These tornadoes are very bad and though I do give TWC credit for being live since 8pm they should have never decided to not do any live programming 5pm to 4am.

I take some of that credit away as TWC is on tape at 1am when Weather Center Live should be on after very dangerous tornadoes in Texas.

Alex responded on FB,
"Alexandra Wilson Bob, we had a company meeting but cut-in to cover the storms."

I'll accept that for not being live 5pm-8pm though the TWC schedule says they are not broadcasting Weather Center Live at 10pm or 1am.

It seems TWC made a bad decision to re run the tornado week shows instead of doing live weather shows 5pm-8pm, 10pm and 1am.
They got caught with tornadoes in Texas and were forced to go live at 8pm.
TWC should have been live for the 7pm hour.

This has to be a ratings test for being on tape when live programming would usually be broadcast.
Nothing else explains why the OCM's won't say why TWC is not live.
Tornado warnings in Texas and TWC is not live. That's bad for a channel about weather.
Update from Todd, TWC is going live at 8pm.

This is sad a tornado might have been causing damage while TWC stayed on tape with an old show on tornadoes from tornado week at 7pm.

What I don't get is why TWC or the OCM's can't say why TWC is not live tonight.
No responses from the OCM's who are usually on and nothing from TWC on Twitter or FB.
We can only hope the ratings are lower then when WCL is on if this is some sort of ratings test when taped programming is on when live programming usually is.

They replaced the green screen with a video screen wall.

Last weekend "Weekend Now" was using the "Day Planner" regional intro transitions.
Today they are using what I'm guessing are the old "Weekend Now" regional intro transitions.

Yes, those animated regional transitions are very rarely used these days. They were part of the original DP package from 2008.

The regional intros are being used for weekend now.


They are also using the Weekend Now transition. Has that always been used or did they bring it back this weekend?

Warren Madden is on tonight with Kim. He might be the longest part time OCM currently at TWC.
