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?

Oh, I think I know!

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.

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:
