion and Jim Cantore are on at 6 ET (via Twitter).
-
TWC doing same thing tonight.
Sam and Jim at 6pm.
Kelly and Kim 7pm-10pm.
-
Apparently all of TWC experts were off or unavailable so Jen C. who already has a weekday shift had to come in and do segments from The Lab for the 9am-12pm WCL shows.
TWC is doing extended coverage today till 10pm.
Promos are running that say long form programming is on starting at 12pm on Thursday and Friday.
With people traveling on on Friday I find it odd they not doing a regular schedule.
-
TWC did a Special Report at 10PM ET/7PM PT on the West Coast Storm with Reynolds Wolf and Dr. Postel
-
But, strangely, they only did one hour, which is baffling. They hype it up as a "Monster Storm" but can't be bothered to preempt more than one hour of reality reruns. It's ridiculous.
-
TWC is in Storm Alert mode today for coverage of the West Coast Storm.
-
TWC started the 8pm ET hour on taped programming then was live nationally by 8:30pm ET. They were live at 11pm ET and are now going back to taped programming but still doing live national updates when needed.
-
Seeing live weather was nice while it lasted.
The Dumbed-down LOT8s with the TWC jingle and THEN the Christmas music is about on my last nerve.
The Windows8 wannabe graphics make me sick.
I just turn on my 4000 emulator now :wacko:
-
TWC is live at 12PM ET and the video is full screen on the HD Feed.
-
Instead of showing the rundown in the top right corner today, they have a list of "Today's Top Stories."
-
TWC just broke into programming for a Tornado near Meridian, MS.
-
Tornado warnings for GA and the national feed still on taped programming.

Tornado warnings for GA and the national feed still on taped programming.
Reynolds Wolf said earlier that they'll break in at :18 every hour for updates. It's a shame that with so much bad weather this weekend and a lot more coming this week, they still didn't really extend coverage at all. I wonder what it would take for them to preempt longform on the weekend.

TWC has extended live hours Saturday. Kim and Samantha are on 12pm-4pm ET.
Sunday TWC is live 7pm-11pm ET.

Weather Channel is now in Red Mode for Winter Storm Juno
-
TWC is in Storm Alert with Storm Alert music playing on the LOT8s. What's interesting is that the TWC logo is now red during the LOT8s and has a stormy background.
-
Since 5AM ET, TWC is NOT in Storm Alert but they were last night. I don't understand why is it like this.
Also, since 7PM ET, the LOT8s is only airing at :18 and :48.
-
Ray Stagich is on with Mark Thibodeau at 12 AM EST. :blink:
Also surprised TWC isn't in full-blown Storm Alert mode. (As in, the last LOT8s I watched wasn't using Storm Alert music, and isn't the entire L-Bar thing usually red?)
-
My TV Guide Listing updated with "Live: Blizzard Juno" running all night long.
-
i think the reason why TWC isn't in Red mode anymore for the Juno coverage is because they felt Juno wasn't gonna be bed enough to stay in Red mode. meanwhile weathermen in the Northeast and all of the media are gonna be under fire for over-hyping this like it was ether Katrina, or Sandy or the great superstorm of 1993.
i blame Weather Channel, NBC News (mostly MSNBC), CNN and Fox News for fueling the "weather hype machine"
-
My TV Guide Listing updated with "Live: Blizzard Juno" running all night long.
Mine is showing that too, with the programming returning as "Weather Center Live" tomorrow at 11 am CST. Long-form likely returns with "Raging Nature" tomorrow at 7 pm. My question is when they changed the name of the coverage. It seems a little late now, because it wasn't like this last night.
Also, I meant to mention this earlier, but Kelly Cass was on last night with Kim Cunningham. I wonder how long she (Kelly) will be sticking around? Samantha Mohr is on with Kim tonight instead.
CORRECTION: Sam is on with Mark Thibodeau right now, with Kim in The Lab. (Carl Parker was in the lab last night.)

Nick Walker will return for the midnight-4am shift.

anyway, moving on, i was channel surfing and ran into The Weather Channel HD Feed on Dish ch. 214 (Dish is my provider) which right now is airing "Highway Thru Hell", and i noticed now you see the the time and temp for all the cities in the US on the bottom half of the screen during the show and even on the ad break, the local forcecast is still shown. i checked the SD feed too and it's only on the HD Feed. in fact i have taken 2 pics of this, one from when the ads were on the other when the show was back from commercial. these two pics were taken from my tablet's webcam pointed at my TV set, so sorry for the quality

Interesting. I guess this means that TWC finally (after over a year) found a way to display weather information during long-form to viewers with the National Feed? I'm actually curious to know how this is done, as the bar is still transparent. I always assumed that in the past, with the opaque bars, the national LDL always cued, and a local STAR LDL would cue over the national one.

Wow, interesting pics! :blink: I guess Dish must have gotten an IntelliSTAR 2 unit installed at their headend, specifically to only display the national weather info during long-form on the HD feed. I wonder if it's possible for TWC to send out an update to the Dish SD IntelliSTAR (if they still have it) to do the same thing during long-form on the SD channel. :thinking:
-
Well....Just watched TWC (had to see it for myself)and indeed FINALLY!!, DISH has true WATT! I knew right when WATT started, TWC didn't bother with WATT during longform for DISH & DTV. So glad to see that's finally changed! What's interesting tonight is they have a Winter Storm Pandora Banner that stays on though out Weather Caught On Camera. You think TWC is trying a little harder because the position NBC News is in? TWC is somewhat tied into NBC News.
Anyone know if DTV got the upgrade as well? If I remember correctly, doesn't TWC SD on cable have full WATT? So, it can't just be IS2s that has it.
-
Yes the TWC SD feed on cable always has the local forecast graphic at the bottom.
-
Can anyone with Dish Network check during Longform and let me know if the SD channel has the National City Forecasts at the bottom? The HD is working but was looking for confirmation that the SD is also working. Thanks.

as of late Thursday night (Feb. 26)/early Friday morning (Feb. 27) at 2:00 AM CT, the SD feed now has the LDL Time and National City Forecast at the bottom.
so now both SD and HD feeds of The Weather Channel now has the time and National weather forecast.
edit: now with photo proof, these pics were taken from my old camera phone that is only being used as a alarm clock/camera.

Some news on TWC's ratings this month... AMHQ is doing better than ever, live programs are up 20% since this time last year, long form is up 47%. TWC's highest rated daytime program is the weekend 9-12 slot, so it's easy to see why they want to move Maria there (when is that going to happen?)

The Weather Channel Receives George Polk Award for Television Reporting for ‘The Real Death Valley’

@daveclark I think you need to return to previous schedules like pre-2013 watt relaunch. Then maybe extend lo8s forecasts by like 30sec
@jared_mauriello we are always learning and that's a possibility. Appreciate the feedback.

I doubt it because TWC recently laid off several producers/behind the scenes crew. But if TWC were to return to the previous schedule, they would probably have the returning shows automated.
-
If locals were extended back to 90 seconds (1:30min) what would they show with the current lineup?
-
I also want to add that TWC is having a hard time with live coverage during weekends. So not intentional (ish).
Probably as Adrian said with the lack of producers.

@daveclark Last I want to say is the weekend is too crowded with long form. I would really love to see live coverage in the evening on wknds
@jared_mauriello you've hit on all the right challenges. Not easy. But we will always be committed to live storm coverage and safety.

Despite of the ongoing Verizon FiOS dispute, I bet TWC is likely using this promo campaign just for FiOS customers to either switch providers or beg at Verizon to bring TWC back. They never did this during the DirecTV or Dish disputes. :hammer:

That article came out before Feb hit. You would hope TWC thinks a little differently about longform now after the winter we had, the Verizon drop and the possible addition of WN on DISH .
I don't understand something, I read Dave Clark's tweets on here Tues night. If he know the weekends are a problem, why doesn't he do something about it??? Can't they cut longform off whenever they want?!
I do

The problem lies in that they laid off too many weather producers and meteorologists. It probably would go against the remaining wx producers contract to make them work weekends (too many hours of labor). So in order for it to be fixed, they need to rehire more wx producers, which I think they laid them off because it was too expensive to keep them in the first place. :thumbdown:

At least they have the tornado coverage in full screen on the HD feed. The SD feed ironically still has the blink WATT bar. At least they are preempting their boring reality shows. :) I hope everyone down in Oklahoma and Missouri are alright. BTW, Mike Seidel seemed to be the only one reporting from the storm in Oklahoma City.
-
The live coverage continues as I speak. I wonder if they will still be on all night?
-
well, not only did they just preempted programing tonight for coverage of this tornado outbreak, they just played the Storm Alert 2013 theme during the LOT8s just a moment ago.
you know :censored: just got real when they play Storm Alert 2013 on LOT8s.
plus not only that, the regular LDL bar is also on too.

Did Severe weather not pan out last night? TWC was not live last night.
-
I think TWC did awesome tonight. I was so surprised to see an EF2 Tornado go through Moore almost 2 years later. I had no idea it would be this kind of night. Cars were flipped on I-35 just like May 2013. TWC covered every minute like they were supposed to. Hopefully they go until 2 AM because severe weather is expected till about that time. Let's see.
I'm seeing the national feed and the bar is blue?
-
And now TWC is back to its regularly scheduled longform shows. :angry: Shame on them for ending already, Weathernation is still covering the tornado outbreak, despite also covering regional forecasts outside of the severe weather outbreak in Oklahoma and Missouri.
-
TWC is now using the old severe wx themes used from 2008-2013 during live coverage. I like those sounds a lot better than the current WATT Severe wx theme.

About a few minutes after this was taken Carl Parker broke in for about 2 minutes and went back to long form. Isn't it TWC's job to cover it till the warnings expire? Plus why the heck would they end continuous coverage at 10 even though Tornado warnings were still active? Sure can't count on TWC to cover anything after 10, guess I'll tune in to my local stations where i'm sure they'll be on!

The Wall Street Journal reports Monday that The Weather Channel’s corporate parent, Weather Co., faces a “deteriorating” financial outlook. “Moody’s Investors Service on Friday downgraded the company’s debt, saying it isn’t perceived by cable and satellite companies as a ‘must have’ channel, and could therefore be dropped by more providers or face cuts in carriage fees.”

Not Good News TWC!!! I think it's time TWC change their ways. Rumors now say WN comes to DISH on Wed. Those rumors also say that DISH's not planning to drop TWC but who knows now after that article?

This sure puts the "WC" in TWC, dosen't it? :lol: Although logic dictates that it should be the other way around.

When you have a quote like this in the WSJ article:
In an interview, Weather Co. Chief Executive David Kenny said the company has been aggressively diversifying into digital advertising and business-to-business services so it isn’t so reliant on TV. Those areas combined have already eclipsed TV revenue, he said.
“I feel really supported to finish this transition that we have started,” he said. “We are on a very different path to become a data and tech company.”
It's going to be less likely that The Weather Channel will change its ways and more likely the network as we know it is shut down or completely rebranded. The Weather Company will go where the money is, and whomever owns the network could completely re-shape its focus, like how TVGN (the former Prevue Guide/TV Guide Channel) recently rebranded to Pop!, completing its overhaul from a scrolling program guide channel.
The weather information is available through too many outlets, and local weathercasters now have the same tools TWC has, which was not the case years ago. New networks like WeatherNation and AccuWeather show that no one is beating down the door for all weather forecasts, all the time and with that, neither side is going to pour tons of money into it.
But the second a major outlet rides out the wave of complaints and walks away from The Weather Channel completely and the company isn't too broken up about it, the end is sooner rather than later.

TWC is preempting long-form tonight from 8PM to midnight ET for severe weather coverage. My TV guide says "Severe Weather Outbreak" scheduled from 5PM to 9PM PT.
-
According to Greg Forbes' facebook page, they will be live until at least 2am ET.
-
To think there was a time when this was normal (the 1 am WCL and Evening Edition West Coast before that). If my team weren't playing tonight, then I might actually watch. Oh well, at least I can catch a little after the game.
-
According to Greg Forbes' facebook page, they will be live until at least 2am ET.
WUWA starts at 4am ET... At this rate they should just be on all night.

TWC is looking for a new OCM to replace Kim Cunningham likely with lower pay.
Wow, I thought they'd only be looking for freelancers. I'm surprised they're interested in new full-time OCM's since all of the studio shifts are full right now. Bettes is supposedly going to start anchoring evenings, so why would they need someone to replace Kim in that timeslot?

Tom Nizol is in The Lab. Thought he only did winter weather? And I wonder how much longer he will be in there today. TWC will be on all day and looks to be on all night again.

That's probably why he's there so others like Carl, Mike, and Jim won't be burnt out. I would imagine if they hadn't of canned Kim she would be helping out as well. I remember on a few occasions like the Super Tornado Outbreak of April 2011 for example where they brought in Bryan Norcross to work alongside with Dr. Greg Forbes. Usually, you wouldn't see Norcross outside of hurricane season.

TWC has done a good job tonight. There were limited commercial/LOT8 interruptions. Only weird part was when national information was being shown on the WATT bar. It happened just for a little bit, then switched back to local information.
-
Nice Job TWC!! I was worried earlier today when I saw TWC was on a regular schedule. TWC is still live as of 7:08PM CDT. Anyone know how long tonight?
-
Storm Alert music now on during LOT8s (finally!)

Figures, looks like it was only until 9pm EST. :hammer:
They even had the Storm Alert LoT8's Music playing and all! They could of at least went until 10 or 11pm but no their precious Long-Form garbage is too important for them to give up! Don't expect Verizon to bring back The Weather Channel if this keeps up. :fear:

and i wouldn't be surprise if more providers tell The Weather Channel, ether you drop the Long Form programing or we will drop you and pick up WeatherNation TV or AccuWeather's new TV network.
The Weather Channel, covering bad weather when we say it's bad.
i bet you money the only way The Weather Channel goes back to live weather 24/7 is if NBC sells them to some media company with big money is willing to spend it on this network. Time Warner, Viacom, CBS, Disney and Fox, i'm looking at you.
-

It took them this long?! :blink: Today was almost nothing compared to yesterday.

It would be interesting to see what happened to their ratings during these live events.
I hope they go UP compared to the taped programming so the company can see that live television for severe weather makes a difference.
Dr. Forbes and Carl Parker did an awesome job of analyzing the radar stuff. That vertical view of a thunderstorm never ceases to blow me away. That's cutting edge compared to what we see locally.

I would assume the ratings go up. They always do. And now I only watch TWC when there is an outbreak of severe or winter weather. Any other time? Forget it.
I think Carl and Dr. Forbes make an EXCELLENT team. They are both extremely knowledgeable, and neither interrupts the other and is respectful of what the other has to say or deliver. They should really be the permanent "severe weather experts."
-
The severe weather in my area is causing TWC to preempt the longform that should be on right now. Perhaps this is the highlight of this event. B) Real weather beats re-run weather any day.
-
TWC was live from 3PM ET to 7PM ET and then they returned to Reality Programming despite my TV Guide saying Severe Weather Coverage would continue until 11PM ET.
-
TWC preempted "Weather Geeks" for severe weather coverage. Then they went to Reality Programming at 1PM ET but Maria said coverage will resume at 4PM ET.
-
Yeah, Bettes and Carfagno are coming on at 4. But, really? They're going off air for three hours when there's active tornado warnings and watches? Unbelievable.
-

yes, turns out the "WeatherNation launching on April 20th on Dish" rumor was just that.
so now most likely, it will most likely launch sometime between this coming Wednesday the earliest to the week of the impending contract expiration of current Dish/TWC deal.
and TWC has been dropping the ball alot lately on bad weather coverage during the night hours and weekend due to NBC Universal basically cutting the budget and saving money by airing the reality shows instead of live weather all the time.
NBC Universal ruined The Weather Channel.

Kind of. For some reason, DISH waited until after midnight this morning to turn it on. TWC and their App is still there. DISH can be done making changes IMO.
-
Guys, the NBCU assumptions are getting old. Seriously. It's been almost seven years now.
The addition of more long form has been in the works long before NBCU took over ownership. TV viewership ratings are at an all time low as more people rely on web and mobile. I can almost guarantee you TWC would be in the same state had it still been owned by Landmark to this day. If you've watched any other news-oriented network you can tell that they have also been following the same footstep over the last ten or so years.

I noticed a new intro sequence for Weather Center Live tonight. I was able to get a video of it, but the quality isn't the best. I don't know if it's for severe weather, or just for the nighttime editions, but it's definitely darker than the usual intro. Has anyone seen this before?

I've only seen that as graphics for the screens in the studios; but not as an intro. I've got a feeling that it might be for nighttime editions, seeing as how we have the light black/red intro for red mode, and the cream/light blue for daytime.

That's funny because I myself saw TWC's maps on 'CBS Evening News' a couple of days ago when someone (not from TWC) was doing a weather report on the severe weather. :blink:

remember the rumors a while back that NBCUniversal is looking to sell off The Weather Channel, i guess we now know who would buy it from NBCUniversal if the rumors of NBCUniversal bailing on TWC (The channel of course as NBCUniversal's parent company Comcast bailed on their epic mega cable merger with the other famous TWC, Time Warner Cable) is true, which would make perfect sense since CBS is the #1 network in the US on free TV, and some market's CBS is #1 in News on the local front and also CBS News is finally turning around after the Dan Rather debacle and the failure of the Katie Couric experiment of her hosting the Evening News. i think they will be gaining on NBC sooner or later depending on whether or not people will trust Brian Williams after his lying scandal when he returns from his 6 months suspension.
anyway, i think CBS ownership could be better, plus they could join in with local CBS stations in O&O markets like Dallas, Miami, New York, LA, and Boston.
-
well it's safe to say The Weather Channel is "asleep at the wheel" as there's an ongoing severe weather outbreak here in North TX right now, KXAS NBC 5, KDFW Fox 4. the local ABC station WFAA 8, and KTVT CBS 11 are covering this pretty well while TWC is no where to be found and i think WeatherNation might be airing it too but not as much.
so i give TWC a F for the coverage or lack there off. and WN maybe a C on being able to give weather period and all 4 DFW stations a A to A+ for live coverage.

According to my TV Guide, TWC will preempt Reality Programming until 12AM ET on Saturday & Sunday due to the Tornado and Tropical Threat.

Holy cow! TWC just switched to full storm alert mode before my very eyes. They finally brought back the black L-bar with the red logo.
-
So,here's a cat I can finally after months let out of the bag.....
Argumentative Reality (or Interactive Reality) launched on TWC Today.
The team was working since September on this, and it's really something great that's going to really ehance weather presentation. They are the only network to use AR like this to explain weather..
Just in case people missed it..

-
IIRC, TWC Has used AR since the unveiling of The Lab. The Lab's floor "opens up" and shows a giant globe that then shows what ever weather event they choose to display. Also, the way The Lab's AR works, is that it uses the circular patterns on the floor as tracking points for the AR. (At least that's how I think it works, I did see a Vimeo Video on it.) Maybe that's how the AR view of a tornado was done?
-
It wouldn't surprise me if they are using Vizrt Virtual studio as they are already using Vizrt Weather. From my own knowledge all Vizrt products work very well with each other :yes:
http://www.vizrt.com/products/viz_virtual_studio/ (http://www.vizrt.com/products/viz_virtual_studio/)
I should also point out that the BBC examples I posted above use this system.
-
It could be that they are using VizRT Virtual studio, but I thought TWC used a heavily customized version of WSI's Max for their weather maps? Also I saw a video for WSI's new Max Reality Suite. It's basically an addition to WSI's Max suite that adds Augmented Reality elements into your weathercasts. Could it be that they're using a similar version of this? After all The Weather Company owns WSI.

It looks really awesome! I loved the view of the tornado. So know we know TWC uses Ncam Technology for their AR presentations.
-
I took a look at Ncam. It's crazy. It just has 2 cameras and an infrared sensor and uses reference points. Effectively it's a hacked Xbox Kinect. It's interesting how they don't appear to be using their own software though :thinking:
-
On MSNBC just a few moments ago, they were covering the Memorial Day Forecast and I've notice something unusual: no TWC reference! It seems that MSNBC is using their own separate graphics package for the weather maps and icons instead of the usual TWC package. I wonder if NBC is finally through with TWC? :dunno:

TWC has apparently made some changes to their daytime schedule. Alex Wilson posted on Facebook that she and Dave will be on 4-7pm every week "due to severe weather. "
https://www.facebook.com/twcalexwilson/posts/910749808968420 (https://www.facebook.com/twcalexwilson/posts/910749808968420)
So, it seems that the new Weather Center Live shifts are 10-1, 1-4, 4-7, and 7-8 PM eastern. I have no idea why they would do this; it doesn't make sense to have another team (usually Alex Wallace and Keith Carson) come in for just one hour, unless they're planning to regularly extend live programming into the primetime hours. Another possibility is that this is setting up for the supposedly forthcoming Bettes show: maybe they decided to make it one hour at 7:00?

I imagine the 7-8 team is on standby in case they need to go live during longform programming.

This has been talked about briefly in other threads, but the right side bar on HD is becoming more and more useless. Instead of the show rundown at the top, it's either just a bullet list of the top stories, or in most cases, a simple graphic saying "Tornado Threat" or "Severe Storm Threat" or something like that. (I guess having that in three different places really makes a difference.) Then there's that awkward empty space where they took away the rundown for local or national information. And if you have the National Feed, like I do, really all you're getting is airport delays, top severe reports, the holiday countdown, and weekend getaway information. Who cares? I don't understand why TWC has removed most of the information on that sidebar.
-
Sarah Dillingham (she's been the producer for Dr Forbes for years) is on air tonight covering severe weather with Bettes. I'm surprised they haven't used her on air before, and I have a feeling she'll be seen on air more with the new evening show.

not only do you need to log in though the website, you also need to log in to the stream via which cable provider is supporting the live webstream of the channel. and one of those is Dish, which is my provider.
so you need a weather.com account and the account of the provider that supports the webstream.

*While Kenny called the TV end of the business “good” and “steady,” he knows not to expect any increase in carriage fees. So long as the mobile and B2B businesses keep growing, Kenny’s not sweating the time ahead. “I feel — actually — awesome about it,” he said.
And despite rumors that the channel might consider a complete rebrand to a non-weather format, Kenny said, “It’s nothing I’m working on now. It’s way too early for us to give up on [cable].” So Vice and Yahoo seeking their own cable networks will have to look elsewhere for now.
Even so, Kenny admitted that the network may have to explore other options further down the road. “I don’t think it’ll be a linear channel the way we know it today,” he said, noting that is also true of many other networks.*

I just switched to DirecTV after having Xfinity for the last 7 years and found that TWC is now not included in some packages. Due to the rate increase in 2014 TWC now starts in their Choice package which is $70.99 a month! While I have the select package which does not include TWC I see no reason to watch them now because their graphics and format suck. However I showed @daveclark the gannet design and said they were aiming for it makes wonder if they'll fix a few things up soon? If for some maricolous reason they change the format more toward my liking I'll upgrade. However I got the $20 per month deal for a year and upgrading would only move it to $30 but upgrade or not the bill is going to go up greatly next August. Either way if TWC is charging that much for DTV to put such high price for a long form filled weather channel well that's just insane! :thumbdown:

Just to let you know, tomorrow will officially mark the 10 year anniversary of The Weather Channel's logo change.

I miss the old formats and logo as well. My local IntelliStar was around previously to the changes (can't remember exactly) and was put out of service only few weeks ago. It had a good 10/11-year run. You're right, it's hard to believe it's been 10 years...

Now we know why TWC will continue to show reality shows instead of weather:

"Season Two Finale of Popular Survival Series, “Fat Guys in the Woods,” Reaches 1.5 Million Viewers on The Weather Channel"
Wow, that's more viewers than AMHQ and WUWA combined.

TWC is streaming their live coverage of the Katrina landfall as it happened 10 years ago. Really, really interesting to look back.

Looks like the IS1 did not receive the weather advisory scroll graphics update from two months ago, as I saw this Weather Statement on my still-in-use IS1 just minutes ago:
(http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc475/TWCJim/weather_statement_2015_08_26_zpshkxvnecg.jpg)
Since the IS1s are about to be retired soon, I'm guessing TWC must have stopped any further updates on these 12-year-old units? :dunno:
-
Right now, TWC is preempting reality programming to cover TS Erika and other weather events. My guide said they will be on until 12AM ET but I'm not sure if they will since the storm died off. But it still good to see live weather programming during the weekend.
-
i just check and due to Erika falling apart, it looks like it's back to the normal Saturday afternoon schedule programming on Weather Channel.
-

Yeah, my guide still says "Tropical Alert: Tracking Erika" but long form is on. Too bad we couldn't see more live weekend coverage. I wonder if it's ever happened before where TWC planned to pre-empt a large block but then fell back on the deal because it was no longer necessary?

I was snooping around Twitter earlier, and I came across this photo from everyone's favorite TV executive, Dave Clark. It appears radar is on its way to the sidebar this month. I think we should be watching out this Tuesday; it would make sense to roll out the updates after the holiday weekend.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CNBxeEcWgAAjkHr.jpg)
https://twitter.com/daveclark/status/635132309591580672
This makes me wonder about the future of the LOT8's. They've already cut it back to 2 per hour during WUTV, and I would not be at all surprised to see them do that all day. Stay tuned...

That is interesting! It looks like TWC is learning from WN. Wonder if WN'S ways have gotten popular? You think we'll see this during longform ????? Rolls eyes.
As for LO8, it shouldn't affect it. WN has radar and an alert bar and they still do LWN/LO5.

I don't see anything different yet on the SD feed. What about the HD feed? I'm not home to check.

WUTV is still live at 8pm tonight. And, Keith and Kelly will be on from 9-midnight.
This would be a great schedule for every night...

I'm guessing it's because of Trop. Storm on the east coast and not the Trop. Storm itself BUT.......this is a good start of things to come!!!!!

yep, they are doing extended coverage of a prolonged rain event in the Northeast that could cause major flooding across the Northeast as well as the uncertain impending arrival of Tropical Storm Joaquin, which could hit the Northeast as a Cat 1 or 2 Hurricane, that is if it does make a path towards there.
-
JOAQUIN is still a Cat 3, will we see Storm Alert/Red Mode????? Sam said this morning that TWC is now 24/7 Live till JOAQUIN passes. Hopefully that's true since I saw longform at 8 Eastern last night! Honestly! 1 step forward, 2 steps back!
-
WUTV is still on until 9pm tonight due to Joaquin.

well, it depends on where it hits and whether or not it's a Cat 3, 4, 5 or a weaken cat 1 or 2 or Tropical Storm or Tropical Depression or Post-Tropical Cyclone by the time it hits land if it does hit land at all.
speaking of which, Joaquin is now a Cat 4 Hurricane and is possibly gonna peak at Cat 5 if it continues to strengthen tonight
-
They just discontinued coverage. Then again, it's not the weekend yet.
-
Interestingly, right before live coverage ended they pulled the latest computer models which indicated less confidence the hurricane would stay offshore. Yet they still went to taped programs at midnight. If the network is really planning on phasing out reality shows, one would think this would be a great time to practice....

It looks like TWC did a "automated" tropical update at 2AM ET.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's something like this overnights whenever 24/7 weather returns. I note that when David Clark was on Weatherbrains, he mentioned a 24/7 "weather stream" and not necessarily 24/7 live coverage.
I could see a "national current conditions/radar" thing with this.
-
We're going to have TWC all night! Keith and Bonnie are on until 1am, and Nick Walker will be on 1-5.
Keith says there won't be any longform this weekend.
-
I remember back in the day the network aired pre-recorded studio coverage from 2-5AM ET, which was essentially a loop of the 2AM hour. If the network does indeed go weather 24/7 I could see this as a possibility again. Better yet, they could air a continual loop of maps / radar set to background music and then add in LOT8s. Of course if there is severe weather they would go live.
Trying to predict what TWC will do with its schedule is akin to predicting a hurricane track. This next month will be an interesting one for TWC fans.
-
Interestingly, I just saw them promote Jim Cantore in South Carolina on ESPN College Gameday, with live video as well.
EDIT: oooooo, he's this week's "celebrity picker"
-
Word is that they will be live all night tonight due to the ongoing flood threat.
-

Still on as of 3am with no long form

WUTV is live again for 3 hours, and word is special coverage will be going on again after. Maybe live all night again?
Update: Back to regular programming again, after 91 hours of coverage.
-
According to http://www.weather.com/tv/the-weather-channel-live/news/tv-schedule (http://www.weather.com/tv/the-weather-channel-live/news/tv-schedule) WUTV is only airing from 6-7 PM on Friday even though my DTV guide says 6-8 PM on Friday? Could this be a new schedule starting or just one of those company meetings or a typo? Just something I found interesting.

It may have something to do with Sam Champion moving to primetime.

I don't know if it's a glitch but I just heard the Storm alert music on the LOT8s.
EDIT: Now I understand why. TWC will be on air until 11PM ET to cover Hurricane Patricia. As of now, the LDL still remains blue but Storm Alert music is on LOT8s (it should of been used during the SC storms).

The Weather Channel now offers a SAP feed where alert scrolls are read out by a TTS voice.
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yfSEoOhs2M#)
-
i been watching TWC the last few minutes and it looks like The Weather Channel is now on Red Mode (minus the full LDL being in black with a red TWC logo and the current storm alert LOT8 music) and they seem to be using red and black fonts in the graphics.
this is the first time i seen it be in red/black fonts since they adopted the current graphics recently, they didn't do this during the South Carolina historic flooding or last week's coverage of Texas flooding and Hurricane Patrica as well.
-
WUTV was extended by an hour last night (by surprise), and then after 9pm ET they were said to be doing cut-ins every half hour as a result of the storm over the Midwest and Great Lakes region
-
Just found this pic on TWC's Facebook page... :o :blink:
Anyone else seeing this new forecast map on their IS2?

Not yet, but I'd be happy to see other maps (besides the radar) again on LOT8s.

No sight of this on my IS2, or a few others I had friends check. Maybe it's a beta test of the maps?

If it was just spotted the update may come Monday or Tuesday.

Hmm... That's Louisville's IS2, which means it's close...
EDIT: Frankfort's IS2 is the same, unless this is the return of "flavors" and it won't air at :38 past. I'll check at :48 and :18 but this looks to be a Louisville-centric beta test.

Back at the beginning of the month the Allentown IntelliStar 1 I was recording was finally replaced. I managed to tune in at the right time and I caught the very first LFs after the LDL first showed over national.
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwnmRC7G6w8#)
What I find amazing is the fact that an LF ran without anything more than the CC and radar data. Normally the IntelliStar 2 Jr. wouldn't even output the LF if that was the only data available.

Haven't posted this here yet, but I caught this glitch on my new IS2 Jr yesterday:

Thank you Weatherman99, it seems like it's a bit quiet here.

They are live tonight until at least midnight, WU was extended an hour too but it was all "special coverage" in The Lab.
-
Just checking the Dish guide and TWC will have coverage of Winter Storm "Goliath" from 2 to 6PM PT today then from 9AM to 8PM PT tomorrow.
-
TWC was live from 5PM-10PM ET covering the storms. Storm Alert music did not play until 9:18 ET. Overall, TWC did a good job covering the storms but they did went to longform at 10PM ET. I assume they were shorthanded today.
-
i was disappointed with them wrapping up at 9 PM CT, but at least they did just as good of a job covering it as i live in North Texas, the storms were pretty bad and i think The Weather Channel was the first place where i saw the tornado that stuck the Dallas/Rockwall County line in the Lake Ray Hubbard area in Garland and Rowlett.
this tornado outbreak was pretty bad, but the worse hit areas were in Dallas, Rockwall, Collin and Ellis counties.
my home of Campbell, which is in Hunt County was spared the worse of the weather, but my thoughts and prayers to those in the hard hit areas affected by the tornado outbreak.
also i got give The Weather Channel a A, WeatherNation a B+, and WFAA Channel 8 (the ABC station in the DFW area), KDFW Fox 4, KTVT CBS 11, KXAS NBC 5, News-talk 820 AM WBAP (which aired their coverage at point on all of the Cumulus owned radio stations in the DFW area as Cumulus owns WBAP, and also WBAP is DFW primary EAS station for EAS alerts) and News Radio 1080 AM KRLD and 88.9 KETR out of Commerce (local NPR station owned by Texas A&M University of Commerce) a A+ for their severe weather coverage tonight. in North TX, 88.9 for closer to home for me, and the rest of the DFW TV and Radio stations for DFW area coverage.
and all the local stations just wrapped up their coverage just a while ago, KXAS ended their coverage first at 10:30 PM, then WFAA wrapped it up a short time later as did KDFW fox 4, then CBS 11 KTVT was the last to wrap it up.
i have a feeling this will end up being ranked a EF3 to EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale by the NWS

So, how did Sam manage that?? is he taking a leave from TWC to this? I can't imanage TWC would give him their blessing since it's a different company and TWC is still with NBC correct?
Don't get wrong, it's wonderful he's helping Ginger/ABC out and should be an intresting week at GMA next week. I'm jist wondering how he worked it out, that's all.

I was surprised to see Marshall Seese pop up on AMHQ this morning. Stephanie just gave him a quick shout out on camera as he was just visiting, but it was still nice to see him.

looks like Winter Storm Jonas will be a major player in the east coast. and because of that, The Weather Channel seems to be doing extended coverage, as according to the listing on Dish, they will be live till Midnight ET/ 11 PM CT.
the listings that confirmed the extended coverage of Jonas are:
Weather Underground: 5-8 PM CT
Winter Storm Jonas: A Special Report: 8-11 PM CT.
i would like to wish everyone in Jonas' current path that will get the blizzard and severe weather good luck at staying safe from the storm.
we here in North Texas were feeling Jonas' wrath earlier with rain and hail, but not really bad severe stuff, but he's moving away from North Texas now.
-
Maybe I'm overreacting, but I have been disappointed in TWC's coverage of this winter storm. It doesn't seem like they're in true "Storm Alert" mode. For starters, there's no alert music being played on the LOT8s, although that's not a big deal. But I thought for a storm of this magnitude they typically have limited commercial breaks and show the LOT8s once every half-our (usually just before the bottom and top of the hour). However, when I've been watching last night and this morning they have had no problem airing 10 to 15 minutes of commercials every half hour and showing all the LOT8s. It's also frustrating when the meteorologists have been in the middle of or just starting a long explanation when the music cues up, and they have to abruptly end what they were saying before the commercial break cues.
I guess I should be happy they're doing extended coverage at all and not showing long-form, but I feel like they could be doing a better job.
-
To my surprise, TWC is still doing live coverage all day today, even though they're really just recapping everything that already happened.
-
As of 9:17pm ET they are no longer live, unsure what time they stopped - maybe 8pm or 9pm?
-

Jenn Lopez and Carl Parker wrapped up at 9 and then rolled into new episodes of Prospectors and Highway Through Hell. They pick back up with AMHQ starting at 5.

Good point, but I found it because Jim Cantore retweeted from it yesterday.

if it's indeed an account created by TWC just to let normal viewers know of any programming changes brought on by severe weather, then this would be a great use of Twitter to warn viewers of a programming change
also if it is a Weather Channel official account (and if so it will get "Verified" check symbol on it's twitter page), then the logo looking weird and not right could be a hint of an impending logo change.
the current logo is now 10 and a half years old as it debut in the August 2005 relaunch of TWC and been the logo since then despite minor changes which are logo color changes.
plus i would mind it being the "Updated 2016" logo as they were due up for it anyway.

I can guarantee that's not a logo change. It's a fan made account with a logo made with the Calibri font with what looks like MSPaint. That's not to say it's not a good service but TWC isn't behind it.

bumping this thread after a month of inactivity.
anyway, i just switched to DirecTV last week and i noticed on Tonight's listing for The Weather Channel shows that they will be doing live continuous coverage of the severe weather outbreak ongoing now in parts of the southern half of the country. yes, my state is affected, as we seen severals rounds of the storms that hit in the last 48 hours.
-
if you haven't been to the Local Forecast section today, then you haven't noticed the two threads about it
but, guess what returned to LOT8s for the first time in a long time.
it's Smooth Jazz. as much of a Rock and Metal music guy, but hearing Smooth Jazz on LOT8s just feels right and i hope this might be the end of the generic LOT8s Music that debut between Nov. 2013 to 2015.
i also hope when they go to red mode they bring back the iconic Storm Alert theme that debut in 2005.

Wouldn't count on that last point. They invested a lot of time and money into the current sonic brand (which isn't that bad). If anything new pops up at this point, my guess is that it would be a new theme entirely, if they plan on phasing out the current brand (coming up on 3 years)> Again, I wouldn't count on either.
-
Sounds like the 2003-2005 Storm Alert theme (sans overplayed sonic brand chimes) is being used for segments during winter storm Selene coverage.
-
I've never heard it before, or maybe I'm just thinking of something else, but I think I caught it.

Apparently TWC is using Celsius for now on? Can someone verify this as I have no access to TWC today.

Whoops. Didn't catch that. :pinch:
-
Anyone noticed that so far today on Weather Center Live, it's been just one OCM and a locked camera shot?

At 9AMET, Keith Carson was solo on WCL.
At 11AMET, Alex Wallace was solo on WCL. He is usually on at 12PMET.
At 3PMET, Chirs Warren and Jen Delgado hosted WCL. They are usually on at 9AMET.
Very weird schedule. Did TWC shuffle OCM shifts again or maybe several OCMs are in meetings or something?
-
I saw this on Alex Wilson's facebook page.
"Howdy friends! You may notice Dave and I are absent this afternoon - that's because we'll be working different hours to get you through severe season. I'll see you during Weather Underground and into the evening hours (as needed for storm coverage) during the week - so a little later than usual but hopefully more of you will able to watch!.....Dave is off today. You'll see him tomorrow between 1-3p. I'll be on WU tonight!" I'm guessing Alex is moving to Weather Underground for now, and Dave will be on 1-3pm.
From Chris Warren's twitter page.
"Just started my new on air shift (3-6pm eastern 12-3pm pacific) @weatherchannel w/ @JenDelgadoTWC @jjabraham"
Not sure what's happening with the others. I wish they would just expand weather center live into the overnight, and go back to their roots, like they claimed they were gonna do back in October. Will they ever do it?
-
Looks like they are continuing to figure out how they using their resources. Warren and Delgado's shift was structured just like their original shift with the same guests, etc.
Honestly, this could be part of the eventual move back to more weather coverage, especially into the night. If they can make it work with one OCM and a locked camera shot (which probably means no cameraman), a skeleton crew could do overnights.
-
Dave Schwartz will apparently be doing 1-3 PM ET solo (according to comments on Alex Wilson's FB), which means I guess he won't be appearing on WUTV anymore. That's a shame, since "Dave's WOW" was one of the best parts of the show. I don't mind the idea of solo OCMs during the day if it means that we could have more live hours into the night, I just wish they would have set it up better. So the new schedule is as follows:
5-9: AMHQ
9-11: Keith
11-1: Alex Wallace
1-3: Dave
3-6: Chris and Jen
6-8: WUTV
Where does Mark Elliot fit in? Maybe eventually later in the evening?

weather.com has a Purple Rain background image in memory of the musician Prince, who passed away earlier today at the age of 57.

TWC logo is green today for Earth Day.

TWC logo is green today for Earth Day.
They do that every year for this one day, 4/22.
-
Too bad they did not utilize the special "Earth Day" backgrounds in the LF's (at least they did not on the satellite feed). I guess they are done with holidays and special days in the LF's. Arbor Day (April 29th) would be next up but I kinda doubt it.
-
The background on mine were trees at one point.
-
Storm Alert music is playing on the LF today but the LDL is still blue.
-
Just heard production music playing on the air at 8:10 ET this evening. I thought they got out of the habit of playing that since the relaunch. <_<

New graphic/map?

If it isn't new, its the first I'm seeing of it, it looks nice.

I noticed some minor programming changes this morning, specifically between :42 and :51 of the hour. First, Weather Center Live was cut short by about 3 minutes and was replaced with an ad block, with a TWC ad somewhere in the middle. After the :49 LF, it was another ad or two meant to cue local headend ads, followed by another TWC ad then it's WCL until :58. Either something may be in the works or TWC just needed the extra ad revenue, though I bet it is most likely the latter. :unsure:
-
I noticed that WCL ended a little earlier than normally today before the :48/:49 LF today, I am not sure if it is permanent or not. It could be a programming change, or maybe it was an accident. Who knows.
-
I had a chance to watch some TWC coverage on July 6th while dogsitting, as I no longer have cable at my house.
I'm guessing they were lying when they said they would have more live hour coverage, because it still has longform during the evening hours. And I'm on the West Coast...which means the channel dies for me at 5 unless it's a Tornado Alley episode in the Real Time form (like the Storm Stories type of way).

in case you didn't read the Dave Schwartz thread in the OCMs & Personalities, the world lost a great weatherman today as Dave Schwartz lost his battle with Cancer today.
he will be greatly missed.
RIP Dave Schwartz.
-
WHAT!!?!?! That was abrupt and sudden! Well at least we got to see him on TWC once more. He will be greatly missed. :cry: I was just watching his classic TWC videos just last night, and I'm still in shock just typing this. I still remember him watching him in the afternoon / early evening back in my elementary years. Best wishes to him and his family.
-
TWC is playing their "Breaking News" theme during local forecasts. I guess the Storm Alert music is no more?
-
You mean they aren't in Red Mode?
-
Nick Walker and Ray Stagich just came on for Hermine coverage. Those two along with Jacqui Jeras have been the only ones to appear in Atlanta besides Forbes, Norcross and Lowry and the live field reporting tonight.
-
The coverage is great. The local forecast music has that a storm is out there sound.
-
I agree. The coverage was splendid. :biggrin: I was able to watch via the Local Now app and The Weather Channel's live coverage was spot-on! I ended up watching continuously for over one hour.
-
Just thought I'd pitch in with a discovery I've just found using the LocalNow app.
Turns out if you do the sideloading method to install the app (It's not available in the UK for obvious reasons) and run your web traffic through a US proxy you can access and watch all of the LocalNow feeds. I'm currently watching severe weather coverage through Greensboro's feed.
I suppose it's the closest I'll get to watching TWC live

What's Sideloading? I installed mine though Google Play

Sideloading is installing apps via apk packages that weren't downloaded from the Google Play Store :)

Yeah I saw that on your channel last week, great is there anyone on here anymore, I just signed up, this is Weatheronthe8s.
Whoa, I didn't know that you were on here until today.
-
I'm starting to think Alex Wilson is like this decade's version of Stephanie Abrams. And if Crystal Egger was still on the network, she probably would have been the Alexandra Steele. Or maybe Crystal was supposed to be the new Stephanie but those plans backfired when she left.
Speaking of backfiring plans, I still low-key cackle at Kait Parker leaving the network and forcing TWC to bring back Kelly Cass full time. Like...you just know that TWC was NOT expecting one of their favorites to leave like that.
-
With Matthew continuing to be very powerful in the Caribbean, I wonder how TWC will cover this once it gets closer to the US
-
Kait is still doing some things on the network. I have seen her on some videos and even The Lift a little bit.
-
I know. But those are really minor things compared to what she left.

Jennifer Delgado got herself into some pretty big controversy with comments she made about Haiti:
The Weather Channel is apologizing after being bombarded with waves of criticism. The source of the understandable ire happens to be a meteorologist who was covering Hurricane Matthew’s then-pending destruction in the Caribbean. She somehow attributed Haiti’s deforestation to the island nation’s “hungry” children.
On Monday, TWC’s Jennifer Delgado said Hurricane Matthew’s impact on Haiti could potentially be more severe than neighbor Dominican Republic because of Haiti’s big deforestation issue. “They take all the trees down, then burn the trees. Even the kids there, they’re so hungry, they actually eat the trees,” Delgado erroneously claimed.
Delgado’s uneducated comment received tons backlash on social media, with one viewer asking Delgado when she has ever seen children in Haiti eating trees. Former Haitian Prime Minister Lamothe Laurent took to Facebook to slam the meteorologist, writing, “SHAME ON YOU!! Deeply disturbed by your reporting that Haitian children are eating trees! Where did you get that info?”
Phedra Remarais also went on Facebook and slammed Delgado, but not without giving her a quick lesson on the real reason Haiti’s trees are being chopped down. “The trees are used as a source of energy in Haiti,” Remarisis wrote on the social networking site. “They are cut and turned into charcoal for cooking and heat.” Additionally, Remarais urged The Weather Channel to find “educated and knowledgeable” employees rather than “the very ignorant” Delgado. The scathing message made its way to TWC President David Clark who offered up an apology.
“We are terribly sorry for the on air error and are taking measures to correct it, it should not have happened. The team is very concerned about people of Haiti and we will do our utmost to serve the public there in our coverage.”
Delgado, however, has yet to issue an apology.
[url]http://uproxx.com/news/haiti-children-eating-trees-video/[/url] ([url]http://uproxx.com/news/haiti-children-eating-trees-video/[/url])
She has apologized, per Facebook:
I want to apologize for a statement that I made yesterday that was inappropriate. My intention is always to provide relevant information to areas impacted by severe weather and I wanted to spotlight the incredibly difficult conditions that the people in Haiti continue to face, particularly in light of Hurricane Matthew. I deeply regret and apologize for any statement that I used on-air that was offensive.

-
So if she were to apologize on TV - everything would fine? Hardly. I read the comments on her apology post and while what she said was idiotic and offensive - people are still bashing her. They're calling her apology pathetic. Fact is, as people we demand apologies from those who mess up...but we don't accept them. We just keep bashing them regardless.
-
Speaking of Matthew, do we know if there is going to be extended coverage yet?

she did apologized on the air, it aired at the start of the 2 PM CDT hour of Weather Center Live.
plus i'm sure TWC will go to Red mode today as Hurricane Matthew gets closer to Florida.
-
TWC is using a new storm alert cut (or at least I haven't heard it before) for Hurricane Matthew. Anyone else hear it?
-
They're using the good 'ole hurricane sandy music bumps from killertracks and videohelper during live coverage. Sounds a lot better than the watt severe theme which is was too repetitive over the last 3 years. Although the storm alert music being used on the 8s is new which is fine by me. So far sounds the same as what was used during Hermine.
-
I found a livestream finally. Ray Stagich is on right now
-
And Rich Johnson!
-
Alex mentioned that they have THIRTEEN people out in the field reporting on this.
Is this why Alexandra Steele has been the ONLY OCM in the studio that isn't a storm specialist?
THey had this mess happen with Hermine too.
Is it that hard to have an OCM or two in the studio covering this? It's Friday. Chris and Jennifer Delgado should be able to cover this right? It's after twelve, so it's generally their time in the studio. Did they just tell all the OCM's to not come today and have this coverage rely solely on field reporting and storm experts?
-
Severe weather this weekend means more live coverage!
Rich and Mark are on with Forbes right now, and Mike and Liana were on yesterday.

A few updates on personnel changes:
Dr. Rick Knabb returns to TWC as Hurricane Expert after 5 years as Director of the Hurricane Center. He was with TWC from 2010-2012:

Good riddance on Anaridis. They literally gave a non-meteorologist a full time position while letting go of the actual meteorologists during her time on the Network. That never set well with me.

My interest in TWC after the buyout dwindled rather quickly after one of the anchors spent 5 minutes of airtime reading Twitter comments about how hot she was.

I'm pretty sure if that actually happened, she was more than likely mocking them, if anything.

Julie Martin is on the air today. Very surprised to see her again
-
looks like we got ourselves a major hurricane about to make landfall soon as Harvey, the zombie hurricane reformed yesterday and just became a hurricane today and is expected to become a cat 3 by Saturday as it will make landfall in Texas.
that means Weather Channel's already on Storm Alert mode with all the lights in the studio in red and the storm alert music playing during LOT8s.
-
well, for the first time in a long time, The Weather Channel is now in Black mode with red TWC logo for the LDL bar.
Harvey is really now a monster cat. 4 hurricane, S :censored: is about to hit the fan.
-
IMO the red and black is a cool, sleek look for TWC; I suppose it would lose its impact if overused, but it does look good. There's live coverage at night with OCMs, almost like there used to be. I desperately wish this extra coverage were under better conditions ( :huh: ), but between the eclipse and Harvey, this is about the most I've watched TWC in one week since that ice storm during the winter.
-
anyway, after Harvey made landfall, they reverted back to blue early Saturday and then reverted back to black mode today due to the flooding event in Houston by Harvey.
-
here we F :censored: ing go again, this time, i expect Irma to force The Weather Channel to go wall-to wall for the next several days with hurricane coverage and the return of Black mode when it gets closer to Florida.
pray for everyone that will be impacted by Irma

I'm shocked Weather Underground was canceled tonight
Anyone know why they couldn't track Irma tonight in there?
-
This is probably the most coverage of TWC I've ever watched for the first time in years! :) First the solar eclipse on August 21, then Hurricane Harvey from August 24-September 1, now Hurricane Irma since at least Monday. I think the last time I watched TWC on consecutive days was probably
"Winter Storm Jonas™" the January 2016 East Coast Blizzard. Now if only TWC would permanently ditch the long-form programing on a slow weather day.
I just hope every reporter on TWC and also on all other networks stay safe from Irma. This storm is probably even worse than Harvey.
-
Studio is now in red mode. How long before the LDL and Sidebar is red/black?
-
Sidebar now on during Commercials. Error or not?
-
That's great to hear. Thanks..
-
Sidebar now on during Commercials. Error or not?
not an error at all, i think TWC is pointing out the serious nature of Irma after what happened with Harvey a few weeks ago. and it's actually a good thing so i can keep up with what cat she is, how fast the winds are and where it's going without having to wait until they return from the commercial/LOT8s break.
-
With Tropical Depression Irma now dissipated, TWC has gone back to their regularly scheduled boring reality shows and documentaries. :( I think their coverage wrapped up at 8:00 PM ET. With the nearly two consecutive week "marathon" of watching live weather coverage on TWC coming to an end since start of the solar eclipse coverage, I really miss the days that even on a slower weather-related news day, TWC used to always care about forecasts 24/7. Heck, I even miss Evening Edition and Overnight Outlook being on every night. :( All I ever watch on TWC these days are AMHQ, WeatherCenter Live, WeatherUnderground, and Weekend Recharge and whenever a major storm is going on. Whenever the reality shows comes on TWC, I always change the channel. It's kind of sad how much things have changed at TWC.
I hope everyone in Florida has stayed safe from Irma.

Due to the changes, it sounds like they are now extending their coverage to Midnight..
-
The video wall in the studio is being replaced. You can see from this IG story from Felicia Combs what the area currently looks like.
-
That old “V-wall” as they called it, is being replaced with a new Immersive Mixed Reality set. Will be interesting to watch what that will look like.

This may be a bit out of left field, but hear me out.
I recently moved for work and instead of splurging for the local cable company that carries TWC, I simply decided to get a streaming service. Since most of them don't carry The Weather Channel, this left me in a bind. But I still have my folks' cable login from home and so was able to get the TWC app for Roku and sign in.
Once there, I was surprised to discover that the TVE-authenticated TWC stream featured a locally-generated (like, by the device) LDL (featuring current conditions, 24 hour and hourly forecasts, 7 day forecast plus sunrise/sunset and moon phase info). Granted, the icons aren't animated nor can it generate an actual local forecast, but it can generate a crawl for an NWS product (I checked, you can change zip codes seemingly at will) and looks damn near exactly like the one seen on air down even to the typeface.
So my question is...if even basic consumer technology (I'm using the Roku built into a 4-year-old Insignia TV) can generate these graphics, why not extend carriage to these streaming services like YouTubeTV or Roku and have the consumer devices that are streaming generate the content? Or even have this technology built into the latest satellite receivers and basically have like a very basic STAR built in that can generate graphics?
I'm sure there are answers to those questions like stability issues, legal issues, hardware issues, etc. but it seems like something that isn't out of the realm of possibility.
-
They are already doing it, and/or planning on it. Also DirecTV has a built-in STAR UI in their later boxes. its still based on older graphics and is a bit buggy though. But, its there...
They have put out job offers looking for developers to create the next generation STAR technology. So, with that said, This is probably in the plan.
the Watch TWC App gets very sophisticated and able to do what cable network STARs can do. It may even take place of weatherscan as its own App instead doing similar things.
-
Kelly Cass and Ray Stagich were together today according to Kelly's IG.
Sounds like a cool pairing.
