Should TWC replace the overnight non live / repeated forecast with a weather scan like forecast in national form and or longer local weather forecasts?

Translation:

Whack EEWC's repeats with something in the form of the Emergency Feed.

First...does EEWC still repeat during the week?

Should Andy Cooper be replaced by a glass of coke with ice when he isnt live?

Yep, it now repeats Overnight Outlook-style. Only the first hour is live, and the the next two hours are recorded repeats of the first hour.

Who?  Google turned up a pitcher and a 1910's hockey player.

I was asking if they should replace the overnight non live / repeated forecast with a ver of weather scan in national form and or longer local weather forecasts.

TWC Australia does have overnight weather automation.

I think what he's trying to say is that he wants TWC Australia to show 24-Hour weather coverage like what our TWC did in the 80s and 90s. Unfotunately, it may not happen. Even if they're changing up the schedule, they'll probably fill the overnight timeslots with weather-related documentaries.

I think what he's saying is that TWC Austrailia shows something like WxScan during the overnight hours instead of repeating shows like our TWC does at night, and he is asking if we think our TWC SHOULD do what TWC Austrailia does.  :yes:

Makes sense and I am all for it. Get old seeing the same thing repeated each night.

Or have a longer late night one with pages from weather scan also places like Chicago need 2 map pages for traffic at times or it being better fitted that show all of the roads maybe centered on ohare airport the official weather station for Chicago maybe on the hd star.

NBC Weather Plus does show more then one map page.

If they that national for all or national for head ends with out a star? They should need some WEATHER PLUS stuff.

Should they have a Weatherscan HD?

Weatherscan national 24/7 for systems that don't have a star?

For headends with Weatherscan, the WxScan STAR output would run for

Now that I think of it, this would not work well.
