Wow, they really need THAT much coverage. :blink: :blink: :blink:

i love how everyone was complaining that they weren't doing enough coverage...and now people seem to think that they're going over board. :rolleyes: get over it.

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:

According to Kelly's Facebook page, she's going to be hosting PM Edition Weekend from 7-11et again tomorrow.

Carl wasn't on Weekend Now this morning, so I am assuming he was filling in for Kelly on WV (I didn't watch).

Yes he was, it was Carl and Betty on 7am WV. :yes:

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.

Will there be more Alex coverage today that replaces long-form? :dunno: Since it looks like Alex will strike land as a Cat 1 hurricane, I guess it's something worth talking about. :yes:

Yes, long-form is pre-empted today. They've also been covering severe weather as well, so it's not solely Alex coverage.

Well, is this special coverage Alex coverage, severe weather coverage, or just oil-spill coverage? :unsure: Because ALL I keep seeing when I flip to TWC for just a few minutes is a segment on the oil-spill. :angry:

Guess you aren't turning in at the right times, then, because they are certainly covering all three. :yes:
