TWC will be live all night with coverage of the potential flooding in the southwest. However, based on what Chris and Kelly just said it sounds like it will be dual feed. So, those of us who don't live in the west will be treated to reruns of "Weather Caught On Camera" and "Fat Guys in the Woods." Thank goodness! I really didn't want to miss that!   

I live in the West and I am getting Long-Form Programming

Wow. 

In addition, my IS LDL is on Red Mode despite airing Long-Form. The IS2 LDL remains normal.

Does anyone know where Mike Bettes is? He hasn't been on AMHQ for about 3 weeks.

I just noticed that the days of the week in the 7 Day Forecast are no longer capitalized in the IS2 and it's LDL.

The IS2 reverted to capitalizing the days of the week in the 7 Day Forecast

I am surprised that TWC still cares and fully supports Weatherscan. Do any of you believe TWC will update Weatherscan's graphics soon?

I've been noticing for the last few weeks that the 10am ET WUWA has been live. Towards the end of the 10am Broadcast, Al Roker says WCL is next.

Emergency Feed appeared at 11:53AM ET when the microphones weren't working. The old "Morning Rush" theme , the WCL theme and the WUWA theme rotated as music during the Emergency Feed. It lasted until the LOT8s at 11:58AM ET.

Production Cuts at Sam Champion’s Weather Channel Show
http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/production-cuts-at-sam-champions-weather-channel-show_b231894

Four months after launch, the Weather Channel’s signature morning show, “AMHQ with Sam Champion” is feeling some growing pains. A tipster tells us that a dozen freelance production jobs have been cut.

While the show got off to a slow start in March, “AMHQ” has been seeing some bright spots. For the month of June, “AMHQ” topped the 7am-10am hours on MSNBC in the A25-54 demo by +3%. On July 4, “AMHQ” averaged 173,000 total viewers, outranking MSNBC, CNN and HLN.

this happened almost 20 minutes ago.

That has just happened to me a couple minutes ago. At that same time, other channels were showing pixels so I believe the IS2 shows the green screen if there is a problem at the Cable Headend and the feed
