Here's a video of WCAU's poorly configured "NBC Plus." I also just noticed there's no daypart forecast on this either. How come? The national Wx+ and all of the other affiliates' local channels that I've seen have this, so how come WCAU doesn't? Also, notice how they have cities that aren't that well-known on some of the maps instead of important cities that people travel to. Also, like I said earlier there are ~15 current conditions cities, but only three forecast locations, making the channel rather useless for those who don't like anywhere near the three forecast locations.

I hope they plan on improving this soon.

No video, but 12 WX+ still churns on. The title bars are the same as those on WCAU as of now.

I'd give you an update but They took WeatherPlus off the cable line-up here and the TV signals don't get through in the room i'm in to use my antenna and Tuner. and another thing WAVE-TV may have dropped it altogether

I wonder where where the weather information on WCAU's new weather channel is coming from. It can't be TWC because the forecasts on the WX+ are much different than on weather.com.

NBC Weather Plus Website now goes to weather.com.
Apparently that was only temporary; the site now shows a 404.

How come yours still has music? :huh: I think they are about to yank WeatherPlus off here, they got rid of the L Bar data except the current obs.

I'm still getting music here, albeit different music than the old WeatherPlus had.

As of today, my cable box's guide now says "NBC Plus" instead of "Weather Plus."

Mine Has no music, and the obs and extended forecast works, but the Regional satellite/Regional radar keeps going back and forth
