General TWC Discussion

[Anistorm]

TWC will host a Live Chat on Ida today at 2 pm ET. Will post a link soon as I look for it. >_>

EDIT: Found it http://www.weather.com/newscenter/topstories/ida_cil1109.html

Ray Stagich made on an appearance on YWT this morning!

So is this a new shift for him? Because Martin and Ana also said he would be on TWC Radio.

He is actually a TWC Radio meteorologist. Like I mentioned at the Ray thread somewhere, that his segment "TWC Radio Cam" debuted this morning.

I recorded the interview if anyone wants me to upload it here?

It's posted on Facebook.

FO started at 3 AM ET today, with Alex Wallace and Scott Williams.

So, apparently Weather Center was shortened instead of extended like what they said on twitter....

Actually I believe it was still extended, I think WC was live up until 3 AM ET when FO began.

[Mike M]

I know, I was saying WC overall (live or not) was shortened.

PlannerFail, TWC? These aren't 4:3 safe.

These maps never have been. Hence the ones you always saw during their HD transition last summer.

[Al]

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 (), Nick Walker mentioned on his twitter that he "will be on an hour early". So I'd expect some longform being preemptied today.

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.

And how do you know this?    I am pretty sure that if TWC was not getting the ratings, they would not have the long form 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.

Yay TWC featured its old graphic from 1991 during steve lyon's perfect storm flashback!

That production music that's used for the Severe Weather Opener I heard on this show called "Disorder in the Court" on truTV.

WUWA branded YWT at 10am... I expect Long Form to be preempted.

I am proud of TWC for one thing... They are actually covering weather
