Also there is no live weather programming 2pm Thursday to 4am Friday.

What?! Are you serious?!  :censored:  I don't recall that ever happening before!!
It's been happening since 2009, however in the three years past it didnt start that early <_<

I've been wondering since there is already Coast Guard Alaska and Coast Guard Florida would Coast Guard New England make a good show?

I really dont see that happening if TWC kept up with its promise to keep a lot of the longform weather-related :no:

I wish they would show the older episodes of Storm Stories pre-2005. I loved watching them back in the heydey

Even with two OCMs on at 1am tonight it's the same format with only two live segments and the rest full rebroadcasts of blocks of the 10pm show.
Also there is no live weather programming 2pm Thursday to 4am Friday.

Checked Weather.com videos and weather.com is still below the TWC logo.

These snow maps TWC has now are confusing. Don't have the base map be grey when the accumulation key is various grey and white tones.

As of today, all long-form shows have the LDL on throughout whole show segments instead of just at :08, :28, :38, etc. Not sure if this a new change or it's just a temporary thing for this week only.

They returned to no LDL during taped programming today.

Was only on for last week due to Thanksgiving travel - or at least that's my guess.

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.


Weather.com is still on the desk.

I wonder if weather.com is going to be removed from the building sign?

Does anyone know when the Christmas playlist will start? I can't wait to hear "I Saw Three Ships" again.

I've heard we will but I wouldn't be surprised to see it refreshed a little

Reynolds Wolf was wearing his suit jacket this am.
It's so much more professional then when they don't wear them making visible with the sometimes wrinkly shirts and wires for the mic and IFB.
