I think WXScan will run as it is.

As for W+, my local station runs local programming and an earlier night newscast, so I'm wondering what they will do with that. They probably might have a separate channel dedicated to their newscasts.

I'm going to stop posting news on this forum. And you jackasses have yourselves to thank. I'm tired of everything I do being carbon copied onto TWCC. And its the same people who do it over and over again.

Do we know if http://www.weatherplus.com/ is going down the drain too?

We'd have to assume so I would think.  :yes:

I would think it would go after the channel goes. In my area it's 10-2 on NBC10 (WCAU)... wonder what they'll do with the channel?

whoa, relax there a bit... Most of us did nothing wrong! Don't punish us :( I don't even know what happened...

TWC called, they want their Hillary Andrews back. <_<

Anyway, as for Wx+, I never cared for it; it got old in a hurry as repetitive as it was. I guess it was useful for a quick check on the weather, though.

One would assume that one of two things would happen:

i) it will be discontinued
ii) the affiliate will replace the WeatherPlus branding, and use a third party weather vendor to start another 24/7 local weather (or weather/traffic/news) channel

Who needs NBC Weather Plus when I got ABC affiliate WFAA's Xpress 8.2?

1 down, 1 to go, we have to figure out a way to get the AccuWeather channel canceled now.... I kid, I kid, TWC's best, but AccuWeather's a viable competitor....
