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.

[Mike M]

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.

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.

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.

[IceManNYR]

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

According to DirecTV, PM Edition still exists

IIRC, PE also exists on the TV guide for Dish as well.

[IceManNYR]

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.

[Adrian]

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?
