General TWC Discussion

[Charismatic Applesauce]

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).

Didn't realize From the Edge was out of the schedule

Strange, I remember seeing it just about a week ago.

It wasn't in the Q4 2011 loop, but seems to be in the Q1 2012 loop, so thats why you saw it Pavel

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?

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.

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?   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.

WUWA has pretty much lost its individuality ever since they got rid of vocals.

...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.

[Adrian]

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.

[Lightning]

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.

[Zach]

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.
