Title: Special announcement at 5:00
Post by: Eric on October 01, 2013, 01:33:13 PM: According to The Weather Channel's Twitter account, there will be a "special announcement" at 5:00 PM Eastern. I wonder what it is... :dunno:

Post by: brandonmahaffey85 on October 01, 2013, 01:51:57 PM: Hmmmmm this makes me wonder, what is going to happen. I wonder if it's an annoucement of the new Winter Storm names. Or maybe it's about the new graphics or something along those lines.... We will find out when it's time. I wont be home at 5pm but when I do get back home I will go to weather.com or check out this page....

Post by: Eric on October 01, 2013, 04:16:04 PM: I doubt they're going to make such a special announcement about things related to graphics or anything similar.

My guess is they're going to announce new longform programs or some other change to the schedule. Maybe a personnel change regarding OCMs.

Well according to @WCL_Shawn on twitter, it has something to do about weather. I doubt it's about the government shutdown but if it is I'm really going to be :furious:. I think like Eric said it might have something to do with scheduling or the new theme weather all the time? The Weather Channel is planning to launch a new site http://beta.weather.com (http://beta.weather.com) so maybe it's time for the 2013-2014 programming slate like announced in April. But I could be dead wrong?

I imagine that naming winter storms a second time will draw even more controversy.

Post by: Zach on October 01, 2013, 06:05:06 PM: I had a feeling this would be the case as well :rolleyes: but what caught my eyes was the 'F' storm (Falco).. maybe whomever came up with that name is a Starfox fan? :P

They are a LITTLE bit less ridiculous than last year in my opinion. I think that naming storms is a great idea! :)
