Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion

« on: June 10, 2012, 06:56:16 PM »

According to Mike Bettes' Facebook, he is going back to NYC on Monday for YWT.

Was Mike off last week after the Tornado Hunt? I did not watch YWT/WUWA since I have no school. Can you guys confirm that?

Programming and Graphics / Twist of Fate: New Episodes

« on: June 05, 2012, 01:30:47 AM »

Just saw a new commercial of Twist of Fate and the commercial said that Season 2 will premiere in June 8. No Press Release yet.

Can't TWC just show/produce new episodes of Storm Stories or When Weather Changed History? There is just too much long-form shows on TWC.

According to Maria LaRosa's Facebook:

Eric and I are just about to wrap up Weekend View. Join us tomorrow for Your Weather Today starting at 7aET. If you're feeling especially ambitious and will be up at 5:30a, I'll be there anchoring First Outlook! Have a great day and see you then!!

So, yes, whoever anchors YWT in Atlanta also hosts FO at 5:30AM.

According to Mike Bettes' Twitter, they are now finished with the Tornado Hunt. But we don't know if Bettes is going back to Atlanta or NYC.

Also, for the last couple of days, the OCM now says on WCL: "From the Weather Channel's Headquarters in Atlanta, your watching Weather Center Live". They originally said that on DP but now they are saying it on WCL.

That sounds like the producer's doing and whoever produces Day Planner could also be producing WCL right now

I remember them saying that on WCL 1AM ET this week.

Programming and Graphics / 2012 Hurricane Season Graphics

« on: May 27, 2012, 05:37:54 PM »

I noticed the last few days that TWC has new Hurricane Season Graphics. Tropical Update openers have not started but the Graphics are being used on Beryl Coverage.

In my opinion, these graphics look downgraded. Can anyone upload/record when TWC shows these graphics?

Just saw a commercial on TWC that says that "The Weather Channel Mornings is on 6-9am". They are completely ignoring the 9AM hour of YWT and the 10AM Repeat of WUWA.

According to Nick Walker's Facebook:

Join me with Adam Berg @TWCAdamBerg from 3-7pm ET today for #Beryl coverage

So, yes, they are pre-empting long-form today. Also, HD LDL is on red mode.

Programming and Graphics / New Shows: "Pyros," "Iceberg Hunters" and "Reefmakers.

« on: May 25, 2012, 02:01:09 PM »

The Weather Channel© Companies (TWCC) announced today that it has greenlit "Pyros," "Iceberg Hunters" and "Reefmakers." The three miniseries join "Turbine Cowboys," "Iron Men," and "Lights Out" (premiering Aug. 14) as the latest installments in "Braving the Elements," a new docu-series anthology revealing the work, subculture and characters of professions exposed to the elements and impacted by the weather.

More Info: http://press.weather.com/press_detail.asp?id=395

These shows make TWC look stupid. I can't believe how the network has changed in a year.

This Article proves that Al Roker has completely ruined TWC with his Long-Form Programs.

TWC's schedule is now like a Normal TV Station's Schedule rather than a Cable Network News' Schedule .

Besides Dr. Knabb's Announcement that he is leaving TWC, Scott Williams is also leaving the channel for WTXF.
