The Weather Channel new live stream http://www.weather.com/tv/the-weather-channel-live/video/watch-the-weather-channel-live?pl=pl-live-tv-now you have to be a member on weather.com to watch it.


not only do you need to log in though the website, you also need to log in to the stream via which cable provider is supporting the live webstream of the channel. and one of those is Dish, which is my provider.

so you need a weather.com account and the account of the provider that supports the webstream.

Time Warner's not on the list but their live TV/on demand site has it. I'm happy.

Quote
*While Kenny called the TV end of the business “good” and “steady,” he knows not to expect any increase in carriage fees. So long as the mobile and B2B businesses keep growing, Kenny’s not sweating the time ahead. “I feel — actually — awesome about it,” he said.

And despite rumors that the channel might consider a complete rebrand to a non-weather format, Kenny said, “It’s nothing I’m working on now. It’s way too early for us to give up on [cable].” So Vice and Yahoo seeking their own cable networks will have to look elsewhere for now.

Even so, Kenny admitted that the network may have to explore other options further down the road. “I don’t think it’ll be a linear channel the way we know it today,” he said, noting that is also true of many other networks.*

I just switched to DirecTV after having Xfinity for the last 7 years and found that TWC is now not included in some packages. Due to the rate increase in 2014 TWC now starts in their Choice package which is $70.99 a month! While I  have the select package which does not include TWC I see no reason to watch them now because their graphics and format suck. However I showed @daveclark the gannet design and said they were aiming for it makes wonder if they'll fix a few things up soon? If for some maricolous reason they change the format more toward my liking I'll upgrade. However I got the $20 per month deal for a year and upgrading would only move it to $30 but upgrade or not the bill is going to go up greatly next August. Either way if TWC is charging that much for DTV to put such high price for a long form filled weather channel well that's just insane!  :thumbdown:

As of last night, Time Warner removed the live version. Bummer.

That's strange, I still have it. Might be a bug on your end.

Hard to believe it's been 10 years already. I still miss the old logo. :cry: Anyone's thoughts about the anniversary tomorrow?

I miss the old formats and logo as well. My local IntelliStar was around previously to the changes (can't remember exactly) and was put out of service only few weeks ago. It had a good 10/11-year run. You're right, it's hard to believe it's been 10 years...

Now we know why TWC will continue to show reality shows instead of weather:

http://www.theweathercompany.com/newsroom/2015/08/04/season-two-finale-popular-survival-series-fat-guys-woods

"Season Two Finale of Popular Survival Series, “Fat Guys in the Woods,” Reaches 1.5 Million Viewers on The Weather Channel"

Wow, that's more viewers than AMHQ and WUWA combined.

On the flip side, 1.5 million total viewers on a Sunday night doesn't sound all that impressive.

TWC is streaming their live coverage of the Katrina landfall as it happened 10 years ago. Really, really interesting to look back.

Looks like the IS1 did not receive the weather advisory scroll graphics update from two months ago, as I saw this Weather Statement on my still-in-use IS1 just minutes ago:



Since the IS1s are about to be retired soon, I'm guessing TWC must have stopped any further updates on these 12-year-old units? :dunno:

Right now, TWC is preempting reality programming to cover TS Erika and other weather events. My guide said they will be on until 12AM ET but I'm not sure if they will since the storm died off. But it still good to see live weather programming during the weekend.

i just check and due to Erika falling apart, it looks like it's back to the normal Saturday afternoon schedule programming on Weather Channel.
